Oh, Rusty. We have a few shots that may help you remember, and smile.
It looks like this year, we went early (Thursday). Wanted to help set up all that great stuff Ed "Da Oz Tinman" Hoover got us the year before. (image #1) Mike "Ol Trucks" Taylor was storing it for us and we didn't want to stick him with all that work of set up. He has enough to do for his boss (Jim Carter). After all, it was a huge weekend for many of the parts suppliers.
It was much more relaxing to get there early. We've got a bunch of images that makes me think we must have done a Junk Yard Tour with a few of the folks who were locals. (image #2)
Sad that Paul "baldeagle" Schmehl (our Stovebolt Geek) didn't make it. He may be ready for Halloween, tho.

Rusty ... here's a few to remember. Isn't that you at the bar behind Cletis (image 4). And here we have some of the Friday early birds with our first Hot Wash of that day, hanging out at the pool. (image 5)
Speaking of hanging out, here we are in our primo spot (thanks to Mongo), ready to pounce on anyone who'd venture over. (image 5a)
Oh, and look: we have a happy customer. Who could THAT be?? Rusty Rod? (image 6)
And a HAPPY Rusty Rod ... as he just won a prize.

People having just plain fun. That's Ed Hoover and Joe "TooMany2Count" Weimer.
(image 8) Is that Ed's truck behind Joe?
Fun, fun, fun.
