Fine morning -- Freyja and I just got back in from our usual morning PT and it is glorious out there. Stars out the wazoo. Just have a few more things to load and we'll be ready to roll. I have three fire extinguishers on the rig, so that shouldn't be a problem THIS time Johnny V and Gary will likely meet up with us in Dahlgren. Dempsey and Charlie look pretty cool on the trailer together It would be even cooler if they're both still back there when I get to Winchester ... Charlie's butt is hanging off the back of the trailer but I have the parking brake set pretty good so it shouldn't go anywhere. Plus, I told Charlie to "Stay!" and he's way better at that than Freyja See you in a few! Windo -- Glad I scrolled up!! I have one for you and I'll go throw it on the truck now!

Truck ran great. Nice drive through Virginia. Good to see everyone, good food, good fun. I suspect my Saturday departure led to charges during the evening fire. I will defend during our next meeting. Thanks to Billy and Amtrak Joe for shoring up the campsite.

The rain held off until sometime early this morning and then quit by the time we all hit the road. Fortunately we made it home without any check engine lights on the MH on the return trip which was a relief. It had me somewhat anxious. The bad news is I noticed oiled drops in the driveway when I pulled it into the shop. I haven't had the energy to investigate that yet.
Thanks to my assistant Camp Commandant for securing Camp Stovebolt ( and to Joe for assisting the Assistant as he was actually the first to arrive).
I never did hear a count on the number of trucks that attended the show but I think my mid morning Saturday it looked to be a pretty good turnout.
Great to see everyone, and look forward to the next get together. For those that couldn't make it, you were missed for sure.

I did notice one small drop of oil on the table that was tucked under there, my guess is engine oil.
I also had a great time, good to see the usuals and a few new folks too.
Thanks to all for the good food and friendship.

No huddled masses under awnings trying to keep warm and dry. No having to retreat into campers for "Smokey and the Bandit." (That part really sucked -- I was really looking forward to watching Smokey and the Bandit ... for the 8 millionth time. It just never gets old) It wasn't cold enough. It wasn't hot enough. Too many guys hanging around relaxing and enjoying each other's company. Too many good cigars. Too much good chili and dogs and burgers and ... Too much good beer and other, um , spirits... Too much fun. And we didn't get yelled at for anything (what fun is THAT??). Too many cool trucks to look at. Not enough jabber about NASCAR ... or the Mechanicsville Fire Dept. .... Yep, all in all, the weekend pretty much blew. Thanks everyone! Yeah, Speaking of the Veteran's day parade, Mike ... If you are going with us, I need an email or something to that effect. Verbals (if given) don't count -- I've already forgotten it if you've said anything to me.
