Message From the King:

I hope you all enjoyed the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, British Columbia (that's in Canada, for those of you who are wondering). I heard that they're having such a mild winter that they needed to truck in snow for the outdoor events. What's your least favorite sport?? I have 2. Ice Hockey, and Figure Skating. Fortunately, there's lots of other events to watch. I'm looking forward to Curling. I know it sounds like a stupid sport but you go ahead and try to get that stone into the bulls eye. Not as easy as it looks. Often thought about forming a curling team. But where to practice?? It's not like there's an ice rink right close by that's willing to donate some space for practices (and if there is, let me know. Maybe we can get a team together).

Well they say that March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb so let's see if that's the truth. Phil, PA's resident weather prognosticator (that's predictor, for those of you who don't have a dictionary in your head) says 6 more weeks of winter and I say, "Good, let it come. The more nasty weather we have now could only mean good things for our season." But I'm not willing to put money on it, after all, Mother Nature does have a mean streak in her. Hard to believe that in a few short weeks Daylight Saving Time begins which means 1 more hour of daylight (remember spring ahead and fall back?)!! Good. I was getting pretty sad with it getting dark around 6 PM. Shortly after that comes Spring (at last) with the return of the songbirds and the flowers and the green green grass. Not to mention our 2010 cruises. 1st Friday and 3rd Sunday at the Bowmanstown Rod & Gun Club, and of course Lucky Strokes Golf and Grille (mostly on the 3rd Wednesday, but sometimes on the second, just to keep you guessing). We have such a great time there, it's very nice to be there again. Thanks Dimitri!!
Hope you all are anxious to get your cars out and rip roaring around to all the great events in our area but before you do please please PLEASE do a safety check to your vehicle/s. After being asleep for all these months you know as well as I do that things happen during that slumber. Fittings loosen up, tires lose pressure, oil gets thick, gas gets thin, mice move in and create havoc. Basically just go over your car, top to bottom, inside and out and if you don't think you're qualified (like the person writing this page is) make sure you find a mechanic you can trust to go over everything for you.
If you haven't done so already, check out our events page. We're planning all sorts of fun things to do this year, some need attention from you. In August we're going to go to the Great Pottsville Cruise and anyone interested in going is responsible for sending in their own registration form, and in October we're heading up to Pocono Raceway for a fun day. So check out our events page for more info on that, also check out 877stockcar.com to book your reservation.
It doesn't look good for a "Cool Daddy" Cruise and Car Show in 2010. The economy stinks right now and, much as we'd like to dump some serious money into another one, we just can't count on breaking even (notice I didn't say make $$). Lord knows we all had a great time last year but we took a serious hit, a hit that'll take awhile to recover from. It seems that the worse the economy is, the tighter everyone hold on to their wallets (rightfully so). So maybe we'll make it an every other year event, maybe.
We're tossing around the idea of breaking down and holding monthly meetings (ugh). Personally I don't see why but that's just me, so stay tuned for an announcement. I suppose people do want to be a part of this and attending meetings might just be what they're looking for.
And now here are some holidays in March that may not be on your calendars;
It's irish American Heritage Month (makes sense, St Patrick's Day), and...
It's Music in our Schools Month (let's get Marilyn Manson to perform), and...
The 2nd week in March is Bubble Gum Week (let's all blow a great big bubble!)
March 1st is National Pig Day (do I smell bacon?)
March 5th is Multiple Personalities Day (Roses are red, Violets are blue, I'm schizophrenic, and so am I. Sorry, couldn't resist)
March 6th is National Dentist Day (I cab't febl by tonbe)
March 9th is Panic Day (AAAAAaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!!!!)
March 13th in 1781 William Herschel discovered Uranus (I can't... I just can't)
March 14th is Buzzard Day (tastes like chicken, not really)
March 17th the Rubber Band was invented in 1845 (finally, something to keep things neatly stacked)
March 20th is Big Bird's birthday (Can you tell me how to get, how to get to Sesame Street?)
March 21st is National Teen-Agers Day (and parents all over the world groan)
March 22nd is national Goof Off Day (gawrsh, fellers aheo aheo)
March 24th is Harry Houdini's Birthday (now you see him, now you don't)
March 26th is Make Up Your Own Holiday Day (okay, it's National Lone Wolf Day, everyone get out there and bite the mailman, but only if he/she's cute)
March 27th is National "Joe" Day. Everyone who hates their name can be called Joe this day (but what if your name is Joe?)
March 28th is Something On A Stick Day (hmmm, that gives me an idea)
March 29th Coca-Cola was invented in 1886 (made with real cocaine, touted as a 'cure-all' by side show medicine men all over the country. Puts an extra spring in your step)
March 30th is Doctor's Day (turn your head and cough)
And finally, March 31st is Tater Day (make Idaho proud, eat some taters)
Just some silly facts you may not have known.
