Hello Everyone,
Made it home today with an even fuller trailer than what is was leaving the show. Dick helped by pulling my trailer with his truck from Flagstaff AZ to my home in Ca. He noticed my 302 was straining pulling all the extra weight. His truck pulled that lead sled up the hills with ease!
Thanks again Dick!
It was an awesome show IMO. I sat down and spoke with Ron about changing the dates to a cooler month and he explained to me that he has tried but could not because doing so would conflict with the hotels other event weekends and also other gas shows. He told me that we had 156 venders this year including inside venders.

I'm not sure who had the Signal sign, but when I stoped to see it, he said it just sold for $9500.

Wasn't quite enough weight on Rob's trailer, so WE picked a Wayne 60 Narrow w/ guts less than 100 miles of home. We're stopped at a fruit stand when a junky drives up & asked IF WE Buy pumps. I replied No, we like hauling them around to waste gas!

Jason ,
It is cheaper for me to just send you photo's of the trailer full than driving up to Fred's LOL
Picked up a cool Sharmeter cashrecorder barn fresh on the way to Iowa. It was a great trip!

Rob,

It's cheaper for me if you drive up to Fred's. We'll maybe not. LOL. Plus I have to give you that moving blanket back, that is worth the drive right there. Send me some pictures of your finds, for sale and not for sale. I enjoy seeing what you pick up out there.
