Rolled in 'bout 130pm yesterday. Meet was great weather wise, except for rain Wed. and Sat. night. I think crowd was way down compared to past years. And I did sell ALL of the cigar boxes and it MORE than paid for the trip. The highlight was meeting all the fellow hambers! What a great bunch of guys! Got to see the incredible pics of Mid-Century Crusier's 49 Merc. This guy is an excellent metal man!!! An aircraft mechanic by trade and only shaping metal for two years, he is amazing. I hung some HAMB signs up around my spaces and several guys stopped and introduced themselves.Thanks to all who stopped and visited. and a big thank you to Mike and James who I traded cigars for bar-b-q. Hope everyone returned home safely and has agreat week!
It was great to meet you and the others that came by or I had time to go look up. Damnit I missed TP and the fajitas. I apparently wrote his space numbers down wrong and couldnt find him. Wish I had more time to visit but didnt want to leave Kelly tending the space by herself too long. We left out saturday evening about 8:30. Heard there may be some bad hail so we headed for Bridgeport where were storing the camper in a covered storage vacility for a while then got a motel room. We made the rest of the 300 mile trip home saturday and arrived about 5 pm. I have 2 more weeks of work then I'm officially unemployed after 30 years at the same job. We will be moving to the springtown area in a month or two and living in the camping trailer till we sell the house here and buy something there. Then we will be much closer to the good swaps.
It was great meeting you as well Mudville. Really enjoyed the weekend and thanks for the compliments on my Merc. Gonna finish her someday and we'll have to meet up at a run somewhere. Ken
Lobuc, I left my phone in the truck and didn't get your message until sunday morning. actually it was on charger ,I ran it down several times. Wish you could have made the feed at the hog trough. We cooked 40 steaks saturday night, abunch of carnitas and fajitas. You need to follow rusty around. he has a homing devive for fajitas. TP
