RMC List - Tune-Up Tribulations / RSVP Request

[JOHN DAWSON]

Eric:
This weather is CRAZY! I'm having second thoughts on my "I intend to be there" note of yesterday.
What was supposed to be rain is now "two inches of partly cloudy" with more yet to drop.
Apart from the tenth of a mile of a slippery quagmire that leads to Schakel Acres, I'm wondering about parking and then getting out again. Sure, I have a 4Runner that I could drive, but what's the point of that when it's supposed to be a drive and dine Corvair event?
Perhaps we might consider the following Sunday, May 5th (or another Sunday) as an alternate date?
 
Thanks so much for being the host of this event.

First the heads-up:  It’s supposed to rain tonight (Friday) through early Sunday morning, and our country estate is 1/10 of a mile from paved road. The last 1/10 has not had fresh aggregate installed for a couple of years, and promises to be a glutinous quagmire of mud on Sunday.

But if you’re like me, and drive the old stuff like it’s real, or would like to drive your real car to come out, hang around, and eat with a few die-hard loonies, well, we’ll be here.  What I would appreciate at this point is an RSVP from those who are going to brave the last 1/10 of a mile so we don’t end up with months of taco, taco, taco for dinner. And please, pass this message on to anyone who might not be on this mailing list.
