Just got home, it was great weekend. Started raining around 8 PM Friday and probably dropped an inch on us. Saturday was a nice day and we didn't have to post bail for anyone all weekend, so all and all a pretty good weekend.

Robo3 joined us, he did a beautiful job on his 70, very nice car. Was good to see everyone again and meet John.

I just got home, when I went back down to the park this morning @ 9:30 everyone was gone except my tent and chairs and empty beer cans. Stayed for the award ceremony as a friend of mine that has parked with us before won top awards for the featured car make of the event (Kaiser), he has a 52 Henry J that he restored and won top honors so I stayed and took pictures for him.

It has been one long weekend, cars, beer, cars, food and more beer...I need to to go back to work for a vacation......and to help pay for all the retirees that were with us..ha

Ohhh, look a bunny. You had to be there to understand that comment.

I found out that at 6AM, there was only one fool in the park. Me. I had to walk around smoking for an hour or so before I could even get in.

Had a good time again. We walked around on Main Street Sat night for a few hous, had a few more beers, then called it a day. Only casualty was our tent. I looked for a donation can that you guys set up for a new one, but somebody must have stolen it.

Hank, be sure and tell Lynda thanks for making the cookies, salad, and ham rolls, Ric, thanks for all the fixins. John, hope to see you next year. Again, beautiful job on the Chevelle. I hope Henry got the grill back to his ride. He just did'nt seem to excited about getting up at 7 this morning.

Checked my email when we got home. A guy from the one of the other sites I visit wants to buy my Chevelle.

Gotta know about the "bunny" comment. PM me.....

So what happened to the tent ?

Congrats Tony on the possible sale of the Chevelle ?

My canopy-tent got crushed by all the rain that accumulated on the roof. It made some pockets that held buckets of rain. The weight started snapping the aluminum supports, then it just collapsed. There were a bunch of them that happened to.

I'm not too sure that I want to sell the Chevelle. I had it listed a couple of years ago, but everyone wanted to beat me up on the price. I'm not in any hurry to see it go, so chances are pretty good I will keep it.

You couldn't just walk out the side door of the inn and into the park?

I'll tell her and thanks for supplying the burgers and dogs again. They let us drive Henry's car down into the park Sunday morning, done that in the past too so no problem.

We did have a good weekend with some good friends. The bunny, comes from a t-shirt I saw in FL.

"It's not that I have A.D.D., it's just that... Oh look a bunny!"

We threw out the "Oh look a bunny" whenever someone suddenly changed subjects or got distracted by other things. Had a good time with John on that one. Not robo3, another John that's part of our group.


Flash, Tony was in charge of pictures this year, so don't hold your breath.
