I don't know where I will be.  I'm going in on Friday afternoon to set-up my display, then I have to leave the Pacer in place all weekend.  I'm hoping to be in the main building next to the C&HP booth.
 
I'll let you all know what building I'm in on Friday night so look for my post Thumbs%20Up
 
Ya'll want a good laugh Rolling%20On%20The%20Floor%20Laughing  I've got Al Unser's email address and I invited him to come and join me at my display.  Think I'll even get an answer?

I wish I could go. I was at the Puyallup fairgrounds for a swap meet back in '89 when I was stationed in Ft. Lewis. What a blast we had there back then. Somedays I really miss being in the state of Washington. Beautiful countryside.
 
Oh well, have fun up there and don't spend to much $$.

If we go, it'll probably be a last minute decision.  Got 2 other events that Saturday...a Sweatheart's Ball and a Commodore's Ball.  Haven't decided if we're going to either.  Guess we better make up our minds soon!!!  Maybe we'll do nothing...I must be gettin old!

Sorry we are going to miss ya Aaron.  I don't know about wowing anyone with my display, but I hope to get a few new members for Adam with my "Official C3VR Registration Station". 
 
In other news, I don't have my spot number yet.  I talked to Karen at C&HP and they have not sent out the mailings to the Invitational Car Display people yet.  Talk about last minute mailings.  I'll post it as soon as I get it.

Looks like Karen and I will have to bow out.  Our other fiberglass love is about to get a refit.  We have to de-rig it so they can pull the mast next week and start work.

Well there is a 90% chance I won't be able to make it to the swap meet. Snoqualmie pass is closed until at least Saturday morning and no guarantees at that.Cry

Translation: 

Refit = spend mega bucks (i.e., no second Vette for awhile)!!!  Outside:  Remove mast, remove all deck hardware, wood trim, etc., repair leaks in deck and/or rotten core (wood between fiberglass), re-tab (re-attach; it broke loose) starboard (right side looking forward) bulkhead (basically a little wall), grind off old deck material, repair fiberglass where needed, repaint decks, remove old paint from hull, re-paint.  Inside:  de-mold, drill holes in cabin top to allow core to dry, replace headliner (stuff that lines the top of the "roof", replace teak on the sides).  I think that's it. 

De-rig = Remove all of the running rigging (all of the "ropes" on the boat) in preparation for the mast to be pulled. 

Did I ever tell you buys what BOAT means?  Bring Out Another Thousand! 

This is what will be taking up every waking moment of free time for us for the next two months or so.  Every little bit of work Mike & I can do means less charges from the boat yard!  I'll be posting pictures of the progress on my picture site and will let you guys know in case you're interested. 

Have a good time up there you guys!  Wish we could come!!

Karen, didn't anyone ever tell you what a boat is?  A boat is a whole in the water inwhich you pour money LOL
 
Glen, sorry you couldn't get over the pass but thats a sad excuse for not showing up  Wink  Just kidding, see you in the summer when all that snow thaws.
 
All in all it was a great day, lots and lots of C3's for sale.  I about died over this Black 69 Vert. with a 427 if I remember correct.  Thanks for coming out Larry (1BadLT1), John (jt's73), Jason (79rebuild) & Steve (WETVET).  I'll have loads of pictures after I get home tommarow.
