A quotation from Jimmy Durante is the only way to begin this post.
After 352 posts it's time. I don't sell snake oil cures or miracle treatments, I don't discuss politics unless it has to do with our hobby. I have always tried to say it like it is and kept the faith through out the many postings that most have enjoyed since the start.
What I have done is give a point of view that sometimes went against the established train of thought. An opinion that went against some oppressive ideas on Car Shows and the way they should be run. We told stories with more characters than the cast of the Sopranos. We've made some friends and a few enemies who I'm sure will be glad to read this. But at all times writing the truth and with a truck load of integrity.
With the advent of the Social Media such as Twitter and Facebook and the instantaneous posting of comments from mobile aps and every gadget known, this Blog is old and Antiquated. It is time to put it to bed.
However it may come back if needed, without warning, at any moment.
I have really enjoyed my time here on the keyboard and especially enjoyed the comments and the greetings given for a good posting or even being called a son of a bitch and an asshole by the ones that were raked over the coals as it meant I made the point and it was sharp. Constantly pushing my opinion on others reminds me to much of someone else and thats not what this Blog was about. Besides I can always say it to their faces.
With that I say Goodnight.

This Week
We have a new show at the Cumberland Fair Grounds that is scheduled for Sunday. On Saturday at the same venue they are scheduling " Maine's Biggest Yard Sale ". Hopefully nobody gets there early and has their car sold.
C.H.O.P. Starts tonight and the weather is looking good for that. It does seem a little late in the season for it to start but as always Quality is much better than Quantity as Roy's is finding out with a virtual ghost town last week.
As we approach the Fathers Day weekend the call for assistance from the Club that was the Knucklebusters has gone out and they would like help parking cars and with other areas of the show. Step up and help as this in all likeliehood is the last one.
Via e-mail and a posting on the other guys blurb Cruise Maine Magazine's Kim Walker is asking for assistance in finding the owner of a vehicle with a registration plate that reads Elvis 32, That tells me 2 things, most likely it's a 1932 something and that registration at the Awsesome Auto and Bike Fest needs alot of work.

Bridgton
Let's start by saying the weather couldn't have been better. After that we could say the change of venue was a plus. The Coffee Mug/Thermos was an added surprise.
Then we would sound like the other guy and rip this show a new ass.
I had a good time, with old friends and a few new ones were made along the way.
That's what it should be about.
