You guys have fun. My wife's heading out of town shortly and my daughter has Karate at 4:30 so I won't be making the journey to the north side.

Guys, the place I can make but WHY in the middle of the rush hour traffic when no-one, absolutely NO ONE lives anywhere near this place?

I can make it but it may be closer to 6 once traffic dies down a bit.

How bad is rush hour at Thompson Peak and Hayden on a holiday? Eric's office is right near there and he'll be with Jeff. You and ODDJOB are closer to there than I am.

Traffic should be light today since it's a holiday.

Back from the meet. Everyone made it except Lee and it would have been a long drive for him.

Good to meet Ruf and his group. Looks like they are looking forwards to moving down!

Let us know if we can help!

Joe: Sorry to have missed this. We were in Phoenix this morning. Had I known about this I would have stopped by for some of your man-love. We're long overdue...

glad I finally met Joe after seeing his name for 10 years on the board, as well as Rick and ODDJOB! We can't wait to move! Hopefully an opportunity presents itself (soon) where we can find something career wise, which would then secure our future in Arizona

Shame on you, Dottore. I'll probably be in Vancouver in mid-March.

Yes. Shame on me.

Please give me a "heads up" if you will be there. I'm not yet sure that I will be there, but if I am I undertake to show you the bright lights.

You can give Dot some "man love" as he calls it. Personally I save my love for girls.

MAN LOVE? WTF? nobody said nothing bout DAT!


joe im gonna forward a nice lil beach boys song accompanied by this really nice island kabana girl frolicking in the waves. it will hopefully help you never to utter that word again!


had a great time. rufblackbird hope all of you find a place here with eric. and hope the closing escrow termite survey flood control aerial pictures, and pyscho neighbors/child molesters /airports/ flight paths small print on the documents dont drive ya nuts signing them all. im sure eric will have a hefty supply of pens.


the reason why so many documents are signed here and all of the DISCLOSURE is because many years ago az did have lots of land fraud going on and finally the state clamped down and enacted all these disclosure laws. good luck house hunting.

OJ,

Dot is the one who seems to like "man love," not me. See post #107.

Good to see everyone and dammit wish I was not coming down with a cold and feeling better last night.

We need to do this more often! As well need to have another UPM (Ultimate Pelican Meet) somewhere again. Vegas part deaux anyone??

Several people at the dinner asked about the helo that crashed a couple of days ago. Seems that it lost a blade in flight. Sad to see that it killed everyone on board...

~~~~

Blade Separation Preceded EC135 Crash

Preliminary indications are that blade failure played a role in the fatal crash of a 2000 American Eurocopter EC135T1 near Cave Creek, Ariz., on Sunday afternoon. Witnesses on the ground reported hearing a popping sound and then seeing parts fly off the helicopter before it rolled several times, pitched 90 degrees nose-down into the ground and caught fire.

The NTSB confirmed to AIN that parts of the rotor blades were found half a mile from the crash site. The helicopter was en route from Flagstaff to Scottsdale Air Park when it crashed in a desert wash between two houses, killing all five aboard.

Among the passengers were the helicopter’s owner–billionaire Thomas Stewart, CEO of Services Group of America–his wife, five-year-old daughter and the pilot. Stewart is remembered for unsuccessfully trying to get the city of Seattle to approve a helipad on the roof of his office building there, and eventually taking the matter to the Washington State Supreme Court.

thanks Charles, we checked out the house Eric & Rick were talking about...log cabin, 1.25 acres, 8 car garage/shop... let's just say we're scrutinizing our finances and seeing what we can do...

Anyone wanna buy my supercharged Tundra?
