Guest SalG (Sal Grenci) Posted August 31, 2000 Share Posted August 31, 2000 Hi all, When should we meet during Hershey and where? Post your Ideas. I think it should be before judging starts, I for one leave asap after judging. SalG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest snkchevcol Posted August 31, 2000 Share Posted August 31, 2000 I sorta go along with meeting before judging for the same reason. After a week of Hershey I like to get back home by saturday night to have a "cool down" day before work starts again!<P>Rock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novaman Posted August 31, 2000 Share Posted August 31, 2000 What about right after judge's breakfast? Those who don't judge can wait for us if we're running late due to long winded speakers. Or what about maybe on Friday afternoon. I've got flea market spots in the White field we could meet at.<p>[This message has been edited by novaman (edited 08-31-2000).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Hoover Posted August 31, 2000 Share Posted August 31, 2000 Just a friendly offer.<P>If some or all of you folks wish, you are very welcomed some evening to come over and meet at my shop. I'm 7 miles south of the show field, about 10 minutes away. I was just thinking that not everyone can be at the same place at the same time there at the show with all the activities of the week and the crowd. Maybe some night would be more relaxing to shoot the breeze together. <BR>I help my one friend each year sell in the market every day and some nights we work close to dark or I'd say any time during the day would be fine. If you folks want to, I'd enjoy having you over at least one evening for sure. You guys call the night, as any night will be fine for me. Work it out here and let me know if you would like this. It may be fun and not as busy as there at the show.<P>Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jac Posted September 1, 2000 Share Posted September 1, 2000 Rick~~ Great idea! I like the evening or night suggestion. Give a little time to unwind and perhaps we could go to dinner before or after the get together. <BR> There is one condition however. I want to polish a spark plug on one of the cars you are working on so that I can tell the folks here in Fl. I restored or well, at least helped to resore a GN winner. Maybe you can get Dan or someone else to do the rest of the plugs. I hear he has a lots of experience polishing cars.<BR>later-jac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novaman Posted September 1, 2000 Share Posted September 1, 2000 unfortunately, I'm not able to leave the flea market for a "trip". I have other people with me and it's to tight to try getting out and then getting back in without hitting anything. I'm about 28' long without the trailer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest boettger Posted September 1, 2000 Share Posted September 1, 2000 Great idea Rick, I'd love to see your shop and visit a bit. I think that sometime Wednesday or Thursday evening would be great. I'm in awe of someone that actually makes his livelyhood in the old car hobby.<P>------------------<BR>Steve Boettger<BR>'30 DeSoto 8<BR>'59 Nash Metropolitan<BR>'23 Chevrolet Touring<BR>Iroquois Region, AACA Web Site<BR>http://www.aaca.org/iroquois/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest SalG (Sal Grenci) Posted September 2, 2000 Share Posted September 2, 2000 Novaman, I could give you a ride in my Ford station wagon (1999)it has heat, A/C, wipers (can use them all in the same day at Hershey). We could all chip in for soda, chips, etc. SalG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novaman Posted September 2, 2000 Share Posted September 2, 2000 SalG, Thanks for the offer. But, do you have something other than a Ford? It'd be bad for my image to be seen in one. Seroiusly, I'd be willing to take you up on your offer. We can discuss meeting time and place when we get more details on the get together.<p>[This message has been edited by novaman (edited 09-01-2000).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest rcirilli Posted September 2, 2000 Share Posted September 2, 2000 I think that is a great suggestion, I would love to see your shop. Your in Hummelstown Right? Any night would be good for me. I will be there by Wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Hoover Posted September 12, 2000 Share Posted September 12, 2000 Again, which ever night is fine with me. Let's get more feed back from the DF'ers and also get Ron back home from being out west as I believe he was thinking of something in this line of a meeting also. <P>I was thinking of getting out a directions map via e-mail to those who would like to come.<BR>Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novaman Posted September 14, 2000 Share Posted September 14, 2000 Just reminding SalG i'm "interested "in riding with him to the meet. And replying mainly to put this back on top as time is drawing nearer. little over 2 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronbarn Posted September 14, 2000 Share Posted September 14, 2000 I'm back - you all have been having too much fun in my absence!! Yea verily, I think a meeting will be good for our souls (so sayeth Father Ron) and our soles (so sayeth our podiatrist).<P>Looks to me like we have only two windows of opportunity - One is a meeting between the end of judges breakfast (about 8-8:30) and judging (starts at 10:00). Best to meet on judging field since most of us have to judge. There is some decent space between Class 5d/5e and the hedges at the east end of the field.<P>I also like the idea of visiting Rick's shop (it'll give him a good excuse to clean it up). However, Thursday evening is the Museum dinner which may impact some, and Friday evening will be a problem for some (a few of us must attend a board dinner). How about Wednesday? Am sure there will be enough transportation if needed (with some Chevy's and GMCs in addition to Fords).<P>I'd like to visit the shop, but sort of favor the showfield meeting - but am open to concensus.

Guest rcirilli Posted September 14, 2000 Share Posted September 14, 2000 Doing both is OK with me. Wednesday night is good. I think it's probably Rick's call at this point. He is the host.<BR> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Hoover Posted September 15, 2000 Share Posted September 15, 2000 Wednesday night is great! Thurday night for those who would prefer that night is great!

jac Posted September 15, 2000 Share Posted September 15, 2000 Rick, <BR> Wednesday night is a go.<P>Ron,<BR> I think Rick is inviting us over with the idea that we will help (strike the word help) clean up the shop and do some polishing with that magic polishing wax he has. <BR>later-jac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novaman Posted September 15, 2000 Share Posted September 15, 2000 Wednesday night is fine. Hey SalG, what do you want to do about meeting to go? I've got flea market spots in the white field across from the drive between the stadium and the maintaince building where the showers are. The spots are WBF4&5.

Guest Posted September 15, 2000 Share Posted September 15, 2000 If your interested, I have 3 spaces available for a meeting. They are C4E 1-3. They're in the chocolate field annex, on pavement and usually refreshments are available. Ron, I'm sure you can attest to that. Plus, this is fairly centrally located.<BR> Ron, I finally got the gear lube equivalent to 600W. I've been busier than a rooster in two hen houses, but I'll have some available at Hershey. Are you attending the dinner Thursday night. Irene and I would like to know. E-mail me at alantere@nauticom.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SalG (Sal Grenci) Posted September 15, 2000 Share Posted September 15, 2000 novaman, I am at WCF 22, and will have my 1999 Taurus s/w and we can go to Rick's. Wednesday is good for me. SalG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ccar Posted September 16, 2000 Share Posted September 16, 2000 HEy Rick, Wednesday night could work for me. Please send me a map at carischc@msn.com . I am in the Yellow field and may have to walk out in the mud/muck. If I drive, it is a 5 mile trip around the horn to head to your direction. Wow, they could have routed us through Johnstown or something! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Hoover Posted September 16, 2000 Share Posted September 16, 2000 Suggestion Chuck, <BR>To make traveling easier for you and the others in Yellow Field along the Swatara Creek, take your canoe with you to Hershey. Paddle 7.8 miles south, downstream toward Middletown until you have reached the dam. (The important part is that you get out before the dam.) Lights should be on in the shop and the fridge is full of cold ones. <BR>Should it rain a lot on Wednesday, bring the rest of yellow Field with you. I'll hit the beverage depot and get some kegs instead.<P>Rick<p>[This message has been edited by Rick Hoover (edited 09-15-2000).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jac Posted September 16, 2000 Share Posted September 16, 2000 I will have my car at Hershey. If anyone needs a ride to Ricks let me know.<P>For those of you who are going by a canoe that is not equiped with an odometer, GPS, Loran or sextant, I will be at the dam throwing life jackets. <BR>later-jac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ronbarn Posted September 18, 2000 Share Posted September 18, 2000 Two items:<P>Rick, we need a time for the Wed evening DFer bash and brass polishing event. Some of us will most likely schedule dinner to allow time to be there.<P>Second item - If you are a DFer and cannot make Hershey or the Wed evening event, how about sending a current photo to Rick or me and we will post them at the shop so we know what you look like when we talk behind your back in your semi-presence.

Rick Hoover Posted September 18, 2000 Share Posted September 18, 2000 Ron,<BR>Just this morning, told the company I help out at Hershey, that I would be leaving at 5 PM sharp to head over here to the shop. I feel that it's safe to say that anytime after 6 PM should be good. If you want a actual set time for everybody to shoot for, then may I suggest 7 PM? You as Father Ron, have the final say on this. I'll be here after 5 PM, that you can count on.<P>I have not taken the time to put out a map to anyone as of yet. I'll work on that tonight.<P>As for the polishing brass event, if memory serves me correct, I thought we were going to sand and paint a Chrysler for Peter? <P>Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronbarn Posted September 19, 2000 Share Posted September 19, 2000 Hokay DFers - Try to get to Ricks sometime before 7 PM. We will have our traditional business meeting from 7:00 PM to 7:04 PM. That gives us plenty of time to get to know each other, pass on the official gossip, polish brass or paint the Webgeeks car (bring your own spray can) and maybe get to the Wick in time for some great chow. Already have 2 photos for DFers who are not coming. Rick - find a place we can pin up the photos - Dan says his is a full frontal nude, but I'll place a cyber bandage (a very small one is all that is needed) over the appropriate area.
