Yeah, I gotta say no too.

Too much to fix and not enough time or money... :(

Im close enough that i cant help but make the trip, i dont see myself staying the full weekend, probably get in mid morning saturday. Then hopefully get to see and hear a few nice Birds and Cats hang with some nice folks through the evening and then jet back to work my usual sunday closing shift in the parts store. Whats the area like around the hotel you guys are booking at? If theres going to be any chance of tom-foolery i may come down and check in friday night

Serious blows have been dealt today. I got next weeks schedule at work before i left for lunch today. Ive gone from 36 hours a week to 6. And to top of my frustration when i get home to eat lunch I find a letter from the city giving me 7 days to park my car in the garage. Total BS that we pay someone out of our tax dollars to drive around neighborhoods every month and make sure everyones car moves. The car getting moved is not a big deal i could have it in the garage in 20 minutes if i chose.

...the big deal is finding a second or new job?? Im not giving up hope to make the trip, I will probably be camping though. Any good state parks close??? Not that it entirely matters the back seat of my Crown Vic is bigger than my couch.

I am a moron. I landed myself a half dozen tickets and a few hours in the slammer last night. I cant make the trip for sure now, i have court that week. Young cop on a power trip caught me terrorizing the town on my bike. I had to learn the hard way what those signs saying aircraft used for speed enforcement meant.

...i am quite ashamed of myself, my bike is impounded and on a hold, and the cop nailed me for resisting arrest, the kickstand is broken on the bike so i couldnt just step off of it so they ripped me off of it.
I wont try that one again, as the old saying goes you can out run the car you cant outrun the motorola,

im sure you could. but no one is forcing you to strap down and for those interested in a few pulls, there are different advantages to the dyno vs. a T&T night. just depends what you are lookin for.

plus of course the group of board members that will be there hanging around! :cheers:
