    EXCELLANT Show' I'd say. It's finally hitting it's stride. Sold a lot of stuff, met a lot of people, and the turnout is now as it should be. Bunch of HAMBers there ( pics to follow)
    We were blessed with the breathtakingly bodacious "High Priestess of Mocha Java" all day long , which kept everyone in a good frame of mind, and the Porta potties so busy, you needed a reservation.
    I took a bunch of pictures, but have to wait for my tech guy to download them for me. ( my son, Patrick the Engineer). ALL GOOD STUFF! A special thanks to "ABones" and his Dad- they both helped "lighten the load" for the trip home.

  6. I missed out! Been passing out the flier and telling a couple of people myself; it seems to be taking off well.

    Sooo, uh, I still haven't unloaded my truck from last month, but I'll be flying solo for the swap on September 27th which means I might not wake up in time or enough to get there at a reasonably early hour. Who all's coming?

    That'd end up being Thanksgiving weekend, Mike. I kinda doubt it'd be a good bet.

    Regardless, I'm going to try and do both this month and October 25th because I've still got about a half ton in my truck I'd like to re-home and I'm still looking to get a 37 - ish Ford radiator to mock up with. I scored some 36 headlights last week so that's the last thing on my list, which is a weird feeling after collecting parts for this car for 3 years.
     
  13. I'll be there.

    Thanx Mike for posting pics. I don't think the NED can compete with this turnout

    Well, Pat,
    Thanksgiving is on Thursday the 26th- Swap would be Sunday the 29th. If you eat turkey for three days, and bring a turkey sandwich to Candia, it works out perfect. ( and the pie will be LONG GONE after 3 days!).
    We all need iron in our diet , so over the river and through the woods to the Bleven's Farm I'd go. Gobble-gobble!!
    And you're most welcome, Ronnie. Let's hope the weather holds.

    My truck is already loaded!

    Nevermind that I never really UN-loaded it... I'M READY FOR THIS WEEKEND!

    I'm looking to SELLSELLSELL because I don't have my helper (Wife) this weekend to help me load back up, so feel free to toss offers at me. I've got way too much stuff to have an easy time listing it all on ePay this winter.

    Also, I'm looking hard for a 37+/- Ford Radiator, on the cheap side, cash or trade! So if you got one you don't want, bring it!

    A good day in Candia. Met up with an old friend and found an item for my Courier.

    Today I was @ NED for the old fashioned Sunday nostalgia event. The monthly swap was there and I have to say- Candia has WAY MORE COOL VENDORS AND WAY BETTER PARTS! If you are into matchbox cars and new tools from China, go to the track. If you want old, rusty, rare, and cool cars and car parts- go to Candia. Everyone knows where the best deal is (and best coffee) CANDIA

    Great array of vendors and hardware-trim-panels-cowls-lights...thanks to Blevens,
    I'm bringing my Little Red Wagon next time.
    Mike, maybe see you there then!

    I had a great time! - mostly B.S.-ing ( but that's at least half the fun of going- "social networking"). No "Queen of Java" today, boo-hoo.
    Can't make it to the last one- out of state family business- but I'll be there in spirit.

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    A million thanks to the Blevens Clan for all their hard work!
    To all of you on the farm, Be safe, and God bless from the "Roll-A-Bone" Hot Rod Shop , in the woods, Mass. ------ Mike B.
