NY Chapter???

Hey guys, I've been trying to reach Walt Koziarz - the former President of the New York Chapter. He's still a subscriber, but he hasn't been on the website much lately.



Do any of you know the status of the Central New York Turbo Diesel Owner's United group?



Is it still functioning? If so, who would you suggest I contact?



We're trying to update our Chapter information and find ways we can better support you guys in these Chapters.



Ideas? Email me at rpatton@ix.netcom.com.



Thanks guys.

Robin, I tried to e-mail twice and call a couple times, never got an answer. This was over a year ago. Since we started the "chat thread", I have never seen him post in it. I know he's posted in other forums, as I'm familiar with the name.

I've never heard of anyone else belonging to the CNYTDOU either.

[PToombs]

Nope, he didn't!



Turbo Tim, where are ya? Not been on in 2 weeks!

 

[DZink24]

lets pick!

saturdays 2/23 or 3/1? for a meet in pembroke ny. sunday 2/24 would be ok too, as long as it is a late start, im haulin' pepsi products from rochester to our new warehouse in gates. but i dont want to keep the out of towners here late on a sunday. sunday morning 3/2 would work for me too. whats everyones schedule look like? ive gotten a bite from a rochester guy over on dtr.

 

[PToombs]

23rd is out for me. Farm show is that weekend. I haven't been in a couple years and the boy is excited to go. 1st looks good.

 

[PToombs]

Dan!!! The natives are getting restless! We need a date! (not with me, you ninny!) :-laf

Don't worry about getting a lot of people, this is mostly for the dyno day setup.

 

[DZink24]

lets make a date on march 1. we can plan for late morning, get seated after the breakfast rush, so we can maybe get a booth or table big enough for maybe a dozen or so. i may even give the flyin j a ring, to see if it would be to our advantage to go and let them know there will be a decent sized group heading over.

 

[PToombs]

Calling is probably a good idea.

 

[DZink24]

what y'all think? maybe meet there by 10 or 11 am? or is that too early? not sure how much you guys like your sleep on a saturday:-laf

 

[PToombs]

Saturday? I'm walking in the diner at 7 am, sometimes I have to wait for Junior to unlock the door. :-laf

I think somewheres in there should work, business first, then food and BS.



Is anybody going near here? Can I get a ride, so I don't have to drive my gas guzzler? I might have a ride, not positive though.



Dan, is this off the exit? how about an addy, for mapquest?

 

[Turbo Tim 1]

I'm here Pete, the family and I went through the poop and pukes last weekend, we were all MIA including the 9 month old. Work has kept me busy and no I haven't gotten to the truck yet. We're trying to sell the wifes truck though, want to buy it? She's kinda short and having a tough time lifting the kid in there so she wants something lower. Oh well, that'll leave more opportunity for the 01

 

[PToombs]

Tim, good to hear from ya! Sorry you were sick, we had some of that here!

I'd love to have a newer bigger cab truck. I think it's out of my price range, over $175? Why not put running boards or Amp steps on it? I been trying to get mine to agree to a Megacab truck, but she wants a minivan! :{ Women, go figure!

Map of Flying J Travel Plaza, 8484 Alleghany Rd Corfu, NY by MapQuest



from the east- exit 48 A pembroke, lets off onto rte 77, (alleghany rd). after you go thru the toll booth, you'll come to a light at 77. turn right (south), you'll see the truck stop on the right (west side of the road)



if any of you have ever been to darien lakes theme park, this is the exit you most likely used.

 

[Diesel Dummie]

so its 3/1?

 

[DZink24]

yeah saturday 3-1

 

[DZink24]

i just called and made informal reservations with the restaurant for 3/1, for 10:30 am. i told them to expect in the area of 15 guys.

 

[PToombs]

Ya know, it's pretty sad when our leader don't even know what's going on! :-laf

 

[PToombs]

Dan, I thought this was in Rochester? Pembroke is Batavia!

I just swapped the map to aerial view, it shows a field there, no truckstop! :-laf

 

[Diesel Dummie]

hey pete do you wanna ride up, i believe we are gonna bring jims truck.
