What delay 
Bruce,
You NEVER need to apologize for anything. We're all in your debt.

As Tom said, we all owe Bruce and Norma a big thank you for what they do each year to prepare Carlisle for the rest of us. And I'm not forgetting the rest of the crew.

This kind've cracked me up, Phil.
I love cheap white T-shirts with cool looking logos on them, but I look pretty stupid in them anymore. In my mind, I see myself as that 180 lb beefy kid with 3 pairs of 505s, 10 T-shirts, and a pair of red Chuck Taylors, ready to rock the world.
In reality, I look like an old man who can't see his belt, and the white-T looks kind've silly with my tattered cargo shorts. It's a look my wife is not fond of, but tolerates to keep me from wearing Wrangler "hero" jeans and a Red-Kap workshirt 24/7/365.
A polo would be cool, but it would need to be embroidered and that would cost about $50/shirt.
Perhaps a short-sleeved Red-Kap work-shirt with a giant logo on the back would be cool. It would be cool to me...
Stan:
What would it take to get you to Carlisle?
A miracle.
Room reserved!
Now Lane Anderson, let's start talking SE caravan! Lunch in Bristol, overnight in Christiansburg?
SE caravaners will have exclusive use of the ERV (Maddie's Dodge Power Ram and a 16' car trailer, with all manner of tools and support gear). The ERV was utilized in 2015 for roadside rescue.
Stan. Your self deprecating humor cracks me up. Everyone knows YOU DA MAN!
Yeah... I just read Stan's post and was cracking up here in the froZen world
Hey Stan if yiu make it to Carlisle I might go ray

Phil, if your wife said less is more, she is lying to you.
Marty. I think shes referring to my belly.
I just made my reservation for a room for the weekend, too. Wanted to be sure there was room at the inn, as they say.
Hotel Reservation information is now posted under Events...... Reserve Now ! ~
Stan.... " We The People" request that you schedule your work around Carlisle weekend. You deserve the time off and enjoy putting the names to faces and experiencing the Carlisle Madness ~
Yeah, Stan - NONE of us look like what you think at Carlisle.....
Gordon is right. If I ever go to Carlisle I will be 6'3", slim, and good lookin'. On second thought it will take a lot more than Carlisle to make that dream come true as Stan knows.
Long sleeve option on the shirts is nice for the skin cancer crowd.

What?!?
You're not a bunch of middle aged/old dudes taking your plastic clown cars with the fancy lawn-mower engines WAY too seriously?
In that case, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't fit in.
"You're not a bunch of middle aged/old dudes taking your plastic clown cars with the fancy lawn-mower engines WAY too seriously?"
Hell, NO!
We're a small bunch of Millenials, logging in as different people and just messin' wit yur head!
Hey guys!!! Stan is already shmoozing with the Left Coast guys about going to their gathering. I guess we're chopped liver, huh? 
Patooooeee !
Have you ever been to San Luis Obispo, Lane? Pretty nice.
Just because California has scenery and nice weather shouldn't mean... wait... maybe it should. Nah!

My wife has long suspected this, only replace "small bunch of millennials" with "one 13-year-old boy".

A washed look chambres (denim look) long sleeve with embroidery (front and back) would be nice. Some designs though don't work with embroidery.
About $16 donor shirt w/free shipping and 10% or so discount -

HA - Order an available 6XL for an instant car cover
Ooooooo, We can all wear our shirts the same day for a lookalike Jay Leno day at Carlisle. I nominate, Anand and Tom, who have met him to be the two judges for the closest looking Jay WANNABE. Baaaaaa
That's easy...Jack Crosby :-)

I may be able to get you wholesale cost on blank apparel Whoever wants to coordinate, we may be able to drop ship directly to a decorator for embroidery. Although, decorators usually make a little bit on the garment along with the upcharge to decorate.
Anyway, let me know what type of shirt you decide to go with, and I'll let you know what brands and styles we carry.
Who ever takes the responsibility of possibly doing the shirts, please do not go out on a limb thinking you'll sell out this has happened twice to date and the seller had been stuck with inventory ......Do as Rich has done , take orders and perhaps a few extras.
I did the West Coast adventure one year a while back, and it was very very nice. Plenty of right seat opportunities, and even Will P just loaned me his car to drive (Deb will not go long distance in the Speedster, so they took the -- hmm, what was that, a 911?? -- ). wrt avatars and perceived vs real personalities, turns out, both Vince and GERD are really nice guys. Who knew??
And yes we are a bunch of middle (or past that) age old farts, but so what? All that melts away when tooling around in the Speedster, as you all know quite well. And besides, all the girls look good through the bottom of a glass, and there is plenty of opportunity for that in the party room.
Stan: no excuses, just get your ass there, the company will not explode if you're not there for a couple of days. really.
Yeah.....I remember doing Carlisle tee-shirts one year (can't remember which year, now) and used the size algorithm I used when still working for my Briefing Centers. Ended up having a whole box of S's, M's and L's left over. Seems like most of us back then were as Stan originally described us - XL's - XXL's.
At least they became decent shop rags (at $9 bucks each)
And as for "First Lady for Life", Mrs. Galat> "My wife has long suspected this, only replace "small bunch of millennials" with "one 13-year-old boy".
She is welcome to choose which one among us is which:
Good night, and Namaste!

Given my nose I will claim the "svelte, bouyant waterfowl" role.
I suddenly remember a very old (for the computer biz) computer terminal game in which there was a "BC" character: The "Apteryx" - A wingless bird with hairy feathers.
If you read "The Soul of a New Machine", Betty Shannahan created the microcode development machine and christened it, "Apteryx". Those of us close to it nicknamed it "Trixie".
OK, one more, just.....Because:
