Lodging, if needed, is available at exit 33, Davis Truck Plaza. Hilton Inn, Fairfield Inn and Sleep Inn.
Let us know if you can come.

Anybody need anything hauled from mid Mo?

It is with profound regret that I will not be able to make it to Wrenchfest after all. I have a conflict that will not permit my attendance.
Hope to see everyone at the next event!

I as well must pass on the event. I was able to get a couple DR's appointments for visits I have been putting off for too long. Also - the wife has a "procedure" on Monday that I can't miss. I fear I'm up against some weather to the north for the return on Sunday that weighs heavy on the plan.
I will raise a glass in your collective honor and do the wrenching I had planned for down there. Adding some stop-lights and painting my bed top.
Work safe/drive safe everyone
