Hey Tass,
I was really thinking this wouldn't happen for me, but now my calendar is clear for the day. I'm hoping to pick up two (!) bad blocks from up in your neck of the woods and this is the perfect opportunity. Unfortunately I'll have to bring the family van to do that (my car is undergoing a tranny operation right now also) so I hope you have an area that I can park the beast that won't make the place look bad. Maybe I can park behind the barn by that '85 parts car.
If you've got room for one more I'd like to join.
What can I bring?

First the address doesn't work out right, but if you know where to look, you can see the driveway entrance. So it looks like I still have my (valued) privacy

Paintball gun set to autofire when the Google camera car is about.
There's an auto-tracking paintball gun video on the internetz somewhere.
Was cool when 2 girls flashed the Google Camera car.

Ever since the Russian IKON satellites being used for non-military purposes, most privacy was doomed. The google AND microsoft globe camera cars are just fine tuning this. Big Brother??? Maybe.
I am beginning to understand why the Knights Who Said NI! wanted more shrubberies!!

I just received a call back from a photographer at the local paper, Hampden Wilbraham Times. He plans to be at the event tomorrow.
So make sure you behave

I'm signing off and heading home to get set up. Will check in periodically.
Also, stopping on my way home to pick up a spider I had powder coated. Hopfully it will look great, it was a nice deal. Maybe others would be interested.

OUCH ! 
Actually it's my track car with the blown head gasket. I'm sure I could have limped it over to the field but I didn't want to have it do anything ugly one day before the event. At least it looks good now.
