kim - this has certainly been a long process for you - weren't you were talking about getting some sort of special pass 2 years ago?

here in the US, you can get a passport in a couple of days - you just have to book a flight and show the itinerary indicating that you need it

Private party eh?

[happysails2you]

Hi guys and gulls! Yes, I *am* still alive, despite rumors to the contrary. Have been over-tending my other hobby -- sailboats and racing them. (Spent the last year working on/restoring a friend's 31' cruising boat while racing on his other one, a fast 32' sportboat...in addition to starting my consulting business to pay for such habits) But enough about that. At the last minute, I decided to hop up to Hershey and although it was a very small group, we had fun. I'm just seriously bummed that I have an important race May 21-22 and won't be able to make it to Newtown. So sad I can't join you! It looks like a great event and format, Jay, and I'm sure everyone will love it. Thank you so much for putting a lot of work into it.

I'll post this topic as a new string, but thought I'd mention that I was thinking of doing another Annapolis get-together sometime this summer, and just learned that PCA Chesapeake Chapter is having its 50th Anniversary Celebration and car show in Annapolis on Sunday, June 18. Will create a separate new post about this and see who might be interested in coming to 'Crabtown' in June.

Cheers!

Jay,

I am planning on sending you the Dinner check on Monday, as discussed recently.

With only 2 weeks left to the event, it would great to know who else is planning to come. You can either do it here (callsigns) or send a participation list via email to all those planning to attend. Thanks!

OK, folks, down to the final stretch...

Checks for dinner are due to me no later than Saturday.

I laid out one of the 2 fun run routes on Saturday and it should be a blast! There are a large number of roads/bridges closed here from our long winter, so there will be some new and adventurous roads.

DAnderson is working on Route #2 and I will run it next weekend to check it out.

Looking forward to seeing you on Friday May 20th.

If you are planning on showing up, but haven't signed up for hotel or dinner could you let me know please...

Thanks,

Jay

i'm really looking forward to this - i've been incredibly swamped, but the break will be very welcome - the countryside there is beautiful this time of year, and it will be good to see old friends and make some new ones

I second that Bob only in my instance they will be all new friends. I meet Ben at Longpond on Saturday. Nice guy really good driver. Fun to watch!

Jay,

Our plans must be changed, thanks to our 2 grandchildren, who live with us! Die Frau and I will now be coming in for Saturday only and returning home that evening. It is about 110 miles to the Hotel and we should be there nlt 10am, possibly sooner.

What was I thinking, complete 2 Hasegawa 1:24 models in a few weeks! Well, the blue one is now done (my first model build, my son had built the ones I had) and I just primered the Yellow Turbo S (made out of a 968 CS model). For those who have never built a Hasegawa yet, you definitely will get better/wiser as you go. I will bring the 4 1:24th Models and the 3 1/2 1:43rd models to Newtown as promised. The yellow Starter 1:43 Turbo RS Le Mans version has been delayed and not sure when it will be finished by the fellow in Texas.

Anyone out there have an unbuilt Hasegawa 1:24 968 CS that they want to trade for either an unbuilt Hasegawa 968, 944 Turbo or 944 Turbo Racing? If yes, bring it to Newtown and we can swap. If not going to Newtown, send me an email.

Look forward to seeing all you 968ers on Saturday morning in Newtown!

Not going to happen. Can't get paperwork in place in time. Problem is really that I am just too busy to find time to go down to the local office and wait the requisite 3 hours to get it done there. See you next year.

[94SilverCab]

Start working on it now...you will be missed!

Regards,

Jay

Have a great time, all. I just can't get back from San Antonio in time to make the trip, what with the "honey-do makeup tasks" that will surely await. I've already been texted that both daughter's cars need fixing and the lawn mower won't start.

[Rap]

honeydo. Is that a northern new york fruit? !!!!!!!!!

[tamathumper]

Decidedly, and it is bitter-sweet. You look long and hard to find a woman with the right melons, and only too late do you realize that they're honey-do's.

[94SilverCab]

I find that the "yeah, yeah, yeah" method can work for up to 3 months...this can also be coupled with, "break everything you touch so that the repair costs 10X what it would have cost to have it done professionally in the first place"....eventually, I just hire someone....

Agreed, Jay. Why do yourself what you can pay someone else to do? Of course, that's how I get most of my detailing customers these days...

Allen, that stinks! Was looking forward to seeing you again and introducing you to our little family.

Kim, you need to get that pesky situation done with once and for all so you can play on this side of the border!

Everyone else.......see you next weekend!

[Kim]

Me? What?

[flash]

lol - no - i was talking about tama

Allen, I am the master of my Domain. I don't need no stinking honey do's. I just do what I'm told!!!

[tamathumper]

You've got "hand"?
