Thank You for your hospitality and great company, Don. I had a great time. The food was great, as always. The only thing I missed was the King of Obsolete's book(and underwear:eek: ). Thanks again-glen

Thanks Don,you are a great host and even finer person.Those that couldn't make it missed a great time.Met some really great people there.After walking through Dons shop I wondered how he ever made time for the BBQ.WOW,is all I can say.Speaking of WOW,got to see his jewel of a D8.A day well spent.

Don,

Glad to hear it went so well, So sorry to have missed it. Would have loved to see that D8 up close as well as the other machines scattered about. I see you sported a new (or very clean) set of whites for the occasion. Hope more pictures get shown here.

Hey Don,

Is that a top crank I see there on that D8 pony? I thought you were too old for that hand cranking stuff? You may remember that all my CATS (D4's, D6, CAT 12) have elctric starts, and I never use them. I perfer using the rope. I have bought a used D8 top crank setup and need to get that installed on my 8R. Must be fun.... )

Looks like everyone was havin a good time.Sorry I missed it.Got up at midnite to head north for the barbecue,thought I better check the weather as I had a 7 Hour drive each way.Didnt look like the weather was going to cooperate with my schedule so I thought I better pass as I had to have an excavator in L.A. for a Monday morning start.GOT BURNED BY THE WEATHER MAN AGAIN..John

Looks like you had a good time. Is this going to be an annual thing now Don? Maybe we could bring a convey next year or something. Thanks for posting, John

Thank you Don, Had a great time ! BBQ was great !

Thank toy again

It was fun! Thanks so much for your hospitality, and the 22!

I was great to put some faces to the screen names.

I slept in a bit, had breakfast in Gilroy then went 340 miles home with one quick stop. Damn LA traffic! Stopped on the 210...

Thanks Don, My Brother and I had a great time seeing some familiar and n:D ew faces. Food was great! Trying to talk my Brother into buying a 3J like I have.LOL Thanks again. Joe Giraud

Thanks Guys, it was my pleasure to put the BBQ on. Thanks to Bill Austin for spending 2 days with me here to get things ready. Thanks to Glen and Pat, Lori, Firecat Wayne,Janice, Pete, Dozerman51 and Syl for their help. Thanks to the people that brought a dish as well.
Always a pleasure to see you Gary, I don't think many people made into the shop. I guess I do have some work to do in there:D
John from Fresno, I ain't to old to crank the D8 I'm just to old crank it all day:D
D4E, hope we will see you next year.
John, I think this was the 4th year, plan on doing it again if there is still interest.
Al, not new whites, just clean. See you next year.
Eric, glad you made the trip.
Carl Sharp, glad you made it home with your prize 22. Enjoyed sitting around talking after the Q.
Joe, he'll get one sooner or later.
Thanks to all who made the effort to make the BBQ. Don
