Let me know if you are going up Truck (or should I saw when?)...might tag along depending on when you are going.
Jeff, are you off either or both days? It doesn't really make a difference to me...I understand like most swap meets you see the most stuff on Thurs but the cheapest is on Sat. I want one day to work on the Jeep just in case I can get it running in time to take to the FCHS auto show on Sat.

dude, i already want to. I am just havnt been paid by work ontime of a full check since feb.
I start a new job on monday and will then save some coin and buy that bad boy off you! I saw a M1009 just like yours on my last AT that was lifted and wheeled like he stole it. good thing he was around to yank my ass out too!
Okay Jeff et al, I was wrong, I gotta have the missus and boy at their school at 0530 for their field trip to Philly. So we can leave when ever we want. If 0730 is still good I'm good with that. It is 110 mi from my house, so 2+ hours with morning traffic. That would put us there 10ish.
Jeb, do you want to meet at my place?
Ryan, you still thinking of going and taking the Fam?

We can jump earlier and try to squeeze past some of the traffic if you want...can just stop and grab chow if traffic gets stupid. I'll call you between now and then and we'll figure it out.

Let me know for sure.

Alright, everybody bailed, it is supposed to rain all day, but I'm headed up anyway. I got a surprise following me home.

It was very wet but there were some great vehicles and some great swap meet deals because there were not many customers. Here are some pix.

Yep, this is called a weasel. It was very cool. Driver sits right up front and engine compartment is to his right. Seats 3 in the back. Appearently these are getting more popular because someone has developed new and better track for them which was their previous pitfall. so prices are going up.

Yeah, you suck...:p
The Howitzer and anti aircraft guns were very cool. I think that would make an awesome front lawn orniment to keep the neighbors in check.
I had to stay away from the Dueces, because I know I'm gonna get bit and end up with one in my drive at some point.

I like it.
How much do they run? :D Though not like I can afford it. :D
apparently they go for 1 to 3k but the new track is about 7k which is better then no track which made them useless. If they have the new track I'm sure price will be reflected. all this is from talking to one of the guys at the show. I'm completely unfamiliar with them otherwise.
