Happy Morning To You,

We've got a bunch of cool events to pick from this weekend.  And all of them are linked below.

Also, we've been updating our

events calendar

 as organizers for the big annual shows lock in their dates.  And I'm happy to report that there are far-far fewer COVID-canceled shows this year.

Finally, it seems US Truckers are putting together a convoy and their plan is to drive right into Washington, DC.  I've linked to a couple of stories about that below.  And we'll continue to follow the story closely. 

Keep on truckin',
