Sure Greg. Sure you are not coming. I can see it now. I am sitting by the fire or the bike or the yute or whatever, and here comes some mysterious Speedie with a lightbar out of the dark, covered in patches. Greg arrives!

Okay. I am updating my schedule. Depart Port Orange, FL around 5AM next Wednesday. Ride Rhonda like I stole her. Pull off sore but happy near where the Secesh were finally stopped. Get up less sore, but still happy and head towards Ed, Pat, and the Yutes. Hey, wasn't that a Motown group?

Oh... that's why you have two bikes Charlie. You hit one rally, switch bikes and go to the next one, it's kind of a recycling thing.  You guys be careful and everyone have a great time!!!

Wendy is pretty sick right now so it doesn't look good for the rally. We will be there if we can but she has been in bed last 2 days and she never does that unless she is like death warmed over. We will be bummed if we miss it.

I will be there for Friday night's dinner. I'll be there the entire time, but you wanted a head count for Friday.  See you soon Ed. Thanks in advance for all of the hard work, and let me know how I can help. Ryan

I had planned on being there Thursday. She is still pretty bad today but we are keeping our fingers crossed. She keeps telling me I can go if I want to but I wouldn't do that when she is sick.

OK, Problem here, I just tried making reservations for the rally and it seems that all the motels are full. I never thought there would be that many people going to the rally this year.  Ed, Pat, or Matt can you steer me in a direction to check for a room? I kinda procrastinated on making reservations as I wasn't 100% sure about a conference that I have to attend, dates were still up in the air. The conference is now going to be the 24-28 Sep in Hershey, Pa. So I will be on my way Thursday but I need to find a motel. Thanks, Ron

It's looking doubtful for me to make it.  My daughter's dad can't take Em till Saturday evening (told me last week he "forgot" about an out of town wedding this coming weekend)- between her school, dance and work schedules, I've been trying to patch together care arrangements and rides and it's just not really working in a way that leaves me comfortable.

Paula, don't forget about my offer. I can bring my dogs over and she can ride them anywhere she needs to go. It's a win win situation, Em gets to where she needs to go and I don't have to pay to put the dogs in a kennel, it's a good deal

Tim, don't think I haven't considered it....She'd be under the care and protection of, what, 280 lbs. total of mastiff?
Could I borrow the dogs when boys start coming around?

Any time Paula, I'll even stop by the butchers and see if I can't get a cows leg for them to chew on while said boy is walking up to the house it'll be that much more intimidating

Hey Jeff, Looks like I'm going to make it after all. I've got to work until 12:00 on Friday so I won't get on the road until around 1 or so. If you guy's are leaving early I'll see you when we get there.... Gene
