Hey IslandGuy,
Honestly, I'm not sure myself. Most car/truck shows get over about 3:00-4:00. Very cool that you are bringing the troops! My wife is following me in her car so she can run around if we need anything during the show. In the past, folks have all chipped in and she ran out and brought back pizza. Sam's has a pretty good deal on larges and it is not far away at all. Got the new driver's door window regulator in and a quad flash warning beacon (was already prewired for it) installed on the PLS today. Derrick may be out and bring one of his crane remotes with him so we can see if it is the correct model for the PLS crane. Matter of fact, my wife is on her way back from Sam's to pick up another 10 gallons of hydraulic oil so we can top off the reserve tank - what a gal! Am bringing a 25' sectional flagpole (and flag) that we usually bring to these things. Usually works great with the truck as an anchor/support. I'm going to try really hard to get there a little early to keep the truck from being a bit in the way of the event traffic. It's a bit of a wide alley that leads down to the south side of the park from Michigan Avenue and I think that it might be a little easier with fewer smaller cars around. Anyways, pretty excited to see everybody there! Dave.
