Just get an electric water heater and pay an electrician instead (I already did that earlier this year)

Does anyone at the Meet want a dock?

Tempting, but probably not. One thing I would like is two of the small power adaptors for the empeg if you still have those. I managed to loose one, and my old Mark 1 style at work recently died.

Well well..

Last year, I got held up in Toronto for 5 hours waiting for severe thunderstorms in Ohio to clear up before my plane could take off. When it finally did leave, there were lighting bolts hitting the runway behind us as we took off. Really cool stuff, that!

And now there's Isabel. This year, my connection is not in Toronto, but rather.. guess.. Newark. heh heh.. right about when Isabel slams across the north east.

Loverly.

Don't wait up for me at the cabin.

Mark,

I live 45 minutes from Newark. If you would like, I would be happy to drive you to the meet. Tom will be with me and we will be leaving Friday in the AM. Just putting that out there....

Yeah, we might get some rain here for the weekend. I'll bring some decks of cards just in case and there is also a bunch of games and pinball at the lodge to play. We'll find some things to do. I think we'll be glad that there are fireplaces in the cabins

For those into fishing, bring your poles just in case the opportunity comes up.

Thanks for the offer, but the problem really is that my flight from here (Ottawa) isn't gonna be able to land at Newark..

Cheers

btw, do you miss some clothing? They stole something from you, i think

Ha, i finally found the pic. It was on one of my last analog-films from before i bought my digi-cam...

So Mark, can you confirm your ownership of this piece of cotton?



cheers, Thomas

Mmmm.. dunno. I'll have to do my laundry here soon and take a count..

Looks like the weather will be beautiful. Low 70's during the day and 50's at night. Perfect.

So far the t-shirts haven't come. I am hoping they do tomorrow since I won't be here Friday when the mail comes.

Tomorrow is the day

I better make sure I have the lastest Hijack installed this year.

[waves to Mark]

The t-shirts came
For those that ordered a shirt and aren't coming to the meet, I will mail them out next week. The rest will get them tomorrow.

How much are they?

Just got back from doing the grocery shopping for the weekend and it looks like it will be $21 per person for the food for three meals. I hope that is acceptable, I didn't buy as much this year

And I hope the couple of people flying in will be able to make it. Isabel is being a very bad girl

Well, I'm off to the meet in about 30 minutes. I'm finishing up some work for a customer and I'll be heading out.

See you guys there!! I should be arriving around 4-5 this afternoon.

I'm looking forward to meeting you!! I'll be there around 1 to get HQ set up.

The van is loaded with the food and I'm off. See everyone there later on today!

I'm bored, where is everyone

Passing Dayton on I-70 now.

After I actually made KisMAC compile and work with gpsd, it's found nothing. How sad.

Although we couldn't make it this year ( my parents are visiting ). We are thinking of you all in the cabins. I know from our great experience last year that you will all have a wonderful time. The weather forecast promises highs in the 70s tomorrow and Sunday, and the rain holding off until Monday. It looks like Laura picked you the perfect weekend.

I'll be checking the bbs this weekend ... and wishing I could be there. Best Regards, Mark M

We miss you here, and I suspect come Sunday morning we're going to miss your wife's wonderful breakfast

I'll upload some pictures shortly.

Ok, some pictures uploaded and uploading to the Ohio 2003 gallery on riocar.org.

Hmmm, Mark gives good backrubs...............

Hi. I just wanted to say it was great to meet people and I had a very nice time. I also would like to thank Laura again for setting this all up, and thank everyone else who came. I need to work a bit on my frisbee skills.

There are now about 25 pictures there. Most aren't captioned yet. Apologies.

What he didn't tell you is he won the empeg that was the door prize.

Well, that would be like bragging or something.

I got in around 9:30 last night. That was my first empeg meet and I had a great time. It was cool meeting everyone. Thanks to Laura for putting a terrific event in a setting.

Yes, thank you Laura for setting this up once again this year. It was quite a bit of fun, and I hope everyone else enjoyed themselves.

I'd also like to tkank Rob R. for showing me around New York. The city is interesting, but definitly not for me. Rob's area is a bit nicer, but I think I am definitly more of a western US person.

/me continues to sit in the airport, waiting for the flight to go home.
