Welp, it's official. The wife surprised me this weekend with news of reservations at the Pheasant Run Resort aorund the same time frame as the Coin-op Show! This will be the first time it's been a family affair.

This trip will be for myself, my wife and my 12 year-old daughter. My two young boys, 2 and 10 mos., are staying with friends of the family for the duration. We'll get up to St. Charles on Wednesday evening so that I can make it to the Kane County Show Thursday morning. Then we'll spend the afternoon around town or downtown Chicago.

I'm just really stoked that my wife did this without any prompting...... Ok maybe just a little bit, but I only mentioned it a few times in passing! biggrin

I'm pretty excited! It's been 2 years since I've been and I really miss the 0400 wake-up on Friday morning!! I also miss going to the Kane County Show and complaing about how bad it was afterwards!! biggrin

What else do I miss.........

Oh yeah, I really miss seeing the Northern European guys sporting pink Chicago Bears stocking caps, you can't beat a bulk buy!

I also miss plastic totes filled with hard to find parts for super-cheap and passing them up because "I can get them later"
