You'll be the envy of every other kid at the meet, Rob. I'm not even there, but I envy you already.

I really liked the music you played while you loaded the cars.

Any idea on how many are registered for the run this year? Hope for safe travels and good weather!

Are you going for the full alphabet, A through S? I think you already have the most scarce. :)

Thanks guys. I’m not sure how many are attending this year. Usually we have three Model K and I know the other two aren’t going. Several friends from Canada and the eastern states won’t make it this year too.

Steve, I was as surprised as anyone when I said “yes” to being the caretaker for the B. As a result, I need to sell the F and a few others at some point.

Bottom line, no alphabet collection for me. I’m fortunate beyond my wildest dreams to get to “play” with what I have for a time.
Cheers,
Rob

Shoot! My browser didn't show me your update. Dad gummit.
Hope you had/are having safe travels.
I don't like to pester BUT is there a loose schedule for the Paynesville area?
I'd like to see you folks there.

Not sure on schedule. I know we are planning to attend a car show at the Legion next to our hotel tonight (Friday). We don’t go far on these pre-Nee London days, mostly getting cars in shape. I’ll post our “unofficial” plans later today.
