My mom and I are leaving to start our journey early tomorrow morning. Fluids topped off, tires filled to 35PSI, interior cleaned, huge emergency kit packed, AAA card in wallet, Spare tire in trunk, and fire extinguisher in front compartment. I hope we are prepared.

I plan on meeting folks at J.P.'s Bar -n- Grill, 1313 - 2nd St. N. Saulk Rapids @ noon on both Thur. & Fri. with my Solstice and caravaning from Saulk Rapids to Randall on HWY 10.
I plan on going to the carshow on Sat with my Fiero (& Solstice if I can find a driver for it). I also hope to bring a few folks from our local Auto Club (Lone Eagle Auto Club).
P.M. me for phone # if anyone needs anything in the central MN area.
All travel SAFE!
EDITED to ADD: Jeff, I am also sorry for your loss, thoughts and prayers are with you & your family,
Great news you plan to make it., and bring other people also!

Kev & Danyel, you guys fight cornersonrails for the cookies, in the mayhem, I will grab them so they do not get damaged. When you are done, and if you can find me before they are all gone, I will gladly share them with you
Getting excited to get into the swing of things there! So far, I fly out tomorrow, stay the night in MN, meet Stu, Antuzzi & Alibi just outside Mn, and caravan to JP's. If anyone else is in the MN area Thursday morning, give me a jingle on my cell phone, and you can join the caravan to JP's # is: 56 one two 36 7O2 four.
Does anyone have GTGeff's number? Either call me or send it to me in email, my email is the same username here on the forum @gmail.com.

I just got off the phone with GTGeff, and it looks like he is going to make it to Frazee! I am posting a little info, as he, as you can immagine, has been very buys with things there. He is hoping to make it and meet the Friday caravan at JP's, pending his work schedule and such.

Was going to a cruise-in in a neighboring town (Long Prairie) tonight and the battery was dead in our Fiero. I didn’t think much of it with the long stretch of high heat & low use of the car. So I jumped it. As I was leaving the garage I noticed the 2 dome lights were on as well as the 2 cab lights under the dash. Both doors are shut tight?? So I pulled the battery to give it a good charge tonight & have it checked out after it’s charged. I hope it’s just a bad door switch as electricity/electronics is NOT a strength of mine. Did make it to cruise-in with solstice not as much fun.
Will NOT be a show stopper for the 2nd annual. If I have too, I’ll pull the fuse if it’s limited to a few lights or just pull the bulbs until I have time to play detective. Guess I’ll travel with Jumpers!
About the only show stopper for me would be horrible weather. As of now the weather for Frazee on Saturday looks like normal summer hot humid with chance of t-storms.
Thursday, Friday, Saturday it’s almos tshow time!
I’m getting excited . . . . . . . I can’t wait to put real names to real faces!
AGAIN ALL TRAVEL SAFE!!

Check the dimmer switch, it's most likely all the way up, it'll click when you move it down and then the lights will turn off when you close the door.
I'll see you guys this weekend! Probably not going to come down until Saturday morning, but we might sneak in on Friday. We'll see. It's only a 2 hour drive for me!!!
