Nice looking forecast if turns out to be true. Last year was awesome. We will be @ #113 with some '40 parts, V8-60 speed parts, and vintage Hot Rod mags among other things,

snowmobile suit, ice scraper / brush & a tow chain. If it even gets neer 40

events in June? No such thing as spring in Masshole!! Oh forgot the biggest
thing is eye gogles for our nasty winds a blowin dirt in ya eyes.....

It looks like the pessimists can leave their boots and shovels at home, as the forecast is sunny, 55 degrees. Almost as good as last year.

That's good news. Last year was absolutely beautiful, but my first time there (can't remember the exact year) was foggy, cold, and raining. Very miserable weather.

Received an email yesterday that we have the highest pre registered vendors in a long time. If you're selling and have not reserved get there early.

Howdy Everyone. I'm getting excited to be able to score one of those beautiful designer T-Shirts and get together with some great friends. Weather forecast now up to 57 on Sunday! I'm hitching a ride and splitting expenses with my buddy JM35. For superstition, I'm packing long johns. If I bring 'em I won't need 'em. For the sun, some sun blocker. For the vendors, some dollar bills.

Happy to report VT and JM35 stopped by my dads and we had a great visit. Showed them some neat tool for measuring valves when grinding the ends for non adjustable lifters. We sat out on the deck for a bit and it was nice in the sun. Supposed to be a little warmer tomorrow.
