I think that would be the best course of action. I don't think parking at the Big E will be a problem...they are only expecting 25000 folks during the 2 day event. It will be worth the fiver to save the walking. I will be there as long as my wheels hold up...arthritis sucks!!!

OK, Boys and Girls..

Looks like the weather is going to cold but whiteless..

SHould be no excuses for not showing up..

To recap we will meet at 10am at the Arby's, which I have been told by the food oracle Sean that they are indeed open and serving breakfast at that time..

We will then drive over to the BIG E and check out the show..

It looks like I am going solo, cause my son is working.. So if there is anyone who wants to carpool let me know and we can arrange a pick up spot..

I feel offended some how!

You all can visit me at work two miles away. Then you can drool at the awesome lifted ford super duty at Sarat Ford and look at the custom Expedition too.

Sorry Ken.

No problem there will be others, unless you work every Sunday..

That is when we usually have them..

I have to say that was pretty cool. There were a couple layouts after you guys left that were even more enormous.

I could have spent all day there, if I wasn't going to Albany, then I likely would have gone back to the show after we ate at Ninety-Nine's.
