Update

Ok folks..... change in plans. Last post on this page (#30) has the details but the skinny is were now having the meeting in Burlington NC at S4Cruisers house.

Still on saturday July 11th, which is looking to be hot so come prepared.

We will meet at noon at 2321 West Gray Gables drive in Burlington NC 27215 and shortly after make a run for lunch after we have a headcount and bring it back for the group.

roughly it goes as:

I-40
exit 143-- alamance rd/Hwy. 62-- turn south
less than one mile on the Right

(approaching the turn you will go through a curve, see a stone house and some constructions barrels. The turn will be right before the barrels and before Grand Oaks Blvd.)

well here on the east coast we do things a little diferent, it's a little of both....

The Grasshoppers are a minor league baseball team, Greensboro built a new downtown ball park about 4 years ago and its really a cool place with an awesome atmosphere. Im not a very big baseball fan but I love going to to the games there cause its just a great place to hang out. I thought if we decided to go with Sat. we could do the meeting and eat at the house and then go to the game which starts at 7. Either day is fine with me I just hope we get a good turn out, there is plenty of room so bring alot of cruisers. The pool is ready so anybody that wants to bring the kids to go swimming feel free, the more the merrier. We should be able to get a good group picture but somebody is going to have to bring me a cruiser to stand in front of for the group shot

Dogs are welcome. What is the general concensus on food there are a couple of great local BBQ joints close by so we can do that or grill out.

little_joe · 07-02-09, 04:26 AM

I'm going to try and make it, I get home from Germany Thursday night and may need a little recovery time for these old bones.................

S4Cruiser · 07-02-09, 07:20 AM

I'll be there and Steve can use my 80 as his surrogate for a pic.

Sounds like fun, the Hoppers games are fun!!

strong_toy · 07-02-09, 11:32 AM

I can try to make it Saturday depending on when we start. We're going to a concert in Raleigh that night. Sunday would work better, but I don't want to rock the boat.

fj40z · 07-03-09, 01:24 PM

I just checked online and ticket prices are 7-9 dollars. It looks like the Sat. date may win out so if I can get a head count of those who want to go to the game after the meeting and food I will go to the ballpark on Monday and go ahead and pick up enough tickets for the group. How does everyone feel about the BBQ idea, they just opened up a new Country BBQ just up the road from the house and I have eaten there a few times and the food is awesome.

southerncruiser62 · 07-06-09, 07:59 PM

Guys, please post up your your intentions if you have not yet done so, so that the coordinators can plan for an appropriate head count.

mtweller · 07-06-09, 10:02 PM

Well, we may be headed to DC to pick up Emma's truck. Count us as a no and we'll bring food if we can make it.

Fort Knox · 07-06-09, 11:58 PM

Unfortunately I can't make it. I'm leaving Sunday for a week in the OBX.

lt1fire · 07-07-09, 05:04 AM

Andrea and I will be there, most likely a no go on the game though.

GarnerFJ40 · 07-07-09, 09:23 AM

Heather, Lily and I will be there. Stephen, if I bring Nalu, will there be a fenced in yard to leave him, or do I need to bring his kennel? We're down with the ball game, too.

lt1fire · 07-07-09, 10:25 AM

what time are we getting there in the am??

jfz80 · 07-07-09, 06:29 PM

AM ?

I dont think we'll be meeting before noon. I am thinking we would meet more around 2 and then have 4 hours of hanging out before heading out to the ball game. Will update tomorrow w/ definative time and place as a small speed bump has been thrown our way.

lt1fire · 07-08-09, 05:34 AM

ouch that makes for a much later drive home that I would have wanted.....

erymer · 07-08-09, 07:16 AM

Hey J,
Stacy and I will be there with Tillman in tow. We will not be up for the game though.

lt1fire · 07-08-09, 09:46 AM

Ur going to have to count us out of this one. I need to be home by 6PM so i'd have to leave at 3PM

lt1fire · 07-08-09, 10:43 AM

Actually I might still be able to make it can I get the zip code and city so I can find myself directions.

southerncruiser62 · 07-08-09, 02:36 PM

Alan, check the mailing list it should be on there.

fj40z · 07-08-09, 03:21 PM

Alright, its been a hectic couple of days but everything is still a go. My 88 year old grandfather had to have a couple of stints put in yesterday over at Wake Forest Baptist Hospital. Everything went good and he is doing well. The yard is not fenced but there is about 8 acres for them to run around on. There is also a run between two trees that you can use but you may want to bring the kennel for the ball game. It should be a good time, looking forward to seeing a bunch of people.

southerncruiser62 · 07-08-09, 07:04 PM

Stephen sorry to hear about your grandfather, hope all is well with the recovery. I won't be able to make it but I appreciate you offering up your venue. You all have fun.

I won't be able to make it this month. Have to be back in Raleigh for dinner and a concert (something about beer for horses, angry Americans, and such).

Stephen, I hope your grandfather makes a speedy recovery.

jfz80 · 07-09-09, 06:29 AM

*UPDATE*

Steves Grandfather is being readmitted for another procedure this weekend and there are numerous family members inbound at the moment who will be staying at Steve's through the weekend to be with his grandfather. Because of this we have decided to move the meeting to S4Cruisers house to make things a little less hectic for our hosts family.

So with that said, heres the new plan.

We are going to meet at NOON in Burlington as Jon and Stephanie have been so gracious to offer up their place on short notice. Hopefully the move will make it a little easier/closer for most folks that had planned on attending. Also weve moved it up a bit to make the trip easier for those that need to travel or have evening plans. We will meet around noon and plan to have a BBQ lunch instead of dinner.... around 1pm.

Please speak up if you not on the list so we can have an idea of how much food to provide.

Activities will be Lawn Games (frisbee, ladder golf, bocee, etc) and possibly a lift install on an 80.

Saturday is looking to be hot, so be sure to bring sunscreen, water and a chair.

sorry for the short notice but hope this works out just as well and look forward to seeing everyone.
