Hey Don,
             Lucky you! I am working on the "Honey-Do" list and getting everything ready for winter here. Too much work and not enough play for this boy. Retirement is looking better and better to me!

Post some pics if you can?

Yes, it's thursday. I believe the attendamce was actually up. The grounds were overflowing, and there were too many people at the awards for the room in the stands.

They have changed a lot there, new building, new paving, new water and electric hookups. The horse track is gone, and the infield is raised up the the same height as the stands.

With the new hall there was plenty of room for aisles, not all crowded in now.

We really had a good time. It was nice to see everyone again and to meet some new folks. The facility is really nice as well-and a great swapmeet. After 20 years on the road, I used the rod repair shop for the first time. Those guys really helped us out. We did better on the MPG coming home but still only had a best of 12.5 mpg. I look forward to coming back to KZOO. Sam(//)

As has already been said Kzoo was a great time. Most of the usual suspects were there. Got to meet the "Junk" Brothers. Kenney and Co. did their usual fabulous job keeping us fed.

Already looking forward to next year....

Does that mean you are homeless? Did the buy the shop too? I could store one of your cars. I haven't had anything to tear up for a while. :lol: My car is still for sale but you would have to bring your trailer for it. :lol:
 Sorry about Denise's mom....

Hi Mike....Hope you're doing well! They did not buy the extra lot and shop....but....I still have 2 families worth of junk in there from them  being displaced by the flood. I'm hoping they can be back in their homes in the next few weeks so I can have my shop back! The Mother-in-law had suffered the last dozen years or so from Alzheimers and had been in the nursing home the past 10 years or so......It was a blessing that she finally went to see Jesus! I bought the lot directly across the street to the North of the shop......I'll have to walk across the street instead of across the extra lot.Got the hole dug,footings in and the fellows are going to start setting the wall pans in the morning.....should have a basement by Monday!
