The Stovebolt Site Forums The Side Lot Old Dominion Stovebolt Society (MD, VA, West VA, DC, DE and PA) Tri-State Show -- Winchester, VA 23-25 Sept '16

Yesterday morning, I woke up and my face was sore.

From laughing all the night before.

I think that best sums up the weekend.

This year the Brotherhood of the ODSS did something different at the Tri-State show, instead of putting out trucks in line in the same field like always, we did what we do best. We wrench.

It wasn't a planned maneuver, it just happened. When we all got up, had breakfast, and Chris showed up. Rather than pack all our tools and send everything over to the show field we did it at camp. This started to attract visitors, many watched, asked great questions, and some even rolled up their sleeves and dived right in.

After that, others were driving their trucks over for a quick look, adjustment, and many left smiling because their truck ran a little better.

Before I knew it, it was 2 in the afternoon.

Perhaps some of the show organizers were not pleased with our actions but I think once everyone realized what was happening, it got them thinking. At our campfire Saturday night, some great ideas were kicked around hopefully we can make some cool things happen.

I had a blast. As Billy said, definitely the best show yet. I got to spend time with my Brothers and meet new ones too. Mike's dad I think had a best assessment of the weekend. Many people over a vast diversities of backgrounds coming together and making great things happen.

Glad I can do my part!!

When's the next one?
