AUTO PARTS SWAP ’n SELL
New England’s Largest All Automotive Swap Meet!
350 Vendor Spaces – HEATED - INDOORS!
Date: Saturday & Sunday, January 16-17, 2010 – 8:00am – 5:00pm
Location: Eastern States Exposition Complex, 1305 Memorial Avenue, West Springfield, MA
Admission: $10.00
Autoparts Swap ‘N Sell is a traditional winter automotive swap meet. It was created by an automotive enthusiast for automotive car enthusiasts. This annual event is a tradition that attracts thousands on a yearly basis. Considered by many as the largest indoor event of its type with 350 vendor spaces.
Autoparts Swap ‘N Sell is for "hardcore automotive vendors". Everything automotive is welcome and remember, this event is held in "extreme weather", heated indoors.
I'm talking with VIP (Bus) tours; now I need to talk with you. If we can get 40 people, it will cost us $30 each. We can carry up to 55 and the price per person will drop as we get more passengers. This is open to members of all clubs, their families and friends. The day is Sunday, January 17th.
I'm not going to put my money on the line, so initially I'll ask for you just to contact me to tell me if you're going. That will give me the head count. If it’s a go, then I'll need money, but I think that can be held off until the first few days of January.
What else do you need to know? Leave Biddeford around 6:00am and Portsmouth around 6:45. I’ll make a pick-up time for Portland for anyone who’d like to leave from there. Food stop somewhere. Get to the Big E about 10:00. Leave about 2 or 2:30 and reverse the route?
So contact me now! How? See the below. Get me the initial head count. I'll then tell you if it's a go and we can start to collect money. Thanks.

Packin' It On
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving Day, and the beginning of the "Season Of Packing It On".
It will be different this year, in that Robin cannot eat anything with gluten anymore (no wheat products, and wheat is in almost EVERYTHING to some degree). And I am on low-sugar and low carbs. So, it will be a real challenge to put on a feast - but we'll work it out.
Working on the wood supply for 2011. Surprisingly, we have only used a cord so far this year, and we have not used any other fuel at all. Been heating since Labor day - and heating almost 24/7 for the last few weeks.
Outdoor Christmas lights go on tomorrow at dusk - not as many as usual, and I changed many lights over to the new low-wattage LCD ones.
Feeling a bit miffed - Obama pardoned the turkey today, and is sending him to Disneyland. Me, he taxes to death and sends me to the poor house. I guess I'm not the right kind of turkey.
I'm getting a real kick out of all those emails by the so-called climate scientists - you know, the ones a whistle-blower posted, showing how they rigged the research results that "prove" global warming. Strange how the "mainstream media" hasn't said a word about that. Well, not so strange, I guess...
Well, gotta go. Much to do to prep for tomorrow - pies to bake, etc. Our family wishes your family a very Happy Thanksgiving.
Bill, Robin & Criss

In Time For Christmas
I thought I would offer these up on HotKarz before putting them on eBay, because this might be something one of you might be interested in. If you or someone close to you is into moto-cross, (dirt biking) or running the woods on an ATV, I have two brand new ZAMP helmets, both size medium. Pix here.
I bought these when I bought our ATV's a couple years ago, but no one in this house is safety oriented, so they have never been used. They cost about $100 a pop (you can see them at
http://www.helmetcity.com/page/HC/CTGY/zampfc2 - $99.95 for colors or
http://www.powersports4less.com/detail.asp?PRODUCT_ID=TR-434700 - $85.95 for colors).
If anyone out there in Maine Car Land is interested, I'll let 'em go for $45 each, or $90 for the pair. But let me know at ptwoodycrew@aol.com before December 1 - if not sold by then, they go on eBay.

Together
The get together at Two Trails was a pleasant little affair, with about 15 folks showing up - some from as far Westbrook, Biddeford & Raymond. Ellie brought door prizes, bless her heart.
Next month, second Saturday of the month, 1 pm, we'll be doin' this again, only this time there will be a Yankee Swap for Christmas. Those who want to participate shopuld bring a $5-$10 wrapped gift, marked "MAN" or "WOMAN". We did this swap last year and it was a lot of fun you never know what you will end up with, but one thing is certain - you will take home some good memories, as well.
See ya then!

Don't Forget...
Don't forget - tomorrow at 1pm is the "brunch" for car folks at Two Trails Diner in Standish.
Weather has been rather nice for a change - too bad it won't last. I was even able to clean out my workshop, postponed over 5 years. It was SO bad it took 4 days to do it (workshop is 500 square feet). Resulted in a few hundred pounds of metals and 9 batteries to take to the scrap yard...
Someone asked how I could afford to put up outside Christmas lights this year, since the economy is so bad. My response: that is exactly why I MUST put them up. Whatever little I can do to brighten things a wee bit for others. I suspect there will be as lot fewer lights this year - and if Cap & Trade gets passed next year, that will put an end to Christmas lighting almost everywhere. Too bad...
For Bill G - gold is at $1115. Up 12% since we talked about it over the late summer. I love it! Now I can afford to run those Christmas lights :o)
From my family to yours, we wish you a very happy and fulfilling Thanksgiving.

Gathering
Many of you already know, so this is just a reminder:
One week from this Saturday, on November 14, at 1:00 pm there will be a gathering of car folk at Two Trails Diner (Rte 25 & 113, Standish) for "brunch", or whatever you call it when you have brunch in the afternoon :o)
The last gathering, on short notice, still resulted in a dozen fun folks, including Larry the Cable Guy (oops, sorry - I often confuse him with Larry the former Deputy Sheriff).
Hope to see you there. On the sad side, Ralph and Ulla are not expected this time, as they are planning to head south for the winter. It's not sad that they won't be there - what is sad is that I'm not headed south with them. Last year I hid in their trunk. After a week, I realized they took the other car.
