857 horse 2,581 #1 Posted November 3, 2016 (edited) OK.....this might sound ,,,uh ,,,,,any way,,,,,,,,I ask my wife,, if she wanted to go next year (2017) she has never went.......and she said yes...!!!!! This got my thought process started....... 1 I will make suttle changes to the Mash Pole,,,,if enough of you want it back....N,S,E,W.......looked ok to me....but sum Mash Pole sign owners had issue with just 4 places on the pole.... so,,,we're gonna fix that....... 2. I liked being able to put names with faces....im working on that......fixed really,,,,,just letting the clock tick... 3, I really dont like the folding chairs we bring ....they are really un comfy,,,,So i will find some old folding chairs like we grew up with....the legs dont poke thru the ground and you can take a better Nap....they are still out there ,,,,,just have to look.... 4, My tent got sprung in the wind this past year....I already have a new one...... 5,, I am started on my 867 resto already.....I have pics.....dis- assembly is on the camera.and .It looks like the 401-8 will stay home this year....and 2 85-somthings will come.... 6,,,,am i missssing anything???? 7,, i have a feeling,,,,the turn 2 in-field is going to be packed this year...Where else do you find a Trac Chair and Lawn Tractr cycles.?? Edited November 3, 2016 by 857 horse OH and Mash Pole SIGNS !!!!!!!! dont forget... 14 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Racinbob 10,293 #2 Posted November 3, 2016 Never too soon to start planning Howard. I say a definite yes on the mash pole. @stevasaurus has my sign and I'm looking forward to seeing it on the pole again and even more so, seeing everyone again. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

953 nut 51,751 #7 Posted November 4, 2016 I have the enhanced "Mash Pole Sign" ready to go. You do need a more comfortable chair Howard, almost missed your nap. 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wallfish 15,934 #10 Posted November 4, 2016 (edited) Howard's Mash Pole sign was a great idea and it certainly complimented the festive nature of the show. The club was even willing to store in their shed on site so it could be displayed again and again, so apparently they were very happy with it too. Unfortunately It kinda slipped my mind to make a sign for it while I was busy building a tractor but that won't happen again this year. Now that everyone saw it, It might be so popular that one will be needed for each corner of the infield. And you don't need a more comfy chair Howard. By the evidence presented, you'll end up missing more of the show! Edited November 4, 2016 by wallfish 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 38,947 #11 Posted November 4, 2016 I was going to say a more comfy chair may cause HOWWWAAARRRDDDD! to miss the entire show! Especially if he stays at the Comfort Inn and engages with the late night bench talk show 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

squonk 38,947 #17 Posted November 4, 2016 If you need my help settin up the pole Howard, you may need a heavier duty ladder this time. I don't think that one will survive another test! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AMC RULES 36,945 #18 Posted November 4, 2016 I think, back in the day...we had another "member" fall off a ladder... pretty sure, you don't want to do that at the big show. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
