Crickets

The title seems to be the new catch phrase for this year, meaning quiet or nothing is happening as in " All you can hear are crickets".

But such is not the case as the Christmas season is upon us and let the mayhem begin with what is also known as the Christmas Party Season. Starting out with  the Rods & Kustom Cruisers humorously raunchy Yankee swap with inflatable wives, morphidites and oral gel and a narration of "historic proportions", you could say that a change of under garment from laughter would be in order.

Then you shift gears into a little higher brow humor and the Road Scholars Traveling Circus gave us a toilet paper dispenser, meditation rocks with fountain to promote your inner health and frequent urination and a fucking dancing Elf that pisses off the cat.

Other gatherings will pale in comparison.

On the News front are these little tid bits. A new director is being put into place at Owl's Head Transportation Museum. This could be a good thing as hopefully a better kinship with the hobby and its members would help us both.

Rods & Kustoms has a tentative date for their Rod Run in June and Tentative is the key word. Seems they are playing with another date that might be better in breaking up that clusterfuck of last year with the triad of Windham Togus Fryeburg on the same day. We'll keep you posted.

The date has not been set yet for the All Clubs Social but it is in the work according to the Rusty Nuts. Feburary is the month and in all likelyhood bath will be the place. On that note Cruise Maine has sent out an early e-mailing with notice for your club page and events.

No news on the Cruise Maine Crunch-o-Rama and the new owner of Oxford Plains Speedway getting their respective shit together on the future of events at that venue. Hopefully certain employees are no longer with that organization.

Rumor has it that a couple of clubs are trying to sit down with Maine Oxy to improve the venue and quality of that show. That would be good thing.

Bringing up the rear as usual is the Gray/New Gloucester Lions Car Show and the community fair that goes with it. Word has come to me from one of the Lions that the entire affair will be held on the Saturday of the last weekend of August. As it stands that should not interfere with any shows in the area, but you never know. Hopefully it will be warmer.
