OK, I just couldn't take it anymore! These winter doldrums and gray skies (and having a Crossfire in storage) are driving me nuts. I had to do something, so:

I made my reservations at the lodge this morning.

See y'all in April!

(I can't wait)

Valk not to be a kvetch but Gary is a guy and there for blue where as I am a gal and there for pink, in this completely outdated system of Bill's. So in order to correct this situation you need to make Gary blue as he is not a pink kinda guy last I checked. That is if you over look the WDC and the revelation that the "Garys" were gay.

Pray to what ever God or being or tree or rock you look too on the weather! I promised Gary (my husband) last spring "70 degree, sunny, tee shirts, a break from winter) yea right I forgot to mention the MONSOON we drove through to get there. Our car had never been in any rain up till then. After a while it became a joke. "Hey honey enjoying that spring weather?"

To the Florence, KY gang,

Last year we left the hotel at 8 am. I think we should shoot for the same time again. The hotel has a nice breakfast even if you don't stay there

Deal?

I need to know because another member would like to be there just to meet up with us, he is not making the trip because of other obligations..

We are meeting Ray and Susan (Osofast2) in Lexington so let me confirm that this departure time from Florence will work out for all of us.
I'd love to meet another member so hopefully timing will work out.
The earliest I had planned to leave was 7 am anyway.

If you guys leave Florence at 8:00 that will put you in Lexington at 9 to 9:30.

Last Fall, I left at 4:00 AM and came in just behind you (doing 130MPH from Lexington til mile marker 80). To meet you enroute, we would really need to leave at 3:00 AM and with the crowd we are building, that is likely not reasonable.

I would assume that Itsky, Crumpy, SharkO and myself will compose a later arrival to Fontana. Unless you all follow Gary through Knoxville again.

Franc, any chance your gang can come in Thursday night and stay over with the rest of them?

Just an idea. James

Cathy and I are somewhat flexible but Thursday is a critical day for us at work. Our annual FDA inspection. Sometimes good and easy, sometimes a long bummer.

Itsky will be coming in from Topeka Kansas that evening. He was pushing two more hours than he planned already. Another six hours might not sit well for him. Can't speak yet for Kell and company.

Good idea though.
