Colin,

Hope so, you need to give the 911 a workout! Just booked the hotel rooms, so if I am in the country will be there!

Lube, pls tell me any other place in the country where you have Tabs, buffets, machine guns, Rick Lee getting married, more buffets, race tracks, Nostatic driving over, buffets again, Stoney and Jordi, possibly another buffet, and finally Colin coming down from Canada and everyone else??? Kim may even bring last years T-Shirts!!

Jordi, thanks for all the help and lets try to get somethings set up for the weekend this time. While it was nice to just get together and eat and drink, some other plans would be nice.

Gents,
Has there been any determination about a hotel yet. The sooner we do the better - I would suspect, given the weekend that is being chosen

Shaun,

Sleep in the grill? BS, I want to sleep under the grill. Just think of the sweet drippings off of all that BBQ and smoked meat he has been cooking. Of course it would kill me to eat but would die happy.

Shaun, very nice looking parts. What are the red parts? Looks like a strut assy? That puppy is going to stand out big time.


Colin,

I reserved a room at the Marriott Courtyard on Paradise. May have a lady friend coming, so booked early.

To tell the truth I really enjoyed the time we spent last year at the Bellagio, outside on the balcony. Would be nice to get a spot there again at least for some hours then go inside for dinner.

Joe

Joe,
My better half would most likely be coming down also. We can certainly organize a decent meal...

Rick Lee - if I am driving down - I will most likely stay for all of those days...
Utah also has potential!!

Margarita and I are discussing it. I think it will depend on what the state of the hole is in the Backyard. I will be back from the land of the Vampires the weekend before.

If we do come, you have to kiss the boys, or find other friends...

For the girls (while the mean are in the desert firing automatic weapons), Margarita will lead a day spa adventure.

I will go this week to the gun range to reserve space for Saturday May 26 for two hours starting at 11 AM, I will ask about the chance to do something outside in the desert rather than indoors, no promises here.

This range has anything you may think about; MP-5's, silenced MP-5's, grease guns, Thompson's, Uzi's and them some, plus a wide (wild?) assortment of pistols and revolvers.

Sunday we can try another range ... and you come early on Friday we can try yet another one .... just tell me when to stop (or how much money you want to 'invest' on bullet therapy and stress relief ....) and I hope that you don't have to pass TSA screening soon after that
