Default Big day tomorrow, Hershey 2009!!!

The weather looks great. For those of you attending dinner tomorrow I'll be your entertainment provider so you can look forward to a 968 slideshow and a full powerpoint presentation on the registrys. In lu of a tech quiz there are many questions for the audience in my presentation so be prepared. See you soon.

Current round of funerals are all out of the way and I was planning on slipping up early Saturday morning to join the caravan from the hotel but now I have pneumonia. Is 2009 over yet?

Jeff, having enjoyed your teaser 'presentation' earlier this year I'm sure you're going to be very well received tomorrow. Break a leg, bud!

The weather was perfect. I managed to pickup new side rocker moldings, cleaning products, a much-needed front grill and a stereo to replace the tired Blaupunkt ... couldn't have asked for a better day.

tha parking guy said I had to pay an extra $20 to move my car over to the 968 area. I already paid $10, so I decided to spend the $20 on a new radio for my car (thanks Smokie!). I spent an hour looking at everyone's 968's and my car would have looked like a giant turd parked next to you guys! Your car looked awesome as did all the others. Steve's, Raj's, and Dino's cars were amazing, and Jeff's mint green cab was the star of the stable IMO. I would've definitely been the "worst of show".

Stew, thank you for the compliment. It was a pleasure to meet you all.

Here are a few pictures from the Show. The Stars of the Show Jeff's Mint green Cab (took 1st place) and Pete's White Firehawk (took 3rd place).
