WCOFF II - West Coast Ol' Farts Fest II

[StentS]

Oh and I would like to make another suggestion .....

The words "Cell Phone" and "Radio" should be well embedded into everyone's brain since the written word seems to be misconstrued, changed to something completely different than what was written or just ignored on a daily basis......

That being said.... I can't wait for the next WCOFF

That sounds like the first PSA Annoucement for Post 1. I'll add it now.

I don't care where we have it. As long as all my OF Camaro buddies are there. I'll follow you guys anywhere.

So we're looking at something like:

Thursday - Drive in
Friday - Easy, fun stuff, mini cruises
Saturday - Big Cruise day
Sunday - Easy, fun stuff, mini cruises
Monday - Drive home
Tuesday -

For WCOFF'ers with extended driving distances, they may want to break the drive-in and out into 2 days. I know that of the outta-towners, I had the shortest drive of about 480 miles. That distance in and out combined with WCOFF put me close to 1500 miles after which my brains were toast.... that had to be a killer for the Skittle Brigade who had almost another 500 miles .

WCOFF is supposed to be fun and safe.

Toasted skittles... heehee.... The excitement of what was to come kept me awake the whole way down. On the way home, though, there were a couple of times I thought about pulling over and sleeping.

I like the idea of adding a day. If I can talk my husband into coming along next year, then any location with that length of time is fine. If he can't or won't join me, then I need to consider that I'm using vacation time that could be taken with family, and not risk upsetting the family too much, so it would have to be someplace I can make it to in one day (even a long 15-16 hour day!)
Did that make sense???

It made all the sense in the world. I can identify with that. It's a good part of why I'm not able to go to C5FEST, aside from all the schekels it would cost.

Glad it made sense... I was worried my coffee hadn't kicked in enough and I was typing gobbledygook...

You know - only an Ol' Fart would use a word like "gobbledygook." Just sayin'

[StentS]

Can someone define "gobbledygook" for me?

Well, the word was first used in the 1940's, so.... yeah.

Vince, when you do the poll this coming week, can you also poll for a date for WCOFF II? Once a date is set, can you put up a count-down clock?

I can't help myself - I'm jonesing here.

[StentS]

Sorry... I already have a date for WCOFF II .... A poll is not needed.... The clock on the other hand is easy ... kinda like I hope my date is.....

Very funny - and a double whammy! You just better be nice to Karen or she may give you a double-whammy.

[StentS]

Hehe....

Next year June 6th is a Thursday
Friday is the 7th

So I am guessing if we are going to add a day it will be the 6th?

Karen reads all my posts And I am always nice .. I will be severely bruised again if I am not.... <<<<< Karen
