    Hey David. Not sure about Jerry O. yet, but Spring and I are planning on meeting up between 8:30-9:00 in Madison and driving down together. If your on I-94 east bound Friday, look for us. I'm not sure who's going to steer and who will be working the pedals.

    Plan is to head down and hit Rockler before the show opens at noon.

    Haven't really thought about after show. Spring & I will each have about 2 hour drive home. Having said that I'm not opposed to meeting up with a couple of Creekers after the show for a bite to eat and some talk. Of course that's all dependent on Spring cause he is the chauffer. I get to ride and babble incoherently until he throws me out or other wise shuts me up.
    Creeker Visits. They're the best.

    Makes me wish I was still in Wisconsin so I could join you guys at the show. I guess I'll just have to content myself working in the garage shop in my shorts all weekend.

    Security status

    Karl and John, your preliminary background check is going OK...(I had to bribe the local police officer)...but I am still hiding your avatars and keeping my wife away from Post Office. Should you pass final clearance, I plan to be there. I'll send a PM w my cell phone # and then we can meet at the show. Show opens 12 noon. I'll plan to arrive right about then. Attire to be announced later. GQ photographers are standing by as well as Farm n Fleet LOML said I can't wear my workshop clothes

    Yeah, me neither. Guess I'll just have to leave them leaning against the wall in the bathroom, like I usually do. Hey, great idea about the c-phones, too! Hmmm...I'm thinkin' you'd be a handy guy to have around!

    I'll have my cell also, Jerry. I'll also have Spring along to help me with it's operation. [I normally just carry it cause it's shiny ].

    Looking forward to meeting up with you. We've already got our tickets, so we won't have to wait in line to purchase and will be able to go right in.

    See you Friday.

    Uh, ohhhhh....Hey Karl, you got a long rope? I figure we can tie it to the hitch of my truck (in lieu of a horse!) and yank those bars off the jail-house winders! Hang on, Jerry...We'll bust 'ya out! Give us an address and we'll get 'ya out. Heck, we can even call it a kidnapping, hold you for ransom and probably get some extra spendin' money from the LOYL!
