Not even a mention of me?  Maybe I shouldn't have laughed when you requested help stripping your stripe.
Dang!  I knew I'd miss someone (probably many)...

Joe and Dee thanks as always for being the great and hospitable hosts you always are.  Great fun and good friends.  Hopefully you were still able to have some fun on your Birthday Annievarsery.  Too bad we can't have this kind of party more often, I miss you crazy peeps!!

Safe travels, and see you all next time.

For those of you who didn't know.  Saturday evening, late... Bobbwhy wasn't feeling good and had pain in his left arm.  Morfious (huge thanks) reacted right away and asked him the right questions to which he answered all wrong resulting in Excelsior and Deedle promptly driving him to ER where he was diagnosed and medevac by helicopter to the heart hospital in DC.  A few hours later, that had inserted a stint and he is now doing better. 

We cleaned out Bobbwhy's hotel and packed his car and Gentleman Jack is driving it back to his house with SHiNY following.  I spoke to Pam today and he will be in the hospital until Weds.  If you want to send cards, his address is below.  Convert the written numbers back, did this to protect it from being spammed by snail mail.

Joe and Dee,
 Thanks so much for letting us into your home again this year. I had a great time. Thanks also to all of the participants (How was that SA ?) for making this a fantastic event.
I made it home with only a few raindrops on the windshield. I can't wait to see you all again!!!!

I'm home and so is dog #2. I came home to a wonderful surprise... My old dog is snapping out of her disease! I'm so excited! Her head is permanently tilted and she has to relearn everything...steps, house layout, yard layout, but she is walking straight again!

Thanks to Dee and Joe once again for opening up your home and garage to us and for putting up with us! Thanks to everyone who worked on my car...Joe, GJ, SlyBob, Dave...I guess I'll include Bryan and Big Sal on that too and MoFo. Thanks to Shiny for the special raffle item! Thanks to the cooking crew! Thanks to MoFo for letting me get in his shorts Saturday night even though I left a big wet spot on them, and thanks to everyone who attended from near and far for making it so much fun!

Sorry for my yelling during the Iowa game! :(

Hope everyone makes it home safely including Bobbwhy! Get well soon abs don't do that again!!!

That works for me Wartie.

Kelu and Mmmmmm (Madalina for the rest of you) have boarded their flight and are now airborne.  Waiting for my flight back to central Hellinois.

Thanks to Joe, Dee, Joe, and Tim for letting about two dozen crazy people and myself come and hang out at their place for the weekend.

Thanks to all those that came and made the meet such a great get together, without you all GJ and I would probably still have a great time, we just would not be able to pick on you all (in person).

Monica and Elff thank you both so much.

Bobbwhy lets try and make cardiac mods a one time only mod meet event.  Get well soon.  You and Kelu need to make a pact to give up smoking, so that you might be as cool as Critter.

GJ thanks for the Guinness, go Blackhawks!

This was another extremely fun Mod Meet.

Thanks as always to the Barton's for their incredible hospitality.
I think this year, I got a lot more quality time with each of you and it was a blast.

We invented a new sport.
Pool crashing at the Holiday Inn!!
This is something we need to continue in the future.

To everyone else.
Insert any memorable quote, because we had so much fun.

Joe and Dee, you guys rock! I can't thank you enough for your gracious hospitality and I had a wonderful time just being reminded that our Kappa family is amazingly generous, kind, funny and talented not to mention insanely  :nuts: 

It was a pleasure to finally meet Kelu & Madalina, elff & Monica, Paul & little PD and of course her adorable cuteness, Baby Princess Aurora McKenna!

Sending prayers for Bobby's full recovery and am hoping he decides to let go of those cigs...

Chris and I got home a few hours ago ourselves. No line up at the border.   :yay:

What a blast. Joe and Dee, our hats go off to you both for allowing us to make your home all of ours for a few days every year. Words can't describe how we feel about the two of you. Thanks for all you have done for the community and we love you both. :ghug:

Gentleman Jack, thanks for the work you did working with Dave aligning my car. Had I known our cars could handle this well I would have driven your car a little harder when you and I took it for a spin when I was down your way. Gotta get the ZOK sway bars and lower this thing just a bit, not much though as the roads get nasty here.

Thanks Dave for showing your :censor:  the ropes.   :D

Tomatosoup, sorry I was so indecisive when deciding what do with the grab handle. Wanted to fix the thing but felt bad I was being so anal about a little rip in the covering that most can't even see. Thanks again my friend and if you make it to nationals next year I still owe you that drink.

Bobb wye, take care of yourself young fella. Give up the smokes, eat well and we'll see you at the next mod meet. How 'bout the Pononos!    :drool:

It was great to see everyone and hope we can do this again. I consider all of you best of friends.

Just trying to do my part...

Mods: Lose the chicklets, VentureShield, Dual horns, AfterShock spoiler, Weathershield cover, Lil Chromies, Red calipers with black Solstice stickers, Opel GT antenna and Solo GXP-RCD exhaust with a Solo hi-flow cat!

Thanks to the Bartons once again for the generous hosting.  It was great seeing you all again and some of you for the first time.  Even though I no longer have a kappa, I felt welcomed and "kinda" missed having mine.

To Bobby and Pam, get well and take care of each other!  Pam, the answer is "yes, now"!

Big Kudos for Morfius for the quick diagnosis and Reed for taking notice and letting EVERYONE know about Bobby.

Dave, thanks for the new tunes ( https://soundcloud.com/wick-it/wick-it-the-instigator-so-far ) as I am always up for new style music.

- How can Kelu score such a beautiful and charming wife?
Hey English boy, do you realize you just made a compliment to my wife which she will never hear about and in same time you called me almost not good enough for her??? On top of that you did it on the web when you could have done it in front of me, coward, you are french for me starting today  :barf2:

You and Kelu need to make a pact to give up smoking, so that you might be as cool as Critter.
Hey SmartA, except the fact I don't want to be as "cool" as Critter (no offence but I'm in a different style) I think that is a GREAT idea and I'm to it:
"CHALLENGE ACCEPTED" ... for the love of lil indian just let me know when we start ... nothing makes me feel better than helping people which I like.

Looks like I'm again the slowest on replying on this thread, I know, slowest racer ... Me & my wife had a GREAT time on this wonderful trip and the people around us made it AWESOME.

I can't express my happiness and my thankful to all people who took great care of us.

God bless you all.

Probably going to have to wait for Bobbwhy to get out of the hospital and start posting but I would guess this should start ASAP.
