I'm definitely planning to do this and hope we have a strong turn out so we can make a worthwhile contribution.

For any one that donates a toy, you will recieve a CCB t-shirt from the inaugural Memorial Weekend Fun Run. These are leftovers from that event so supplies are limited and the only sizes available are Small(8) or 2XL(3). Let me know if you want me to set one aside for you.

I also like the idea of a gift exchange for the kids so we should get a head count going if everyone else agrees. Madison and Spencer will be there.

PS...............a member on Classic Broncos who is an artist posted these up for everyone to use. I thought they were pretty cool.

We can meet for breakfast if the restaurant is close to Lincoln College of Technology. We start helping with the All 4 Fun booth midmorning, which will be at the Toys for Tots event.

A suggestion for a restaurant is The Grubbery at 4880 Havana St, Denver. It is new and we haven't eaten there. Reviews seem good. I called and they do have 8-10 tables they can group together in the back if we call in advance. They do serve breakfast now on Saturdays and open at 8am.

Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving Day.

We are cutting our tree that day as well, I bet we are going to the same area. Our plan is to go to the bfast, hit the toy run and run up to the mountains.

I like your idea Doug.

Looks like there are only a handful of us going at the moment.

Not sure if we will be able to make this one or not yet but I'm glad we have representation either way. I spoke with Mike, our resident NASCAR / Furnature row racing tour guide, this evening and he was also interested in attending. I'll be checking the schedule to see if this one is in the cards for the Johnson clan.

I'm going to be on a fast paced tour of west coast this week and won't get back until late Friday night.

So, if the guys from the south want to caravan up to the meeting point, just let me know when and where to be.

I'm good for pre-breakfast or getting a later start depending on whatever plan you guys settle on.

If anyone sees a grey Bronco with a frozen corpse behind the wheel tomorrow, kindly thaw me out and pour a cup of coffee in me.

Sorry folks, it looks like I'm out of the game. The F250 decided to go south on the way to work this morning. I got towed off of the freeway this morning and had to steal the wife's car to get to work. I had the tow take me to a Walmart parking lot off of Arapahoe where it still sets. Just got back from trying to start it but it's still a no go. Anyway I need to deal with it tomorrow. Have a great time and take lots of pictures.

Damn, if you can get it started and don't want to pay the tow bill let me know and I'll help get it home this evening.

Thanks for stopping by Zack and the tow offer Kirk but I'm going to use the roadside service i pay for through Allstate to get it towed home. I can then recharge the batteries and do whatever repairs I need to do.

Not a bad turnout for a rather freezing cold morning. We found out how cold it was standing around waiting to replace my alternator belt. Thanks everyone for helping/hanging around.

Diesel 911 in the fuel bowl and in the tank. Let it sit an hour and then cycle the key many times to circulate the fuel to de-gel. I bet you gelled up in this cold. If you have any issues give me a call. I'll come help you out.
