I don't have any more money!
That is what your get when you GIVE away parts! And that GOES double for letting Craig tease me!
LOL!
Actually, that was a statement for the General.
Because I didn't pre-register, she kept tracking me down with her hand held out. Sheese! 
It was pretty funny on the 2nd day. Michelle and I should have pre-registered. But I was working 2 full time jobs and didn't think we'd be able to make it.that is EVEN FUNNIER! I was a non paid entry as well. I had to barrow a dollar from Troy for my lunch and made my passenger buy his own!

The General wore many hats during the planning and execution of this event . . . CFO and 'enforcer' were two of them . . .
If you ever need $$$$ collected from someone, you know where to find me - I'm STILL finding money stuffed in the pockets of various outfits I wore throughout the weekend.
For those of you who said "I'll send you a check early next week" remember - I know who you are, I know where you live, and I will hunt you down . . . .
BTW, how many posts does it take before you become a post whore?

Being a post whore is an art
More about you average posts per day. I'd say if you average 4 or more a day you qualify.

Well Jon, we all know that you're not a post whore.
.....and the sun never shines in Seattle.
If I'm not a post whore would I be a post pimp? So what would that entail?

Hey this is my first chance to post since I left on Sunday.
I want to thank Greenie and Janet, for the excelent weekend. All was well planed and organized ( except for the idiot who led us from Pt Gamble to Bainbridge ).
It was great to meet all the local members and teeners who live the 914 lifestyle.
Thanks Troy, Kevin, and all the other folks who I had to relearn their names each day because of the keg.
I do have some pictures to post but I think the ones that are posted spell it out.
When I get back from Florida( it sucks, Hot and rainy ) I'll review my Video and see if any is worth posting.
Thanks again everyone for all the complements on my car,
I don't think Greenie should retire as an organizer, a promotion is in order.
I will see you all sooner than later,
Tony

You gettin' a new car? Eric just called and said yours was still available. I'm sending a money order in the morning!
I can't wait - I need a good track/driver dual purpose car!
I think my favorite photo was the one I took of the asian girls who stopped to take picture of the cars when we were at the Whistle stop.

Sorry about all the trouble. If it makes any difference the WCR was a complete bust. Nobody enjoyed themselves at all. The ride to Ranier was long and boring and I'm told the ferry almost sank and scared the hell out of everyone. The food was lousy and so was the hotel. Half the group was arrested for drunk and disorderly one of the guys was arrested for swimming naked in the pool. The Issawhatsit police were giving out nasty looks to everyone. One of us was even given a speeding ticket (a story that has yet to be finished) immediately upon entering the state of Washington. I myself was forced to drive through the Mt. Hood National Forest!! Nothing but curvy roads, huge pine trees, blue sky, and SNOW. I had to deal with snow in July!! Can you imagine? It was horrible. Because of the fires in California, I was forced to drive up the coastline of California and Oregon, adding literally hours to my trip up there. Nothing to look at but more big green trees and ocean. What a bore! Why your problems PALE in comparison to what we had to indure on the WCR. Count your blessings you weren't there.

How come no mention of Sir Andys food posioning?

Andy always looks that way. I figured he was fine.
I got home late tuesday night. Put just over 2000 miles on the Zonker. Goofed off all day yesterday and finally got around to re-sizing some pics today.
"Hey mister, your car is leeking water"!!
"Hey mister, your car is leeking water"!!
V 8 POWER VROOOM VROOOM
VERY nicely done Buick V6.
Pills to bring up the blood suger level.
Sir Andy consulting with his navigator, driving adviser and I'm told sometime girlfriend
Grasshopper. "OK I'm ready, c'mon, let's go, c'mon, c'mon, I'm ready to go"!!
Snow! In July! What? Are you shitin me?
Fantastic view of the valley.

I had to admit that when I heard just how bad WCR was this year, that pile of toasted appliances and electronic devices by my basement door suddenly looked small and insignificant. I felt selfish for bringing it up. I have to thank Elliot for bringing perspective to my point of view. I feel so sorry for those of you who had to go. Perhaps an online support group? It helps when you know others have suffered as you have. I watched Andy's video and I have to admit once you have seen a tree you pretty much have it down... The ocean? It's all wet.
I can hear it now... "hi, umm a... my name is Curt and I went to WCR in Seattle." Hi Curt! "I thought it would be fun but there wasn't any of the famous Northwest rain showers." Oh Curt, we hear you! "At last years WCR someone almost got arrested and they got kicked out of the hotel, This year all we could manage was a speeding ticket." Sounds boring Curt! "I love you guys. I feel so much better now that I have shared." We care Curt! We have been there too! Group Hug!!!
Great time! Where else can you go and someone hands you the keys to his 6 cylinder and says "have fun"? Thanks Jon and thanks to "those guys" that arranged it. I took two days of hell getting back to GA. We spent Sunday night in O'hare and finally ended up in Greenville SC and got a rental car. The glamour of aviation! Now GrasshopperJr can get back to his love life.
It was my pleasure. 
I hope my car was all you could ask for
