I did.
I sent Dave on his merry way around 9:00 this morning (after he bought me breakfast, of course!)  Thanks again for everything, Dave!

Did everyone else make it home ok?  Any problems?

Unfortunately I didn't even make it to Carlisle.  I usually go on Friday but due to the dire predictions for the weather I decided to stay home and make preparations for the house.  As it turned out all we got here was some wind and rain...have had thunderstorms far worse.  Still...it's better to move some lawn furniture back out and put flashlights and other items away than be mopping up water and chasing chairs and debris from the around the yard.

Other than a few leaks in the front t-tops (fiber towel handy), no issues, Even checked for any screws in my tire.

We made it home about 1 PM today. Dan (danascar) and I,  along with our lucky wives, got up this morning and had a nice breakfast. We then proceeded to the fairgrounds where we were told the site was closed except for cleanup. Bummer. All in all, I thought it was a great time and I really enjoyed spending time with all My C3VR buds. I just wish the weather would have held out a little longer. Can't wait for the next one!

I had light rain all the way to Corning, NY. Then it got dry as I headed west. No rain at home today.

Saw a lot of broken tree branches.

Got home at 2:20 p.m.

Here is a little video slide show from Picasa/Google.

Frank & I left the campground around 3:00 pm this afternoon.  Was home in about 2 hours & had sun & some windy spots, but other wise an uneventful trip home.

Gary - nice to meet you. I enjoyed talking with you.  And your car isn't half bad either!

I left Saturday afternoon for home and found rain about 10 miles from the house. First time since I owned it that it got wet while driving! Gave it a good wipe down and covered it up so it would sleep good! Had a great time at Carlisle. Special thanks top Mark who left me check out his car so I knew what mine should be like when done. Shame the weather dint hold out another day but we get to do it all again next year! Glad to hear that Frank and Bobbi made it thru the night. Was thinking of you as the weather got ugly here last evening. Hope everyone elses trip home was a good one!

Yep, we made it back fine. A successful parts run even though the weather chased away a lot of vendors. Sorry we didn't get to meet up with anyone there.

 We ran into a few five minuet/ 2-3 mile showers. Just enough to make us roll up the windows and stuff them with towels. Car worked fine, and leaks at the same places the convertable does, WINDOWS!  We still have no power as of this hour. Lost it Sunday morning about 0930. They do not expect to have it repaired till NEXT MONTH! September 1st. Shirley said she's leavin me to batch it. She is goin to our daughter's to shower and wash er hair. At least she has hair to wash!  Home is fine, few sticks and limbs to pick up. No water damage. Generator will get a work out to keep fridge, freezer and microwave goin.  M-n-S

Mark - sorry to hear about the power outage. We had to take the day off work today due to a transformer blown in that area of town.  Which sucks because now I have to blow a vacation day.
Hope you get it back before the 1'st.

Let us know if you need anything.

Sorry to hear that so many had problems. Power here only flickered Saturday night (according to daughter) and has been fine since. My mother (Whose house is 4 miles from mine) lost power and cable Saturday night and got it back Sunday evening. Got a text today from Dan (danascar) and Kathy and they had no power when they got home with no estimate of restoration. Hope everyone makes out OK!

well I thought the day off yesterday would be nice until I realized I had to burn a vacation day for it.
Oh well, could be worse.  I certainly hope everyone is getting their power restored.

Trip home from Carlisle was the easy part. Was told by our daughter that power went out here at home about 10:30 Sat. night. Had to bum a generator to keep fridge and freezer working and go to daughter's for showers. Well it just came back on around 6:30 tonight    No real damage here other than tons of leaves and branches in the driveway....kinda think they blew Irene out of proportion. Did see quite a few trees uprooted and snapped off on the way home and a river very close to coming up on the road we were on, but that was the worst.
