MrEarl Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 13 hours ago, 50jetback said: Actually, that same jar should be in Mr EARLs shed somewhere - would have a nice crust on it by now. I know Mr Earl didn't try it - RITA wouldn't let him and I believe she was quiet rude about what it looked like. But then you may be out of luck as it may well have been used to grease front wheel bearings of a '54. Enjoy your get together. Actually Stuart that jar of Vegemite came in very useful. I was trying to load a junker '54 with locked up front wheels onto my trailer, put a thin layer of Vegemite in the wheel paths and couldn't keep the slack out of the winch cable once the wheels hit that stuff. I'll mix some brake fluid with it next time. and yea gang, y'all do enjoy your get together, MrE won't be making it this year... again.......... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thriller Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 It looks like we will be five. At least I get a designated driver or two out of it since the eldest child is 20. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thriller Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 If we attend in one car though, we may be a bit late if the boys decide to take in the Hagerty Test Garage...should know in the next couple days. That program is listed as 1-4 Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there is any left after you coat the trailer skids and pack your front wheel bearings could probably try it for breaking in a new cam....sorry to hear you can't make it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnD1956 Posted July 13, 2016 Author Share Posted July 13, 2016 Thanks to Bill Stoneberg for the warning about road construction. Because of the same, even though the manager of the restaurant thinks it may be all done by next week, it is recommended you take the Airport Road option for travel to the Hanoverville Road House Restaurant. Hope this map opens, but if not, search your favorite map program maps for directions from 808 N. Fenwick to 5001 Hanoverville Road. map to the Hanoverville Road House Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnD1956 Posted July 24, 2016 Author Share Posted July 24, 2016 TTT... Just a reminder. Even if you did not indicate a desire to attend, the event is still open to anyone who cares to attend. No reservation is required, just an attitude of friendship. The Flea Market swap is totally optional, although it is the main entertainment. Come on down, and meet your Buick buddies!!! We'll keep the light on for ya! Safe travels! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnD1956 Posted August 1, 2016 Author Share Posted August 1, 2016 Thanks to all who came out for this unofficial event. It was a great time! The Yuenglings was excellent! And I enjoyed perhaps too many of them. There were about 34 people in attendance. Thanks to Mike for posting that picture. But it did not include the families and friends who also participated. As usual, the alcohol based gifts were readily exchanged, but there were some other nice gifts too. Joyce Schramm wound up with "The Can of Spam" which, by the way expired in 2015, so I recommended she treat that with utmost care. Don't want that one breaking open due to rough handling. And, although no one made a Buickman nomination last year, Larry Schramm did offer one to Dandy Dave, for " Coughing up a rod" which allowed him to get the 15 truck back together in time for the Meet! So we awarded Dave Brennan the Award with a round of hoots, hollars and applause! Congrats DD. I'll try to post some pictures taken by Parker Tom, whom I had the pleasure to sit with.

jscheib Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Sorry I missed another good time, but just too many things to do in a short stretch of time. But since Bea and I where there since Sunday, we got to do some other unique things, like a real PA German dinner and scrapple. Tried to get up there, but did not make it. Better luck next year.
