Besides Rashakor, I mean? John & I've got lots to do here in the woods, so if you guys aren't going to show up, we'll wait a little longer to drive in Sunday.

Pappa's BBQ is tempting, and a chance to see everyone would be high on the "to-do" list.

Post here if you think you'll attend.

Hmmm.......On a Sunday, the earliest I could get there is 1:00P. If some folks are going to be there toward the tail end of the show, we could meet and I would think the trip was worthwhile. However, it would be disappointing to drive all the way over there and find out that everyone had left already.

Maybe we could gander at each others' cars and eat a little BBQ afterwards to get out of the heat. (Besides, I want to show off my modified suspension.) Is anyone going to be there on the later side?

We have church stuff on Sundays so I won't be able to make that one.
I can fudge a Sunday if it were say a Winsborough weekend, but probably not for that event......

Under normal circumstances, later would be better for us, too, so setting our arrival for 1:00 would be fine. And I'm desperately jealous of your modified suspension -- we haven't yet had tome to hook up with Max to get ours taken care of.

However, these are not "normal circumstances." John re-injured his shoulder pretty badly a couple of days ago, and that has thrown our schedule for several loops. Not that he's more than walking wounded, but there are things he can't do now that won't wait, so those jobs are falling to me, and whether I'll get all done in time will be the trick! I'm waiting to see how John's feeling -- and to get some word from his doc, which will be forthcoming tomorrow -- to figure out when or if we'll be there.

I'll keep you posted. I did check with the local MBCA pres who said all MBs are welcome, fancy or not, and other cars are welcome, too, though MBs are preferred, of course!
