Who is going to the Carlise Show?

[1978 NYB]

Who is going to the Carlisle Show? I was wondering if the people attending would like to have a plan for communication like sharing cell phone numbers. Last year I was walking around trying to catch up with Dave and never did. I could of walked past him a hundred times and never knew it. I think it would be a bummer if we shared opinions, comments and humor all year on this forum and missed each other at the big show.

I agree and I'll be there! I guess the best way would be to start sending pm's with contact info. I'll start! PM sent.

[1978 NYB]

Dave, I'll have to look for the car...don't know what you look like.

 

[polara71]

Like I told Stan before some things are better off left alone...dont want to open myself up to the wrath of this board

 

[1978 NYB]

I guess if you come across a big Chrysler banana you'll know who it belongs to.

I'll be there as a spectator. Thinking all three days, but who knows, depends on how well I can walk after the first day. Will be there for sure on Friday.

I'll also make the last offer and deliver to Carlisle before I send them to the scrapper; I've got a set of high performance manifolds off the 67 I'll give to someone, they need the typical cracks repaired.

I plan on being there Friday and Saturday and hoping my neck/back hold up. Ultrasound treatments does wonders.

What happened to Sunday?


I never understood why the "older" people as I went through my life would say I cant do that anymore or thats too much this and too many that. As I rapidly get closer to my golden years I now know why and understand what they meant, and I am only 45.

 

[detmatt]

Thanks 1978 NYB, got it. I'll be there Thursday afternoon to Sunday morning.
Where do you all lodge?

I'm a little closer to the golden years...57. The 20 years that I served in Armored Calvary Regiments and Self Propelled Heavy Artillery Brigades is catching up with me physically. I just know by Sunday that I'll be lucky to be able to walk.

Matt, I PM'ed you with my lodging info.

 

[detmatt]

Great, got it. I'll let you know mine when I find out for sure, one of the other guys takes care of those arrangements. I remember from last year that there was an elevator and it was right near a highway exit. Not sure if we are staying or trying somewhere else but the reservations were made quite some time ago.

What is that a picture of??

What is that a picture of??

That is a M110A2 Self Propelled Howitzer (8 inch). Bore size is 203mm. That picture was a night shot and you saw the fireball it creates when it fires. Most accurate artillery piece in the world. It can put a 205 lb projecticle inside a garbage can at 20 kilometers every shot. The complete bullet comprises of a 205 lb projectile and 77 lbs of gunpowder and a 5 lb fuse and a primer the the size of a 12 guage shotgun shell. It is also nuclear capable. When Reagan told Gorbachev that "the U.S. would use tactical battlefield nukes in Europe", he was specifically talking about this Howitzer.
