Who's coming from where?

I have a set of 4 wheels and tires near Carlisle PA.
If someone is coming by there I'd sure appreciate it if they could fetch 'em for me. MD is kind of the long way about it but I'm not sure yet when I can take a day to go to PA and back.

Thanks,
Grigg

I don't know where Carlisle is, put I'm going through PA from north to south. Might work.

Thanks,
You might be close depending on your route. Actually Closer to Newville but more people know where Carlisle is.
Don't make it a priority though, it looks like I might get them week after homecoming as part of another trip that is just this evening shaping up.

They're four 8R19.5 tires and 4 single wheels but only one wheel in a tire, so they'll be kind of bulky.

As I recall the statute of limitations is 2 weeks in the ODSS, so the charges associated with foot prints in the new shop floor will not be prosecuted. I think I should be in the clear this year with or (regrettably) without the Cosmosis.

I might be a last minute add to the attending list. I would have our 10 month old and 4 year old. Yes Peggy, you can get your baby fix. It all depends if my wife has to work.

I am planning on being there with my family in tow (at least my 12-year-old son anyway). Momma will take him back and forth to the hotel in Lexington Park to thrash around in the pool as needed. Jack has plans on entertaining Freja.

Okay. Updated.

Chris, do you need some baby equipment? My neighbor has a new grandbaby and she has a pile of stuff at her house when it's "her turn" to keep the little one. Easy to get hold of.

Brad, that will be good. Freja will be most happy!

Our neighbor said you all can "shop" right there on the farms next door. Veggies, plants, flowers. Some beautiful stuff you may want to take back home to Momma. Will try to get some pix so you can see. You will not be able to beat the prices! grin

Great Tim?
Should I warn the ODSS boys about you or just let them learn on their own?
I'm sure one of the group will offer up a ride, (maybe Leo) to arrive at HQ with style.

Hey, I'm all for arriving in style when you come that distance, but my old panel doesn't like the big cities. I'm taking a wide berth around Washington. If you end up in Lexington MD, I'll make sure you arrive in style at HQ. It will be good to meet you!

Tim,

PM me your flight info. We'll collect you! least we can do if you're coming all that way!

I guess we now know who'll be taking Cosmo's place in the Presidential Suite.... smile

Don ... you forget .... members of the ODSS already have met Tim. Our Kiwi brothers are not the issue. It's the thong and mumu-obsessed Missouri Contingent that keeps me awake in the wee hours ...

Mr. SAA -- I hereby make a motion that our Kiwi ODSS Member Candidate be required to teach the ODSS how to perform a ritual Maori Haka. It would be perfect for the Saturday evening fire dancing portion of the weekend.

John

Moonlight -- Glad to have you with us! We look forward to meeting you.

For those watching the forecast .... I have prepared the wood shop to be a bunk house of sorts. It will be dry and cozy, especially with a little heat in there.

Just talked to Don, he napped here and dropped off some berries all before I was even awake.
He's approaching Charoltesville now and due at Headquarters 10:30-11:00

Tim made it in great and we had no problems with rush hour Beltway traffic! Getting our coffee now and soon to be hitting the chore list.

I'd never been to the Cell Phone Lot at Dulles before. Very handy. And huge. It would have been no problem to have taken the trailer with us.

I just got back from the chiropractor (5-6-2016), and unless I make a miraculous recovery in the next 12 hours, I won't be able to make the trip for Homecoming. I am bummed!
