Pacific Northwest Meet, 4/14/07

[rowhard]

Jody, I totally understand, I drive a bus for a living so seat time isn't my favorite way to spend a day. But Hey, is there someplace in between you and Olympia that would work. Maybe we can talk those guys and gals north of me to drive that extra little bit like maybe Centralia or something. Or maybe you can oragize a Saturday meet your way for you and the OR VX's, I'd be up for that - John

[Baxman]

Well, I think I'm in, but it's not clear to me if it will be Saturday or Sunday, and wether we'll have free ribs or free back rubs

It's been my experience as organizer of two past PNW VX meets and countless trail runs, to just set the date, time, and place, because you won't be able to accomodate everyone. Thanks, John for working on this.

Saturday, April 21st looks like it would work for the majority... yes?

[wekilled]

Kpaske: Can we switch it to end of 2007? I think I will be back from Baghdad by then.

First restaurant I am hitting is either "The Rock" pizza in Tacoma, or a little hole in the wall Korean place in the international dist. (sorry, hungry right now).

Hey Doug, first weekend your free, bring a designated driver cause you ain't buying

[rowhard]

Okay, one and only change. April 21st in Olympia at the RAM. Why the Ram, it's easy to get to and there is a car wash close by for those of you that are like me. I''d run a car off the road to avoid a mud puddle, well almost.

[Bulldoggie]

I will be there.
I might bring my brother from Ca.

[kpaske]

Wow Doug, the end of 2007? Doesn't that make this almost a 2 year deployment?! On my first deployment to ***-Cracka-Stan we were extended on almost a week-by-week basis. The worst part for me was getting my hopes up that I'd be home soon. I only did four years, so I have a lot of respect for guys that can put up with the B.S. for so long. I don't think you'll be buying drinks for a LONG time my friend.

John, the RAM sounds great. It's on my calendar!!

Looks like I'm out, can't make it on the 21st.

[rowhard]

Baxman, truely sorry you can't make it, was looking forward to checking out your ride and the mods you have done.

BullDog, 2 kind of car washes close by. The quarter kind or one of them that you get dragged thru. It Ain't gone to rain, It ain't gone to rain, it better not rain. Wait, what am I saying, it always rains on the weekends in Washington.

[JAFO]

I will mark my calendar. Looking forward to the meet.

Yep, thats the one, just need to move that bubble with the letter A to the top of the roundabout right at the stub. Parking will be off to the left. Will try and get a designated area for us to park.

[Baxman]

Is the Ram "family-friendly" - can I bring my 14 y/o daughter?
