      Apparently some people do not have a sense of humor. If you have never judged with Mark or myself, you have missed a treat. Iffen ya can't make a little joke about yourself and those around you..........

            I live about 1.5 hours from BG. Last forecast I saw predicted a line of convective weather to push through around 0930 Thursday and a cold rain for a while after that. As Jerry said, should be OK for flight judging.

            I'm judging 83 interiors so, I'll try to remain clean.

              I hope you clean up your act before Dian and I have to spend 3 or 4 days, in close quarters, with you in June.

                    Mikey,

                    It's not too late to let the Canajun jokes start flying.

                    BTW, is it Canajun Geese or Canada Geese?

                      Never thought of it before and don't recall a prohibition against it but I guess you could take a pop-up and if weather comes in erect it over the car. Interior judging in the rain beats chassis judging in the rain.

                        First ever Regional for the SouthEast Chapter was on the lawn at Stone Mountain. It came one of those genuine "frog stanglers" during judging, complete with the boom-boom and bright lights. After judging was over the chassis judges looked like they had been mud wrestling with Donnally's hogs. Wet, muddy, you name it.

                            It's 'geeses' plural or 'geeseses' if there's just too many to count. In your case, that would be higher than 20 1/2.

                            Come think of it, given your professional life of sitting at the front of the bus, i wouldn't think any geeses at all would be funny.

                              Interior judging is not much better, just maybe not as messy. I have judged with owners holding umbrellas over the door so water would not enter the car, but it didn't keep it off my back. We used a pop-up tent at a chapter meet to partially cover the car, but it wasn't quite wide enough. Water pooled on top and the weight would periodically dump a load of water onto my lower back and legs. When I finished, I looked as if I had waded in the ocean with my jeans on.

                                The last time I asked to judge 83 cars they gave me your phone no. and said Mark is the only guy who knows 83's . you'll have to ask him. Is it time yet Mark??? I was wondering if you ever saw the new seat option for 83, Passenger side ejection seat,it was only activated from the drivers steering wheel,I can think of a few good reasons for that option. I hate rejection,and maybe my mother-in-law.
