markgoodrich Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Nope. I thought about buying a two bike trailer but ended up with a single. I should'a got the dual. Link to comment
Matts_12GS Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Am I reading the list correctly, there might be three wimmens there? (Dang, I'm awreddy tawkin lahk I'm in Jawja). I need to talk to SWMBO about going. Mark, I'm trying to convince my girlfriend to come along on this one as well. Mebbe we can get together during the holidays and let our better halves conspire on joining us. Ashley has been to several of the the East Coast events. She even speaks Texan so she can translate for you two... Link to comment
markgoodrich Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Reservation made. Dunno yet if Suzanne is coming. Link to comment
markgoodrich Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Reservation made. Dunno yet if Suzanne is coming. Forgot to mention my arrival guarantees heavy rain the entire weekend. Link to comment
Glenn Reed Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Forgot to mention my arrival guarantees heavy rain the entire weekend. Not just on Friday, like we've had the past three that I've been to? Link to comment

Glenn Reed Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Maybe it's just you Glenn. Try showing up on Tuesday, see if rains Wednesday instead!! Matt, it's entirely possible that it's me! Maybe I'll have to change things up and give this theory a test. But if Mark's coming in from Texas, and hauling the rain in with him, what will we actually prove.... Link to comment
Glenn Reed Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Matt got me thinking (trouble enough right there...) about whether I really do make rain the first day after I show up. Surely not! So I checked the only ART event I didn't go to in the last two years (FART 2013), and sure enough, it was rain free! There might be something to this theory of yours Matt! Link to comment
greiffster Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Glenn, Find all the rain gear you possible have stashed in the corners of your garage. Then, buy a brand new rain suit from Bob's. Roll all that stuff up, pack it in the top box, and bring it to Dillard. Guaranteed not to rain. Link to comment

I know, but I keep trying to inspire a change! It's probably one of those "same thing" ≠ "different results." ≠ ... The "not equal to" symbol didn't show up. Link to comment

Yes, but I'm not an amateur-crastinator, I'm a pro-crastinator. It's even in some of my employee evaluations! Link to comment

TN_R_Girl Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 I can't guarantee that far out right now... but I've got it on the calendar. Now I just need to get the new battery (that's now dead) to fire up ... and the crack in the exhaust welded between now and April. Gah! Link to comment
_Brock_ Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Count me in Wed-Sun. Between now and then I have to have and recover from an ankle surgery, but I don't think it'll stop me. I'm not a big bourbon drinker, but I have a bottle of Bookers collecting dust. I'll bring it to share. Link to comment

Just so we're clear, we also accept beer and wine connoisseurs as well You just have to be able to tell lies along with the best of us while in the parking lot, or at breakfast, lunch or dinner...for a few days Link to comment

_Brock_ Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Have a speedy surgery and recovery and we'll see you there. Well, bad news for me. My surgeon needs hip surgery so he can't cut on me until mid-March after his recovery. So, my bottle of Bookers and I will be absent from SMART. I'll be on the lookout for FART plans. North GA is one of my fave riding areas. Very disappointed. Link to comment

Fathom Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I'm afraid I've got some sad news as well (well, it's not all sad). Being somewhat space-time-continuum impaired, I failed to realize that START falls squarely on both my wife's birthday and our anniversary. There are not enough Pat points in the known Universe to make up for me being AWOL for both of these events! On the glad news front, two things: first, as I was among the first to sign up for this event, some prime hotel real estate is about to open up. I have one of the screened-in-porch rooms facing the creek, and at noon eastern time tomorrow (1/16), I will be phoning them to cancel my rez. If you were thinking you might have to sleep under a tarp in the parking lot, think again -- the first one who needs it most & best should give them a call and snap it up. (See? it pays to hang on the board in the middle of January!). The second glad thing is that my wife is amazing, which is why I only feel mildly crushed to be bailing out. I say this because my ~*~*~*~*constellation prize~*~*~*~* for missing START is that we're going to COTA for MotoGP instead! I will be at BBBBQ this summer, where you can give me a proper ribbing, and gloat a bit over the absurdly fine time you'll no doubt have had in Georgia. So be safe & ride lots good people, and remember, if you need a place to stay at START HQ, tomorrow at noon-oh-one would be a good time to be flexin' your dialing fingers. Link to comment
SSTwin Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Fathom, just sent you a PM on your room, I'd like to pick it up. Just found out that my schedule looks good for making START this year. Yeah!! Link to comment
TEWKS Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 There are not enough Pat points in the known Universe to make up for me being AWOL for both of these events!

Fathom Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Hey Pat, Not to worry -- I only use them in case of dire emergencies, and then only very sparingly. I've found that a little of that special 1600 cognitive pivot grease goes a very long way. And Steve, I dunno, man -- it seems the eastern side of this board is sliding inexorably southward, such that in another 10 years, 95% of those east of the Mississippi will be toddling around the Keys, fighting over an ever-dwindling supply of bourbon and 75W-90 final drive oil. Nonetheless, you possess an admirable 703 area code (and moreover, you were the first to pounce), so I suppose we can work it out. Cool & good? Link to comment
