Getting the new SLK350 to replace the SLK320 and if possible get out of my C320 lease too. The replacement for that will probably be an E500 (Tectite Grey) for you know who...
You will get to meet her when we come to the meet together on the 25th



Oh and yeah I caved and got the new 7speed auto with the paddle-esque shift buttons on the wheel.

Is noon good for everyone?



EDIT: which translates into 2:30 in Silver_Lana-speak.

This weekend (24 & 25) is better than the next for me.
I'll be coming from the Princeton area as well. We can caravan if you'd like.

So it is the 25th at noon...same spot in the park as usual?

Tommy, are you picking up drinks as well?

That sounds good. Maybe if SANG can get spousal consent he'll join as well!

Double turds!

Weather doesn't look promising at all for any time this weekend, but especially Sunday mid-day. Think we should postpone the meet? I have no interest in being stuck with food that I'm not going to want to eat. Though being stuck at my place with a bottle of Black Label doesn't sound half bad!

Check out weather.com; I'm not too optimistic about our chances.

Looks like rain sunday, really don't want to picnic in the rain, and the consesus seems to be the 1st of August is better. Anyone else with any thoughts???

Uh, besides, chances of me showing up are better on August 1st.

Yeah, I was really hoping that today was the bad weather day. But it now looks like tomorrow's going to be the bad one.

So, decided to not buy food 'til tomorrow. If it's raining as much as the reports say tomorrow, I'm with you - a picnic in the rain would be a very sad thing. So, I'll post by 10am tomorrow what I'm doing, but it's not looking good.

Ok, I take that back now.

Weather looks cloudy but good until late PM, so the meet's on!

I'll be stopping by the grocery store, then showing up at the park at noon.

See you there.

Thanks to "everyone", ie, both of you, for coming out yesterday.

Just proves that with enough liquor, it's always possible to have fun.

Rick, haven't heard from Marissa yet, though I can forward you her cell#, if you want. Or you can patiently wait by your van on the river for her arrival.

And my sister was very appreciative for all of the food.

We'll have to try again before fall, maybe with better results this time.
