See you at BG!

Its not as bad as some of my buds here would lead you to believe as
there have been some great weather for local cruise nights that take place literally every night in Chicago, like tonight Monday, where I hit a car show with my brother (in Westchester, IL),and the last 3 Weds Nigths in Elmhurst, IL, and last Saturday night was great for Lombard, IL, cruise nights But fridays have been a FREAKING JOKE (although I believe the rain stayed away in Rolling Meadows this past friday can anyone confirm that)!

Looks like showers in the morning, but then clearing up by noon. Looks like we might finally get a Friday night at RM in.

Hey, guess what. It’s Friday and it’s raining! At least up here in Spring Grove. Hope it blows over in time for RM tonight. Maybe we need to sacrifice a goat or something???

I just looked at the radar, and it looks like a small band of showers from Madison to the SE. It looks like it will pass in a couple of hours.

TANK: What time ar eyou planning to head over there? Let me know.

I’m hoping to get there early (weather permitting), before 5:30. I’m shooting for the far west side of the lot (if it doesn’t rain). I can bring a few lawn chairs to save you guys some spots. I think you can do that till 6pm or something like that (precipitation prohibitive)? I still think we should chip in on a goat!
