Len and Johnny say they are going anyway. I probably will too. I refuse to let this weather control my life any longer.

The curse continues this is like a bad joke! I was 1/3 of my way there and the skys got BLACK toward R. Meadows and just had my vette detailed and couldn't stomach it getting stormed and maybe hailed on, b/c I don't have time to clean it, etc.
What a freaking joke, may jump in my DD driver just to hang out with you guys!

That's great Robert! 
I just missed you b/c when it cleared up in Elmhurst around 7PM I blasted up by Morettis and met some of the crew for a some beers and food and guess I just missed you. Turned out after the storm rolled in during prime time around 4:30 PMM it ended up being a nice night.

This pretty much sums up Rolling Meadows:
It did end up clearing and the crew had a good time sitting outside at Finn McCools down the street.

I might stop up there.. forecast looks good... I am close enough to where I can run home if I see something moving in. Might be hard to tell though today since it will be partyly cloudy. Game time Decison.
To Johnny's point... I bet you it has rained 12 out of the last 14 Friday;s! one of those it did not rain was the 4th of July.
This is fukn retarded. We wait all winter to enjoy our cars and then it rains every chance it can.
