Nor-Cal Get Together......NEXT SATURDAY! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**SactoJim** · 04-17-2009, 11:46 PM

Hey guys.......just a reminder!

I've been watching the extended weather forecast and yesterday it didn't look too good, but today they are forecasting partly cloudy.......So I'll just hold my breath and hope for the best.

I'll be out of town Wed.- Fri. and probably won't have access to the forum but will keep tabs into Tue night in case anybody has any questions or whatever.

Here's my cell in case anyone wants to contact me. (916) 276-5317.

Also....again, the map to the "get together" location is in my sig below and we are looking at about a 10 am start time.

thanks........Jim

**SactoJim** · 04-19-2009, 02:20 PM

Bump...

Weather forecast today.......I'm getting worried. I know these extended forecasts can be off but I fricken hope it doesn't rain.

Come late April the weather is pretty predictably nice here.....one of the reasons we focused on late April!

Go figure.

basemodel67 · 04-19-2009, 08:24 PM

Will the show still happen if the weather is sketchy? I hope so, cuz if not I have to go to a wedding. My father-in-law is an Indian spirit guide - I will see if I can get him to do a no-rain dance for us!

Well in your case, it will happen no matter what....wink wink!

Clouds I can handle, but if the forecast is rain, and it looks likely, I won't be too excited about having it.

Others please chime in with your thoughts.

SacramentoJoe · 04-20-2009, 09:55 PM

Okay, so today, it hit 94 degrees here in Roseville. The NWS is predicting a 15% chance of rain on Saturday. I am thinking that the 85% chance of clear weather will be directly over the get together.

I was wondering what I should bring, but now I know....an umbrella!

**El Jay** · 04-20-2009, 10:09 PM

IMHO, weather forecast out more than 3 days ain't nothin' more than a roll of the dice.

Me & my buddy, Bud, are going to be there; at least for a while.

I learned yesterday that there is also a show in our hometown, so I'm thinking of trying to catch both, know whuttuh mean, JellyBeam?

Painter D · 04-20-2009, 10:57 PM

You guys and your get togethers make me sick. Nobody ever does that stuff in DFW , that I'm aware of anyway. I'm jealous ,wish I could be there. Have fun.

**special-K** · 04-21-2009, 06:25 AM

Ditto^^

We get to watch our weather coming...and we get it!! I`ve stood on the bluff above the EEl River and watched storm front approach from the horizon,then just set there of the coast...all winter long. (remember 76/77?)

**SactoJim** · 04-21-2009, 11:05 AM

Some forecasts say rain and some say partly cloudy.

In a true democracy, we would vote for the cloudy day, but I think mother nature is like any politician, and will just give us whatever she wants no matter what the popular opinion may be!!!!

I'll be here at 10 either way on Saturday and hopefully we just get clouds!

Everyone avoid all your ritual raindancing until after Saturday please!

**SactoJim** · 04-22-2009, 12:14 AM

Forecast looking better tonight guys!

Leaving for Dallas first thing in the AM and will be back late Friday and won't have any computer time while I'm gone......so as mentioned in the first post of this thread, call me if you have any questions.

.....and see you all on Saturday.

Well, plant your butt in the driver's seat and get it up here!
You got time.

**John Fabris** · 04-22-2009, 04:01 PM

Cool. Washed the truck last night, still got to detail engine and Interior. Also, mananged to ruin one fender trim (rubbed it against garage door opening, DOH!!), so new one just arrived and will put that on.

hotrodhomi · 04-22-2009, 05:08 PM

weather channel shows sunny and 73 Deg. I'm making a mad scramble to finish the paint on my dash and get my window installed by Sat.

**KevsClassics** · 04-22-2009, 10:37 PM

I just talked to Rene, Ace and Mark G. We will all be there.

Ace's 72 Sub

Mark G's 68 Short Fleet

And Rene "C10king" Has not said which one of his fleet of show cars he will be bringing.

**SactoJim** · 04-23-2009, 01:40 PM

Mangaded to sneak to a computer in between meetings.

Weathers looking really good!

Looking forward to meeting all!!!!

**Ricks1971** · 04-23-2009, 08:35 PM

Going to try and make it.

70 net440 · 04-23-2009, 10:22 PM

We're not going to make it. I did see some *****in' trucks at Kool April Nites last weekend. Hope the weather holds out for you guys.

hotrodhomi · 04-24-2009, 12:49 AM

will be there with my heap

CG · 04-24-2009, 01:02 AM

Wow lotta really nice trucks are going to be there. Wish I could have gone down to this. Make sure you guys take lots of pics for the rest of the board so we can pretend like we were there.

Jerry Jones · 04-24-2009, 01:49 AM

Me and the boy will be there, with the same thoughts a El Jay, I might want to get back at a reasonable hour for another show in my "hood" (about 1/2 hour from my house).

Jerry Jones · 04-24-2009, 01:49 AM

Oh by the way what do I need to bring???

**Ricks1971** · 04-24-2009, 09:39 AM

Jerry! BRING BEER!

hotrodhomi · 04-24-2009, 11:40 AM

I think there is a Safeway right down the street if you need anything.

Sicmaro · 04-24-2009, 03:07 PM
