Should be a good time. I haven’t been myself and have missed this one the last few years or drove by it. Can’t wait to hoot & holler and drink some beers.

ok, after watching this I’ll need to get a high viz work shirt, cut off sleeves, and put some sunglasses on my nasty baseball had and pick up some chew on the way.... pewwt

For the love of the good lord almighty, grab some in ear plugs. For your kids, in ear and over ear. I went to the Lions Pull of the South and when there is the equivalent of 5 dragsters running at the same time(5 engines on one tractor)... You will not regret it. It’ll be a ton of fun for you all.

The only time I’ve been to a tractor pull was back when I was stationed in Florida. It was peak Florida, but awesome just the same. It was also the first and last time I tried boiled peanuts. Why that is a thing I will never understand.

I went to that pull every year for probably 10 years, I love tractor pulling, it’s the best redneck fun as far as I’m concerned.

We got some muffs for the kids for NASCAR, NHRA, Indy, & range days. But I’ll also have some push ins. By the time we get there they will have already started.

Parenting win. The over the ear muffs work well, not sure how kids will react to in ear plugs. My boys liked the muffs at the Grand Prix.

Have a great night. Good lasting memories to be made.

I’ve known about it for years, but never knew the dates or I’d be driving by and it’s happening, this year I’m actually skipping some overtime to go check it out. Saturday work starts at 7am though. Boo.

My wife though took the kids along with her sisters and kids on a 4 mike hike in the heat today. So we going to be dealing with some crab asses tonight.
