Like Dave says - I will be there and hopefully Bill.

Dave is talking me into driving too.......Deadwrench can cruise all day at 55, though route 81 scares me a bit. Also need a smooth ride for our mascot Miley.

Lots of road choices besides I-81.
Pick some smaller roads and have an enjoyable and relaxing drive.

Blue highways....blue skyways....for sure.
Will not be able to make it again this year. Still conflicts with the bluegrass festival I attend. I'll be with you in spirit and right down the road from you, camping in Doughboy.

Would it be worth while to load up a truck load of AD parts and try to sell them at the swap meet area?

Now wait a minute......I have to re-think my attendance now that flappy’s keeper may show up. His rants about the Red Sox last summer aren’t sitting well with me. And THEN, last year, he passed a comment that my dog looks fatter than the year before. The dog needed therapy, and now his Red Sox are unstoppable. I shudder to think about his attitude this year. I have a plan though, similar to my treatment of Pierce. Bring the step stool and try my aim at his gas tank..........again. Recycled PBR does wonders for a small block Chevy. Harrumph.

Plan for it joe. The attitude is coming to Winchester along with the diesel fuel. Better have a lock on your cap. Same goes for John.

Bill,

What is your plus one?
1. New truck
2. Wife (I assume this is your answer?)
4. Pet (dog)

I didn’t see the video.
