Florida Members' Meet-N-Greet at the Sumter Fairgrounds

[l1k2gadd]

Ok, it is supposed to be ver-r-r-ry foggy in the morning so everyone that is planning to come out please be careful driving to the fairgrounds.

I had to go get the dogs some food tonight so I picked up some hot dogs, relish, mustard, ketchup, soda (Pepsi, Mountain Dew, Dr. Pepper & Coca-Cola), cheese ('cause I like cheese with my hot dogs) and I filled the cooler tonight.

I picked up a pack of tiny cinnamon donuts and tiny powdered donuts in the Wal*Mart clear plastic bins too.

I picked up some styrofoam plates and forks and I will bring a roll of paper towels along too.

If anyone is wanting something else to snack on, or grill, please bring it along with you.

Everyone is welcome, so if your Bump will use too much fuel on the trip come in your Honda, or your Daewoo just to stop in and say "Hi!"

Len,

Sounds like you are ready to open a restaurant!

Let's see, what would be a good name.............

Bump-R-Burger

Chrome Pushbar & Grill

Hopefully someone can come up with something better

Anyway, I will see you all in the morning--hopefully we will see some new faces and rides in the group!!

Since I only brought chips last time (the easy way out) I figured it couldn't hurt if I picked up a few other things at the store along with the dog food.

I shop for groceries for the house once a month, or month and a half, (with the exception of bird and dog food). Since yesterday was payday, and the local wrecking yard hasn't put the '64 Comet out yet, I have some additional play money to use and what better to spend it on??

I will leave the dog food here at the house.

Wow!
What a day!
I still didn't beat L1k2gadd to the show, (I think he camped out there last night)!
A beautiful 2.5 hour drive through the country to get there, (except for the London fog as L1k2gadd warned us about). Couldn't see a couple of hundred feet in front of the one ton for about 60 miles! Some quality time spent with good Fordification friends, and a lot of vendors there at the Webster show as usual.

My best score was a brand spanking new set of Elde aluminum valve covers for the 302 in the Ranchero for 40 clams! Deals to be found everywhere!
If you missed this one, you missed another good one for sure.
Only three Fordification member in attendance was sad though!
We did pass out several Fordification cards and once again got a lot of folks interested in the website.

Several more in the below link to my photobucket.

Thank you l1k2gadd and uboughtwhat for the dawgs, (sorry if there were burnt).
And for the dozen or so sodas my young "wing-man" drank!

Thanks, young "wing-man", for taking such a great picture! I hope you enjoyed the trip, and the Meet, and hope your sprain heals fast!

The dawgs were cooked just fine, and thanks for grilling them for all of us, including the Dentside neighbor we had there too! I'm sure he had some serious ca$$$h invested in that one, eh? I don't remember hearing anything about his investment, but it sure was appealing to the eyes!

I had a great time, but I wish I hadn't spent most of the $100.00 I had brought with me before 6:30 a.m. The $5.00 digital camera find later on was a plus though.

Thanks to everyong that showed up and to those that had wished they could have! I'm sure we will have other Meet-N-Greets, somewhere, sometime in the future and I look forward to meeting more members at the next one!

If anyone finds another centrally located event that we can arrange the next meet at please do so! I'm open to making the trip, once again!

Guys,

I owe each and every one of you here in Florida a big apology!
Webster came and went this year without us all getting together?
My life took on a sudden downhill spiral that hasn't stopped yet.
Sure hope one of ya'll can pick up the ball and run with it next year.
