    i think it's gonna be a game time decision for me. if the majority of the rain holds til late morning, it could be worth it.

    I plan to be there.

    F&J I hear that you've been looking for me. Sorry to have been absent- life is busy- lots of changes. Will I see you there?

    I'm waiting to hear from a friend who wants to vend...it's my ride up there. He said yesterday, that if the morning looks OK, he will go.

    Glad you replied because I forgot to grab the wishbone tubing leftovers that you might be able to use.

    As soon as I find out for sure, i will post here; as I have hubs for Dave50.

    If the weatherman is right, I'll be staying home for the 3rd year in a row. This swap is jinxed!

    6 pm, I just called Dave50 in Fitchburg. He says the rain is supposed to hold off till late morning.

    ...and, he "just now" fired up the new Olds Rocket in his coupe for the first time, and I am guessing he will work late to try to get the car to the show.

    Really? Really?!?! At 2 AM, the effing weather site said 100% chance of rain by 4 AM. I gave up on loading my truck, went to bed & shut the alarm off. WTF? It's now 11:23 & all I've seen is 15 minutes of sprinkles! I wish I could screw up that bad & still keep my job! I hope you guys that were smart enough not to listen to those ***holes had a good day. I'll see you at Amherst.

    My ride (whose name I will leave out for now) bailed on me late last night so my plans got all screwed up! My brother called me early this morning wondering why I wasnt there! Oh well....

    that nameless ride giver should remain nameless for fear of his life...

    we had a good morning. a few sprinkles around 11, and we wrapped up and went for breakfast at the airport diner.

    a good morning. now it's nap time.
