What time do you estimate you'll be at Discovery Bay? I might be able to attend if only for lunch.

Better yet, maybe I can catch you in Tracy and hang out thru lunch.

I think we will get to Woody's about 1 or shortly before...my guess is that we will be there at least an hour...

It would be great to see you...

We have 16 SLK's confirmed and another 6 maybe's...

It's stopped raining up here and I think we will have a good meet drive.

Weaqther forecast;
Today: Mostly cloudy skies this morning will become partly cloudy this afternoon. Slight chance of a rain shower. High 57F. Winds N at 5 to 10 mph.

Worst case, we use that roof...
