meaning you can pack a kettle drum on the back of your fj but you can't stuff a bottle or 6 of wine down your jacket?  ( :

Danged if I didn't think they had all forgotten. I've had no one say (till now) when they would be there, which way they would be coming in from, nothing zilch!

Just for the record, Blue, Jeff and I willl be there on Monday. And for a change I get to stay thru the whole rally.

Troy, what kind of wine do you want? I'll pick it up when I stop on my way in on Monday.

Marsh, They are getting forgetful, but then I resemble the 'old' part too, so I'm right there.

I'll call today gang and get the wood ordered, what do you think, have it delivered on Wednesday?

I can't wait to get out of this heat even for a week.

Woodbridge Reisling,   lots of it (like 3 x 1.5 liter bottles) should be about $35-$40

thank you

I just talked to NancyG, my favorite riding partner, and she said her and Jack will be coming in on Wednesday. She'll have the coffee pot and all the fixin's for that.

I called and ordered our wood and it's going to be delivered either Tuesday or wednesday next week. Eddie said he would call me on Monday.

pierre,

are you riding the fj, or the fjr down?  if the fjr, get that windscreen in the full up position!  ( :  have you put on the v-strom hand guards?  they also make a difference.  see you in two.

We're on the road. About 30 miles from Savannah GA. We're making a side trip to my home town of Southern Pines, NC before heading on to Boone tomorrow. Sun shining down here! Blue's sleeping, Jeff's driving and I'm trying to stay awake!

We're in Southern Pines tonite, doing a little family business here tomorrow and then heading up to Boone. But since I'm up here I need to create a little hate and discontent among the family up here. :)

Why Dean, I know you....I'll just make a phone call. On the other hand, Jeff said as we left the hotel this morning that I was still grumpy and had obviously not had enough coffee....just the right kind of mood to talk to that attorney! I was very 'tactful.'

Update on where we are....just west of Greensboro, coming into Winston-Salem. We are going to make another stop at yet another tack shop. Hey it's my vacation too....I might find something that I need. :)

Have already talked to the wood man and he's going to call me and let me know when the load will be delivered.
