Wally - bummer. We will miss you.

Terry & Elba are probably in the dakota's if I remember his pre-departure itinerary post correctly. 

Sorry to see ya'll won't be making it, Wally. We'll miss ya, but ya gotta do what ya gotta do.

Hello all, we are in Sioux falls, had to spend time in Watertown SD looking for two rear tires.... THEY ONLY HAVE TRACTOR TIRES IN THE FARM LAND Found  two 285/40/17 in a cooper tire warehouse in Bryant SD. They have never seen or have the tire changer to do Corvette rims, well long story short, got the tires on but broke the air pressure sensorsback on the road, oh yeah was hit with a snow storm in Keystone SD and a major rain storm in the Black hills. Will run south tomorrow and be in Effingham on the 18th in the am..See ya all soon..Terry

To all you lucky guys and gals that are able to make the trip to MAM, drive carefully and have a blast. I only wish I was able to be there as well. I know you will all enjoy the company of each other. Make sure us poor poor members that couldnt make the trip get lots of pics to see! I am very interested in pics of the carpet installation and the trimming they have to do to make the rear panels at the fender wells fit. My carpet is from them and it appears to be in need of major trimming. I wish I could have made the commitment to be there but it just wasnt to be.
Have a great time! And please be safe in your travels.

[/QUOTE] Man, I sure wish I could go because I would really like to attend the seminars and meet the folks I have not met yet..............and my car is in good shape to go, what a bummer.  It's just not fair, Joel gets to go!

[QUOTE=sundew]I'm out.. My wife, Judy, had knee replacement surgery 10 days ago. While she is recovering nicely, I am very uncomfortable leaving her alone for 5 days. So, I will have to skip this year's gathering. I am really bummed! [/QUOTE] Wally, I really enjoyed meeting you in Hot Springs and was hoping to get to see you again.  Maybe next time - and with your car!
