HERE IS the website for this Tri-State show. You can find registration and info there there.
HERE IS where we've posted details about the show and the flyer.

I plan on coming with the family minus the wife. She plans on getting some overdue housework done. I'll be bringing the camper unless my truck finds a ride.

I’m not sure of which days yet, but I plan to be there. I’d like to bring both “Gunny Trucks”, but might just bring one.

Now that I know the dates I’ll start some planning

I'm *planning* to be there with Charlie. Maybe, as a group project, we could tackle Charlie's timing and carb adjustment so he will idle correctly ...

BTW, That was Peggy in the OP ....

I’m planning to be there either Friday or Saturday or both if I get lucky. Probably camp in Doughboy.

I should be there Wednesday to help set up the vendor spaces with John V. I might have to leave Friday evening for a family event on Saturday...

Not sure what I'll be bringing...weather will play into that decision.

Mike B

I’ll be there Fri-Sun.

I tried to think of something witty to write to mask my lack of participation here on the site, particularly since I don't really have any excuses. I came up empty....All that being said, heck ya, I will be there!
I hope to get there Wednesday night or Thursday morning and get the grass cut in Camp Stovebolt prior to the masses showing up. Glen Martin has helped me gain access to the fairgrounds ZTR the last few years. Not sure what I am bringing at this point. I blew the clutch slave cylinder on the big GMC on Saturday coming back from a local car show. Getting it off and swapped out and bled will be fun. When I put this thing together there was no floor or seat or fuel tanks to contend with. Now everything has to be done from underneath with room for maybe one hand up in there. If the 860 doesn't make it then the '46 may just stay home too and it will be me and the 3800.
Billy

My early registration going out today

Billy, I'm sure your ODSS brothers are aware of the burdens you've been carrying lately. As for me, I start everyday reading the WaPo and scanning the Metro section to make sure there aren't any "Man strangles entire board of directors" headlines ... But when I find one, just hold on -- The ODSS Black Ops Rapid Response Team (recently returned from a very successful, highly technical and thoroughly coordinated across multiple disciplines extraction mission) stands ready (with a month or two notice...) to liberate you from whatever hoosegow you may find yourself in.

As for Camp Stoveblot (yeah, well YOU try typing with these fingers!), I expect everything to be shipshape and Bristol fashion when the Quigulator blasts in.

Hey Billy, if you need/want some assistance getting Camp Stoveblot ready for Winchester, let me know. I’m not that far away and I even have a mower I could bring, but it did break an idler pulley the other day 😣

Rather a long shot here ... but ... would anyone be interested in doing any biking while we're there? (Hambone???) I can bring both of my bikes (the one I'll let someone else ride is a Raleigh hybrid -- road bike/mountain bike). But if anyone wants to bring theirs, we'll go!

Pass on the bike. Thats too much like work. But I plan to be in attendance.

Hambone, are you driving something? Coming the whole time?

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO zur.

Marine Corps wins. Again.

Not sure what is coming with me, but not a bike. Will be staying after class for following weekend and visit to Lexington VA. Hope to arrive wed PM with my tent and coffee.

And donuts???????????

I'm gonna try.
On the 13th of Sept I'm heading back to Colorado to take another shot at Pikes Peak, how things go on that trip will determine if I can make it to Winchester.
I'll have to go home first to drop somebody off and pickup the engine.

Here's hoping.
John

Looking forward to it, Pat66

Pat .... NICE!!!

Dad and I are planning on making it again this year. We really enjoy the big trucks, laid back atmosphere, and most of all the Stovebolt Fellowship!
I believe we will be there Thursday--Saturday.

Looking forward to it!!

--Tom

Tom ...

If you believe, and earnestly so, it will *be* so. I will be glad to have your company there!

Safe journeys!

John

Pat, I really like the image on your cozy!

Mike B

Here is website for Tri State, you can find registration there . https://tri-state-antiquetruckshow.com/

Oh, thanks Patrick. I added that link to the original post and to the top of this one.

Oooh, my dad would love this, I’ll have to do my best to make it!

Indeed. We'll expect you there!

I just realized I need to get busy and get Doughboy ready for Winchester. I haven’t had it on the road since last Winchester. I been a bad boy ☹️

Hello fellas. I will be making a very strong effort to be at Winchester for this great gathering with all of you! I haven't missed one since I met all of you. I have not swapped out my tired original tranny yet in my old black pick up, but I believe it is capable of another journey across the state! I'm going to do my best to get there. I sure miss seeing everyone and I got a good laugh reading the comments here, as always. My fall schedule is full of enjoyable events that are desperately needed and I surely don't want to miss this one to get my fun schedule started off right!!

Jim

Hope to see you there Jim. Looks like the weather is going to be MUCH better than last year!

Ohhhhhh noooooooooo ..... Oh, Vic .... You didn't just say that, did you??????????????



Can you say "Toad Strangler?"

Guess I’ll never hear the end of it if it changes for the worse. I may need to reconsider my attendance if it does - but not because of the weather. 😊

Well, rain and trains are normal occurrences at a truck show. We've been through some doozies. Although, something about last year (Saturday) has left an indelible mark in my memory. I don't think I have ever been so glad to be home safe and sound, albeit wet, tired, muddy and hangry.
Maybe I will through the pop-up in the MH just in case. Maybe that will ward off any inclement weather. Maybe an additional 18 pack of samiches too....

We will have fun, no doubt. We always find a way. Maybe we will have to bring back golf cart mud boggin..

I'm planning on getting there Thursday late or Friday morning.
John

Samiches? No samiches for you! I am looking forward to seeing you all in a few days. Well some of you. Hope to make the drive on Wed for wed PM arrival only if the arrival party is in place.

Doug ... Are you headed to Lexington before or after Winchester? I have some stuff for Grigg the Elder if it works out that you could take it to him (if he doesn't join us at Tri State)

After. I can take anything you have for him.

Just a note to the ODSS folks related to Winchester. Stewart (S2) posted a Freebies ad offering some goodies to fellow Bolters, but only if they can be picked up. He mentioned:


Perhaps one of the ODSS can help Stewart rehome these goodies???

Looks like I'll be trailering Bill Stanley's 48. Pop finished the bodywork and paint and it's looking very nice. I got Bill a hotel.

I'll sleep in my tent, and will carry the Blackstone and some beverages. Looking forward to a safe ride over and down. We should be there Thursday just ahead of the rain.

Best, Joe

Joe - you are harshing my mellow. No to the reports that are not positive.
