He said there was some coverage but not all.  Garage door and his wife's car, I believe were covered.  He didn't give me all the details.

2.    The few who learn by observation.
3.    The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves.    Will Rogers

Time for another overhaulin' at Whodeanies? If anybody deserves it, Don H does.

Already offered some needed parts for his restoration/overhaul. Ashby should be picking them up soon.

Guys and Gals, the news for the parade isn't good.  I've been swapping emails and faxes with the Chairman of the parade all afternoon.  It seems that they didn't get our faxed application, even though it was faxed twice.  They said that our fax was the only one they didn't receive.  When I didn't get notice of acceptance, I emailed and was told they hadn't received it.  They allowed me to re-fax, even after the deadline.  Ed Moran worked hard to get us in but we were denied, even after I gave them a copy of my fax log with their fax number clearly indicating it was sent a week prior to deadline.  Below is a copy of his email.

CHARLES, BAD NEWS!

I WAS JUST INFORMED THE LINEUP HAS BEEN FINALIZED AND APPROVED.

THE GEORGIA FIERO CLUB WILL HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL 2013 TO APPLY TO MARCH IN THE PARADE.

I AM SO SORRY FOR THE MISUNDERSTANDING.

MOST SINCERELY AND WITH DEEPEST APOLOGIES.

Maybe we could all get together and go on a day cruise.

Hoover Dam? ;D
 
We are game for pretty much anywhere

I'm game.

I like the Helen idea for March 17.  I'm sure they'll be serving plenty of green beer and green margaritas.  Maybe to accommodate the folks on the western side of town, we could meet up around Roswell or at Dewey's house   ;D  for breakfast.

I can set up a scenic route to get there.

That really sucks @the parade :(.

Helen? Haven't we all been there already? In my yes it's a tourist trap, way over priced and overrated.
Isn't there anything else in GA worth seeing?

FieroFool and I checked the Microcar Museum in Madison; it's closed for renovations until this summer.

It is absolutely worth putting at the top of our To-Do List, though!

I like the idea of us being in a 4th of July parade...

Well, the St. Pat's Parade is dead and we're getting off the subject of the thread.  Can I suggest we go to our What Would You Like To Do thread and throw around some more suggestions there?  Posters, bring the ideas you've already posted over there and re post.
