The rain forecast is now 80% for Saturday. I wasn't looking forward to a raincheck. Although the parking deck idea is awesome! Except I was gonna be the super nice guy and bring food to cook for everybody at the park.

They don't know their ass from a hole in the ground this far in advance (hopefully ). The last I saw was rain in the morning, but clearing. This will probably be one of those last minute things.

I hope that any rain is a Friday evening into Saturday morning thing. (we do need it)

I'm still giddy that I can wash my car at home


p.s.
Please don't think I'm strange if I'm listening to the Masters on XM at the meet

Well damn it... I was really looking forward to go to the meet this weekend. I had thought our game this weekend was cancelled but I was wrong. I will be at Duke University all weekend.

Sorry, I will be at the next one if it is before summer vacation.

Weather could still turn in our favor; dont' give up on an outdoor meet just yet.


You guys driving over from the Aboretum: Where and what time?


DC: Still on for Friday (if I've got my intake). Going to PM Josh now. Just got back from out of town. I'll give you a call tomorrow with and update.

Sounds good.

Where at in the Aboretum? Have you picked a spot?

If not, I'll suggest the end where the Atlanta Bread Company used to be - near Bed, Bath & Beyond - there are always lots of open spots in that lot.

Good News, there may be the off chance that the games are cancelled...again. I still may be able to come out. I'll know for sure on Friday.

FOR THOSE WANTING TO MEET UP THIS SATURDAY AT THE ARBORETUM AT 430pm:

we will be meeting up outside taco bell (it's really close to one of the entrances, theaters are behind it)

my car will still be at the shop, so look for me driving my free loaner car - SILVER 2002 MITSU LANCER p.o.s.

Ok, if we end up having to meet at the CP deck, where to meet is obvious, but basing it off of a bright, sun-shiny day, where are we meeting at the park?

I tried posting a map but it kinda sucks.
Does anyone live in that general area that can scope it out?


The good thing about having it later in the day is that we can update this thread throughout the day.

^Yeah, I saw it; it wasn't that bad...parking lots seemed to be clearly identified.

I think I'm the closest, but I won't have time between now and Saturday to check it out. One of these slackers without a job or that works from home needs to step up .

Great, y'all are going to be changing things at the last minute...just kidding. But since I don't have internet at the house, I won't know anything that goes down after 5:00 on Friday. Eric and/or JP, I'll call you guys Saturday to get the latest scoop.

roughly 2 months ago i swerved on an icey road (on alexander near providence) to avoid a deer. i wound up spinning the tsx around a couple times and hitting a couple curbs. air bags went off, car wouldn't budge, but i was scratch-free! they had to replace 2 of my brand new enkei wheels, worked the suspension/chassis back to health, but most of the time in the shop has been spent waiting on parts and trying to get rid of these damned seatbelt and airbag lights lit up on the dash

UPDATE: to all those heading to the arboretum on saturday, I WILL NOT BE THERE. i just got back to work after 7 days off and a new project has come up. so i will be working late tonight, fri night, and coming in on saturday =(.

i will still attend the meet, but will be late. arboretum people might want to pm each other and make sure a route is planned to the meet.

sorry for the inconvenience,
vinny

I play baseball. I tore my Rotator Cuff and Posterior Labrum a little while back and had surgery. I am still in rehab. I am playing with the College's Club Baseball team for extra workouts until my shoulder heals 100% for Varsity.

As said earlier, those who are closer to the University Area rather than the Arboretum will meet at the Harris Teeter, roughly 4:00ish.

We could push this to closer to 4:30. I don't think it'll take all that long to get to the park.
