   No Honda for Funfest. 78 Corvette and Ford truck. Finally drove it the other day. Got it out of the garage and washed it up. A small cruise was in order. Felt a little uncomfortable at first, but after a few minutes, all was well. So the Vette is back on the road and the hip is good wit dat.

Jim

PS - By the way, there will be two of us for the Oct cruise

 You know hom some things just seem to fall to S**t .Ouch  Well anyway, Suzys business trip is now ending on the 15th and as of now, this is the plan. We plan on leaving after she gets home from work on Friday  the 17th and head up there. It is about  a 6 hour drive for us, so we would be a late arrival at best.  I really don't want to miss this one, hope to see you all there !

Unfortunately, Ms. Wally and I are going to have to cancel. Cry I have some family obligations that are going to require trips to Indiana and Texas over the next 6-8 weeks. We just can't fit everything in right now.
Maybe next year....

Sorry that you can't be there Wally. I know that you would enjoy it. If you do get a chance to make it that will be great.

I also know that from working at Funfest last week that the were 7 new signups from Wi that might have an interest in this event. So if you guys are watching don't be shy sign up and bring it on.

There may be some folks from the Chicago-land area as well but I haven't checked on that part yet. Either way the invitation is open to ALL if you would like to come.

Heck I even talked with a few CAC folks and gave them an invitation.

You'd better get busy and clean that vette of yours and stop dreaming about that new 2 1/2 car garage next door.  October17  is coming quick.

     Got to let her rest after a long trip before she gets her bath. She will be all nice and cleaned up this weekend. I have to worry bout the 2 1/2 next door because they are putting it in the wrong place - it should be going up in my back yard-DUH. I think the Oct cruise is in - sans car- we'll have to talk a little more about it. I'd hate to miss this cause Terry would be the senior citizen and I don't know if he can handle the pressure or if he's up to the challenge - BUT that dude can really LIMBO. Hope tp c u all there.

Will try to make it up for the Saturday activities, at least the Volo Museum.
No Vette, tho. I simply refuse to drive through Chicago with em!! I hope you guys understand, especially when you experience Chicago traffic...
Anyone coming from the south, I65 or I57, you're welcome to stop by on the way up or down. Especially if troubles on the road or simply to put your Vette on the lift for a check over.
PM for address and phone if ya want.
