That's the one. Took a day off work so I could go .. and screwed up, took Sunday the 6th not Saturday the 5th.

Just as well, got like $20 left after paying the Pile-O-Bills and grocery shopping last week...

IMHO it wasn't worth the $15 entry fee. Very few parts really that were any good.

Boss-man thinks I'm gonna wake up a 5am on Saturday to go up there with him. Ha! Maybe if I don't sleep tomorrow night. But I probably should. I've kinda forgotten to do that this week.

Yow, really?? $15 ?! what'd we pay last year, $8?

I'm not goin. Nope.

$15 isn't bad, maybe the site is expensive to rent?

Eh, it was $15 last year too .. y'all are turnin' into cheap bastards.

Swap meets are always highly variable, and depend completely on what other people bring to sell. Can't fault the organizers for that...

TURNING INTO yes yes.
That's a 12er of good micro. Have to see it clearly.

We were thinking of going, but just to search the swap meet for beetle related stuff.

I'm looking for beetle specific: mirrors, bumper parts, oil bath setup, windshield, autostick starter, and that's all I can think of now...

So .. did anyone make it down there? Beautiful weather today (for a change, finally), wish I hadn't been stuck inside at work...

Nope took my kid to the airport, moped around, kicked the cat.

Hey, did anyone stick around for the races. Halse yAutomotive, (one of our PDX parts suppliers), Tim won in his class (not sure what that was).

He's the quiet one at the far end of the parts desk (he sits where Willy used to). Not the sharpest knife in the drawer but he knows his way around VW's. He's reliable for parts info and last minute purchases over the phone with the parts stashed in the brush outside so he can close up on time...Done that once or twice).
