so who is planning on attending this years meet?
« on: August 10, 2011, 09:37:11 PM »
just curious as to who is planning on attending

I unfortunately will NOT be able to make it unless some major star alignments occur. Mainly due to a probable employer change and some financial diffulculties that are prompting said change.
I really wanted to meet some of the great people here on the Nest. So who am I not going to get to meet?

You will not meet me unless we are traveling on the same highway.  If we can connect easily, I would like to meet the mover of "Eaglepiles".

I hope Rollguy, WonderEAGLE and I are not alone at Mav's house!  We may get in trouble sifting through the parts stash if Mav isn't there.

I am planning on being there on Friday.  I have to head to Chicago Saturday though.  I have a few things listed on Craigslist currently to make up for dipping into my funds for the trip for my paper weight Saturn and the battery for the Eagle. 

Since my daughter will be with me I will not be bringing my Eagle.

I'm seriously considering showing up to the Meet... :P

RegalW is correct though, I need so much help out here it's unbelievable. Since I've been without work the last 9 moths you'd think I'd be working harder out there to make a few extra bucks but there's not alot I can do without funds to get some projects started... and even still, pointless to try without help. My back has gotten real bad. I've seen three neuro-surgeons, three family docs, a chiropractor and about a dozen E.R. docs in the last year and they all say the same thing... "Sorry, not much we can do but pump you full of meds." That was "fun" for awhile I guess but it got me into some trouble and caused more health issues so now it's just alot of hobbling around and grunting alot, LOL! Focusing on school right now to hopefully be able to show the county and the banks that I can run a business and maybe hire some help and do some expanding and go totally legit and solve about 50 of my biggest concerns right now and maybe even make a few bucks, lol!

Point is... Regal is right, at this point - I probably woulnd't notice what was missing and even if I did... I'd probably be thankful for clearing out the space, LOL! I wish some of you lived closer... I'd post a sign in the yard saying "Free parts and cold beer for hard-labor!" I could give away enough parts to pay my "help" and still have enough to build a few cars, pay my "car-debt" and keep the Sanctuary going.

So hey... you might wanna be prepared to work a lil'bit when you get here LMAO!!!

well I definitely will not be able to make it. I was hoping to get an extra day or two with the job change....i still don't know when the new job will start. They have a problem of not enough trucks for my batch of recruits. :(
I can't see leaving Saturday morning, driving 10 hours to arrive @ dark, then having to leave early sunday morning.
darn, I really wanted to make it! Maybe next year .........
