Have fun y'all. Sorry I couldn't be there.

OKIE-we sure do miss you. We certainly understand though.  I hope things start getting better for you real soon. 

Was at SDC Saturday (8/10). Met up with Duelist and his family. We all rode the train together.

I "FINALLY" rode OUTLAW RUN --- WEEEE HAAAAAA.  You all are positively right. There are no english words (or maybe any words in any language) that can truly describe it.  For those interested. I am about 5-10 and weigh about 240, with a 38-40" waist. I fit in the seat easily. I wiated about 45 minutes to get on. 

I met up with Sanddune last night. He found the attendance for SDC on Sat (8/10) for me. I will let him give the final numbers though.
Really enjoyed finally meeting Sanddune, Duelist, and Eagle 1 (Paige at Homestay).

Homestay is awesome. Anyone who hasnt visited Homestay, needs to. Paige is a fantastic host.

Cant wait to do it again.

1-The first time I rode "The Screamin Eagle" was with my Dad back in its first year.
2-Son & I rode "Batman" together for the first time
3-Son & I rode "The Boss" together for the first time.
4-Son & I rode "Mr. Freeze" together for the first time
5-Son & I rode "Superman" together for the first time
6-Son & I rode "Evil Knevil" together for the first time
______________________________________________
7-Dad & I rode FITH together for the first time
8-Son & I rode TNT together for the first time
9-Son & I rode "Buzzsaw Falls" together for the first time
10-Son & I rode "Powder Keg" together for the first time
11-Son * I rode "Wildfire" together for the first time

So the two of us riding "OR" together for the first time is real important to me.

OH YEAH-----Sanddune !!  Think nothing of it. I understood what all you was doing, afterall I was watching from the balcony above. You were indeed very busy.
You will certainly be at Paiges place again.  This was the first of (what I suspect) will be many stays for us at Homestay.  Im fairly certain we will get the opportunity to spend lots of time together in the future.  Especially now that I know who you are. I can likely pick you out in a crowd.  We will do things together I have no doubts.

Duelist----We all had a blast with your family.  Maybe we can plan a trip together also. We will stay with Paige during cooler weather, but we will likely take the camper out in the summer. We can camp at the Wilderness, you will be right close at your place.

HOW-DO !!  We need to meet up with you now.  We tried in March it just didnt work out, remember?  You too "GREEN TRAMS"

Heck Im ready to meet everyone.  "SWOOSH" Id love to hear some of your wisdom. "JUNIOR" Id love to learn some of your history.  I think we should try to plan an entire SDC FANS "reunion  Anybody up for that?

cheesehead57

Trying to get doctors appts. squared away. Might get to Branson around Sept 16 or 17 through maybe 28 or so. I won a prize from last years Branson Centennial contest and have to coordinate 2 nights stay at the Branson Hilton Promenade at The Landing and a stay at Homestay after that, also won show and attraction tickets for 4 people. My sister and hubs are planning to meet us in Branson too.Ought to be a fun visit if I can get everything planned with my sister.

Duelist

It was a great pleasure meeting Qwed and Sanddunerider and their families!  Always fun to hang around with those with the same obsessions as yourself!   ;D

Sanddune-When you gonna be there in OCT? Do you know yet?
We had planned on being at the Musicland Kampground (in our camper) over Labor Day Weekend.  However, we now have a bad wheel bearing on the Jeep. Ken & I (my son) tried to replace it Saturday. Literally threw the shaft of the armature out of the casing of my Impact Wrench--still did not loosen up the nut holding on the hub assy. So I will take it to his garage the first Friday in Sept. At least he can pour the heat to it up in the air, and Im sure it will loosen off fine then.

With this "MIS"adventure now. We have decided to just go campin over Labor Day at our Fav CG about 45 min from home. (The bearing is not that too awful bad yet-but why chance a 500+mile trip)

So now it looks like we are setting our sights to OCT. and of course Homestay. SOOOOO Sandune-you gonna be there in Oct?  When?  We can try to plan that weekend too.
