[resq302]

Ok, its just under two weeks away!  If anyone is planning on bringing a dish or anything, can you please post it on here so my wife knows what to make or pick up?

Thanks.  Oh, and don't forget to do the sun dance.

So far the list of people bringing stuff:

FLG - pastries and beer
Jackie - cole slaw salad

[Old Moparz]

My daughter will be with me, she's 11 years old.

Brian.....As for rain & shade, I have a 10' x 20' canopy that I can toss in my truck if you need it. It's one of those galvanized, tubular frames that slip together with a tarp roof.   

Bob,

thats not a bad idea.  It can't hurt.

Jackie,

If Shelby wouldn't mind doing that, I think it would be pretty cool.  I know my daughter would love it.

Brian, I'll bring it, but I have to check the box for red ants.

Gee, thanks.  I have enough problems with big black ants getting into my house.  Don't need red ones.  Plus I have the white ants (termites) over by my shed and wood pile.

I'm not much of a cook... can I bring chips, tortillas, pretzels, salsa, etc....?

[resq302]

Pretzels and potato chips have been taken care of already courtesy of the wife.  I will talk to the wife tonight and find out what we might need or have to pick up still.

[resq302]

Cmon people!  Last chance to cast your vote if you are coming or not so we know how much food to get.  Great chance to meet and greet a lot of people from here and put a face to the name.

You want her to be in your bathroom all day ??  And we are bringing her own rolls for the burgers.    I just got a Margarita Ball.    Holds enough to serve 22. Bet Doug wishes I would have had it at Carlisle.

[resq302]

Thats ok.  One of the reasons why we bought a house with 1 1/2 baths.

Ah, good point!

[FLG]

Ill stick to cookies and the such, pastries wouldn't last very long in a black car with black interior and no AC.

Does that work out for everyone?

[resq302]

Ok, thanks for letting me know the update Frank.  Jen was going to make cookies.  Ill have her hold off on it now.

[resq302]

Frank,  my wife just asked if you know what kind of cookies?   I guess keep me posted since we have choc. chip and sugar cookie dough home and just need to be thrown into the oven.   

[dkn1997]

Frank: are we still caravanning?  We should reserve Ferry soon...  Every top of the hour.  It's about 1.5 hours from bridgeport to the bbq.  It takes an hour to get across the sound to CT.  I have to work for an hour or two that morning, but I could make the 10am or 11am Ferry.  which works better for you?

[FLG]

Yes we are. I need to get things straigtend out as well if i cant do it friday night, lets shoot for 11am...could you reserve mine as well?

[resq302]

T-minus one week and counting.    My house is a single level ranch house that is olive green with white trim and a red door.  My charger will be parked in the driveway.  Parking will be across the street from my house as there is a little area for parking slightly off the street.  My neighbor across the street from me has graciously offered his front lawn and sides of his driveway for parking if we have an overflow of cars.  

[bordin34]

Is there parking in the street my car leaks transmission fluid and dont want to mess up anybody's lawn or driveway.

[resq302]

Dan, you should be able to park across from my house.  its kind of a weed, dirt area.  I always park my vehicles over there when Im working on the charger in the driveway.

[dkn1997]

I should be able to. Ill let you know

[71ChallengeHer]

The Daytona is going into the shop on Weds. Making sure everything is road ready for the trip.    Brian, Do you need anything else ?
