Ya, it's been a whirlwind here, we (HVAC) got real busy here in the last month. I forgot about the registration until my wife reminded me of MM. I even have to find the hotel where I booked myself for the weekend only. I'm not going to be able to make the whole week, but the weekend is better than nothing. Hope to see you all there.

Okay folks. Here is the itinerary for this year's May Madness.

Thanks Nancy! I owe you.:-laf

 

[w6pea]

Hope to make it next year hope you all have a great time. is there a way to come join in for the events on Saturday ?

 

[RVTRKN]

Yes, but you probably will have to pay for the whole week like I'm doing, you do get a T-shirt and all of the supporting literature. I couldn't get the week off, because in June, I'm taking a week off for boating.

 

[MMeier]

So, how goes it out there ?

 

[JLandry]

So, how goes it out there ?

More fun than a barrel of monkeys!

 

[MMeier]

Almost there any idea when a Blairs road trip starts ?

 

[JLandry]

Almost there any idea when a Blairs road trip starts ?

I'm told 10:00am PST. He's in site #221 and they should be departing from that general area.

 

[MMeier]

Are you going ? Be there in a few minutes with the '93.

 

[JLandry]

Are you going?

Nope. Someone has to stay here and answer questions... right? :-laf

 

[sag2]

So can you answer when we will arrive?

 

[JLandry]

So can you answer when we will arrive?

Yes.

I predict you'll arrive as soon as you get here.

Looking forward to seeing you again!

 

[RVTRKN]

So can you answer when we will arrive?

Hey sag2, I'd like to have a technical conversation with you on Saturday or Sunday about my 07 C&C, if it's possible.

 

[sag2]

Will be in sometime tomorrow. We blew a trailer tire 30 miles north of Bakersfield. I heard it blow, looked over at Diane and said man that sounded like a tire. No rubber in the mirrors and as I started to slow the TPM WENT off. Three the spare on and was trying to decide if I was going to stay in Bakersfield and get a tire for a spare. It was 7:30 when we got into town, stopped at Costco on the slight chance they had one. He had three, mounted one, took one and was out of there in 15 minutes. Don't think we lost a half hour for everything.
