Men's Night Out - The Coca Cola Truck
by Tommy G.

	Our July MNO was a very exciting and interesting night. Hosted by George L., his second one this year, was to bring out the experts to help him with his recently acquired C-Cab Coca-Cola truck. All total, there were 30 people that showed up and each had their advice.
Jimmy B. gave George a hand at hosting for George had day surgery that very day. Jimmy was doing a great job opening the shop, setting up the chairs and helping George Jr. with the hot dogs and fixings. After feasting, the crowd broke into two groups, the first was Jimmy, Nolan, Buddy (good to see him) and Mitch who begin working on George’s truck and the a group of 26 supervisors.				Half way thru, a car pulls up with George inside. He was on his way home from the hospital, with his bracelet still on his arm. He had to stop by first to see how things were going. George was still there after I left. This was because he was so excited that his C-Cab was cranked and running. He even called Inez and put the phone near the engine to let her hear the purring.
	From excited to very excited is how he felt when Nolan drove the truck out of the shop and around the parking lot. I thought George was going to dance right there. Yes, he still has some work to do after he is feeling better, but it was running and George was happy. This is an example of what Men’s Night Out is all about, helping each other. I felt good watching George and all I did was hold the flashlight. I too, want to thank the four workers and all the supervisors for everyone contributed to a very good evening.
