I wonder if Trader Joes allows overnight parking like Wal-Mart...we could just have our next rally there!

If that rally consisted only of you and I and our two Vintage Airstreams, We'd still have a REAL good time!!!

Shari,

I'm very serious about you using "Roadrunner" to polish! That way I know I have to do the polishing just as good myself, later....everywhere else!!

Can't have one spot shinier than the rest, you know!!

Do you want a trailer that has been completely stripped??? I have half a side...but I will get more done...if there's a chance of getting a pretty spot done!! My two teenage sons won't be coming to the rally, and I want to show them that "Roadrunner" has potential! They've seen a few pictures of others on the net, and definitely want to try polishing ours. (My boys think I'm a bit crazy about my "new" trailer, anyway!!)

I don't know about all of you, but I'm pretty excited about being at this rally!!!

(Me.... after those scotch's!)
See you all, soon!!

Ya know, as much as I've seen the Rocky Mountain rally on the forum -- and as badly as we'd love to be able to hitch up and go (it's only a hundred miles or so from here!!) -- I sure hope that somebody takes a bunch of pics and writes up a nice report on the rally!#$%@!

Astronomy is something I always wanted to be take a bigger interest in, and as soon as I bought the telescope, for Christmas last year, I had a BIG family emergency regarding my handicapped son and his residential placement.

That problem has been prety much all-consuming, but is much better in hand and under contrl now, which is a big reason why we CAN go to Colorado for the Rally.

Good for you, hopefully a rally will be a nice relaxation after a stressful year. We have also not gotten out much this year because I've been busy handling my late aunt's estate. It's been tough, so I'm looking forward to this little adventure to Colorado.

I'll be glad to help you figure out how to put your 'scope together. Sounds like fun! I find astronomy is a great way to relax in the evening. After all, you can just sit out under the stars with your favorite beverage and claim that you're actually 'doing' something! What could be better than that?

COArgosy78 · 07-25-2004, 10:17 AM

Hey Shari (and all you other Colorado bound forum members)...I know that the Open House is from 1-3:30 on Sat. but if I can't help myself and show up early (w/family in tow), will you boot me out. There are so many of you coming and I want to meet,greet and thoroughly inspect (I mean enjoy~~~~) every one of your babies-please!!!!

flamingo-kid1 · 07-25-2004, 11:50 AM

We are arguing here.. (imagine THAT, I'm such a sweetness and light type personality) about whether or not we need to bring a charcoal grill?

At least I gained a little room leving the dog bed behind :-)

InsideOut · 07-25-2004, 12:09 PM

Friday is the Chili Dump, Saturday is a catered dinner, Monday is our night out on the town...that just leaves Sunday for you. I'm sure someone will have a grill going...we have our Road Trip grill we will use and I think I recall the campsites having them...can't remember for certain though. If you need to lighten your load, leave yours home...

Shari

InsideOut · 07-25-2004, 12:14 PM

The Public Open House is from 1-4 on Saturday...the morning is for rally participant's workshops & demos. Some folks won't be at their trailers or have them ready to receive visitors before 1pm. We really would appreciate it if you don't come early, but if you must we won't kick you out...

No matter what...you'll find the time allowed won't be enough...I even feel that after the whole 5 days!

Shari

COArgosy78 · 07-26-2004, 01:37 PM

I wish we could bring "Mini" for the WHOLE 5 days!! Obligations on both the Fri. before and the Sund. after prevent it for this year. Oh, well, what will be will be and I know I will enjoy whatever I get to.

Ken J · 07-26-2004, 02:14 PM

I had this vision of 70 or so vigorously working on their trailers this weekend as I was washing/polishing/detailing mine.................

That phrase blood, sweat, and tears.... you may sweat, and may shed a tear from time to time, but blood should NOT be involved, although I know it's inevitable...

Ron

Did ya get my Email?

InsideOut · 07-26-2004, 03:08 PM

Well Saturday started out that way Ken...but Sunday, I dropped a rotary-cutter exacto knife-thingie on the top of my left foot & severed the tendon to my big toe...ouch! Vicodin is my friend right now...no margaritas for me!

Good thing the rally stuff is on auto-pilot now

I'll just be a gimp!
Shari

InsideOut · 07-26-2004, 03:13 PM

Yes I did Ron... Sorry you won't be able to hang out for the whole rally...bummer! Are you going to be able to stay Sunday night or just drop by? You can still have your 'goodie bag' & t-shirts...although I'm not sure someone else is going to back-fill your site at this late notice....we'll keep our fingers crossed!
