If anybody has any good tailgate stories or observations, drop 'em here.

Those of us who'd have loved to have been there but couldn't make it would enjoy and appreciate. :thumbsup:

 I made up an album of really over the years pictures with some HOF posters. You are not going to believe this - but a 6 AM - my battery went "Poof" - little cloud of smoke and everything.  Fire extinguisher within an arm's reach. The idiot light had kept telling me something all week about "conserving" battery power.

 

By the time AAA showed up - too late to head south. The nice tech "Steve:" said I was close to an eruption - one dead cell and Sulphur gas leaking. I never open the hood - I drive to the dealer and let them do it. Ford Explorer - 6 years old - 48000 miles - kept in a garage - I guess the battery had to speak up. Had to redo the front brakes too - once. Maintain your vehicles - I love FORD although their Stock sucks

 

Next attempt - October 1st.

People were asking where you were since you had signed up for a parking spot. I'm not sure if I still have a phone number for you.  The ones I have, one ends in 8587, the other in 2857.  Either of those right?

Damn, man.

Couldn't have happened on a Tuesday at 6pm, right?

They will mess with your business at the absolute worst time.
