Howdy horse lovers,
Well now, if it warms up and dries up some, it will really feel like summer.  This is not supposed to be the rainy season.

Sorry I missed the mid-month at Hooligans, but as President felt it was my responsibility to NOT pass the flu on to the rest of the club!  Besides, I really didn’t feel like looking at food.  So I’ll need a complete report at the meeting.

I suppose I should recount the Apple Valley Ford Car Show adventure.  We started with a bang.  I left home without my billfold, so I had to back track and get it.  Tim D and I met at the Moorhead rest area and then met the other driver on the road to form the caravan.  Everything was going great until we were on 494 in the Cities.  Tim said he had a vibration in his car.  I guess!!! The right front was bouncing all over.  After a quick tire change (and airing of the spare), on we went.  Good reason to caravan.  (Oh, did I mention the rain and questionable clouds on the way?  (At the the motel, we met Craig J.  Tim showed him the tire with the bulge and then proceeded to lock his trunk key in the trunk!  Oh Boy!!  I tried the key from Travis’s car but it didn’t work.  Oh well.  Tim’s son Ethan tried to take the back seat out while we registered at the motel.  When I came out I tried the key again and after some wiggling, it opened!  Saved!  Then we got to the Ford dealership and they had locked the gate.  Luckily some people from the local car club had a key to another gate so we were able to get them locked in.  Sunday morning…rain!  Nice show, more super chargers than I’ve seen in a long time.  They had lots of Cougars, pickups, 2 GT 40’s, Marauders (one with a blower on it), 80’s Mustang with 460 cid, and lots of Mustangs.  The show was not as big as previous years because of the rain. Dave D got 3rd and Travis got 1st in the 1970’s class.  Craig J got 2nd in his class.  After a bit of a mix-up about meeting up for the trip back, we had an uneventful but wet trip back.  It was a good time.

We will need progress reports on our car shows.  See you at the meeting at Luther Family Ford, Tuesday, June 12 at 6:30 pm.

Hi Everyone,

I think we have enough rain for the time being.  We need some more nice weather so we can get those Mustangs out for a drive.  Had a nice trip to the Cities last weekend in Travis’ 71 Mach 1.  A little noisy, but it’s about the same in our Mustang!!  A lot of nice cars at the car show in Apple Valley.  Did anyone go to the show in Devil’s Lake?

Don’t forget the Mid-month activity at Elmwood Park in West Fargo on Tuesday, June 28.  Bring a food item to share…

See you at the meeting, Tuesday, June 12, 2007.
