We'll be there !!!!!!

by **David Head** » 15 Thu Mar, 2012 6:12 pm

Hey guys.. Long time No see....
I'm planning on riding down there sometime that week. I'm taking the whole week off. Probably Wednesday or Thursday. Of course I'll be on the Harley. Where are the early birds hanging out?
Lookinf forward to seeing the gang.

by **Russhebert** » 15 Thu Mar, 2012 6:19 pm

I guess that means I won't be at Fredericksburg.

by **Jack Duncan** » 16 Fri Mar, 2012 11:45 am

I hope to be there, but I may have out of town guests that weekend. Can't register until I find out for sure.

by **yoboy** » 01 Sun Apr, 2012 12:59 pm

3 weeks from today.....

So who is going to be there early for a cruise on Friday and Sat.? Coming in on Thursday, staying at Oakwood RV Park [same rv spots as last year for our group].

by **GregR** » 01 Sun Apr, 2012 2:34 pm

Susan and I should be in Thursday. Definitely up for Saturday cruise.

by **CoryN** » 01 Sun Apr, 2012 4:17 pm

Either Thursday night or early Friday for me.

by **Russhebert** » 01 Sun Apr, 2012 6:23 pm

Good news for everyone, I will not be able to make this one. I will miss my spot at the Man Cave but I am sure there are plenty of takers that are more than capable of taking my place. I am going to have a long time needed back surgery. I will be down for about 3 weeks but then hopefully a lot less pain. This hurts a little because we will miss all of you because we do a lot together at this one. Good luck to everyone and hopefully you will all win. Be careful and please be safe. See you down the road.

by **BrianB** » 01 Sun Apr, 2012 8:24 pm

See yall at the Blast :mrgreen:

by **GregR** » 01 Sun Apr, 2012 8:39 pm

Well wishes Russell, we'll all miss you. See you guys at the Blast!

by **CoryN** » 01 Sun Apr, 2012 8:52 pm

Bummer.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Any thing we can do to help so you could still make it?

by **Russhebert** » 01 Sun Apr, 2012 10:41 pm

Thanks for the offer but the surgery is on the 10 th and they said I Caint drive for 2 weeks.

by **Bryan Porter** » 02 Mon Apr, 2012 8:40 am

Sorry to hear you will not be there but glad you
will be better soon still have the blast and roundup.
We will miss you guys!!!!!! :cry:

by **Ken** » 02 Mon Apr, 2012 9:38 am

Best wishes and a speedy recovery Russell.

by **ckolek** » 02 Mon Apr, 2012 8:47 pm

Sure going to miss you and the lovely wife telling me how cute my car is all weekend, but very glad to hear that you are getting your back taken care of. Hoping for a speedy recovery!

by **Bill K** » 02 Mon Apr, 2012 9:46 pm

Let me echo the others, Best Wishes with the surgery. Please keep us posted on your progress and yes indeed, you guys sure will be missed.

by **Jack Duncan** » 03 Tue Apr, 2012 9:20 pm

I will have company until sometime late Saturday. I plan to drive up early Sunday morning. Save me a spot, OK?

by **Texasbuggys** » 06 Fri Apr, 2012 9:02 pm

Good luck with surgery Russell and praying for your speedy recovery.

by **Russhebert** » 06 Fri Apr, 2012 9:18 pm

Thanks everyone for the kind words. Hope to see you soon.

by **CoryN** » 13 Fri Apr, 2012 7:26 am

Well it looks like I'm out. I'm registered and pre-paid, so if someone hasn't signed up yet, pretend you are me. (Might win you an award, I took third when I pretended to be Bill)

I might still try to come down for the day though. Have fun!

Cory

by **BrianB** » 13 Fri Apr, 2012 11:40 am

See you at the Buggy Blast Cory.

by **CoryN** » 13 Fri Apr, 2012 2:12 pm

Hopefully I'm running by then.

by **GregR** » 14 Sat Apr, 2012 4:02 pm

what happened Cory?

by **CoryN** » 14 Sat Apr, 2012 7:08 pm

Emergency heart transplant today. I'm back in. I need to tweak the brakes and I haven't been able to do any cleaning yet. Might not be able to cruise a whole lot but it will make the show

by **Bryan Porter** » 15 Sun Apr, 2012 7:31 am

Great news glad you are going to make it!!

by **cdmartin** » 15 Sun Apr, 2012 3:43 pm

We are planning to go to the classic, but not to camp. Where are the "non campers staying"?

by **CoryN** » 15 Sun Apr, 2012 3:45 pm

If you don't have a hotel room by now good luck finding one.

by **GregR** » 15 Sun Apr, 2012 4:05 pm

Yup, motels could be tricky now. Also consider checking into Bed & breakfastsand there are folks that live there who wil rent their house for weekends, etc. Just a couple of options. If Fredericksburg is full, Comfort is only 20 miles south on 87. Meyer B&B is where most of us stay for the RoundUp in Sept.

by **Bill K** » 15 Sun Apr, 2012 10:33 pm

I'm staying at the Howard Johnson on the west end of town. I just checked and they have a room available with two doubles. But you need to call and not book over the internet for some weird reason because the internet may not show availability. The number is: 830-990-4200.

I'm sure glad to hear you are going to make the show.

by **Bill K** » 16 Mon Apr, 2012 12:20 pm

I saw a word I've never seen before in a weather forecast: "Delightful" is what Accu Weather used for Saturday. I'd say that is absolutely
"DELIGHTFUL" 8-)

by **Bill K** » 18 Wed Apr, 2012 7:48 am

So far the ones I know are coming to the Classice are: Bryan, Billy, Jack, Richard, Danny, Cory, Greg, Chris, Ken, and Charley. Am I missing someone?

Just wondering: Where are folks staying and when are they planning to arrive?

I'm at the Howard Johnson and hope to arrive about mid-day Thursday.

Can't wait to see you all again.

by **CoryN** » 18 Wed Apr, 2012 7:50 am

I'm leaving McKinney around noon on Thursday. I'm tent camping at Ladybird in this delightful weather.

by **Bill K** » 18 Wed Apr, 2012 8:20 am

Linda K, here...........I couldn't help but notice my CHAUVANISTIC (now, there's a word we haven't heard in a while) husband named only the MEN attending the Classic. Surely not all the Good Wives are staying behind????? And I thought I was the ONLY stick-in-the-mud!

Maybe I should invite all the gals over for a party??

by **CoryN** » 18 Wed Apr, 2012 9:49 am

I'm a solo on this trip

by **BrianB** » 18 Wed Apr, 2012 6:28 pm

Have fun Ya'll. I'll be thinking about you. Stay safe and I'll see you at the blast!

by **Russhebert** » 18 Wed Apr, 2012 6:45 pm

I agree please have a great time everyone. I will be thinking about my spot at the Man Cave and wishing I was there. I am feeling much better so far and have had no pain in my leg like before. I am walking around much better now and should be great by time the blast comes around. See you soon.

by **Bill K** » 18 Wed Apr, 2012 7:13 pm

Great report, Russell. Sure glad to hear it.

We'll miss you both.

by **GregR** » 18 Wed Apr, 2012 9:16 pm

Glad things are looking up Russell.
See you at the Blast if not sooner.......Hi Christie....

by **Faron** » 18 Wed Apr, 2012 11:02 pm

I am so bummed that I am not going to make it this year, but what can I do. I hope to see ya at some other event in the future! Please take and post a ton of photos for those of us that can not join you.

by **Ken** » 23 Mon Apr, 2012 11:51 am

We made it home fine and as always with this group we had a fantastic time. Thanks to everyone for making this another memorable family fun weekend.
As always, it was great meeting new friends and putting faces to TMC member names.
We missed everyone that couldn't make it.
Gloria and Anne did a great job pointing out our Saturday 130+ mile cruise. (Sorry AGAIN about the dust.)
The only way Delia and I can think of making this any better is if we would have gotten it started before Saturday. We'll work on this next year.
Hope everyone is making it home safe and sound and without any incidence. Greg?

I started a picture thread, so if you took some, please share'em.

by **GregR** » 23 Mon Apr, 2012 7:00 pm

We made it home without incident...guess those 2 NEW tires on the trailer did the trick. Susan made me stop and pick up the tread from the former spare. I guess she wants to make sandals or something.......Sure was fun watching the entire tread from 2 tires start their own adventures away from the trailer at 65mph :lol:

by **Bill K** » 23 Mon Apr, 2012 8:58 pm

I made it home safe and sound likewise, and am glad to hear others did also. Needless to say, I had a fantastic time as I always do when I get to be around such fine people.

And, SPECIAL THANKS, go out to the Blairs and Porters for their provision of the Man Cave and their warm and gracious hospitality. What they do for us takes the enjoyment factor to a whole new level.

by **Faron** » 24 Tue Apr, 2012 9:50 am

Wheres the pics of all the cool Buggies, and who won what?

by **GregR** » 24 Tue Apr, 2012 10:25 am

Bryan Porter won First in Buggy/Tube chassis
Mary Dirks(?) won Second in Buggy/Tube chassis

Cory Newman took third in Buggy/Pan Chassis.

by **Faron** » 24 Tue Apr, 2012 11:17 am

That just blows me away that Cory got 3rd. I cant wait to see what got 1st and 2nd, as his Buggy is VERY nice as far as I can tell.

by **CoryN** » 24 Tue Apr, 2012 1:04 pm

There were a lot nicer buggies there than mine. I was surprised with 3rd.

by **Jack Duncan** » 24 Tue Apr, 2012 7:02 pm

Cory, don't sell yourself short. You absolutely deserved 3rd and more. That book showed where your buggy came from. I saw alot of people looking at it. You performed a miracle. Can't wait to see that new steering column in there. Congrats!
