Re: [AJD] New York EXPO VII

[greg at theoldtractorcompany.com]

The real question is...where DID Chris go? Saw him briefly in my tent and then POOF! He was 
gone! lol Sorry I didn't get to talk to you more Chris

LONG trip back, did I mention it was long?, left Sunday morning (after a one HOUR ordeal 
checking out, sadly I have had similar problems before so think I am done with the Canandaigua 
Motel. Great people, just don't have a clue how to run the computer) drove like crazy, drove 
some more, slept two hours in a rest stop in Indiana, arrived home just after 7 pm.
Trip was just under 1700 miles one way. I am glad I picked up the Liquidator and the Cyclone 
but don't know if I will do the drive again. But then again I will likely forget during the 
next two years! Springfield, OH Expo next year, it's also a great show.

This was my 3rd NY Expo and it's starting to feel like family. Mitch, Tom, Beth Rich, Mike and 
all that group, Ray Butel, Nick Barbieri, Kent and Susan Kaster, Bob Beaver, Ed Miller, Justin 
Patchen, Stone and Parrish, David Marlin, Marlin Smith, Terry of Little Deere's, good friends 
Donald Angstadt of Pikeville Equipment and my semi-partner Kevin Stober of Farm Power 
Restoration, the incomparable cooking skills of the other Kevin, and all the great local club 
members (Jim Keem, the Jensens, Ed Wheeler and everyone) all make it seem like visiting 
relatives. I really look forward to seeing everyone and now anticipate the Gathering of the 
Green in Moline in March.The Expo itself was unreal to say the least even allowing for the rain.

A great time and a long drive!
