YT was here at 8:00 this morning, Bart arrived about 1-1/2 hours ago and Kirill and his friend Alex about an hour ago. Naturally, they're all in the garage.

Drinking beer and working on cars. Is this the life or what?!!!!

I'll try to keep everybody updated, unless I get swept up in the party, too.

....and Subi-crosser has just arrived!

sicksubie · #**168** 10-24-2008, 07:34 PM

Not coming either... I am pretty sick after a week of work resulting in an average of 4 hours of sleep per night... Not to mention the car is dead as a door nail. No explanation. It died on the way home from the alignment shop ( as I was planning on grinning and bearing the fatigue and coming). Sputtered the last few miles into the driveway where it just flat out died. So, between being sick and having to work on the car with a broken finger....

OT, could you send those brakes home with someone to NJ as I will be making a trip down to NJ to get my trans? Please??

I'll be arriving late Saturday morning with cases of Asti and the Voulet.

I would have come up on Friday night, but I sliced a 5cm gash in my right hand with a box cutter (I still don't know how) that required 12 stitches to close.

Nancy (fancycargal) arrived aboaut 10:00, we had dinner (Bart's mom's stuffed cabbage - yum!) and now we're hanging out.

So far, it's a great party!

In that case, we have a big house and garage, and I'm sure Jerry won't mind bringing his canopy to set up so we can "spill out" onto the deck.

The meet is still on, either way.

I don't think we can get a bonfire going if it's too wet, though. If worse comes to worse, we can try incendiaries.

They are only calling for rain on Saturday (so far) but, as Jerry said, they may have rain across the river in MD and none here in WV -- the geography around here causes strange weather patterns.

Ok, it is raining. I just got home from OT and Di's.

YT is here, Bart is here, (and he brought a really FINE meal for fri night!!)Soviet, Alex, Fancycargal and myself as of 11:00 pm. Hocrest and Mellis are due any minute. Remember, TECH starts at 7:30 on sat!!

Hope all will "toss a few" (not talking about cones ) for me ...

When I had a 'problem', they just signed me up for the first one on the NEXT year!

They really do understand 'getting old' since they were there when the races were going on in '72'.

If the weather listens to the weatherman

, there may not be autocrossing tomorrow, anyway. I don't know if that entitles you to a refund of your registration fee or not, you'd have to ask Jerry. They're calling for possibly a half inch of rain tonight and another inch tomorrow!

You take care of that bone spur and we'll catch you next time around.

Rain does not mean that auto-x is cancelled. Rain means that Subaru is the car that will RULE!!

This is a 'Rain or Shine' event! Bring an umbrella.!.

What should someone do if they're arriving around 10am tomorrow morning?

green_eyed_lady · #**176** 10-24-2008, 10:26 PM

Dave (hocrest) and Melis (subbyru89) are here now. I think it's time to have one more toast and fall down.

More fun tomorrow!

If you're planning on Autocrossing, you have to attend the driver's meeting at around 7:30 a.m. If you're just here for the meet, either call Tom (301-
707-3437) or just show up at our house! Directions are on our website.

green_eyed_lady · #**178** 10-25-2008, 12:46 AM

Dave and Melis showed up ( I have NO idea what time

); Mike621 and Eric were the last to arrive (for the night). Most everybody is crashed out now, I'm going there shortly myself. No rain (to speak of) yet; we'll see what tomorrow brings!

green_eyed_lady · #**179** 10-25-2008, 10:16 AM

Carlos (My92SVX), Eric (SomethingElse) and Jason (Manarius) came in this morning and Nick (Tom's son, Mr. Black) came home last night (forgot to mention it

). They are all (except Nick, who is still in bed

) at the airport right now.

Gives me time to make that pasta salad!

Remember I am there in spirit and wish all a great time. I wish I was there, but probably feel much better this AM because I was not.
