First off l want to thank everyone for making Cindy feel so welcome and the nice comments made to me about her, she is great and I know she enjoyed meeting all of you people as well.

Well I know I didn't get my hands too dirty doing much work, but had a great time hanging out with everyone and it was nice to meet a couple of members I hadn't met, Sir stude(Doug) defenatly got in there and got his hands dirty, making up for missing the original build I guess Seriously a great guy, and EMS Junky thanks for bringing the grand daughter  Holding the baby really made CIndys day, she was starting to get a little bored I think.

Brian gets the worker of the day award for all his cutting and grinding getting the old burners out and getting the area ready for the new kick * Cast iron burners, not like this bbq didn't already rock, but now it will be unmatched in Rod run purpose built BBQ trailers. Like we have any Competition anyway hahhaha.

A huge thanks to Frank for hosting and Cheryl and the family for the great eats at the end of the day. YOu people are first class folks and  always go way out of your way for other people, I can't say enough about your hospitality at your house, in the garage or at a rodrun. I couldn't begin to thank you enough for what you do.

We look forward to hanging out this summer with everyone, defiantly a special group of hotrod friends, with a big emphasis on the friends part.

Dave, thanks for the pic. That is a cool one. I'm gonna save it myself. Everyone, thanks for the week-end it was a ball. To those I hadn't met before it was a pleasure, to those old friends, nice to get together again and BS.  I think Dave that your exercise regime got a real workout Sat, my understanding this morning was that you were rather tired from all the lifting. LOL  I hope it's not too long before pics of your great suprise show up on the net.  After I left Auburn, I two laned it home for a good share of the way. Got home just before 6 and good women that she is my wife had supper ready when I arrived. She knew I would be home by 6 as I had called her earlier to let her know.

Wow! What a weekend, the Ford museum, the ACD museum, a dinner at Denise's and a party BBQ build at Frank's, I'm tired.
A great big thanks to Denise for a fantastic dinner, yum yum.
Another great big thanks to Frank and Cheryl for their hospitality and fun times.
     

[oldbobsign]

Wow!  What a weekend!  Starting with a WONDERFUL dinner at Denise's on Friday night, thanks sweetheart!  It was really great to see everyone I met at the K'zoo swap meet and to add some new names to my growing buddy list.  Debb and Rob, you guys are the best - thanks for the honor of being able to lay a few lines down for you.  Debb, you and Bry (we gotta talk more music next time) have got what it takes, please keep at it!  Doug, you sir are an inspiration.  Charlie and Ken - I could listen to your stories forever and thanks for listening to a couple of mine.  Joe, I gotta pick your brain for the automotive history you have stored there.  Nice seeing Frank III again.

Frank and Cheryl - thanks for the hospitality on Saturday and for the tour of the buildings, your stash is mind-boggling!  It was cool talking orange Deuces with Frank.  Also fun catching up with Jack and checking out Herb Martinez's work on his dash again.  Good to gab with Dave and finally meet Sue.  Nice also to see Rudy again and meet Cindy.  Rudy, I just heard you are a guitarist, we gotta talk more music next time, too.  Vance, it was great to meet you, sir.

I had to be back in Illinois for my daughter's bridal shower today but I'd like to hear how the ADC museum trip went.  There never seems to be enough time to do everything but spending quality time with you folks was beyond impressive - thanks so much!

Great weekend with a bunch of great pals. OBT and I enjoyed the Ford Museum after a looong absence - close to 20 years for both of us.

Denise - thanks for hosting a really fun & relaxed dinner. It was wonderful. Good to see all the gang there, and of course it's always great to share our car life stories. Larry - good to see you. What are the chances of running into another  Amphitheater indoor drags alumni anyway? After 45 years or so?

Frank & Cheryl (and Fat Cat and Miss Kitty) thanks for a wonderful day of our usual antics and a nice meal shared with friends - what more could we ask for? One of the biggest crowds we ever had for BBQ maintenence - not that I did much - for which I feel duly guilty. Thanks Rudy for the tips on the windsplit construction on the '40 windshield - and next time I come to "the City" I want to see the Corvette shop for sure.

The ACD Museum was a really neat place filled with  some of the best examples of luxery cars of the early 30's. And even though there wasn't a '32 Ford in sight I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. With Rob's Knoledge of the cars and the museum I felt like I had a guided tour.

All in all it was a dandy weekend - actually just 3 more Saturdays - but it sure got me primed for summer.
