Went for an awesome ride in a 1929 Ford Tri Motor today.

Wow! Getting to ride in a Ford Tri-Motor would have been awesome!
So it is the final exam eh? I knew we should have made it a simple test. Actually it would not matter if members arrived at a GTG in a Prius as this is a Ford Truck Enthusiast site, however, enthusiasts of one make of vehicle usually have at least one vehicle of that make. Unless of course they are in high school, and papa or grandpa hasn't given them the old farm truck yet. At least we are not alone in the apathy department. Conversing with other chapter leaders recently about this and pretty much all the chapters are going through a "slow" period. So I guess I'll just have to live with it. I will make one change though, instead of approving everyone who wants to be a chapter member, I will check to see how many posts they have on FTE first, and if it is under 25, I'll tell them to wait.

We were part of an old car club event so we didn't go through the website. You have to go down to one of the event days and pay and sign wavers. Looks like they're going to work their way across Nor Cal over the next month or so.

And since it's a Ford Truck site... a nice old Roadster Pickup. LOVE them.

I know we don't have many get togethers, but that is my fault as I really don't want to organize one that I cannot attend myself. Once I get my back pay from SSDI I will buy a Ford vehicle and start organizing some. However, we can still BS in our forums until then.
