Just updated this list. A few of the ODSS crew are unaccounted for, and others are still working out schedules. We'll add them (and truck, sleeping arrangements) as we get them.

We have reserved our "white board" space to "all things Wrenchfest." Counting down and things are in motion ....

yahoo or eeeek

I've sorted out all the posts and thread and made all Wrenchfest threads a sticky in ODSS so others not interested in the event, can see what else is going on around this Side Lot.

Got it. Also a "+1" truck or only a "+1" person? We can just add the name, if you want.

Only "+1" person. He's one of them "dag burn D O D G E" critters. He's rebuilding a '56 Dodge p/u. No accommodations needed as he lives in Lusby. Retired fireman if anyone is bringing a firetruck.
Skip Hoskins. (OK. Really can't talk or spell like a real hillbilly)

I will be arriving with Sweet as early as we can get there Saturday morning staying over and camping, leaving Sunday AM. Sorry to be late to the guest list.

Rolled out this morning in the 52 Pontiac Chieftain at 6:40am. Within 30 minutes the Hydra-matic decided to take a nap and I'm waiting for tow truck. Some nice folks helped me pushed it across the road. It will go in reverse only. Don't think I will be able to get there in reverse. Drink some brews for me!
