Well, I made it home without being buried in a shallow grave, and must tell you I had a great time. I have to say that this was the best bash I've ever been too, and it's all because of the "oldgas.com" site. In the last year many of us have been putting in our two cents worth, sharing found pump photos, and asking questions. This has caused many good friendships to form, and being able to meet those who contribute face to face was a great way to cement those friendships. I'd suggest that if you are one who just reads the posts but never puts themselves out there by throwing in your two cents, you are missing out! Here is a couple photos of fun times at Fred's.

Some of Fred's visible pumps. He must have had about 60 or so, all in different stages of restoration.

Hubba, stay away from that pump, it stinks!!!!!!!!!!! I hauled it 850 miles and the Freaking thing still stinks!!! Thought I could outrun the smell, no such luck! Looking forward to breakfast Tim.

Hey Tom, why haul it 600 miles, to sell it to a guy that lives two miles from you, then you have to haul it all the way back ,
Heres some more pictures from Fred's that Larry took.

Mike sold this great clock.

this pump is from the Reno area , its been to more bashes then most of you.

Heres a nise Signal sign

Buck,
TOO bad they are paper labels on ALL those GILMORE, INDIAN MC & MASTER OUTBOARD cans.

Talked to Bob VanGilder. Maybe when you call someone, you should ID yourself, instead of saying something STUPID. IF I don't know WHO is calling, I HANGE UP........

Dwaine, if you want some help installing the A-1 glass, call Tim! (Sorry Tim, I couldn't resist buddy!!!!) See you Sat A.M.!
