I will be the one in Salem..
Also Convoys need to know we will wait for a certain amount of time then we go on. If they are late they need to head to Lincoln and meet us there.
We can wait for everyone to arrive in Lincoln before going on to the Kangamagus.

I might be done by noon time but I would not head back to the house first as Portland to Conway is not too bad a drive over rt 302.
Sunday I auto-cross #4 with the car club but I tihnk I will have to skip our on the race to finish the deck that Ken and Sean seem to think I am just dreaming up. My brother is helping me and we have both been buisy the last few weekends and this deck needs to be finished.
As for the B-Day. totaly understandable. I would do the same if I was in your shoes. But if it was just the SO's B-Day I would bring her and take her out to eat in Conway (and possibly bite my toung and let her do a bit of shopping

)Yes I am motivatated, determined to meet this group of characters sooner or later, one way or another (except BIGKEN who works nearby) -- I'm defitely disappointed that my schedule conflicts with the GTGs so far, but sooner or later I'll get in one one.
As for taking the SO (I assume you mean "significant other" in this case the wife) out for the ride-- well-- she is away til December-ish and besides, having never met any Ford Truck Enthusiasts personally, she probably imagines truck-types to be a bunch of hairy guys dragging their knuckles beside them and chasing down lunch with clubs and things.
[Not really! She really is sociable and friendly once she gets to know folks, but she has to meet them first. ]
As for shopping?? Yikes!

Also tell her not to worry when we put the number boards up..

As far an number boards go he might mean "best in show" judging....
My knuckels don't drag on the ground. They've been draging so long I don't have knuckels anymore
And as for me "fitting in" with the reast. I got a Focus and Toyota 4x4. I'm able to squeak by the forum police with my non running 68 and 72 F250's
My ex came with me to a lot of meets untill she started to seperate when she wasn't around on the weekends to attend meets. But thats a whole nother storry for a whole nother time.
If I get a new "soon to be future ex" I will probably drag her to the meets. I will purposly find one with long hair so I can tie it to the "o-****" handle so she can't escape...
The group isn't too bad. The only ones you need to watch out for are those CT guys... They are crazy. After all they go and do burnouts, with pulling a cookie, and also do it in front of cops while driving thier dulie SD's in Mass...
Gray - As for my ME trip today. I ended up going alone. Danm people backing out and having prior engagements to go to.

Yeah I know they ain't a "bad" bunch.. Just kidding because the bride is the shy type at first, then when she is comfortable she don't shut up
That and she is only 5 feet tall so she's afraid of the trucks, let alone the creatures you find inside them. All in good fun.Sorry you went solo, as I wrote earlier, I somehow missed a whole page of this thread somewhere along the line and didn't see any replies to my posts until this afternoon, so I'm glad you weren't expecting me.
I usually respond to posts and things immediately unless I'm in the "work" cycle-- (the 2 or 3 twelve-hour days).
You guys must be headed way out to where the bears and mooses S--- because where I went in Maine, Camden, was 4.25 hours from Greenfield without traffic, and that's normal highway speeds and only three rest (room) stops. Bundle up, mid Sept in white mountains ain't beach weather and bring extra sticks to club your food with in case there is a breakdown that holds you all up
.Oh yeah and looking forward to the potential future post from you "The 68 Lives!"

I should fit in easy with guys in the chapter.. Would a normal guy have just come inside after fighting with stubborn screws on the cowl grille with a flashlight and new phillips driver at 1AM???
Well, mission accomplished, they loosened up before the heads stripped, so now I can sleep tonight not worrying about how to do a wiper motor job when I couldn't get past four stupid screws..
Have a good one!

Has there been any consesus on food? Are there "grills" at any of the parks or will Jammer or I have to bring one?
To whom it may concern: I will be in NH all weekend. I will be checking out Mt Washington and area sat and will head across the Kang early sun and hang out and wait for you guys.

TONS O' FUN (....me) will be there. Who's meeting in manchester? I don't feel like reading.
For me lunch would constitute a mandatory stop in lincoln @ bill & bobs roast beef...mmm...same as the one down in mass for all you woburnish area... Instead of doing the kanc all the way to conway, I might suggest turning off @ bear notch road, which is a left that goes to rt.302 in Bartlett. Paddy know backroads..Paddy know backroads very well...the super awesome part is...I can compression brake it all the way down...and not have to worry about upshifting...may hookup the cruise ctrl for the highway....
