I think the park has a no alcohol policy.


I am 50/50 on showing up, I got slammed with a ton of homework for my grad classes next week. It depends on how much I can get done over the next couple nights.

I was at Walmart. I didn't know which set I should buy. Are they all inter-communitble between brands?
If not, what's the point?
Any help?

55fanatic, would you happen to know what else needed for the BBQ? I could pick up after work tomorrow? I don't know what to bring, but really don't want to come with empty hands.

Also, how many cars are going to be there?

Most walkies have the regular channels then sub-channels so you can choose from a range of sub-channels to talk with individuals. So say you choose channel 9 then sub-channel 25. There are a lot of combination of channels and sub-channels that you won't get unwanted parties in your line. Most of them sold today have this capability so they're pretty much all compatible.

Weather looks to be good so far. I'm bringing two big bags of P&D shrimp and some dip. Wifey was going to make a batch of sliders but backed out.

I'll be washing/Zaino'ing my car tomorrow morning early. I have to head up to a b-day party in Tewksbury tonight, so no sense in cleaning it now. BTW, do we need any specific food to bring tomorrow? I still haven't decided what I should bring down for chowing.

Got those walkies from Radio Shack, apparently they're discontinued so I had to go to three different stores to find them in stock.

My friend and I detailed last night so we're ready to go
