We're going to try to make it for our first run with you guys (and it will be my birthday ).  Mark's work schedule changed for today, so unfortunately he doesn't get off work until 7:00am tomorrow morning but he really wants to go.  We'll be waiting on him in the parking lot and come straight from his work, but we may be a few minutes late and miss you (assuming you guys are sticklers about leaving on time).

If you'll let us know which way you're going (411?), maybe we can catch up.

See you guys tomorrow!

That would be great!  Thanks!  Just in case, my number is 423-718-9538.

I'll call in the morning once we're leaving Mark's plant downtown.

I had a great time up there! The show was pretty weak as far as participation. Seems like they always pack the place out, but there was plenty of room and probably 1/3 of the people and vendors left by early afternoon. Some folks said it was the recent storms that hurt attendance. Either way, I had a great time.

I picked up lots of great parts. Most notable are the new P/C I got for $90 for 85.5! I couldn't pass them up, even though I didn't immediately need them. WAAHOO! I also found a 3 rib transmission, new boots for the CVs, new bearings for the bus, and a shift kit, since I'll have it all apart. I also got some sheet metal pieces for some rusty spots on the bus. The second biggest score was a used, but not torn, pop-top canvas for a late bay that I got for a song.

I also bought some parts for the giveaway motor for BP14 to help get that started! Hopefully we won't be doing that at the last minute again...

They had some hokey pro wrestling on Saturday night. It was worth about what I paid for it. Luckily I didn't pay for it... none-the-less it was entertaining it was soooo bad.

Camping as always was a good time. You just think that chain link fence keeps people from sneaking in... well on Sunday mornings, you can watch the prisoners take their 1 hour yard break on the other side of that fence. Kind of a spooky realization after you've slept there for 2 nights, but then I got to thinking: how much would it suck to hear everyone having a good time at the fair grounds while you're in the slammer! All prisons should be built next to the fair grounds!

It was nice to spend the day there and the weather couldn't be beat. I didn't get any parts or pics but I saw a lot of friends. Eike rode with me and I think he had a great time. He bought a truckload of parts and they all managed to fit in the TT

Had a good time as always. I dont know why everyone was heading out so early.    Hung out with friends and picked up a pair of front fenders for my brothers 68 bug.

Awesome way to spend a birthday!

The weather was perfect and thanks to Lamar's urgent style of driving, we got up there in no time!    Thanks Lamar for being a great leader!

Had a great time looking around and learning (wish some vendors would represent water cooled a little more but starting to realize that's probably not going to happen).  Left the show and continued up to Gatlinburgh.  Lucked out with very little traffic, great parking, and no lines for anything.

Then had to come home and pay for goofing off Saturday and plant my garden.

Will post some additional pics tomorrow.
