Aldon 4,827 #55 Posted September 9, 2015 Hopefully this becomes an annual event as it appears more and more likely I will have to miss this it this time around. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bert 760 #56 Posted September 9, 2015 (edited) Hopefully this becomes an annual event as it appears more and more likely I will have to miss this it this time around. sorry to hear this, But I understand how difficult it is to travel for events. Our goal is a spring and fall gathering every year if there is enough interest.........keep in touch and if you'd like we could attempt to plan a spring meet n greet that fits your calendar as well as others Edited September 9, 2015 by Bert 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JPWH 6,092 #58 Posted September 9, 2015 I was all set to attend but I couldn't convince my wife it would be as much fun as a week at the beach. We always take the week of the 9th for our anniversary. Sorry to have to miss this event. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vinceo 34 #59 Posted September 9, 2015 Hank I tend to be the court jester at many events. Weather people are picking on me, or a joke being played on me or me playing one on them. Tell her you gotta see it! Also tell her if shes comes Ill lay by the pool and let her push me in, that would be the same as watching green peace saving a whale! Lmao im looking forward to this! I know the guys at work are too!The last one was our shop stupervisor bought a c model from another guy in the shop. It has a nos eng on it, maybe 5 hrs of run time on it. His dad was coming up to look at it so at lunch I sprayed a half a can of wd 40 down the muffler! You should have seen his face when he started it for his dad! Oh Im so bad! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wheel-N-It 2,969 #66 Posted September 29, 2015 Gang, I just checked the weather forcast for Rutherfordton and it looks like the rain chances are 80% for Saturday and 70% for Sunday. This is preceded by rain all week and more expected rain on Monday.Bert and Linder, are you thinking of maybe moving the date of the meet and greet to later in the month when it is hopefully drier and not raining? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ponder 9 #68 Posted September 30, 2015 Due to the tremendous amount of precipitation headed this way over the next several days, I think it would be a wise decision to postpone it to a later/drier date. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good idea to wait until Thursday, but I just checked the weather again and the forcast is Friday Rain 80%, Saturday Rain 100%, Sunday Rain 90%.

953 nut 55,765 #72 Posted September 30, 2015 Looks like Hurricane Joaquin is planning on raining on our parade. Weekend of the 17th may be an alternative, Apple Country Antique T&E show is the following weekend and we are out of town the following two weekends. Also, Daylight savings time ends in early November. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vinceo 34 #73 Posted September 30, 2015 Bert, I feel your pain setting up something only to have Mother Nature show her hand! On another note I will not be able to attend this event. Long story short, some side effects from moms meds are playing hell on her kidneys and i dont want to be far from her. Shes been in the hosp 3 times in the last 2 weeks. I was so looking towards this, but mom comes first. Now some of of my coworkers are going. Heads up, if the big fat guy with a corvare shows up, he likes to buy stuff! Hehehe, sucker! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rtfbg 744 #74 Posted October 1, 2015 In case you guys are not familiar with huricane verbaige, the "cone' shape area showing the storm path is called the "Cone of Uncertainty" basically, the storm could track anywhere in that cone. It's center track is their best guess, the edges are their WAGs basically. This is the years biggest storm in the Atlantic. Don't take it lightly if you are near the cone. PLUS remember, this storm is currently 400 miles wide!!! Even if you're not in the cone you may still feel effects!! Here's a pic that shows the current size, if placed over Florida, ot covers the entire state!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
