Post by tristessa » Thu Mar 08, 2012 10:39 am

Bringing this to the top with this years date. Gonna be out lookin' for stuff, probably going on Friday 'cuz I've got the day off and no life.

Anyone else? Mike? Kirk? Mike? Hammy? Adam? Neal? Bueller?

Yesterday the weekend forecast was high 60s. Today it is high 50s. Why bother? Computers, satellites...
What day? Friday?

I'm thinking Friday, yeah. Going to a show Friday evening which'll probably keep me from getting up early Saturday morning, have to work on Sunday...

Bob, what's your forecast for next weekend? The way things are these days you've got as much chance of being right as those fancy-pants meteorologist guys who interpret falling stars to predict the weather...

Take some pictures and post them.
Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue, I’ve topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace. Where never lark, or even eagle flew. And, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod, The high untrespassed sanctity of space, Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

NWS forecast, I missed my calling.
Friday: A chance of showers. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 60.

Sylvester, it's a giant general automotive swapmeet .. VW stuff turns up here & there but it's not specific to any one brand. Lots of Detroit hotrod stuff, antiques.

I tend to keep an eye out for oddball stuff. Saw a Ford Taunus Transit van one year, couple of Crosleys, a King Midget, a GAZ-21 Volga, a Goliath Express ...

So .. Friday. When are we meeting up? 8:30ish? Gates open at 7 but the vendors need time to roll out of bed too.

Apparently they're selling discounted tickets for the Expo Center meet at Baxter Auto Parts, so if anyone wants to save a few bucks check that out. Not sure I'll have time to do that before Friday...
