He just fetched it from NJ, stopped by Macungie for the show on the way home. Grigg | | | | | Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,878 . | | . Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,878 | Moved the Sterling yesterday, It was parked pretty square in the middle of the yard after they unloaded it. I must say it's an impressive truck, quite a beast, and sounds excellent with what's left of the exhaust system (non much) http://rides.webshots.com/photo/2042555680080251109ygkpbkShould have gotten a video... my navigator was riding on the running board though. Prepping for the Confab is in full swing. I'd like to request any spare chairs y'all are willing to bring for the weekend as well as a couple of large coolers. If someone has a ready made largish sign that says "PARKING" that would be handy too. Cosmo is likely stopping by this weekend to help sort things out and get stuff organized ahead of time. We have some long stainless steel kitchen cabnents/counters at Mom and Dad's place as well as a fridge and a big tent to move. Next week Dad will pickup the newly rebuilt commercial stove (in Maine) it looks very nice. The confab will be it's first event. I've recieved several RSVP's from y'all, Thanks! If you haven't yet and do plan to come please let me know about it at DieselConfab@Gmail.com Thanks, Grigg | | | | | Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,878 . | | .
