I'm from the East. I lived in Pines Trails and Clover Leaf. I had to get away though.

I think I met you once or twice at Walmart on a random Friday night. My dad is Johnny, the really skinny older guy that runs around with Gary with the 56 chevy BBC tunnel ram car.

I'm also on the Houston Fbody Facebook page, Cameron Barr.

I was working at Northside Chassis for awhile, until Mike skipped town on everybody.

I may have to swing by and visit you sometime, if that's cool. I'm always up for lending a hand if my schedule permits, lol, but it's been pretty open lately.

Where in Kingwood? I'm contemplating moving from the woodlands to either Forest Cove right by the golf course or to Porter, near 1314 and 59.
