Folks Of Interest ***Annual MidWest HAMB-B-Q April 24th***

Got the new alternator bracket fabbed up, painted and on. Starting on the food, pack up and we'll be heading that way in the AM. Of course its going to rain Im driving the 40. Jeff just make sure you're there.

 

Lookin' a little iffy for the roadster. Glad we have a "plan B"

 

I don't care what the blind weatherman says. It's beautiful here in Lawrence. Leaving in an hour or so, watch out hoodlum meeting to commence shortly!

 

Hi Everyone,
Am already in Salina... Will meet you all at Breakfast place... Pray for great sunny day...duane (NM Sandrail)

 

Just got my heap awakened from a long slumber...... headed toward Salina, we'll see you guys in the morning.

 

If anyone is in Salina with nothing to do tonight I'm going to the Paramount bar on Santa Fe for a band. I'll be the fat guy with a goatee and a red Austin Speed Shop hat on.

 

#### That description fits 3/4ths of the Hot Rod guys I know !! LOL >>>>.

 

Got me there, but I'll be the only one there that fits that description?

 

Hey, it is now today! The day of the event. Just got done building two bowls of potatoe salad. It tastes yummy! It's in the fridge letting the flavors blend till the eating part of this event. Can not wait till morning. Going to build the B,bque beans. Then head on out to Brown's Park to meet up with all the jalopies and fellow Hambers.

 

it was great to meet everyone, thanks for a good time folks

 

Well the rain held off until we were on our way home but we managed to have a good day and meet some new people. And the coolest thing was the host Jay handed out these cool ass dash plaques !!!! >>>>.

 

what an epic day. This is what it's about. I'll upload some photos later, I took a few.

 

Just got home. We had a great time. I found a little info about the Great Denmark Bank Robbery that the Hambers that were on the tour might enjoy. Will post it later. All I have to say at this point is what Jay might lack in map making ability, he certainly makes up for with his talant for staying on schedule!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Thanks to Jay and all the others who help to put this together, I know it takes alot of time. We had a great time, the food was fantastic.

 

We were glad to come over,had a good time!

 

What? No clam cakes??

 

Being the complete freeloader that I was, I would like to give a big thank you to everyone that contributed to make it happen. Especially you Jay - I am working on an all glass mausoleum in your honor.

 

For those that missed this, it wouldn't be the HAMB-B-Q without Robins traditional roadside talk with a cop, at least this time if was a minor mechanical phantom and not the handcuff kind..
MONGO

 

I swear.. Next year before we leave for the drive, I'm going to put a govenor on Jay's car to slow him down... This year...lead car 40 miles in front of the trailing car Well at least a couple of miles ahead.


Another good turn out, and another year of good cruzing to new places via the back roads of Kansas.


Is there any time down there that it's not windy?????? Headwind going, head wind coming back.


P.S. I left this morning because the chickens were crowing and woke me up, and I needed my morning cup of brew to get me going, but just kept on going north from there.

Thanks Jay for another year of a good BBQ and cruise. Even I enjoyed watching Avatar on the barn....Well as much of it as I could stay awake for.

I woke up several times during the night, and one time I saw it was 4:00 and I saw Jay over still tending to the smoker..What a man!!!!!

Tried posting a long artical about the Denmark bank robbery out of a book I have. It got lost in the shuffle somehow, so here's the short verson:August 10, 1932 2 guys do a daylight robbery, get away in their car, go into Lincoln, rob the bank there, get caught just south of Lincoln and admit to robbing the bank at Glen Elder also. Wonder what they were driving?

 

PS eating some Brant's bolonga while posting this!!!!!^^^^^^^^

 

I type? too slow.

 

I was about to say, I didn't get any bologna!

 

I am home and aready miss this weekend. the weather was great. Thanks Jay!

 

sorry I missed your party Jay---glad you had good weather.

 

I've been getting the reviews on the sausage and so far I think it was good !!! >>>>.

 

Me and the wife just got home a while ago. It was the wifes first time and she had a really good time. Rained on us going out on Friday, last night and coming home today but didnt dampen the fun at all. Thanks again Jay and Angie for opening thier home to us hoodlums once again. Sorry I missed the cruise but I had to fullfill a promise to the wife on Saturday, that I promised to do on Friday. (antiqueing) Engine Pro the sausage was great.

 

Had a blast, Thanks Jay, Angie, and everyone that came!!! Good times with old friends and new ones too!

 

As always a great cruise ending in excellent BBQ in the park. Good friends, good food, and lots of hot rod talk make for another successful picnic.


Thanks Jay for coordinating this every year.
