I wish some of my friends would take advantage of the example I set and act with a little more dignity. I'm just sayin,

we would all be oscar the grouch if we followed your example :wink: :lol:
 
Kodiak, looks like I may hve to put ole Corky's Cub on the project list this year.

After running perfect all year, the ole boy started leaking antifreeze out of the overflow tube, and now he won't start at all. :big give up:

I've got a head gasket, an oil pan gasket, and (I think) a radiator gasket, so at least we'll take her apart and see what we can find.

Looking forward to it!!!

I hope I didn't confuse anyone in my earlier post about the "Turning & Burning". The best info I have at the current time is that the Turning & Burning has been cancled but the pottery will still be open their regular hours that Saturday. The Maysville Festival is a go as usual (this is where the parade is) so things there will as always :D The Turning & Burning was held for some 18 years and it looks like it is a casulity of the economic times :( The Maysville Festival has been going on for I think 34 or 35 years :shock: So if you were planning on riding in the parade load up the Cub and come on down !
We have several good projects lined up and I'm sure there will be lots of others that will get done that weekend. If the weather holds it will be like the last 4 years cool in the morning warming nicely by mid day. Looking foward to a Great weekend in about 3 weeks :{_}:

saw a segment on GA Backroads that include the gillsville pottery festival. hope to be there on thursday afternoon if that is ok with yall. looking forward to getting greasy and telling tall tales :D
 
Come on up, I'll be at the shop and Bob McCarthy should be here by then too. Maybe we can do a couple of small projects and ge things rolling for Friday :D
 
Ron, Rosie and I will be leaving Wednesday afternoon and stopping somewhere in Tennesse for the night. We will be at your place some time around eleven Tursday morning. We will plan out departure from Tennesee to avoid the Atlanta 500, I mean the Atlanta morning rush hour traffic.

Just out of curiosity, how long does it take to get from I-75 to Commerce during rush hour and what time does the traffic start getting bad?.

Also, what is the parade theme this year. I want to be sure I don't stand out by not dressing the part. :lol:
 
Bill,
The Atlanta rush hour last from about 7 am till about 8 pm :shock: It kinda lets up around 9am and gets heavy again around 3/3:00 but on Friday all bets are off :twisted:

Travel time: I assume you mean from I-75 around I-285 to I-85 north to Commerce exit? During rush hour(s) probably around 3/3 1/2 hours if its a normal rush hour :shock: Non rush hour hour and a half.

Should have parade info Monday, will post a update then.

Ron
 
Well, with those kind of travel times, I reckon we will roll in just before noon Thursday. See you all there.
 
Bill,
Look at taking highway 20 off I-75 about 30 to 40 miles outside Atlanta over to Highway 369. That will bring you all the way to Gainesville, Ga. It would cut quite a bit of time off your travels. Its a good state route and its not too hilly either, nice drive. I can give you the rest of the details if your interested? (about 12 more miles)

or if you wanted you could get off at exit 306 in adairville and take 140 t0 hwy 108, drive by my house (and wave) and keep going until you hit gainesville :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Actually, there would be a whole lot less traffic on this route, and some darn pretty country side along the way too! Phil, is that hwy 411/Fairmont out at 75?
 
it is exit 306 highway 140, off I-75 turn left and then you will cross over 411 then get to 108and turn left, then drive to gainesville. it is a lot less traffic and very pretty

i want to come up either 129 or 441. where do i hang a left to head west?

David, if you come up 441, follow it all the way up to interstate 85N, go one exit SOUTH to exit #147 and turn right. The follow the signs to Gillsville. Just before town, you'll see the white barrell with the IH on it at Kodiak's shop driveway on the left...

Safe travels!
 
Man this Corky guy gives some good directions for someone who hasn't been to my place from his house the same way twice :? :mrgreen:
