March 4, 200818 yr Unknown at this time. Might be a bit of a haul for the Bonneville though... A perfect cruise for the Bonnie, at the perfect time of year.
March 5, 200818 yr A perfect cruise for the Bonnie, at the perfect time of year. I had a bad parade experience a few years ago -- though highway seems to make the car happier. Ironically, I was just IN PA 2 weeks ago for work -- though that was a BMW roadtrip. A great idea in concept until the weather called for snow and I was already down there running summer tires! Thankfully I was able to bail early. Though I did learn that centrally located windows switches make a lot of sense with a manual transmission with all the tolls in PA, NY and NJ. Never appreciated them until that trip.
March 5, 200818 yr Yeah, but the barn is quite big, and without a serious heater (or heaters) it stays cold. I have tried the space heater/kerosene heater approach without success. Hopefully, by next winter I will have installed 2 huge industrial gas heaters and won't lose my winter project time anymore. Ah, sorry, Camino ... I didn't realize how big your barn is ... or that you had tried it before. Sorry.... The garage where my older 4 MCs are stored just has one central heater, afaik. Phil has a mini-bathroom in it, too.

Evanescence ... 'My Immortal' No need to apologize Cort, you haven't seen it yet. The barn is an awesome building to have the use of, but it does have some shortcomings. No running water, no heat, and not enough light or outlets. I hope to remedy some of that this year. I don't own the building, so I have to watch what I spend on it pretty carefully.

Well, I sure hope to get to see it someday.... Maybe this year when I'm in PA...I'll be there multiple times this year. I really like the building that my friend owns that I rent for the older 4 MCs. It has heat, running water (heck, even a mini bathroom...lol), and a bunch of lights ... though, that is my one complaint ... the lighting (imho, anyway) is rather inadequate towards the back of the barn/storage building, where a couple of my MCs reside, given the way they are parked in there. *sighs* Another complaint ... it isn't mine ... he he.

March 7, 200818 yr I just thought of something, my brother gets married the weekend after that in DE, and I am the Best Man. He wants me to put together his bachelor party, and I am not sure when he wants to have it... if it is the weekend of Carlisle, that may push me out. I don't know right now. Okay, I have to ask. Why are we still discussing Carlisle, when the obvious right choice is to crash ocn's brother's bachelor party?
March 7, 200818 yr Ha! Cool. He wants to have it at a strip joint in Reading, PA, but he's afraid a lot of his friends may not want to go, for religious reasons. I don't know how it's going to end up.

March 29, 200817 yr Crap! I have a conflict smack in the middle of the event. An old friend of mine wants me to come to California to celebrate his marriage on the 21st. I was in his first wedding, and I think he wants me to participate in some way this go round as well. I hate stuff like this.

They can renew their vows going down the drag strip.
March 29, 200817 yr I don't see a conflict. Take him and his wife to the gathering. They can renew their vows going down the drag strip. I like that idea...
March 29, 200817 yr I may actually tell him no, but that will be a rough conversation. And I know it will mean that I'll have to commit to hitting California on another date. Not looking forward to calling him about it.
March 29, 200817 yr That does suck. I had to tell my brother that I couldn't go when he and his wife (Edith) renewed their vows. The Air Force had plans for me and I didn't have much choice.
March 29, 200817 yr It may not be doable for me even if Carlisle wasn't a factor. Too expensive and getting someone to take care of my dogs would be a drag. Not to mention that I'll break out in hives when I cross the border into the belly of the beast. My sister has lived in LA for years now, and I've never visited her there. So between my friend and my sister I am doomed to another west coast trip before too much longer it seems.
