    It is. I have to put in a water pump, timing belt, front seal and new belts and hoses. I could drive my work van, but a 8 miles to the gallon I don't think so. Perhaps the wife will lend me her car this Sunday.

    Freedomlover, I hope your wife lets you borrow the wheels! I'll probably be there this Sunday.

    Davedove, Yes, we've given Bill the address and the "you gotta join the group" speech. The "Big Dave" in the photo is not the same one that posts here with that handle. He just got his first kilt (USAK; Gunn tartan) and last night was I believe his second time kilted in public. It looks like he's thoroughly hooked, so I expect he'll join the board soon. Randy takes full blame for all of that.
    Bill was dining with another couple and it looks like the wife will be working on her husband to go kilted, so in the final analysis we may have scored a triple!

    That, I may be able to do.

    I'll have to see how I'm doing moneywise though. I've had to spend some of my Pennsic money already and that's not cricket.

    A question for you Asheville guys. Where would be a good place to park for the show that night? Thanks for the info.

    Mithral, I'll be happy to buy you a beer if that helps.

    JB, the best parking is directly across the street in the bank parking lot, but you'll need to be there early. Access to Jack's is also easy from Wall Street, which is the street behind the pub. Just walk through the restaurant called the Laughing Seed. Parking usually loosens up in that area, and around the Grove Arcade building, about 5:00 as most of the local businesses close then.
    Parking is a bit of a challenge in Asheville. Come early and be prepared to walk a bit. But, hey, there's nothing like stolling around downtown Asheville in a kilt...you'll not be the most unusually dressed person there, I guarantee!

    Also remember that Jack's serves great food. Another good reason to get there early.

    I'll see if my friend is interested, hopefully he'll have recovered by then.
