  • Sickness

    It's 2:34 in the morning at Chez SBG, and SBG is off to Portland to go to the huge swap meet that happens every year in April. Gates open at 7 am, 3 1/2 hour drive. As is normal, every year in April, the weather forecast is for 55 degrees, 2" of rain, 45 mph winds.

    SBG must be some kind of stupid, right?

      Other than the weather the concept sounds great to me. I'd have to wait for a warm, dry day. Maybe a swap in FL or AZ?

        for the first time in upteen years - I'm missing the big swap in columbus this spring - just too much going on and I don't have an urgent need for any parts - or any money to buy them with.

          I went 2 times a few yrs ago. The BEST swap I've ever attended. Too bad it's 950 miles, or I'd go every year. I like swaps lots more than shows! In fact, I go to "most" shows just to see if I can buy something.

              We DROVE! I think it took 13+ hours. What good's a swap without a truck, right? Between the 3 of us we filled 1/2 the bed.

                Just giving you a hard time, shipping quickly kills good deals on heavy parts.

                    I may have bought a part for a non existent project I bought a nearly new 4l80e 2wd transmission for 125. And it did rain as much as forecast. Tomorrow is supposed to be wilder. Good, less brave souls=great deals
