Signed up for a room and Rock-star parking.

Looks like Lois and I are in – looking forward to this one like always.

[billnparts]

Just over one week away. Timing issue has yet to be resolved. Pick an arrival time you want and I’ll adjust my departure time accordingly.

Looks like Lois is out due to lack of wives joining in – so solo.

Who else is now in?

Timing – I am going to take the day off so can meet you guys coming down from the north on 301 or other anytime you guys plan for…

Hope the weather holds out. Looks to be cooler next week

[HappyJack]

I’m in and should be drinking coffee with Roy on the Hilton patio overlooking the ocean waiting for you all to arrive — but in the mean time I have to hustle to get the front end (torque tubes, ball joints, etc) finished and a few miles of test drive on the new parts…

…Looking forward to seeing you all next Friday. (long range forecast is showing  63/70 partly couldy Friday and 64/72 partly cloudy Saturday!!)   Keep your long range fingers crossed…

Happy Jack

Ed, would meeting you in Linthicum Heights at 8:00 be ok?

Yeah, man, if you want to make it that early. That same gas station as last year?

[billnparts]

That’ll work. Maybe we can beat the beach traffic.

When you guys get a chance give me your ETA coming south my way and location to meet.

Could meet at the same diner but assume it will be earlier then lunch this time so we can beat the Friday night traffic?

 

[Paul Mossberg]

See you in VA Beach!

Safe travels everyone!

Jack

Drinking the rum and coffee will get you happy before we get there…

See you guys there

[billnparts]

Schu, I’m always up for another breakfast. If that diner is convenient for you, I’m in.

I’m  guessing around 10:00. Ed, does that sound right?

Sounds like the right ballpark.

[Dale Schumacher]

Ok

I will be there around 10:00.

I will post the the name and address when I get a chance. Slipping my mind at the moment.

If Bill and I meet at the Exxon just South of Baltimore [500 Progress Dr, Linthicum Heights, MD 21090] at 8 a.m. we should make Horne’s no earlier than 10:30 a.m.

Google makes it a 2:10 drive via 301 (the shortest route) and I very much doubt we’ll beat that, since it’s a busy road with construction and accidents, and at least one pit stop is likely.

VA Beach is another 2:20 from Horne’s So if we leave Horne’s at noon or a little after we should miss the worst of the traffic & pull into the hotel lot about 2:30-3 pm.

That’s High Tea time, I believe.

[Dale Schumacher]

OK

Sounds like a plan.

Hoping Dean can still make it with us or at least Saturday and come back Sunday morning – the more the merrier

Now hoping the weather cooperates

[Royal]

I called and asked to confirm that the show was still on for Saturday since there is a lot of flat ground out there and didn’t know about damage from Matthew.

Power is back on.  Crews are cleaning up.  The show is a “Go”..

See ya’ Sat!

[billnparts]

Roy, you will be there Friday, won’t you?

Dinner at Murphy’s.

Jack and I will be there.  We’ll probably get to the Inn mid afternoon.

[Paul Mossberg]

Thanks for checking Roy!

You’re a smart man!

Friday Night Viewing Party

This is pretty cool.

Friday October 14, at 8:51, Orbital Sciences will be launching a space station resupply mission from Wallups Island VA.

Should be a pretty cool view from the VA Beach boardwalk.

Darn. No more viewing party.

The launch is delayed until at least Sunday. A key tracking station is in Bermuda; and Bermuda is currently under threat from Hurricane Nicole.

Sunny and mid-60s forecast, all three days. What luck!

[Dale Schumacher]

Good deal!

See you guys around 10:30 tomorrow at the Horne’s in Port Royal.

I think you have my number and I believe I have both of yours.
