FABO, Daisy, and I will be going to this first show. ABodyBetty will be staying home due to school work she has to get done.
It's the Smoke On The Water Barbeque Festival & Car & Truck Show, in Dunlapsville IN! This will be the second year for us there, 1st year for Daisy.
The first year we took BOF, but not showing BOF. Was parked in front across the street though. When we were leaving, there were people there looking at her. I walked up unlocked the doors, ABB got in, handed me a screwdriver. I went to pop the hood, hit the relay, fired up, closed hood and left a small crowd standing the snickering LOL! ABB said she was embarassed. I told her it was anti theft system LOL!!:toothy10:
Been raining last night and this morning.
Got Daisy out of the barn and washed the last of the bat crap from her. Not really counting on it staying clean for the show. Wasn't even going untill the last min. I wanted to go, so I went! Loaded the car with ABB's help, got some $ from her too till Mon! LOL! Fuel, then OFF!!!
I took lots of video of the trip up and show. ABB is editing the videos while we read. I have just got done editing the still pics so I'll go ahead and bang out copy, post the pics, let ya check them, then in a bit, we'll post the vids, OK?
The drive was going to take approx 75 min for 55 miles. We left at 11:15 LOL!! Registration ends at 12:30!!! Now we are in a hurry!!:clock:
Stop for fuel on the way out of town. We travel up IN 1, St. Leon, Cedar Grove, Mound Haven, Brookville. Then we run the length from South to North of Brookville Lake. Once we get to Roseburg, quicl left then across causeway on northern tip of the lake. As soon as we cross the Smoke on The Water BBQ fest and car show on Right. It was weird, I had been playing the FM converter through the AM radio, sounded like crap but....
When we were comming across the bridge to the car show, I think my radio was playing Smoke on the Water!!! We'll have to check the vid to be sure. But I'm telling ya if it was playing that song it was way strange!! (The song on the video was actually Edgar Winter Group - Frankenstein, I was too excited about the show to really be paying attention to the song while we were entering the gates.)
I even used the wipers without thinking due to all the stuff going on comming in at the last min. Can you hear the lack of wiper bushings? Sounds like the linkage is about to jump out of the dash at you! LOL!!
We made it there by the skin of our teeth. Rained the whole show. Ate BBQ inside of Daisy, no other place dry to sit.
I had spied a Studebaker Champion I had picked out to win the show. It did!!
Went up to a rib joint and ordered the smallest rib order. 3 of them for $5.00. Had to have someone watch me for bout an hour to see if there was a gall bladder problem in the future that I may need the ambulance for! I'm still OK so far.
Check the ice cream shop at the corner. It has a hit miss engine hooked up to 2 ice cream makers! Pretty cool! You can hear the hit/miss across the grounds all the while calling you back to that just churned by hit/miss fresh ice cream, mmmmmmmmmmm ice cream.
Smoke everywhere on the grounds. All the different BBQ scents...MMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmm. Everytime you walk another 50 feet another wonderful smell hits you! Samples anyone?
Why in the heck does this geezer on this golf cart keep running up my ace???!!!
Didn't even know they had a split the pot drawing. No one came around to push em like usual. When I found out was after judging. It started to blow pretty good so I moved Daisy out from under some dead limbs to a cement pad next to the Dubs. The speaker for the show was next to them and I heard split the pot soon and awards come now, OK!!
I was clapping for all the winners as they came up. When they said 74 Dart, I started walking up. Says my name congrats, shook hand went back. No one clapped!! I was a lone wolf!! The outsider at the show LOL!!
Either that or no one likes Abodies!! Was only 2 Mopar there. Just like last time, we were the only A bodies there. But we represented FABO, Daisy, and ABB and won an award and the split the pot too!! Hey gas money, Thanks!!!:cheers:
Last seg of vid, see the magnetic dash plaque? Hey where did all the chrome, brass, alum, silk screened dash plaques go? There goes another print shop! I guess the new ones are better for the guys who run them. At least they stick on the dash without glue!!
MMMMMMMmmmmmmm BBQ!!!!!!!=P~
