Cort, hang in there man, you're our rep for other clubs out there and we need you and your support for the MCF...
by the way I wasn't taking a nap either, I was ummmmmm, trying to get the pirate game on the TV in my hotel room......
I always look forward to your posts every couple weeks, thanks for being a great member here........![Congrats](https://montecarloforum.com/forum/images/smilies/congrats.gif)

And, um, trying to get the Pirates game on TV? You know they played that NIGHT, right, not during the afternoon? So ... what WERE you doing? Should I be asking what her name is?
![Wink](https://montecarloforum.com/forum/images/smilies/wink.gif)
Yes, yes it was ... but not nearly as much work as the captions I did for the ton of pictures I took during my September 2009 Route 66 trip...lol.
Too bad I didn't know about this rd trip of yours. You were within 3 mins of my house. East 94 in Minn. I'm 3 mins off of I 94. You could have stayed with us for the night. And seen my M/C & Chevelle. Then we could have gone to dinner. Maybe next time your in the area. Hope all goes well with your next trip. I went thru 2 cups of coffee reading & watching this. NICE..

I've NO idea why you didn't know about it either ... I posted about it on every forum we're both on, including this one. In fact, I posted the thread MONTHS in advance.... Here is the thread:
https://montecarloforum.com/forum/me...-us-%2A-26837/
It would've been cool to meet you, but I have family in the area, so I would've stayed with them anyway, as I did. I stayed with my cousin who hosted the swimming party that Justin stopped by....
It was great to finally meet you, too!
Thanks!

Cort, that is awesome man, how many dash plaques do you have? I've always wanted to make a thread on dash plaques. I wish you all the best with the upcoming surgery. It won't be long until we meet again, maybe, maybe.... in TN next year at the 2012 Monte Nats.....![Thumbsup](https://montecarloforum.com/forum/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)
Cort, by the way, I added another Monte to the family! I got me a 99 Z34 with 139k miles on it. I won it on e-bay, it's gonna be a winter ride/2nd car for now!

Hey Chris,
Congrats!
As far as how many dash plaques I have ... goodness, I couldn't even begin to count 'em...lol.![Smile](https://montecarloforum.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif)
And, thank you. Sure hope we meet up again someday.![Smile](https://montecarloforum.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif)

Time sure flies. It's now been 3 months since my 2011 road trip STARTED ... and I'm wishing I could be back on the road ... NOW.
