Wow, this is going to be a lot of fun, it's going to be awesome to meet so many members but I will caution, please don't go out of your way if it burdens you or your family in any way.

Thanks, Cory

Cory,
We would only be "going out of our way" if we wanted to avoid this opportunity. But we know what you're saying, so I cancelled the Budweiser Clydesdales, Blue Angels, '60's rock concert, carnival rides and vendors. I then pulled the major network advertising and returned all the monies from tickets sold...

So now, it should indeed be a lot more fun ;-)

Oh Tim, you didn't cancel all the carnival rides did you??? I was looking foreward to the Merry-go-Round :sad:

Ron, a carvan up to Tim's place sounds like a good idea, so you keep working on Neil :wink:

Neil, isn't it time for you to make another trip out this way :grin:

Cory, can't wait to see you at the end of the month!!!

Just ck'd on air travel to SFO:
I can book a flight into SFO on Fri, 9-25, arriving @ 9:30 PM local time.
Enterprise has offered me a VIP rental car (we use them @ my airport).
Would plan to drive to Grass Valley Sat morning.
Stay in Grass Valley Sat & Sun nights.
Drive back to SFO Mon morning.

Does this fit for everyone else's schedule?

September 26 & 27 Rob.

Rhonda, If not Neil, there's a daily "Z" train that leaves Chicago for here. Call me from your cell when you make it to North Patte and I'll tell you which one to board from there!

Jump immediately after going through the tunnel pictured below. We'll be waiting!

J u s t k i d d i n g . . .

Truth is. we used to love hopping freights. My older brother told Mom he was going camping one weekend & was gone for four days... When he returned - she asked where he had gone. His response: "Oh, you'll find out..." A day later, she received a blank postcard from Ogden Utah.

Atlanta? I could do that, what would a ticket for that cost? :cheesy:

...Seriously Rhonda? That would be cool!
You were "Queen on the Welcoming Committee" when I signed up in '05. Have enjoyed many laughs and intrigue since :) More red carpet on order!

Cory, I just received word my books were shipped from St Louis, MO. Can't wait!!!!!!
