most impressive thing I saw this weekend.......

[Pistol Pete]

I had a nametag on for maybe 10 minutes.
They don't do well with perspiration.

Well then don't put it on your forehead silly.

Shirts with your FBB0 handle on it?

everyone wearing "eldubb440" on their shirt won't help

I kept some clear plastic name tag holders from my corporate days, and use one when I'm in the tent. I'll bring the rest next year, and give them out.

I still have a few of the original issue FBBO shirts. Amazing to me how they shrunk all on their own in the closet.

OK, no doubt we need better name tags.
Maybe a tag that hangs around people's necks like some of the badges people have? This could be instead of the dreaded green wrist band. When you sign up, you get your name tag. This gets you recognized PLUS gets you lunch!
Edit - I missed Adam's post above. But agree these would work great and what I had in mind with what I wrote at first. Hopefully we can buy them pretty cheap?

Oh boy, here we go!

I find it impressive that the things that many of us found most impressive were the people at the show and not the cars themselves!
The cars are great but it is the people that make the events worth attending.

I'm not sure of the initial cost, but they last forever. When I was attending conferences ten years ago, they started collecting them at the end of the event and reused them. The stash I kept is from the 90s, when everybody threw them away when the last meeting was over.

the cars are secondary, no doubt

but it's the cars that bring everyone together.......can't have one without the other

I must have 10-15 lanyards from various conferences over the last few yeas.

You gotta love these garden carts though. Strap a bunch of bungee cords on it and haul anything. This thing has hauled everything from radiators to fenders.

 

[Geetex]

I have 350+ days to figgur it out .......

These should keep them in place.

Remember back in the 90s, the “urban” types would give props to those that earned their respect? (MTV culture)
The crew remembered last year when Mark/Richard Cranium wondered why there wasn’t any Prime Rib or Lobster AND lo and behold, the FBBO underlords made it so…. But just for Mark. It must be good to be king.
Don Frelier was there… a few years ago he helped me out by putting me in contact with his brother. I got a used cam with matched lifters and so far, Jigsaw is still running great. I wish I would have written down all the members that I spoke with. Hawk and Pete donated most of their time making the event a great thing. I don’t even know if they had any time to walk the cars or parts. I wasn’t there to buy parts but I am a junkyard dog at heart so I had to look. Mary was a great companion but as I saw her wilt and sweat, I just couldn’t push her any further. Nobody was renting Radio Flyer wagons so I couldn’t just drag her around. We spent as much time in the tent as the show field. I would have liked to walk the show cars more but the guys in the tent were fun to hang out with.
If you guys were jerks, if you smelled bad or were really ugly it would have made it easier to stay away from the tent and see more of the show.
Today as I’m out in the back yard, I thought of how as kids, our parents guilted us into eating our vegetables by telling us there are kids starving in China ! By that, I mean that despite 100 degree temps, I had to get out there to do some things. So, I’m out back and it is hot, but….

You guys know that I mentioned numerous times that I had gained a newfound respect for how tough you are to deal with your humidity. I absolutely mean that.
Have you ever spent time where the humidity is this low?
I felt quite blessed as I walked around out back. The cost of this drier climate is that we don’t have that beautiful green grass everywhere that you do this time of year.
Cheers.

our summer weather pattern here usually goes as follows........ a string of nice summer days build a little more humidity each day until a cold front comes through and sweeps it all away; usually with a line of heavy thunderstorms...... and it starts over.

but there are times such as now where things seem to get "stuck"...... a nice cold front is a bit over due and would be greatly appreciated

Labor Day thru Thanksgiving is outstanding in these parts........best 3 months of the year IMO.

Spring can be very nice also, but this year was very wet; and then it got hot
