The Show At Bieggs
I have posted pix of the Charlie Bieggs Carshow 2010. These pix were submitted by Ken Matthews. I will be getting up pix of the winners shortly.
The following was also submitted by Ken:
"To ALL
I would like to say "THANK YOU" to everyone that displayed their vehicles at "CARSHOW 2010" the official count is 174 vehicles.
There were many volunteers to thank for donating their time before, during, and after the show, it is their efforts that make it possible to be successful and have a good time while enjoying new and old friends gathered together for a good cause.
I want to thank all of the class sponsors and the many businesses that donated items for the raffle table and the silent auction.Of course, this show wouldn't have happened without the fine facilities and food provided by the Landing Restaurant and Charlie Beiggs Restaurant. When you patronize these establishments, mention the car show and thank them for hosting Carshow 2010.
It is a pleasure for me to be associated with so many nice people, Thank You everyone."
Ken Matthews"
[Editor's Note: I do have to say, however, that I did get some rumblings about the classes, particularly the Tri 5's, which is normally Chevys, but included all makes and models. Some found it hard to swallow that '57 Chevys would have to compete with '57 T-Birds etc.
In any case, the vast majority of the feedback has been positive. ]

Kiwanis - Standish
The weather could not have been better for a car show today. We attended the Kiwanis show. While it does still have a few kinks, the show is improving, despite a rocky start this year, having to reschedule on short notice.
The free coffee upon registration was VERY welcome!
It was only one ballot per vehicle, and no bicycles won trophies ;o) It was a perfect day for the remote control ski-planes as they flew aerobatics over the lake. There was even a remote airboat with Woody (of Toy Story fame) in the driver's seat. Unfortunately, Woody took a nosedive into the water and had to be rescued by boat. Chants of "Breathe, Woody, breathe" were heard across the beach. The owner gave Woody CPR - by squeezing his head, water squirted out his ears.
The Bonny Eagle Pep Band showed up late in the day and played for us. Not bad!
The major complaint was the classing structure, which was a bit strange and inadequate. But I have been assured that will be fixed next year.
All in all it was a laid-back, relaxing day and it seemed everyone had a good time.
Next weekend don't forget the show at Charlie Beigg's in Windham. This is the show that was at WalMart last year. And on Sunday I believe is the always great New Durham show.
The season is winding down, the weather is beginning to chill and once again I must soon begin wrestling with those Christmas lights...but first, I have to put the garden to bed for the season. This year we gave away over 500 cukes, 75 pounds of tomatoes and lots of green beans. The only things left in the garden are pumpkins, squash and about 50 pounds more of tomatoes.
Hope to see our friends again before the season is over. I have been asked to take photos at the Charlie Beigg show, and will post all the winners. Good luck!

OOB Cruise Pt 2
Kool.
It seems everyone had a great time at the 17th Annual OOB cruise, as usual. A tremendous number of great rides.
The high point of the afternoon was finally catching a glimpse of the famous "Little 'Ol Lady From Pasadena"...

OOB Cruise-In
I have been watching the weather and it appears that the weather will be nice, but cool, for the OOB cruise tomorrow night. We really enjoy the cruise - so much fabulous metal (and fiberglass :o).
On Saturday folks have a choice, depending on their preferences and the reasons they go to shows. On the one hand you have the OOB show - and it is big. Not particularly well run, as was painfully demonstrated last year, but big, nonetheless with a lot of great cars.
On the other hand you have the option of a smaller show in Standish - the Kiwanis Beach show, with entertainment. They, too did not demonstrate an ability to run things smoothly last year. However, of the two shows, the organizers of the Standish show were the only ones to say they were working to fix the problems and have a better show. OOB made no such overture, and there is no reason to expect it to be better this year.
For my money, I'll be going to the Kiwanis show, for two reasons:
1) They at least are making a stab at fixing problems, and
2) the cause they are raising money for is more charitable and not self-serving.
So, most of you I will see Friday nite at the cruise. And some of you, at least, we hope to see on Saturday. But whichever you choose, have fun, and good luck.

Maine Cars Are Great - The Gals Are Better
Courtesy of Dale Chasse...
THE DIFFERENCE IF YOU MARRY A Maine GIRL
The first man married a woman from North Carolina. He told her she was to do the dishes and house cleaning. It took a couple of days, but on the third day, he came home to see a clean house and dishes washed and put away.
The second man married a woman from Florida. He gave his wife orders she was to do all the cleaning, dishes and the cooking. The first day he didn't see any results, but the next day he saw it was better. By the third day, he saw his house was clean, the dishes were done and there was a huge dinner on the table.
The third man married a girl from Maine. He ordered her to keep the house clean, dishes washed, lawn mowed, laundry washed, and hot food on the table for every meal. He said the first day he didn't see anything, the second day he didn't see anything, but by the third day, some of the swelling had gone down and he could see a little out of his left eye, and his arm was healed enough that he could fix himself a sandwich and load the dishwasher. He still has some difficulty when he pees.
