Big Thanks goes out to Joel

Along with Mike and Tim for taking care of this event, BUT Especially Joel due to the fact that he did a lot of leg work on this and didn't get to enjoy it. So I wanted to have a seperate thread just for Joel. THANK YOU JOEL!

Thanks to Joel, Mike, Tim and everyone who made it possible this year. Had a great time as always.

Indeed, Thanks go out to Joel in particular for doing so much, but not getting to enjoy the fruits of his own labors.

HEY JOEL... I kept the volume down!

Hope you are feeling better... Next time instead of battered shrimp, try the bearded clam.

/\ /\ now that's funny!

Joel: helping to plan Wagonfest and teaching everyone not to order seafood.



But seriously, thanks for all you did to help WF '11 and I'm sorry you couldn't be there to have seen it.

A big thanks to everyone to put lots of effort into WF11!

Hope you're feeling better Joel!

Sorry I crapped out on you guys but my day just went down the toilet from the moment I got up. Okay, enough with the puns...

Hey everybody, I am feeling better. Yes, stay away from the shrimp at Mac's. I enjoy seafood and have a hard time turning it down when my wife isn't around because she's not a fan. And you know, a number of you warned me "be careful what you eat at Mac's." Dumb choice on my part.

All day I kept trying to pull myself off the couch but everytime I went to get my shoes on or pack up a car part for somebody my stomach said NO. As the morning wore on I felt myself getting dehydrated. Doug F. (the tattoo'd guitar player who works in the medical field) recommended I get some Gatorade G2 to try to rehydrate and so my wife picked up some and I was able to sip it in. Unfortunately by evening time I was feeling better but still so weak that just wasn't going to happen. I tried playing trains with the kids on the family room floor as a test but couldn't do it for more than 10 minutes at a time. You have no idea how sad it was to be totally laid out only an hour away from something I'd been looking forward to for months!

If I may:
1. I'd like to thank Mike L. for picking up the slack. Additionally, running the meals is honestly probably the most involved part of the get-together. He also came up with the Watkins Glen idea, and I'd do that again in a heartbeat. He also got the schweet schwag that went into the chance auction. Mike, thank you!

2. I would like to publicly thank Doug F. (the tattoo'd guitar player) for stopping by and picking all of the meal money and paperwork and taking it out to the fest in the morning. Doug, that was a HUGE help.

Thanks everybody for coming and participating.

Thanks Joel, Mike, Michelle, Lisa, John S., Bewber and everyone who helped out!!....... Not to mention all of you Kooks who showed up!!! It was great.

Sorry Tim.

Sorry Tim.

how do you know you WEREN'T THERE!!! sniff.....

That is true. You could have gone above and beyond and had a nice dress.

I am sorry, sir.

Well then I gotta shave the legs..... I hate razor burn.........

Call up Dave and ask for tips. He's got experience with shears.


Baaaaaaaa..

Thanks again Joel, all the work, and none of the play... Next year it's a steady diet of dry toast for the last few days before the Fest.

Here's me getting my award

We need pics of the winner's cars. Like why did each one win?

Which one is you?

Keep in mind Mike won Best Sedan with a Chevy van. Maybe next time we should just say "non-wagon" on the trophy, as no sedans actually showed up. I voted for the old geezer guy driving the golf cart.

I believe Jay is JaySS

You are correct on the rest sir..... But a special note. Mike won the best sedan award for his Mini-Van.

... because they got the most votes, as voted by their fellow wagonfestering folks!

Luckily I was totally without scruples or moral value and voted for myself or Tim's "Not a Hot Rod or a Pot rod" would have won instead.

I would suspect there should already be pics of every winner including Mike's van in one of the two existing photo threads.
