Car Forum / Antique and Collectibles / Studebaker / August 2006Omaha
Well, as usual, my life is full of uncertainties. The new guy reports to work on the 5th of Sept... but, the commission extended my contract through the 15th, so that I can bring the new guy up to speed. Omaha has been an outside chance since I took the interim job. Now, it appears I may have as little as 8 days to prepare for the event. I had intended to spend the summer preparing myself and both Studes for the meet. However, with night meetings, 100+ degree temps, etc., that simply has not happened. It doesn't feel right, heading off to an International meet unprepared. Nonetheless, I registered tonight. Had to take a smoking room. YUCK! Registered both vehicles, but don't know yet that I can pull that off. Due to this year's theme, "Trucking to Omaha," I sure would like to haul the coupe there with the Transtar! Probably should have just booked a room, and drove a Brand X to Omaha. Much less work and stress! But, I'm an idiot! <G> I booked from Sunday the 24th through Friday the 29th, because it is possible that Milton Jones (South Central Zone Board Member) may not be able to make it. If he does not, I need to make the board meeting, as Zone representative. I hope Milton makes it... first and foremost, because that would mean his health has improved. Secondly, I would not have to leave home until Tuesday... which would allow for more prep time, and save several dollars. I have until the 22nd to back out, in case something goes south. I guess it's time to ask... who else is planning to make it to Omaha?  SignatureDave Lester Dave's Place Home of the Internationally Renowned Studebakers, 'Sheba and Goliath See pictures at www.davesplaceinc.com Life is too short to miss Studebaker Intl meets. I am stuck with a smoking room, too :-(. Will pack some air freshener, & room will most likely be tolerable after the first day or 2. Don't worry about perfection, just come & enjoy yourself. Make the bst preparations you can make without stressing yourself out- this is supposed to be fun. We will be glad to see you & your Studes just as you are. If getting everything perfectly prepared in advance of a meet were a big criteron with me, I wouldn't make a hell of a lot of meets! -- Barry'd in Studes 58 Packard Hawk 40 President 39 Coupe Exp. 59 DeLuxe 1/2 tn. 56 Packard "400" > Well, as usual, my life is full of uncertainties.

It should be mandantory that you bring the one ton... that truck showing up to visit me is what flung a cravin' on me for a truck! BTW, how is that youngster doing? SignatureDave Lester www.davesplaceinc.com Yea Dave I would like to bring the one ton but its not in the cards this time.As a matter of fact I have been thinking of selling it. I need to thin the herd. The only problem is I don't want to sell any of them. Randy is doing OK . He moved into town and is now on his own more or less.

I want to go to Omaha so bad... I even put my house up for sale <lol>... Then, of all things... The house sells with an August 31st closing date.... Moving a 13 year collection of Studebaker stuff (after the ten year collection got moved after that ten year collection got moved) is daunting. Just packing has become a full time job. Finding a place to live has also been a real estate roller coaster. I can't see just getting moved in and taking off for a 1400 mile road trip for a car show (I hate to phrase it that way, but I have to).. But, on the bright side, South Bend is only 10 months away!

Honestly, you will be past due, and in need of a break about that time. SignatureDave Lester www.davesplaceinc.com Hey Dave, come-on, just dust those ol' buggies off a little, take 'em to Omaha and give the rest of us a chance. Well you'd have to more than avoid prep work to give me a chance, now that I think about it. I like to remember Charlotte, when I met the guy that drove a '64 GT from Kentucky (I think). It had surface rust all over it and the interior needed help also, but when I wanted to borrow a timing light this was the fellow that helped me out. It takes all kinds to make the place interesting. Come and relax with the rest of us, just remember to where a hard hat after the hood is opened.

Dave, we plan to be there and have registered and booked a room last January at the host hotel. We won't be bringing a Studebaker this time except for my pocket watch. Save a small spot on one of your Stude's for me to DWG. (G) > Well, as usual, my life is full of uncertainties.

I am arriving mid-day on Monday and will leave sometime the next weekend. I lucked out and am staying with relatives that live not too far from the meet headquarters. Does anybody know about parking for those of us not staying at the meet hotel? Is anybody else going on the trip to Lincoln and Speedway Motors on Wednesday? Kinda hoping somebody I know is going at the same time. See ya'll there. Oh, and Dave. I'll be sorely disappointed if you don't make it.
