I plan to leave the 495/290 interchange area in MA on Saturday about 11 am. Stopping on 84 in Vernon CT at Rein’s NY Style Deli for lunch on the way down.
If anyone feels like a group convoy.

Unfortunately I’m going to pass also. 
Forecast is for thunderstorms all day Saturday and all night Saturday night. Then more thunderstorms Sunday night driving home.
I ain’t delicate, but that’s a lot of rain. I can take the time and do some inside projects that need to get done. I’ll focus on the West River Westies trip next month!

well, forecast changed...surprise surprise
possible showers today (Saturday) and a quick shower overnight and its out by 1-2 am
dry and nice tomorrow (Sunday) might be a bit overcast but overall a decent day.
I'm packing now.
I mean, some of us remember tent city before it became a thing. Should be a typical LFBI weekend weather wise

A little rain is not a big deal (had great swap meets in days with light rain) and as others have said the weather guessers are saying better and better every forecast.
I am loaded and will be doing keys as always. Will be there bright and early in the morning. |

We just finished emptying the bus from catering a wedding.
First time I've bowed out on the afterparty so I can get some sleep as tomorrow will be way more fun!
