Is that an invitation? Let's bring the meet to him. Grandma won't mind, especially when she realizes that someone her age is coming as well. Ha Ha.

Reschedule??

January's wide open for me!
"GReddy e-manage" is excellent in the generality and the expansion. And it is a low price further.Therefore, you can direct an engine too economy, easily. Then, you are relieved, and you can choose it. Future tuning begins first from "e".

Or if there were 3 of us that still wanted to do it, that's enough people to finish of 50 wings. I'm up for whatever.

There is still plenty of people, it was just VP's idea, would be sad for him to miss out. BTW I am not sure if 50 wings is enough for three.

We need to start firming up details so we can arrange for a spot or just descend on some poor unsuspecting restaurant.

ok so what is the time span we are looking at here for the possible meet dates? I'm thinking 23-27 preferably not the 27th as to make sure Powerwheels can make it since he is in the air force now and will be on a 96 (4 day leave period) that which I don't know when begins and ends while factoring in travel time/scheduling.

I propose we all work out a __ part schedule like this:

23rd:free all day
24th:free most of the all day, I can schedule around the meet, maybe
25th:christmas... available afternoon
26th:free
27th:free
any day later:most likely can be free any day but not until night time on the weekends


now it might not work out exactly like this for me but for planning purposes, this is close enough for me to work with...
lets get a good list going so we can see what works for everyone

If we stick with the 23rd and do it close to VP then he could show up late and close the thing down.

My schedule goes like this:

23rd - evening
24th - open till about 5pm
25th - after 4pm
26th - after 4pm
27th - open
28th - after lunch

If something could work on the 23rd, let's do that. If not, work around VPs schedule and don't worry about me. It isn't right for the originator to be the odd man out. It will be tough for me to stay out much past 10 when I'm getting on a plane the next morning.

That being said, let's hear the nays for Dec. 23rd, 7-11pm ish at a wing place with a lit parking lot. And beer.
