I am working hard to get Pat Downs and Anand to come this year Should know for sure this week..

@GERD   Dear Gerd 

We all know there is a height and weight limit you must meet in order to travel to Europe. Kind of like that sign at Disney Land, " YOU MUST BE THIS TALL TO RIDE THE ATTRACTION" Well the same goes for traveling to Europe..  Unfortunately you wont be able to board the plane..   

It will great to see you in SLO GERD..  always a pleasure..

Best Regards

Tebs

PS   And as usual,  I will treat everyone to a beer and wine meet and greet between 530 and 7 Hotel courtyard... 

@TRP  lets us know if you need help!!  You two need to show up this year..!!

 

I'll see u in 2019 Teby.

take care

Okay folks!   The hotel deadline is fast approaching (4/27) to get the group rate.  I currently show 48 people in hotel rooms, but only 36 counted in for dinner.  I'm gonna start requesting money this Friday since most of you will know if you're gonna make it or not.  

I do have several folks who have attended in the past, but haven't been seen or heard from so far.  Hopefully they get word soon!

Booked two rooms and reserved 3 adults for dinner (and possibly two wee ones).  Will confirm with the family and report back.

Scottie, thanks for the heads up!  Lemme know when and how to pay.

Looking forward to it!

Check here to make sure I have you down correctly...

Hotel stay I have the following names (alphabetically by last):

Bull, Cramer, Dowd, Duncan?, Farmer, Gallo, Helm, Ignacio, Karyadi, Kerswill, LaFont, Leong, Manto, Mayo, McEwen, Mitchell, Montiel, Murtaugh, Nash, Norton, Nuckels, Pierson, Segal, Sloan and Stewart. 

Vineyard Hammock I have one:

MacCarthy

Dinner so far I have the following:

Bull, Cramer, Dowd, Farmer, Gallo, Helm, Ignacio, LaFont, Leong, MacCarthy, Manto, Mayo, McEwen, Montiel, Murtaugh, Nash, Norton, Nuckels, Pierson, Segal and Sloan.

The folks we haven't heard from at all yet are the following:

Galvan, Hampton, Kaufman, Kingston, Macare, Morris, Munson, Rion and Smith. 

I've been able to contact Rusty Smith, but if anyone has contact info for the others please contact them so we can get them counted in.  As far as Duncan listed in the hotel, does anyone know who that is?  The reservation listed them as "Nery Duncan".

Teby,,,you do realize this year that all "happy hour" drinks at the hotel are now $5 each so thank you for your kind and generous offer to everyone...

Drink up folks. Cheers!!!

Who do I let know that I want to reserve a place at the dinner? I'm not staying at the Quality Suites, but up the street at 1/2 the price (University Inn). You see, a retiree on a fixed income must make some concessions.  

u dumb cop. No wonder they booted u off the force. That is Mary Duncan as in Kirk Duncans wife who built your speedster. you do own a speedster?

Teby, I am going to Disneyland in Paris. No height restrictions there

u bozos have fun.

@slofuzz

Hi Scott  

I've been in touch with Les Munson and he told me he and Lee would not be in SLO this year.

I noticed you have a Sloan listed as having reservations, but we are not staying at the hotel.  I don't recall making a reservation, so maybe it's Scott Sloan or someone else named Sloan.  That would be very cool if Scott was planning to attend! 

@slofuzz Scott, the Kaufman's (John & Diane) won't be able to make it this year. Also Rene Macare (SOC Dutch) will miss this year, and 'Nery Duncan' is Kirk & Mary Duncan. 

I will contact Doug & Karine Kingston (AZ).

It's with a tiny bit of regret that I want to inform you all that GERD has been banned from this site (Thank you Theron).  He now joins the likes of Dr DeManto in the land of exclusion!

"Nery" doesn't translate to Mary very well unless I've had a lot of cocktails!  I'd tell GERD to stick to numbers, but we all know how bad he is that the little crooked accountant!!!

Troy, you're right.  The hotel list doesn't have you, but I went to auto pilot mode. 

Sorry to hear about the Kaufman's, Munson's and Macare's.  We will also be missing Roy McIntyre this year.  Hopefully next year.

Keep an eye out on the thread for money demands this weekend!

Cheers!

Scott

I've been informed by my wife that June 8-10 is the weekend my daughter graduates from Jr. High School (Middle School). Apparently we're having a BBQ and guests over. 

I will not be attending.  *sigh*

@TRP  I was just informed of a similar situation.  My niece, with whom we are very close, graduates high school June 6th, and her graduation party is June 9th.  Therefore, unfortunately, I will not be able to attend the West Coast Cruise this year either.  I'm really hoping to make it to at least one.

Good news is that Greg Leach informed me that he will be attending, but staying at a friend's home.  I told him about the dinner and that he needed to let you know. 

Hi Scott,

Just 1 for me, my son bailed out on me.

@slofuzz Scott, I got in contact with Doug Kingston (AZ) and he said that regrettably he & Karine won't be able to attend due to schedule conflict! Next year for sure!!

@Cory McCloskey, any chance the weather in SLO is worth covering in early June?

Also, @slofuzz, is this the rough schedule?

Troy,

Would that be the same Greg "VSpyder" who just weighed in?  Otherwise, I'm not sure who VSpyder is.

Bruce,

Can you please help me out with a last name?

Thanks,

Scott

And, yes, the schedule will be similar.  You'll have to swing by on Friday and check-in with us to get the route.  As usual, I will put together two routes and confirm the one used when we have a better handle on the days weather.

Ryan,

That sums it up pretty well.  I was kicking around putting something together for those who stay on Sunday.  Maybe a zipline excursion and wine tasting event on the historic Margarita Ranch?  Another casual drive somewhere?  Just a thought and depends on the number staying.

Scott

Has anyone heard from Speedster D? 

Troy Sloan posted:

Yes. That is Greg Leach. 

Thank you Troy! Do you know Gregs' passengers name?

I can only do one day and I'm trying to talk the wife into going, any chance I can cruise with you on Saturday? Is there a good time and place to meet?

Chris,

There's always room for more cruisers.  If you can, try to meet with us Friday night to get the lowdown.  If not, I would suggest showing up at the hotel by 9 so you can meet a few of us and get the starting point location.  I can always PM you my cell too and you can call me the morning of.

Just let me know what you decide and how many for lunch/ dinner if you decide to go for the whole enchilada on your one day!

Scott
