August 12th through the 16th.

Not that it's possible for any of you to think less of me than you already do, but, would you guys think less of me if I just brought the bike?

Jeez, that's a new low, even fer you Rick...I'd expect this sorta thing from Chuck but...

I will be scheming every way I can figure to be there. With the first day of school being the 20th, it is really tough. I'll see what I can do.

Chooch, there where???? Surely you jest!
Well, I still have to reserve the room, but I have my spot on th high speed ferry, that was the one I worry about. The room is a peice of cake.
Mark, I have to leave at 11:30 on Saturday in order to catch the ferry back.

Chuck has to catch the fairy.....isn't that just great?

Maybe I'll just stay home.

ROFL! I dunno, it'd about be worth the trip just to see him catch it. Seein' what he'd do with it is quite another matter, however...

Sick, just plain sick. Doesn't mean I won't watch though

--------------------------------------------
And the Lord said unto John; Come forth and receive eternal life. But John came fifth and won a toaster.

There are a lot of fairy's he could catch if he tried. Bring what ever makes you happy Rick. Looking forward to seeing you all again.

I thought we were gonna park at Vermeesch's and you were gonna spend the day...

One of these years I'm gonna be there too! Everybody else likely to be in wheel chair by then though.... I guess it be just me and Blair cruizin in our moredoors...

Good rates at Red Roof....47.49 TWT and 52.49 FS

I guess the lack of a big car guy crowd last year caused them to drop the "Special Event" rates.

Seems like fewer long distance people are coming last few years. The Fairfield over on Stevenson Highway used to packed with old cars. Last year there were just a very small handful. I remember a few years at Red Roof we had a hell of a time finding a place to park all the trailers. Sure wasn't a problem last year!

I guess it's the gas prices but I just can't imagine that a few bucks for gas would affect it that bad. Basically gas price has doubled in three years from around 1.50 gallon to 3.00 gallon. So unless you're REALLY long distance, say you paid 100 for gas three years ago now it will cost you 200.

My round trip is about 1000 miles. At 1.50 gallon the trip cost me about $105. At $3.30 gallon it will cost me about $231. Hum-de-Dum. I guess I'll eat at McDonalds instead of the Steakhouse. Or stop at Farmer Jacks and buy some Bread and Bologna...........

As long as there's an Onion Roll Deli & Chicken Shack I'm there!

--------------------------------------------
And the Lord said unto John; Come forth and receive eternal life. But John came fifth and won a toaster.

Mmmm... Onion roll, Chicken Shack, and the Mexican restaurant by the Roof are just plain good eatin!

I'm in for Thursday thru Sunday pending an act of God or work obligation.

I have not heard back from Johnny V. about parking, but I'm on the list.

That poor little fairy. Chuck's going to do some awful stuff to it if he can catch it.

We may not recognize the Fairy.....beings it's one of Chucks obligations, he/she may disguise themselves in an ever popular "Tron Suit" of their own.....

Mine eyes will be wide shut.

Hey Jerry! Give me some money and I'll bring you back a sandwich!!!

The sandwich is reasonably priced, its the delivery charge that they rape you on

I would but I'm waiting on my change from the $50.00 I gave you last year.. Or was it a $100.00??

I'm HERE!!! You're THERE, until you get here. I'm looking forward to it, good Lord willin and the creeks don't rise! Hopefully the local economy will turn around enough so I don't have to sell anything for fear of losing it. Fried balogna sandwiches sounds pretty good too, Greg!

Hmm... fried bologna sam'ich, The Bomber Restaurant in Ypsi has those...

Do you guys have parking spots this year?

It kinda worked out ok for me last year since I don't stay for Sat. Then again, it's always nice to have a spot to call your own too.....

Last thing I heard was that some of the crew were going to park at Vermeesch's on Friday and Saturday but Chuck is bailing early on Saturday AS USUAL so I'm not sure.

I don't think anyone had paid yet. We were on a call list from Vermeesch.

Did we just get lucky on Friday last year? I remember you guys renting the Arby's lot for a cpl. years before I met you all 2 years ago. I recall that you and I and Bill and Greg and Jerry and his Dad kinda staked a claim at the spot last year on Friday. Saturday must be a totally different story.

Yes, we got lucky on Friday last year.

There are places available on Saturday but most are once in and once out.

So we are staying at the Roof?

I guess that is a yes. I seen where you posted the rates but I didn't hear the general consensus,the yea or nay or the majority ruling.You gonna take the Comet or have you made that decision yet?

It's yes for me! I think Rick and Uncle Chuckles too.

This year's ride will be the Battlestar One car.

Yup, us too

Greg if you're bringing Battle Star One. I'd buy lunch at the Onion Roll for a ride in that rig..

Damn it, I was going to call "shotgun"........

I'd be happy with a backseat ride.lol Somehow I just never get around to asking for a ride until the week is over. Every year goes by and I say "I'll have to ask next year".


I'd like to see what stroked big block power can do.

Battlestar Funland tickets can be purchased on line. Simply send an email to the following email address:

zwolf1@wi.rr.com

You will be instructed on how to deposit you money into my , ehr, ahh, I mean "a" email account and your tickets will arrive shortly in the mail.

Good!! cause I also want to beg a ride.

I bagged a ride it battle one a few years ago what a blast. It will pit you back in the seat before you can blink. Stab the throttle and all you see is sky. awesome!!!!!!!!!!

Well, I'll try to see to it that everyone gets a ride.....

Doug FFF, a special treat for you.....how about a 100 mph ride down 11 Mile with no seat belt? I always like to pay back my "debts"....

Oh, if anyone isn't familiar with 11 Mile Road, it's a not too wide street with a 30 mph speed limit.

Yes, Douglas, I owe you at least that!

I wanna see old Doug grinnin' after that trip!

Hold on Chuck, I'm photocopying you a fresh $50 bill as we speak......

Well, while yer copyin'....

Chuck,

I'm sending a more substantial payment than Jimmy. Hows $500 sound?

I'm sending a check my Nigerian friend sent as payment to me. It is made out for $4500, just cash it and keep $500 for the ride fund, and send a cashiers check back to me for the $4000 balance.

Thats a good one.

I'll see Jerry's $4500 and raise another $1000.


Now, where did the kid's put that Monopoly game......?
