48Bigtrucks, Scott, has posted so he is accounted for.
Vicki and I have been home about an hour with no issues, but being tired from a great weekend.
So let us know here on your status when you get home.
And the trip.
Thanks for all the help!!!

We got a few "thumbs up"----I'm pretty sure they were thumbs. Glad everyone made it home. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2002 Posts: 3,374 Moderator - The Electrical Bay | | Moderator - The Electrical Bay Joined: Dec 2002 Posts: 3,374 | Rusty Rod woke up early and decided to hit the road.

A lot of driving, but it was well worth it! Thank you to everyone for making our first event so enjoyable! Special Thanks to: The Alderson's for a great get together Friday night, Wayne for the vehicle/shop tour, Mike for the tool demos, and Don & Vicki for making us feel so welcomed....wouldn't even know we were first-timers! Looking forward to future events, and fellowship!

However, engaging with the Stovebolt group is what I will remember. Being with those guys is well worth a 700 mile drive from southcentral Michigan. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2015 Posts: 402 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Oct 2015 Posts: 402 |

Really glad you meet you Jim and your son Tom.
You got the long distance title.
Wish you could have made the meeting to meet everyone.
Also, thanks for helping knock down Stovebolt HQ Sunday.
