I'd love to have my park/indicators done in time, but I won't. It'll be hard enough having it washed with the way my work schedule is.

I did the mpg stuff today...topped fluids, cleaned air filter, and throttle body. No one will see, but will hopefully make the trip easier in the truck and wallet.

I'm going to be buying the burger patties there locally. I don't want to have to worry about transporting them, and that way I can also make sure to get an accurate head count and not buy too many (or too few!).

i wont have a choice :rotfl:

the way our buns get delivered are 60 per tray... so I always just bring a tray and give the rest to the birds or something like that lol...

my vacation officially started today.. I don't go back to work until June 5th... so now I can concentrate on the beaSSt and get her all dialed in.. I still gotta wash her, claybar, and seal her up for the long trip...

I'm going to bring 2 packs of hotdogs and buns. I will also bring 2 boxes of burger patties to go with Boricua SS buns. There is a change of rain, so I will also bring a pop up canopy.

If anyone has any favors to the nice weather gods, Might want to start phoning them in now...

The weathermen have been getting better around here. So I trust them. I mean they called for thunderstorms all day today and we already had two 10 second downpours today. Getting better I tell you.

the place martin purposed is 95th & wolf rd, looking at the map, right below maple lake, leading to the east, is a park way. this is where the meet will be. we've had many meets near here and never had a problem with the number of people there, if joe can get a permit that's fine though.

ED or Martin, just to clarify, this is farther west by about 1/2 mi or so from the the original Cranberry Slough that I checked out?

Checked the weather report again and it is down to a 40% chance of scattered storms, and the high is 79 now instead of 80s. Looking up perhaps.

so are there any spray booths or car washes close to the hotel or the park so we can clean the rides off when it rains Friday night? This will be the first time since the Columbus meet last year that the beaSSt will see any rain :rotfl: (got caught in a big storm coming home)

hotel is on 79th st., RT 83 (kingery hwy) appears to be the route to the meet.
there is a shell station north of 75th st on rt 83
there are 3 south on rt 83 just past 91st st (on the way to meet) they appear to be full service washes.
take your pick.
carwashes in 60527 - Bing

any idea yet when you will be departing hotel?
i'll be comming up I-55 to RT 83 to get to the meet. i will be close to hotel and could possibly meet @ hotel to caravan to meet w/ you guys.
