HEY!! I'll be there sometime Friday around lunchtime I presume. There will be a caravan of us headed that way. The Jumpers and The Coopers from Oklahoma will be spending the night here Thursday night. Rod Tickle from Australia will already be here. (He comes in Monday around lunch to the New Orleans airport.) So watch out sometime Friday as we ain't coming to sit around and watch!! Also, anyone that is coming through this way on the way to the meet is welcome to come here Thursday night for a little Pre-Duck Soup. We'll have some snacks and even some real food. So if you wanna drop by give me a call or email between now and then so I can get an idea of how many to expect. Things will kick off around 7-7:30. RSVP and BYOB. If you need to spend the night bring your sleeping bag, etc. I have plenty of floor space available. Hope to see you guys at the meet. R.T. P.S. My girlfriend and her kids might drop in Saturday, so that just adds to the soup!!

The wife gave me the boot!! I'll be there today about dinnertime.
We plan to leave Fergus sometime Tuesday and head south to Detroit. From there, it's on to Toledo, Cincinnati, Nashville and McCalla. Gotta find all my Bubbawear.
The wife and I shall be departing East Utica at approximately 1:00 PM sharp.
The map says it is a 5 hour drive, but the Buick is still in the shop from the water damage, so we will be cruising in the Meatwagon. Lord willing and the creeks don't rise... we should be there before Saturday morning.
BTW I hope the mystery guest IS John Byrd.

Pat,
Robert and I are planning to leave around noon Thurs. and arrive sometime Thurs. night (I think it's a 10-11 hr. drive).
However, we are holding our breath. My parents have a 12 ft wide 2ft deep hole that opened up 15 feet from there house. City is filling it tomorrow. Doing a lot of close monitoring to make sure it isn't a big sink hole in progress!!
