Yeah I saw a repeat of the 10 pm news when I got home last night and was very disappointed.  So much for the Coffee Cruise in.

Thanks for the pics, I wish I was there with you guys.  Be sure to get pics of each member next to their respective Eagle (if you haven't already) before you all head out.

Well I wish everyone could of been here.
We sure have had a busy few days.
Jim and I got here Wednesday morning and met up with Brandon late in the afternoon.
Brandon grilled some burgers, and we had a good visit with Brandon,Morgan,and Sam.
Afterwards we rounded up and sorted the parts we needed to get the headliner in and the trim back on.
Our Blue 83 Eagle gave us lots of trouble coming up from Little Rock, AR. It didn't want to start without a lot of hassel.
Jim has lots of pictures to post to show all the mechanics that solved the problem.
I am looking forward to a better trip going home than we had coming up.
We met lots of folks since we got here Wednesday and had lots of fun.
Thanks to all of you that help out on fixing our problem.
Thanks loads Brandon for all you done to make this meeting possiable and fun.
I hope everyone has a safe drive home.

I had several issues on Friday from my headlights going out, stereo going out, running out of gas, dead battery and realizing my car sits too high for the trailor I was borrowing to haul parts to the Meet. I didn't sleep Thur-Fri and arrived in Omaha about 11am on Friday. I grabbed the girls some food, changed clothes, picked up some parts for the session and then met up with everyone else about 1pm.... then we just hung out at Brandon's buddy's house (Kenny) for the day. Brandon got his headliner installed. Meping figured out her front end issues and HawkenEagle, Doug, Nathan and I did "Jurjen's Ignition Upgrade".... mostly we all just watched HawkenEagle. I did not notice much of a difference, but I'm not sure we finished it... waiting on a response from Jurjen.

We got some cool pics and some decent video. Hope to post soon.

I had a great time this weekend.  I am thankful to all who came out to join us.  I will gather up addresses as requested for us to send thank you notes to people who hosted us if you wish to.  I think the meet turned out well.  Well, lets see, my Eagle is running lots better than it has since the engine rebuild; I barely slept all weekend, I got to hang out with great people, got my headliner 90% installed and my Eagle hasn't stalled since Hawkeneagle worked on it.

Although we were on plan B (for Blinker Solvent) from the very start.  I downloaded all the pictures I have from the meet to photobucket.  Although I am not exactly sure how to load them on this thread the best.  There are 80 pictures.  No, J2Sax I have not loaded the video...

yet :)
