Weather supposed to be good next week with highs in low to mid 60’s and lows in 40s so remember to bring some warm clothes. Seminars are in a large tent so it can be a little chilly in the morning.

Did anyone hear that Bucee's is planning a Crossville Tn. location within the next 3 years, could you imagine if everyone at the ECR the year they opened went there to try and fuel up??? I wanted to go the new Daytona location on my way home from Florida but with the no semi signs didn't want to try my luck, went to Racetrack instead as they had the same price on diesel but it was a tight location and only could fuel up one tank

We'll try to have fun without you, but it won't be the same.  Just take care of Julie, and yourself.

The rally is winding down.  We had a summation gathering this morning, and tried to have a "yard sale" with a cold drizzle falling.

But, Carl and Donna did a great job of keeping most of us corralled and we had fun meeting up with old friends, and making new ones.  Lots of new faces here this year, dipping their collective toes in the pool and checking out trucks.

It's been a fun week, and it's ending too soon.

Where's Big Al the coffee man ?

Big Al is still in northeast Ohio. I hope someone stepped up and helped Carl with the coffee. I did miss all of you folks. 😎

I hope next year things will be back to normal. 

Is there a post rally going on ?

We want to thank Carl and Donna and everyone else that helped in making this years ECR a Great Success! We really had a good time and enjoyed meeting old friends and making some new ones. It was a bit chilly the last few days but we enjoyed it none the less. i also want to thank Chit (Never Easy) for helping find the ground issue I looked for 5 days. He found it in 40 minutes! The man is a Wizard!!! Pats Pride ran like a top coming home. it was a very enjoyable trip. Hope to see everyone next year.   Pat

Haven't been around much in the past two seasons, just now kind of getting a handle on all the changes in our lives. Doc's still have not conclusively decided what's causing the Parkinson's like symptoms and probably won't. Live wid it. 

Just wanted to thank everyone for the kindness shown to Paula and I and maybe we'll swing by the 2022 edition  of the rally and wave at everybody. The Toy Draggin is sold and living in Minnesota, and the XLR is sold and will live in eastern Kentucky. Sadly, our BorBooder Collie, Daisy, passed unexpectedly last year, but the good news is we now have BooBoo, a rescue mix with Pit, Beagle, Pekingese, and much, much more. He's a project.

Anyway, thanks for the kind thoughts

Paul and Paula

Hi Paul,

It is so good to hear from you. I hope you and Paula are doing good. It sounds like you have a project going on with the new dog. Sorry to hear about Daisy. Please keep posting. It nice to hear from you.

Paul,

I hope you and Paula will be able to swing by next spring and say hello. I'm sure all of us will miss Daisy. Reo still alerts every time she sees a Border Collie! Good luck with the new pup, with that pedigree you are in for a lot of fun and challenges. Take care and let us know if we can do anything to help.
