Title: Mini Michigan Tour
Post by: kbareit on January 20, 2013, 08:20:23 pm
This weekend I ran up to Michigan to pick up some stuff from Tim,MZNG B1U and Slider Bob. Tim had a phone booth and a popcorn dispenser I picked up and enjoyed meeting him and his son. I then went to Bob's to bring him a slider and pick up a couple Westy 60's and swap some parts. We went over to Kilroy's and got to check out his collection. All in all it was a great trip and the Mrs. and I enjoyed meeting a couple more members. Just wanted to thank them for having us over and hope to see them all again soon.

Ken...it was great seeing you and Kim yesterday.

You guys picked a good Michigan January day. Leonard and I swapped sliders today in Ohio, and it is bitter cold here now.

Thanks for making the trip!

Here are some pics of the Squirt clocks I got from Bob. I also have a telephone sign that Bob found for me when he found out I was buying a phone booth. I have more pics coming just having trouble getting them to down load.

Mission Beverage seemed to be primarily a West coast drink, so you may have more luck finding one the further west you go.

Ken,

Good to hear you made it back safely.  It was great to meet you and Kim.  Sorry gs, I meant to take a picture after we got things loaded on my end but forgot.

Two new honorary members of the Michigan Mafia.  Just remember, some day and that day may never come . . . .
