Sorry to hear that Tom, I was really looking forward to running my Gen I in the
mud with the infamous Christine.
My ’88 is loaded up on the trailer, just need to throw a few more things in the
back of my ’96 and we’ll be underway in the morning. Ingrid and I should be
there either tomorrow night or Thurs. morning.
Sorry Norah, despite my best efforts, the cheesecake won’t make it out of the
apartment. It’s already suffered a fatal attack. ;) I do have Barry’s Root Beer
though. Anything else I need to bring while we’re on the subject?
Walt
