I will still be in Seattle. :(

It's kind sad, we've got 9 representatives from 7 companies going (about 1/2 of what was expected-the majority of members are East of the Mississippi) which gives the association a net loss of about $3500. If we canceled our net loss would be $7000 and change due to cancellation penalties. So it'll be an intimate group and those of us attending will certainly be able to glean a great deal from the speakers. That said, I'd rather stay home with the family and join you folks for grub and grog.

Lift a glass for me!

I'm easy. We can do dinner Wednesday and get hammered at the bar thursday. In any event, I'll be there Monday afternoon. Looking forward to seeing you guys! :P

I'm always up for getting hammered at a bar!:D

Well, I got an early start and shortly had a flat outside Frederick, Maryland. I'm now stuck in a tire shop and will be way behind schedule.

Hopefully, the rest of your trip will go better . . .

Oddly enough I think we actually talked about you not having a spare tire last year.... Chin up! You'll be back on the road soon!

Look at the bright side.
At least you got stuck in a highly refined town such as Fredneck. Heaven forbid you would get stranded in some god forsaken wasteland like Rockville or Sterling:P:P

Hope you're back on the road soon! It's a long drive, I've done it many times :cool:

Just arrived in New London. The gomers at the tire shop in their zeal to align my front end, broke the passenger tie rod. This was after a couple of hours of total ineptitude. They took me back home and I grabbed the SL600 and made some time! Anyway, I'm here and beat to hell!

Man that sucks, glad to hear that you made it alright. How does the SL600 ride compared to the SDL on long range trips?

Smooth and fast!

So what's the plan, the Daniel Packer Inne tomorrow around 6 or 7 or someplace new?

Anywhere around the area is fine with me.
