Has anybody heard from Jay with franks car?

not yet, I don't think Frank is back from Vacation. The engine in the car was Jays engine anyway. Talk about bad luck!

    John,

  Thanks so much for trying to get it, I appreciate it. Katie is a little bummed out it cant be part of her collection!
  I guess you could not get it as Katie's name was on the form as owner  :rolleyes:. Congrats on your win, your car looked very nice.


   yea, I am really glad we got to the tire before it got us.!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Whoa that was nasty. The tread was coming off from the side closests to the car ( innerside). It was not noticeble at all.

Bob, Yes, do come out next year for the camping! you will not regret it, (well, maybe the next morning waking up cold and very damp.... but besides that.)............ you will love it! None of us will ever forget it!  And trust your roof rack, that was not the first time it was piled high, and on top of that ( no pun intended) after the tire change, I noticed Ted did not even clamp down one side of it !    f+t   .///    Maybe the xtra weight helped there!

Joe, thanks for taking the pic, hope to see it soon. and thanks for letting my use your jack, and you too Greg
"Another thing to put on the list" - right?  I dont have room for a floor jack, but do have small stands. Someone should have a floor jack next time -how is that list coming Joe?   :icon_thumright:



Just got a camera off  ebay & paid for it this afternoon.

Couple hours later Ted called me and told me  he found my camera,  - somehow my camera was with his things   @7@

Hey guys!  Just wanted to tell everyone what a great time I had camping!   (love   We should put together something like that down here...  Maybe even just our club so there are no mosh pits  .///  It was really cool that people came over to our fire and loved our scene. I gotta give props to Pat's wife Sue for remembering the marshmallows... thanks again!

It was entertaining to watch all the guys jump under Matt's car to help out and it gave me a warm and fuzzy feeling inside.
 
Mark - sorry you couldn't make it.  Hope all is well on the home front.  Guess we'll catch up with you soon! 

Yucel & I left early to visit my brother who lives up that direction and watch the Giants game with him. Sorry we didn't get to say good-bye to everyone - what a big space! (And gorgeous too!).

Definitely looking forward to next year already!!

          Got my camera back, and most of the pic.s are pretty much what was already posted.....

but did get this..............good to expand this pic.

       

             

Look at both of them, sitting is such a serene place, seemingly enjoying getting out and "away",  now off by themselves, looking maybe a little rugged, but there is a sense of contentment, even after a long tiring drive, - after the many miles traveled, they can afford to sit and relax.  ............ Well of course I'm talking about the bus and the black bug! ..............Oh yea, Jack and Joe seem to be relaxing and enjoying themselves too!


Had a really good time with everyone there!!!!!!!!!



Matt


  I think this was dinner, caught Jack and Joe eating some grub, talking about who knows what, but Jack never stopped eating for a second during the discussion. We had good food!!!!!!!!!!
