I will be there for the 14th straight year, we still have our room at the Fairfield across from the brewery and we are paying $179. What they do for new people getting in is they have you call on a certain day a couple weeks after the show starting at 8:00 and then you go on the wait list for people that will drop off next year. I was the first one to get on the list and been there for 5th year this year.

See you guys there. Hank, how is Lyndas' knee doing?

Pretty good Tony. It's not perfect but she doesn't have constant pain like she did before.

Ok, who is going with cars so we know how many spaces to hold. So far I have Eric (34 Hot Rod) Mike (no telling what he will bring but I'm betting the rat rod truck) and Jack (68 Impala).

As it stands right now, I will be there with my hot rod. Mucho back problems all week long. Been to sawbones every day. Finally took the tractor out this morning, strapped into the seat real tight, and smashed in the steel gate post to see if I could get my back knocked back into the right place. May have worked. Will know more in the morning.

What about Hank and his crew?

RBeckman

09-05-2015, 08:36 PM

I'm sure he will be there, just wondering if he will talk Ray into making the trip. I'll be there all 3 days.

How you feeling today Tony?

Back is much better. I told the Doc what I did, he said could work or could make it worse. Seems to have helped a ton. Now just dealing with the nerves going down my right leg. Pains me to sit down.

I went for a pretty long motorcycle ride, changed the thermostat in the hot rod and started making a frame to mount a rear seat in the new van this morning. Oh yeah, made flapjacks too. Keeping busy seems to help the junk that is wrong with my body these days.

Thanks for asking Ric.

I said on the previous page we'd be there. I'll call Ray, if he comes he'll probably just come up Saturday, no Chevelle.

You want to meet at Tim Horton's in Fenton, ~7:00 AM? That's what time we have been meeting, isn't it?

Yes 7:00 A.M. at Tim Horton's on Friday is the normal and it seems to work. I did hear about construction on I-75 North just before Birch Run at the Geneese / Saginaw county line and will find out how bad it is today as Leslie had to go to Bay City this morning. If bad, I know the back way through Clio that will get us there.

Sounds good, see you Friday morning. Is Eric driving up with us, I assume he is. If so he as to go at the back of the line. Tell him I don't want to be sprayed with anti-freeze on the way up.

That funny you say that, he texted me today saying he is going to drive up Friday morning on the back roads because he still has the coolant leak and it is happening around 3000 rpm and now he thinks it could be a head gasket.

I already talked to the witch doctor and he said NO RAIN.

I'm sorry Ken but if Tony's flip phone says it's going to rain you can take that to the bank.

FlintTony

09-09-2015, 06:43 PM

Flip phone says chances are down from 60% to 50% for Sat. I'll drop and kick said phone a few more times and see it I can get a 0% for the whole weekend. Stay tuned.

PS. I'm having a hell of a time trying to find a battery and some 35mm film local for my 40 year old Canon camera. The clerk at the local Rite-Aid didn't know what I was talking about. No shit, he didn't have a clue.

Wife and I are too sick to go this year........First year we've missed in I cant remember when.

Did Tony take his car? Is it by chance a fenderless black sedan with flames and a Hemi, parked next to Eric's car? My friend took a great pic of it and posted in on FB.

FlintTony

09-12-2015, 07:07 PM

Hey Ken, sorry to hear you guys are sick. That is my car. Post a link if you can.

The stinkin weather guys said a very slight chance of a 20 minuet rain shower today. Liars, I tell ya, liars. It rained from early this morning until after one this afternoon. it's pretty decent out now.

Had a good time with the group at the Autofest. I'm home now, but am going to try to get back up there tomorrow. It's "Bikes on the Bricks" here tomorrow, so I'm going down there for sure.

Hope ya get to feeling better.

Thanks John! Here is what I started with. This is the day it arrived from California. It looks much better in the picture than it actually was.
