If I go, there is no way you are getting me to wear a bikini - well, there was that one time I did....

Yep, it's a 4 hour each way, but I used to travel to Pax River Naval Air Base for 3 years, so most of the trip should feel like a homecoming!
My situation with the 6th is that my family normally gets together on the Sunday prior to Labor day Monday. We leave Monday open for the friends picnics,
plus my birthday is always celebrated on the Sunday.. But don't let me be the stick in the mud, is anyone planning to attend the Ohio trip in the beginning of October with the PCA? If so, I will make every effort to attend..

A little more than an hour.
If you want we could meet up and go.


Well, I can't even make an event in my own damn backyard so I doubt I'll be able to cruise down for this. But man do I want to - really bad. Especially since Bob wants to "simulcast" with Darryl. Do you think he could get John Madden to do commentary with a telestrater (sp?)?!! On the very, very slim chance that I can go, I would leave PA around 6am and be down there mid morning. Would certainly be willing to meet. I would have to leave late afternoon to be back home at a reasonable hour. I'll keep you posted, but like I said, chances are it ain't gonna happen. unsure.gif mad.gif

Were in the same boat buddy.

Hopefully, we can see it on the Web cam. Skype is another free solution.

Add to the "to do" list...

The light is out on my thermometer...could someone help me replace the bulb that day?

If someone has a spare I will gladly pay you for it, or tell me what to bring.

TIA,

Jay

That's a fairly straighforward task, so I'm sure we can team up on it if we have to!! wink.gif


I may have those bulbs but I have to check. I think they are the same as the clock bulb and the BMW instrument cluster...I'll check PET, but if you can bring one along, it wouldn't hurt in case I don't have the correct ones.

OK, just under two weeks out...I'd like to get a "yea" or "nay" so I can begin compiling enough buckets, burgers and brews!

You can post a reply on this thread so all may see, but please also send me an e-mail to "email at odds and ends detailing dot com" - no spaces - and I can contact you directly with directions and such.

So far, I think we have:

94SilverCab
PorscheDude
Notre Dan
Johns_968

I'm also extending an invite to some Ferrari and Maserati guys, so play nice!

Yes, about time someone (other than my wife) asked that question....I figure we'll get going between 8 and 9. We'll go all day if need be as I think there may be a couple guys who need the lift for some minor items. Those who have a little bit of a journey can leave early enough for a mid morning 10:30ish arrival, so anytime is fine.
