Construction projects never hit delays, do they?

There was a member from CA who was planning a loop around the OP…hope he got it done by now. Edit, @Russell did you have a good trip or not yet?

Always a solid move.

Yeah that’s why we decided to skip the fair this year. Even with free admission, taking a family to the Puyallup fair is awfully hard on the ol’ wallet, from parking to rides to food.

It’s not all solid gold like the early years but every now and then a gem pops up to the surface.
