The PA Chapter's "Land of Independence" July 2020 Chat and B/S Thread

Crossing the halfway point of 2020 in this messed up world, heading into the second half. Time flies when you're having fun and when you're not.

With July, and all of the "stuff" going on in the world, we're finally seeing the opening of car show season. Bloomsburg will host the 4-Wheel Jamboree Series on July 10-12, Carlisle is actively hosting shows again with Ford Nationals being at the end of the month (July 31 - August 2), and some of the local events are back on the calendar. So, that's a bit of a return to normal I would suppose. Looking forward to getting the 98 out there for a while and seeing the folks I've connected with over time both thru here and through other means. Truck Nationals at Carlisle is the weekend following Ford (August 7-9) and I believe there may be some available opportunity to get passes for that weekend yet through the gate-and-go option, otherwise you'd have to buy tickets/passes at the fairgrounds. I have lots to do if I intend to pull off the stuff I'm thinking in my head...lol.

No long preamble tonight, it's late and I need sleep. You know what to do, so do it

Howdy. Wrapped up with the office stuff for the week, now it's on to final prep for the Bloomsburg show. Should be pretty much done in 3 days, not much yet to go.
