I've received emails, txts, FB messages, and good 'ole verbal conversations. (I don't remember exactly who's in & who's out)
Just trying to get an idea who's coming, so we can get a car count.
 
Gracie is IN....(hoping to have oil pan replaced this week prior to Saturday...Moroso pan came today) Wolfgang to perform the tasks...very tiny drip on weld of the pan back... but hate any oil leaks... push to shove could drive it anyway, not big deal....
 
It's my birthday, not spending it with you knuckleheads :p :D Have fun all!
 
Get your conversations going with the WEATHER GODS.....Saturday is ??????...a lot can change in 5 days....NO RAIN PLEASE....NO RAIN PLEASE....NO RAIN PLEASE.... oh almost forgot...Happy Birthday Tim....you knucklehead...
 
Mark, you put together a nice cruise. If weather doesn't cooperate for Saturday then we'll have to reschedule the trip for another weekend...minus the Festival!

Barbara is IN...if weather seems to be ok (this applies to me as well)... she also wants to know what ladies would be going? If weather is not in our favor, would be a disappointment.
 
Mark “our leader” so Barbie wants to know WHAT GALS ARE COMING? I said: Ann, Teresa, Cindy, Barbie, who am I missing? Who are the drivers: Mark, Paul, Ian, Rich, Tony, Mike.....missing anyone...?
 
Sounds about right Ian. except Ann can't join, she's playing Wedding Planner for her boss' son's wedding on Saturday. I asked, she can't get out of it.The rest sound correct.

Anyone else want to join us?

Leaving LSL at 7:30? Are you stopping for breakfast?? The welcome center is less than a 45 minute drive. ;):)
 
Mark said be ready to roll sharp at 9am...so no rushing and Barbie hates 270 when “lead foot” is driving ��... get there fuel up, and await the others...you stopping for breakfast?....maybe Welcome Ctr has coffee? See you buddy...
 
I checked Weatherchannel for the Welcome Center and it shows 71* @ 9am and clear all morning, Springfield shows rain until 9am, but clear after that, partly sunny and 76* at noon. If anyone has more accurate weather, I'm open to all input.
I'm good to go and looking forward to this drive. Fingers crossed my GPS guides us true, if not, we have our resident expert traveling with us.

I plan to be at the Welcome Center by 8:30, I'll fill up across the street @ MotoMart and grab a coffee & Bear Claw.
Make sure to prepare and pack for rain, That's a good way to ensure that it doesn't happen.
I applied RainX and didn't wash or wax my car, that should cinch it! (If I waxed it, it would surely rain!)
