Canuck

LOL. OK, we could have steak, ribs and veggie lasagna as the three choices. That has a good range of price so people can meet their budgets.

How a differential works. Pretty hard to explain it any better

I'm working out the details with the Restaurant for the Saturday evening banquet. For the large group, we cannot simply order anything off the menu. We will have a limited menu of a few entrees. I figure we need at least one vegetarian dish and two other dishes. See the menu below and offer your suggestions. http://www.cousinsthedalles.com/images/pdf/Cousins_TheDalles_FullMenu.pdf I was thinking Baby Back Ribs Fish & Chips Vegetarian Lasagna I'm still working out the details on how many entrees we are limited to.

Great, thanks for letting me know.

For those who are staying at The Dalles Inn, I have arranged for the hotel to block off an area of the parking lot just for us. There is less worry about door dings this way. If you choose to park directly in front of your room instead, that will be OK too.

AD= after death... just wanted to be sure on the date, LOL.

Yes, it is Thursday, August 12th, 2010 AD Just want to be sure.

A few more details regarding the meeting place: From I5, take the 38th street exit and go West on 38th street. Take a left on S. Steele St. Make a left onto Tacoma Mall Blvd. Follow Tacoma Mall Blvd until you get to Krispy Kreme (right near Sears).

PEOPLE WITH TRAILERS The place who is providing trailer parking has requested that you provide a photocopy of your trailer insurance papers. Please bring an extra copy with you to the meet. If for some reason you forget to make the copy, I'm certain we can find a place locally to make a copy (maybe even the hotel).

I don't use anything, I just keep it clean (soap and water). It is stored in the garage all the time and rarely gets out in the rain.

My spare is placed upside down like the stock setup. I put spare belts and heater hoses in the rim and put a colour keyed hub cap (I have a set of them) on the rim to hide it. It makes it look pretty clean in the trunk. I even made sure to mount the tire with the letters in so they are visible when the tire is in the trunk.

How many people are bringing ezup canopies? Jake and Dave will have one. Anyone else? I'm trying to figure out if I should haul my 10x10 canopy down or not. It is heavy and is the type that needs to be assembled. I've brought it to past meets and it takes about 5 people and a couple expletives to put together. I don't want to haul it in my trunk if it is not needed.

If any of you have a laptop with a webcam, please bring it if you can. I'm not sure if we will find the opportunity to do a webcast but we can certainly try.

2 weeks!!!!!

LOL, you guys are nuts.

There are some who are bringing kids but not sure how many yet. I'm coming by myself on this trip. As for drag racing, I'm undecided. The car isn't tuned quite right and I have some other issues. Royce will be addressing the trailer storage question soon. I'm looking forward to seeing you and Gwen again.

2 weeks and a few days...

Better Broil Quick

My guess is about 5 or 6 trailers (Vaughn, Pat, Robert, Royce, Dave). Not sure who else is staying at the hotel and trailering their car.

Regarding trailer parking, Royce has found a Toyota Dealership 5 blocks away that is secure (gated) and we could use that for a small fee. He's technically not asking for anything but may want a few $$$. My guess is that you would not be able to access the trailers outside their business hours. Royce will be getting more details on this but does this sound OK?

Wow Dave, thanks for bringing all the door prizes...

Art and Rena can't make it this year. I know what you mean though... very nice people.

Here is who I have on my confirmed list: Roy Bunjes Vaughn Peoples Pat Trottier Jake Gould Rodney Shure Royce Tollman Chris Stiener Mark Andrus David & Patricia Nassimbene Keith Golanowski Chris Davis Dave Mau Tim Oest Doug Cameron Aaron Dodsworth Jack Young Dan Goehring Cameron Lewis Garrett Kuipers Luke Sink There are some others who I have heard from recently who are very likely to make it but not 100% yet. There are also several who posted a while ago saying they will be coming but don't appear to have booked a room. If there is anyone who has not yet informed me they are coming to the meet, please send me a PM or email.
