Aberdeen 2010
Just got back from my first Aberdeen and it was a blast. Met new friends, good fellowship, learned a lot about 151's including my owe, spent quality time with my son, what more could one want for the weekend Photos to follow:
Some mutts on display
Mr & Mrs Rick F and his 151 (what a job Rick did to get his mutt ready, the rework looked like new!) (Happy Birthday Rick!)
Jim Diamond and his killer Tow A2 (I thought this was the most authentic 151there, looked like it drove in from Desert Storm)

Re: Aberdeen 2010
I will put up a couple of pictures tonight but the rest will have to wait until tomorrow. Not feeling too well. Got slammed in the judging area this year, more vehicles to be judged than I can ever remember. The A1 you see me judging was almost perfect. I remember when this was sold it was in real bad shape. In one year it is almost a 300 score!
Here is that A1 next to mine.
Another shot
This one the detail was as good or better but some of the finish was off a little. He was in motor pool class where the other was in Factory so they both made out.
This ought to give some of you flashbacks!
Matt, this was when it was illegally parked in a fire zone.
We made him lift off and move over ten feet.
Dinnertime and no he was sitting, not s**itting, wife had bad timing on the shutter.
Left to right, Ian and Clell Smith and Jim Diamond
Host and head cook, Cabell Garbee, Reclining. Thanks for the great dinner Cabell.
I want one!
And the hauler to go with it. Privateer with a contract to haul for the government. SWEET JOB!
Now I have heard it said that I spoil my dog, I will show that I do not.
Oh yea, Someone wanted a day after pic, here you go.
The thing is that I would have felt better with a hangover! My back was in really bad shape after carrying my welding bench into the garage and stepping in a hole while doing so.
I will post some more pics in the near future.

Re: Aberdeen 2010
Hey Rick,
Great pictures of the event and the dinner.
As for the timing of your wife's shutter,..
"That dog's not sitting, it's s*itting, look at that big turd right behind it holding a beer ! "
Thanks Mrs. F
