Remeber those hooks in a car that people use to hang suits from when they got back from the cleaners, IV's hang from them just fine. You could also use your rear view mirror for an IV. See you at the show. :tounge: :Oo: :tounge: Larry. Title: Re: Chicago Show Thurs Night Post by: Slapshot42 on November 12, 2013, 09:13:08 am I'm busy feeding the baby, and changing dirty diapers!! :laugh: 8)

Title: Re: Chicago Show Thurs Night Post by: georgescustompaint on November 13, 2013, 08:36:04 am We arrived in St Charles late last night. Came a few days early because we have some friends to visit while we are here.
Drove though a nasty snow storm... but it is all cleared up now. The roads are good except... darnnnnnn they are STILL doing construction on E Main. St!!!!! Shane Title: Re: Chicago Show Thurs Night Post by: sc1101 on November 13, 2013, 09:25:41 am My master plan is set in motion. I purchased the wife a new vehicle only mere hours before I leave for the Chicago show. Now if that isn't my most brilliant plan ever! :biggrin:
Title: Re: Chicago Show Thurs Night Post by: Funtronics on November 13, 2013, 09:29:31 am Your good to go now. That just earned you the right to buy and bring home whatever you want. :biggrin:
Title: Re: Chicago Show Thurs Night Post by: MoonDawg on November 13, 2013, 09:40:20 am Seth, she may get behind the wheel and keep driving to Florida, not even miss you. :biggrin:

Quote Seth, she may get behind the wheel and keep driving to Florida, not even miss you. You may be right Glen. She could keep driving straight to Florida. I should give her a call and let her know there are a couple of machines I would like her to pick up while she's there. :biggrin:Title: Re: Chicago Show Thurs Night Post by: BONOVOX on November 14, 2013, 08:26:25 am Ahhhh white knuckle driving to get a machine... I`ve don't that WAY too many times to want to do that again... but I still do lol.
Safe driving guys! And post some pics for those of us that are tapped out or too far to head to the show :hopefull: :happydrinkers: Title: Re: Chicago Show Thurs Night Post by: MoonDawg on November 14, 2013, 10:15:32 am I remember my first trip. Flew to Chicago then drove to St. Charles to look for a room on the first night. Dumb :darn: all motels were full but every parking lot had trucks and trailers, many U-haul box trucks, pickup trucks and trailers packed full with machines, gas pumps, signs, some covered with tarps, others not.
Finally found a room 20 miles outside of town but couldn't sleep.........wondering what was under all those tarps :hopefull: Title: Re: Chicago Show Thurs Night Post by: davethebirdman on November 14, 2013, 10:42:13 am One day...

Title: Re: Chicago Show Thurs Night Post by: Larry on November 15, 2013, 12:44:32 am Well I got back home and I have to say that it was one of the best Portillo's get togethers that I have ever been to. I met a lot of new people, well actual I was able to put some new faces to some old names, and a lot of old acquaintances. Good times were had by all.
Thanks to Rod and Janet for their calendars. Very cool. I hope you all walk away with some treasures tomorrow. :hopefull: Title: Re: Chicago Show Thurs Night Post by: georgescustompaint on November 24, 2013, 09:40:30 pm We should take a better group shot picture next time... had this on my IPAD.
Title: Re: Chicago Show Thurs Night Post by: SIGNGUY on November 25, 2013, 05:25:47 pm We should take a better group shot picture next time... had this on my IPAD. I had that thought too,, was going to take just candids of small groups and let people comment on names and such, but my battery died and then got distracted talking to people and having fun... it was a great gathering.. I wish I could have spent more time with everyone..oh well, next time? |
