At this moment...
It looks like we might have a rain free weekend for Stevenson - with or without the chiggers!  I plan on being ready for the drive-down Friday at noon, is there a meeting place already established?

We haven't established one yet I don't think, so throw in some suggestions. I'll be off work at noon, probably eat lunch, and then I'll be ready to meet up.

I'm skipping work tomorrow, so I'll be ready to go whenever...  What about the Lookout Valley Walmart as a meeting point?

That's fine. Sounds like Russ and I might meet up for lunch at the terminal around noon ish and leave after lunch. Can we say 1:30 at the Walmart in lookout valley for those that don't want to meet at the terminal?

Paul's wife got some video of Ethan going in the lake, she tried to email it and it was too large to attach. Matthew and I tried unsuccessfully to connect the phone to my laptop and pull the video file off. She was going to try and trim it so hopefully it'll get out soon.

Lock your doors before you go to bed at Stevenson! I heard some stirring around my bus, woke up and found this guy passed out in my floor. Turned out to be Ethan's dad Leroy.

That was a blast!

Started and ended with rain, but the time in between was great! Parts vendors were pretty decent for this show (its always a little less than the others). The lake was higher and flooded the woods we camped in last year as well as some of the other low areas, so the show was a lot tighter and closer together. The buggy jumping didn't really happen, but it was plenty muddy enough for lots of do-nuts in the field. The burn bus didn't make it out- someone said it was the lack of space, others said a permit wasn't issued (don't believe that- its STEVENSON!!!).

Lawn mower racing was a first for me, but it didn't seem as competitive as I had imagined. The only real way for anyone to pass was for the person in front of them to break down. I think I saw two people pass the whole series.

Definitely can't wait for next year, and I wanna go back in November for the rest of the lawnmower races.
