AS the Captain on Spongebob show says...Are you ready kids?!!

 

Pat, doesn't look like we can get it done. I've been down sick since Saturday afternoon. Did the roadeo yesterday only because I was the only one who knew how to set it up and then thankfully my son was with me so he had to drive me home. Went to work this afternoon for a couple of hours, will be heading to Michigan tomorrow afternoon and won't get back until Wed. evening and I am busy on Thursday evening so the only day I have left before the run is Friday.

 

Steve, you lucky devil, I am taking Friday off from work to clean my baby anad do a bit of work to it, so if you want to come over, give me a call...we can get this done!!! Pizza, if I was more ready you would have to super glue me to a chair to get me to stop moving...even the weather forecast is playing along !!!

 

When you guys get time you can go to the gallery and under scaleguy I just posted some pics of most of the door prizes and goodie bag stuff, I have a few pics that still haven't be downloaded from the camera, I will get those tonight...

 

Even if this turned out to be a bad weekend for me, I would support the Dells next year...

HINT....Hint

 

Okay Toms you get the first site selection for '07, we will be having the first run meeting for '07 at the '06 run and I will bring your suggestion there...

 

Toms has suggested the Dells for next year's run. Great idea, how about others I know that the resort areas of Missouri were suggested for the first run, are any of the southern riders interested in tryting to put something on there? Hey you western guys, how about it, got any cool places that you are willing to suggest. I would like to see something different, than Peoria for next year, kinda' resort like more fun stuff. I still want to be involved and will doeverything that I can to help, but let's have more ideas. Post them here or bring them to the meeting at the run...

 

I have a great idea for 07, I will save for discussion at the 06 event. I think it is more important that we have an eventfull and memorable 06 event first.
See you all Saturday!!!!

 

Well this might work out, but I have to play it one day at a time. My wife's aunt died and the funeral may be Friday so it depends on whether it is then and/or when it is over. I'm in Michigan right now and should be leaving here around 230, hope to be home by 630 so I don't know if i'll make tonight (Metamora) or not. If it looks like I can make it tonight, i'll give you a call, otherwise go ahead without me. I don't know if i'll be able to get back on the web again until tonight. If you want to call me, i'll PM you my cell phone number.

 

Kind of appropriate my 500th post is the first updtae after the Mid-Central Regional...WOW!!! I met some of the greatest people that any one could ever hope for...Everyone was fanatstic !!! I will let you decide for yourselves after reading the posts that will follow in the next few days, but in my opinon we had a monsterous success, 15 HHRs, including our special guest "Driftwood"(thanks to Black Beauty..aka The Chitown Hustler)...Yeshua and his wife did very well in the trophy department, between them they managed to go one and two in their class and Mike won Peoples' Choice while Bonnie won Best of Show. Our sponsors came through with nice door prizes, the goodie bags were great and our pot luck was delicious...eventhough there was a gumbo sighting all over the interior of my HHR (story to follow later). The cruise was simply "off the hook" We rolled into the Morton cruise with 12 HHRs and had everyone's attention, parked all the way down one city block and walked around checking out some very nice rides...the HHRs were busy being photographed and drew a lot of attention...you just can't leave those HHRs alone for one minute !!! We made one more pass through their parade area then headed out for Metamora, the ride was great, it was so cool to look in my mirror and see an unbroken line of HHRs stretching back behind me. The locals were busy watching us and they were obviously enjoying what they were seeing. We rolled into Didley's burger joint and the place was packed and the reaction to all of the people there was fantastic Me, Yeshua and Black Beauty even ambushed a new HHR owner and her family (her husband was driving but he said it was hers so I gotta' call them like I see them), hooking them up with the forum information, more information than they were even ready for concerning their HHR and we even gave them a goodie bag, (I had a few extras...) We had more food and just sat around talking like we had all been together for years and by the time we started to wind down and make our way back to our homes, it was 9:00pm with some of the people facing 3 hour drives if they weren't staying the night. The forum will see tons of pics in the next days or and I willl put together a full report so kep an eye out for the news...Thanks to ChevyHHR.net for bringing this group together and for allowing us such a great forum to base all of these new friendships on and to everyone who attended the run...THANK YOU !!! it was the most fun that I have ever had at an automotive event...in my life !!! Oh and fear not there will be an '07 run, we started planning as soon as the '06 was in the books...needless to say you might want to kep track of the information because judging by the way '06 went you might not want to miss '07!!!
