Morning

Hope everyone has a pleasant day. We need that rain in the forcast to happen. We sure need it.
Brady went to JV two weeks ago and to Truckhaven last Sat. Probably stay home this weekend. Need to acquire some honey do points so I can go out the weekend of Oct. 17/18 for Operation Desert Fun. A fundraiser for CAL4WD and San Diego Paralyzed Vets. Also a good excuse to play with the toys. Cheers
BigGeo.

Monday morning is house cleaners day 'round here, so I have ta put the 5 Basset Hounds outside.

No sooner had the house cleaners left, it started raining like Billy B Gezus, thunder and lightning too.

The dogs were soaked...several minutes later the sun came out.

Welcome to California!

Lol!! Sounds like the weather around here. The saying we have is "Don't like the weather in Nebraska? Wait five minutes, it'll change!".

SEMA show

So, to Brady and anyone else with experience, how do you manage to get a ticket to SEMA?

I checked out registration, and of course it's a trade only show, and unlike a lot of them they appear to take that pretty seriously. How do you scalp a ticket? Any tips?

It looks like a really cool show.
