Met Cort tonight

[Rich]

Cort is in town for the big car cruise here tommorow.
Jim L and myself went down to his hotel and had a nice time talking with Cort.
Really big show coming Saturday night for these car nuts, expecting two million people.
Cort's a good guy, glad we had a chance to meet.

Bonnie and I can attest to the great feeling of meeting another heart buddy. It is just so great, isn't it? Like you are coming together with your long lost loved one. Glad you two got to meet and thanks for sharing.

Rich, you were up late last night! It was an hour drive home for me...

Yes, I got to see Rich and Cort again, and meet one of Cort's girls, the 87 MC, beautiful car. And it's beautiful weather for a cruise today. But sorry, no pictures.

The Woodward Dream Cruise was an absolute BLAST!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am ssssooo glad I attended. And, I "killed 4 birds with 1 stone", as it were.

*pauses*

I've never been fond of that saying, but unfortunately, my creative mind can't think of anything better right now......

*unpauses*

As for those 4 special events in 1 trip:

* I met Rich...got to see Jim again (will see him again this year in Colorado in a couple months

* Met several people from some other auto-related message boards

* Attended my 1st Woodward Dream Cruise (the 10th Annual one, no less!)

* Attended a 1st Gen MC Club Annual Meeting for the 1st time! (Yes, the 1st Gen Club met at Woodward Dream Cruise!)


Rich,
It was great to finally meet you! It's great to put a face/voice to the name on the screen! And, it was great to meet someone who worked for the GM Design Team . He he he.... Seriously, I'm glad we had the opportunity to meet!

Jim,
I'm so glad you surprised me by coming down Friday night after all! I was a bit bummed when I spoke to you earlier that evening when it looked like I wouldn't get the opportunity to see you this trip. As it was, I didn't get to see a few people I had planned to visit, but well, you can't do it all, can ya? Heh. Ah, well...there is always next time...right? And, thanks for your comments about my '87 .

And, to both of you, thank you for rolling with the program Friday night...I admit it was a bit crazy with all of the calls and people stopping by. Hope you didn't think I was too distracted...he he he. I was just the "social butterfly" this weekend...and I had a blast at it, too!

As for pictures, if you all like, I can (when I get a chance) put together some different links for ya'll to check out....

And, Ann...you nailed it:
"Like you are coming together with your long lost loved one."
Amen, sister

Not so glad to be home...he he he,

Cort, I didn't realize you did trains, too! Is that HO in the picture? You could have toured the Lionel museum while you were here, and there is a fabulous O scale layout in Holly...

 

[Rich]

Hi Cort,
It was good to meet face to face.
I hope you had a great time here, the weather the last two days was fabulous.
I here it was the biggest dream cruise yet, crowds estimated at anywhere from 1.7 to 2.0 million people, with about ten thousand cars!!
Oh and one more thing, now you know I don't quite look like my avatar anymore.

Jim,

Yep...trains are in my hobby reportoire, too! And, yes, that is an HO scale train set up in the pic...! I didn't realize there is a Lionel museum in MI...whereabouts is it? I'll have to remember to tour that place next time I'm in MI....


Rich,

You look better than your avatar .

Oh...I had a wonderful time, to the point that I wish it would've lasted a lot longer. It was an absolute blast! Heh...10K cars, eh? I think I saw about half the people and maybe one tenth of the cars....lol!

 

[JimL]

I missed a tour of the Lionel museum some years ago, I've never been there, just heard about it. We'll have to check out the galloping geese at the railroad museum in Golden.

Sounds like a plan to me, Jim!
