A wise Chinese philosopher once said, "A wise man changes his mind, a fool never does".
Well, anyway, I think someone said it or should have.  I have to be at work Tuesday and so was allowing 2 days, Sunday and Monday, for the drive back.
I'm very conscious of the fact that Carolyn and I will be making a very long trip in a 28 year old car.
I'm right 98% of the time, and I don't care about the other 3%.

There's no way I can make this, but I would like to make a suggestion (just in case no one is doing it) it would be great if one of you were to do lots of videos, and post them.

It would be really cool to see other meets.

I don't know what kind of turnout we are gonna have at the Western Canada Eagle's Meet, but I'll be doing video, and I'll be posting them as I can.

Mavericke is usually good for a few tons of video.  We usually take lots of still photos.

Well it would be really cool to see and hear you all interacting at these meets.    For me, it would be the next best thing to being there...

Shiny, does this mean it's up somewhere? I haven't had a chance to see any of it yet. Or is it strictly on DVD?

Strictly DVD for now. There are some very silly copyright issues that sites like youtube are enforcing that will not allow me to post the video unless it's trimmed down to the absolutle basics. I spent alot of time on it - so I'd like it to be shown as it is. The second DVD is not totaly done yet. I'm waiting for other footage from the last Meet. I was told that it didn't turn out well, but I have pro tools that can clean that stuff up. So if it comes - I'll use it. If it never shows up, I'll just close it out and finish just before this year's meet and rip it to DVD for those arriving. After the meet, we'll see about getting them posted on the store for cost of materials and shipping. Should only be a couple bucks and all the money will go to the Nest.

I'll make an announcement when it's available.

I will put it on my calendar, and Lord willing, I will be there!
will we all get to droll over the ultra rare diesel eagle this year?

Not sure right now.  IF I show up, it WILL be in an Eagle.

It looks like I will be driving this:

Well, it's not looking good for me. I work 10 days on and 4 off and it was going to work out perfect. However, with Labor day coming up, they have us working 14 days in a row so we have Labor day weekend off. So I'm supposed to be working the days of the meet. Hopefully I can get it off but since I've only been there 2 months I really don't want to jeopardize anything. On a side note, I noticed Mavricke hasn't posted since June 24th. Hope everyething is ok with him.

Yes, we're all concerned.   He was having problems recently.  I hope everythng is OK.

I hope this one does not turn out like the Canada meet.

Doubtful, since there is another event planned in & around the meet (drag meet). The Calgary un-meet was more simply people looking at a computer screen & going "dude, that sounds fun, sure, I'll go" & clicking a button. When it came time, they suddenly realized that it meant actually getting off their rear ends & doing something (I'd have gone, but typical 80s AMC issues & a lack of money kept me away - maybe I'll make it out in winter just for the heck of it? :) ).

x2.  pretty much what was discussed in a pm.    All thought, and no action.  Hopefully, the international meet will have people that actually make the effort, instead of just saying they will.

Last I talked to Mavericke (a couple of days ago via text) IIRC he had some school stuff keeping him busy currently.  Might explain why he hasn't been online much.

It sounds like it's not serious problems with him, anyway.  That's a relief. 
In the poll the first 4 options are all for people arriving some time during the meet.  9 committed.
I wonder who said we were so lame they wouldn't come?   :angry4:
