Clare Michigan show, August 15-17

[TedG]

What great time! Good to see everyone & to make sure you all got reflectors!!!!
Near St.Johns, on a straight piece of 127, I got the M185A3 up to 57mph & the I felt the throttle return spring snap! So check your throttle springs during your next preflight!
Off to another foreign land so over & out!

ps. Thanks Clint, Dave, Rod & everyone else who help set this great event up!

Regards,

Dave, how did you get the big trailer up there?

Lane had his wrecker at the show. My bet is Dave put it to good use....
Were you at the Clare show Rattlehead? Sorry I missed you if you were.

No, I didn't go this year. It has been a tradition of some long time friends coming into town from IL to visit and go to the Woodward cruise. I blew it off last year for Clare. But now they are holding the event the same weekend every year, I had to pick one. We took the tractor and the M119 through the cruise. Tied the rear doors open and 2 guys sat on a couch in back.

I had a great time again this year. I had an oil leak start on the way home that coated the under side of the truck. It wasn't bad and I didn't loose much oil, just enough of a drip to let the wind spray it everywhere. Anyway, here are the pics I took.

Thanks for posting the pics - most are dups of what I had taken. Too bad my son did not make it but it was nice to meet the group. I had some interest in my parts but I was too distracted to really sit there as a vendor. No, I did not buy any reflectors! I look forward to the next meet. A few guys were interested in my tires thou.

I tried to get over and talk with you and everytime someone stopped me and told me there life story or I was stuck running the wrecker. That is a nice deuce dumper for sure.. Would love to see it at the trail ride in Sept... Hint, Hint..

Graying or Silver Lake?

Graying or Silver Lake?

But both of course.. Sorry Zak.. I got you mixed up with the other guy.. Everytime I stopped at the dump there was only a lady sunning herself.. The grayling trailride would be fun in that dump.. I might make Silver Lake this year but time and fuel money are tight..

This was the first Clare show I've missed in a long time. My dad passed away on 8/10 and I just couldn't get in gear to get ready. Looks like it was a lot of fun. I do plan on being at the Bruce VFW post in St Clair Shores this coming weekend.

The lady was my mechanic I tried to bring my m37 also, but the trailer didn't work out. Grayling is about 90 miles from Greenbush, where I keep the dump. I might be able to get there for a few hours on saturday.

I counted over 40 MV's of various size and shape. A couple stayed in the lot and didn't join us on the hill.

Hit the submit button too soon:

I got a pic of Lane going by on the way home, but the angle is wrong and you can't see what's on his hook!
