Wow, it is going to be a little toasty at the meet. The forecast suggests tempuratures in the mid 90s all weekend. http://www.weatherforyou.com/weather/oregon/the+dalles.html

Yikes! I'm about 19-20 mpg on the highway (US gallons).

Hey Dave, we'd love to have you. Is it the drag tires on the roof that slow you down?

Have a safe drive Dave and Red, See you Thursday.

It's been a busy few days chatting with the restaurant and hotel to get the last few items straight. I'll be needing a stiff drink when I get to Oregon on Thursday!

I sent everyone who has confirmed they are coming to the meet an email or PM regarding the banquet dinner. This is important so if you did not receive it, please send me a PM. Thanks! Aaron

If you don't get it in the mail, give it to me at the meet. That is sufficient

Hey Mark. I sure hope you can get Friday off and make it to the meet.

You are not too late Mark.

Prime rib and Lasagna it is

I was afraid to look but I finally did it. Here is the weather forecast: http://www.weatherforyou.com/weather/oregon/the+dalles.html At this point, the forecast only goes until Friday but it looks good. Sunny and 89 degrees.

You and mark got some good experiance with those at the 2006 meet.

I'd love to see what the 571 4-speed would do at the track.

I just did a road trip in my 70 in July and it ran pretty well but I decided to change filters and check settings. Put in a new fuel filer, new air filter, new breather filter, adjusted dwell and adjusted timing. I checked everything over relly well too and it appears to be good to go. It's not as clean as it used to be and could use some touch ups here and there but I don't have the time I used to devote to the car. Just going to enjoy the drive and the meet.

OK, I got an update on the banquet situation. Forget what I said above. We actually choose from the buffet menu, not the regular menu if we want the banquet room. We get the banquet room from 6pm to 10pm Saturday if we go with the buffet menu. This will be perfect for handing out awards and door prizes at the meet. We cannot just order off the menu if we use the banquet room. We can choose two of the plated entrees for the size of our group. The choices are as follows: PLATED ENTREES All Plated Entrees include Tossed Green Salad with House Dressing, Coffee and Tea, plus choice of Apple Crisp (a la mode add $2.00) or Chocolate Mousse. Traditional Roast Turkey $18.99 Tender Roasted Turkey with Herb Stuffing and Cranberry Sauce, Mashed Potatoes and Gravy, Vegetable and Baked Homemade Roll. Sliced Prime Rib of Beef $27.99 Prepared Medium with choice of Potato (Roasted Red Potatoes or Mashed), Vegetable and Baked Homemade Roll. Chef’s Baked Salmon $21.99 Served with Seasoned Rice Pilaf, Vegetable and Freshly Baked Homemade Roll. Vegetarian Lasagna $17.99 The Chef’s Meatless Marinara Sauce with combination of Cheeses and Vegetables served with Homemade Garlic Bread. I'm thinking we just get the prime rib and lasagna as the two choices and that should please most people. The prices include salad, coffee/tea and desert too. If $27 seems a little too steep for the prime rib, we could do the Turkey instead. Let me know what you think.

I'm watching the movie Crazy People (1990) so I know what to expect when I meet you...

The page number will differ depending on the person's board settings. There is a glimmer of hope that Adrian is coming but it's not 100% yet. There are a few others that were very excited to attend the meet months ago but I have not heard anything recently so I did not include them as confirmed above. More may still show up.

I don't believe Adrian is 100% confirmed... only 99.6%

6 days until I arrive in The Dalles. The excitement is so hard to put into words...

Don't forget the extra hose clamps Vaughn...

I thought the same thing when I first saw it. I thought "This can't be right" LOL.
