Not me..  Got home mid-day today after " Doing a Dave" at Des Moines on Friday... :cry:  :cry:  :oops:  :oops:  

Ok..Here's the scoop...We arrived in the area Thursday pm as we normally do, hit the fairgrounds at 8 am on Friday..( Been doing this a lot at bigger shows..Makes walking the vendor area's MUCH easier..), found a neat parking space & put up the cabana for shade...No wind..Sheltered area.. Saw no need to put cabana stakes into the ground...Spent Friday am using the same policy I used at Indy...Walk carefully for 45 min or so..then sit for an hour or so...Worked great at Indy & was working well at Des Moines also.. About 12ish we were sitting having lunch under the cabana when the thing raised about 6 inchs..came back down & then LAUNCHED...   Without thinking I grabbed for it..kept one side down but it was flyin'...My only concern was the cars parked around us so I sorta...well I kinda ...I TACKLED the dumb thing  :!: It must not have been pretty as the lady owner of the NICE car about 6" away from my still flapping cabana came running over screaming " Are you all right?? Do you need an ambulance??? My wife said that I told her something to the effect of " I can be fixed---grab the %^&&*(*^$  tent ":!:  :!:  :!:
Some folks from other cars gave us a hand getting the thing upright & back to where we had placed it..this time NAILED DOWN..  One of the guys told me it was the "best running tackle I've ever seen on an EZ-up...Ever think of going pro? "....Another said he wished he had his camcorder running as it would have been a guaranteed winner on AFV for sure...
Anyhow....The important parts.....

A..No cars were injured or mistreated during this "adventure"....
B..I somehow did all of this & still was holding on to my samich...  :?
C..I never spilled my drink  :!:  :!:   ( Dave would be sooo proud..   )


As for me...well...I can be fixed...again... :oops:  :oops:  :oops:

( My wife advised me I'll prolly be the one on roller skates & a rope at K-Zoo...She plans to treat me as a "pull-toy"    :oops: ) .

LMAO    

flying tackle on an EZ-UP, now that's some funny stuff

never spilled the adult beverage, thats coordination in action

Vance

p.s. guess we better lighten up on 'ole Fife, hes getting a bit cranky

[Charlie Chops 1940]

Not looking good for the Chopper to attend. Too many life issues getting in front of fun issues....

Won't be making Bonneville this year either. I'm gonna have an empty place in my heart this summer.

Denise - have a great time, say hi to the gand from me.

I will be in Columbus this weekend selling at the Goodguys swap and the same for Nats North in Seprtember. Culling the herd so to speak.

Well, The biggest reason I asked, is to plan what to bring with the trailer. I think this year we will just do lunches, and maybe a brakfast or two if the interest is there. There just seems to be too much going on for dinner any more.

I can't say we'll be in the same spot, but we will be in the same area.

[Roadstar]

Me and Cindy hope to be there Frank.

[Rayvyn]

I'll be there with bells on, and any meal is fine with me as long as Kenny cooks it. Oh wait, I have to go...The room is in my name...

Will this be the first Nats that Team Smart doesn't have a representative at?  How will we all survive... :?:  

[phat rat]

Bells? I hope your not wearing pink with them!

[Rayvyn]

Bells? I hope your not wearing pink with them!

Come on down and find out, you Stud you...  

[Dave]

Will this be the first Nats that Team Smart doesn't have a representative at?  How will we all survive... :?:  

Thats a pretty lame attemt to get inducted into T/S ... If you really want the team represented I would think you lean more towards smart thinking and a few creative ideas. Those are the things were looking for for our members. ...
I know its possible. You have a few brain cells that currently work  
You could be the Louisville rep while your there and look for other possible members..
Dave
Ill be watching and im sure Vance will too

Looks like the Team Smart representative  from Texas will not be in attendance.
however, I'm sure the rest of you will carry on in a fashion that represents the RRT, and Team Smart well.  

take lots of pictures, please

See Jim...That's how it works.....You've been a member for what, 2 hours or so :?:  :?:  Already we're forgotten...... :cry:  :cry:  :cry:  :cry:    

[Nick32Vic]

We'll be there! Cant wait! I think we are bringing my 32 and the "Cockroach" and leaving my dads car at home.

Theres gonna be alot of regulars not attending which is kinda gonna suck but it will still be fun. I have a feeling attendance is gonna be way down this year.
