Bribe her to come, or bribe her to stay home?

She is in my charge and is pissed off (with protruding lower lip no less)...
I told her to bring her scooter, maybe that would make it more fun. I'm going anyway.

Can you get me (and Eva) on the way? Would you? Coke I'd buy you, or coffee. I gotta stop at 7-11 anyway for kash, I forgot today.
If not then I'll see you at 9.

Already have a fullish load, picking up Adam on the way and Mary's riding to the Max with us so she doesn't have to park downtown.

Had a GREAT time today, thank you guys. Very memorable. I am sorry for
1. being such a crabass
2. having irritated Eva crabbing things up too
I don't blame her, a car show isn't her thing. But boy does she tell me she's annoyed! And then I tell you. But at least you bought me a beer, Hal. Adam I still owe you a dollar. You looked amusing with a pink Hello KittyTM backpack, especially around all those grizzled gearheads.
I got a very nice (vintage) crosscut raker gage for $3! Score! And a $5 mini ratchet I'm sure I'll pass on to the grand-kids. And a German Hella taillight lens for $1 from a cool guy with no front teeth.
Gypsie no parts for you (thank God but we'da lied anyway), but there was a nice '71 Super for what, $1300? And a million old wrecks, mini Titanics dug up from the depths of time. Next year I'm bringing the camera. Wooden spokes from 1910, almost gone. And 10 feet away, a running Model T, bright red.
I liked the PIR Raceway event better. It was cheaper and the parts grittier and more interesting. Plus the crowds were more dispersed, and it's a nice long loop to walk. Expo Center event had too much Betty Boop. Expo, too much Boop. Expothink Excessboop. Exnonboop. -Boop ...

Ey no probs Hammie, happens to everyone.

Also, went back to take the books back, mainly because the darned things costed so much.
I went back and checked the van forums and it was the right book, however for now $50 is a lot for those books.

+ they can be had for as little $8 w/ shipping on ebay.
