I plan on being there for the bbq as well, Scott also, who knows - just going to cruze the coast back and forth - make it leasurely with curves, with Illiena and Kublia and who ever I can convince to come with me - Scotts camping - she'll haul gear in car as chaiser - so my back stays lite as well, and whoever I can convince to come - GT - JBOTDS!

the bad news: we can't make the BBQ.  the good news: this frees up a motel room for Saturday night.  we've got a (non-smoking) room reserved at the Motel 6 for Saturday only, with (we think) two beds. if you need the room, drop a PM and we'll figure out how to switch it over into your name.

FYI — My plans changed for Buellton weekend and I've released my Pea Soup Anderson room — n/s, king bed — for Fri & Sat. Hope this helps someone in need of lodging. | ||

I sure hope everybody brought their rain gear! Its raining with thunder and lightning (although those still on their way here know this)! Tomorrow is supposed to be good day though. | ||
| Sparky |
It was a very good day indeed. I think this pic pretty sums up the enthusiastic attitudes that prevailed for the American Sport Bike BBQ.  Mucho Thanks to Al and Joanne for pulling this off. Glad Jen & I made it! Sparky | ||

Thank you Sean, for your support, much appreciated. Its good to see that some people on this board have respect for the sanctity of a marriage! As for you others, Jerry and Reindog... I am appalled. Positively appalled that you would allow this "Barb" to be photographed in public with my husband in such an obviously intimate pose. How long has this been going on? And to think I counted you among my loyal friends.  Wish you and Denise could have made it, Jerry. | ||
| Reindog |
I wish Jerry and Shirley could have made it also. | ||

Farley and Denise are sorry they couldn't be there. FB&D | ||
