NorCal : NorCal Rally, Casini Ranch, April 9-11

[FreshAir]

Lessee..m tooth is fine(hic) remnents of a temp tooth came out and that is probably..it is what was aggravating my tongue. This place is filling with Arstreams..Kontiki, Tin Crew, Geeze and Babe, Warbler 5, Coastalview Hit'n the road, doorgunner and of course us, FreshAir are swapping stories and beer. Weather...sunny cool but warm in the sun and cool nights. think Saturday may be cloudy with rain threats pushing maybe Monday.

We have been dealing with lots of logisitics.. buying supplies.. last minute shipping details.. Costco.. multiple safeway trips.. hardware store making additional keys.. sports authority.. hmm a few others.

Its got to be tough pulling things together only days after you meet up with your new airstream!

We are all excited to join the gang at Casini.. Our plan is roll out of Novato around 9:00am.. I will carefully nudge the crew

Oh yea.. 4 bags of shrimp! 44 shrimp per bag.. enough? Who knows..

See you soon!

Sounds like you are going at warp speed. Sorry we won't be able to have all the the fun you are all going to have this weekend. Keep posting pictures - at least that way we can feel like we are there virtually.

[Airslide]

The final preparations are coming together.. cupboards are packed..
freezer is full and the expectation of a great rally will be in our dreams tonight..

[1953 Flying]

So I don't know who's trailer will get polished or not. But, I will be able to do it around 11 am on Saturday. I hope this doesn't get in any ones way of doing other things. Just let me know if this works for who ever or not. I'm here to share my 400 plus hours of experiance with you. I will be bring my arsenal of goodies. Cyclo polisher, Nuvite F7, C and S. If there is any compounding needed. I'm also bringing my varidable speed drill with the wool pad.

I'm stoked to see the rows filling up with Silver beauties. See ya soon.

Really, no big BIG deal for me. I offered my new unpolished side to demonstate on not the whole side. I just have questions to what I may be doing wrong..if that can be demonstrated to make a point, great. I don't want to spend a day watching you polish any more than you want to be missing any fun. NOW if you want to time it to when Vinnie begins prepping his shrimp he will be parked right next to my demo side..

Here's memories from last year's rally:
Casini Ranch April 10, 2009 - Photo Gallery

[Big Dee]

Should be on my way in an hour. See you all this afternoon! Yipee!

[toddster]

I've got two sherry cakes in the oven and a bit more packing to do, but I hope to be on the road in the next few hours. Worst case I should be arriving by 4pm. See you guys then!!!!!

[1953 Flying]

To all you lucky people leaving this morning. May the wind be to your back and the roads clear. Drive safe and see ya soon.

[Yhottys]

We'll be on our way within the hour.

Drive safely everyone.

See you soon!

[FreshAir]

Here's a couple of Friday morning piccys. Jeff watching Tim fly his rc plane. Then Neil, Tim in front of FreshAir that's sporting her English 'colors'.

My employer is letting me go early. We should be on the road about 3:30. Hopefully traffic will be a minimum going thru Santa Rosa. We should arrive there before dark.

See ya soon

[Yhottys]

We're on the road with our personal mini caravan - the 1974 Tradewind leading and 1976 Caravan bringing up the rear.

We just entered Novato and will be there soon. Yay!

[VIKING]

I just spoke to Toddster a few minutes ago, and he's on his way too. He should be arriving at 5:30 or 6pm. I'll be driving up from Boulder Creek in the morning, as my son is turning 24 and his party is on the beach in Santa Cruz tonight! I'll be there by noon tomorrow, just in time for Happy Hour!

SeeYa

What's a good time to pop in and say hello? I couldn't find an itinerary for Saturday. Last year I got there in time for a great meal. I brought a salad but there was plenty of salad. What should I bring tomorrow?
Casini will only let me stay for an hour as a visitor. I think I stayed three hours last year!
Neil, I got your PM and I'm glad everything is OK. Should I bring my Dremel just in case?
See you all tomorrow!

Only an hour? That sounds kinda silly but I guess Casini has a reason. Of course the usual Saturday activity is open house during he day then the pot luck is at 6pm. Casini has placed a check in booth just past the store and are stopping everyone. I can't imagine the booth is maned in the evening so say you arrived just before th pot luck and get your 1 hour pass then by the time you are supposed to leave I wonder if there would be anyone to check on you. Maybe if you stopped outside then rid in with a camper like one of us picks you up. I'll ask tomorrow if you like. My tooth problems are becoming non problems. Thank you. I sat down to post pictures but I'll wait 'til morning as I am smas........tired now.

I'm just going to post pictures in order with none of my usual comments, editing and 'fotoshop' applications as Lynn and I don't want to miss any 'socializing'. I left the battery for my SLR at home so I back to using my old Olympic digital camera.
