[Uncle Ron 1,448]

Hey y'all, who's going to the Tucson G& M show and when... ??? ,,, Dodacious and I are thinking about finally going down to it...Who else?  John B.?  Mayhaps we should have a Nugget Shooter newtimers and old timers gig there?  Cheers, Unc

I'll be there in spirit only. Have a great time folks.

I've been to Tucson a few times for the shows. It's gotten progressively bigger over the years much like Quartzsite in the past. If you go, you'd need  to spend at least a week to see everything. Just so much to partake. Everyone should make the trip at least once. You'd be amazed.

I wanted to go, but two of three vehicles are broke, and that's a redline I don't cross.  Looks like this weekend is replacing heads gaskets on one vehicle, and the second vehicle is finding where all my coolant went, despite having no leaks.  

Keeps me busy, so I'm happy.

I might have your missing coolant Chris. I saw a puddle here yesterday.

Do you need any slightly used steering fluid? It seems I've been stockpiling my missing extra on the frame underneath the steering pump.

Seems like we both might be having a fun "busy" weekend.

It should be nice weather...

I'd rather be at the shows in Tucson.

One down two to go.  Easy one finished of course.  Now its the heads on the van.  They seem easy compared to the diesel.  I would not even consider working on the diesel.

I got my coolant before I read this, otherwise I'd take you up on the offer.

 

Hopefully I'll have it fixed and the action will still be going on in Tucson or Quartzite next weekend.

I'm going, first this Saturday. I'm usually there right at 8/9AM and hit it pretty hard and I only see three of the 30+ shows. Then I'm back down there the 13-16th for the main convention show.

Day 1 was busy! Hope you all make it down there. You have until Feb. 16th

Will be out there on the weekend of the 16th.  I'm looking forward to it.  Showing up on the 13th, and leaving on the 16th.  All my broke vehicles will be fixed by then.

Take some pics for all the forum members who have never been to or heard of these shows. Just so interesting to see everything that goes on there.
