That's my wife's birthday weekend. I get to go to a lake and sit around for 4 days.

We should be there - we'll likely bring just 1 2002 though.

Most likely we'll do the day activities, I don't believe we will try to find lodgings...

I'm looking forward to it.

Hi There,

A new friend told me about this event. I have a 73-02 and hope to be able to join you. I was wondering, I am also a member of the Austin 850 group. How would you feel about having a few 850's tag along? I won't mention it to the group unless you would be ok with a few younger brothers joining you.......marty

Hey Marty, as I mentioned in my email, it was nice talking to you. Thanks again for the tips and suggestions. You should post a few of those pictures you sent me on a new thread for others to see. I sure enjoyed them and I know others would too. Maybe you, Jason, and myself can get together for lunch in the near future.

Marty, one other thing. There's another thread on on the General Discussion page that has more traffic on it that you might want to pose your question on.
