Enter the Dragon!

[snowtrooper1966]

Greetings!
Well, today is the day!
My Dragon that I bought from forum member, DrDavid4u, arrived in Reno Friday night. It was going to be two to three more days if I waited for delivery to Mammoth, and possibly more depending on weather. My girlfriend volunteered to drive me out to get it, and I wanted to meet the Reno VX crew, so off we went.

Spent the night Fiday, and after little sleep, woke nfpgasmask up at 7am (sorry). He had pervious engagements, but gave me CrnCnn's phone number.
I called him at 7:15 (sorry as well) and he was very receptive to hear from me unsolicited. I asked if he wanted to meet me at the yard where my Dragon was waiting, and prehaps have breakfast afterward. He said he was up for that, and agreed to meet me at 9am.

I get to the yard, and see my Dragon waiting for me. It was surreal. After all the negotiating, and waiting, there it was!

Next thing I know, I see TWO VX's pulling in the driveway! CrnCnn had rousted Ascinder, and suddenly we had a mini meet going on! It was unreal seeing first hand people's reactions to not one, but three VX's mobbing down the street, my Dragon, CrnCnn's Astral and Ascinder's lifted Ironman.

At breakfast, they graciously answered all my newbie questions, and we had a blast getting to know each other.

Out into the parking lot, I figured it was a good time for a photo op:

No, we did not eat at the bar

I can't begin to express my gratitude and joy for these members and thier ladies to come meet a complete stranger and be part of my Dragon day at the drop of a hat. These members are a class act, and I just am sorry nfpgasmask couldn't make it.
I look forward to seeing them again soon. You guys have an open invitation to Mammoth anytime!
I can hook you up with a discount here at the Mammoth Mountain Inn, and lift tickets as well.
Best (day!)
