Blind Squirrel Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 (edited) My Mrs. is out. Too cold for her. Also, the dishwasher quit on us. The new one is getting delivered on Saturday. If it hasn't arrived by time for me to leave on the ride I will make the ride. If it gets there first thing in the morning I will be installing a new dishwasher. I'll post up one way or the other Saturday. Edited November 12, 2014 by Blind Squirrel Link to comment
lawnchairboy Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Better fire up the Gerbings for Saturday.... Link to comment
TyTass Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Terri and I still plan to make it there ... possibly with Gerbings, foot warmers, and balaclavas in use. Aimed at no one in particular as I have cancelled before, too ... but although we're looking forward to a ride, in this weather we're more looking forward to seeing at least a few of you folks, so please don't cancel just because its cold. Please. Link to comment
KTsRidin Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 please don't cancel just because its cold. Please. What? This "hardcore" group (snicker, snicker). We're in, just not sure if I can talk Jennifer into a brisk ride. If she wants to come and won't ride we'll be riding in the vehicle of shame. Otherwise, we'll be looking forward to a warm cup when we arrive. Cheers all, Kirsten Link to comment

No need for shame about driving in ... why, if it ends up too cold perhaps Terri and I'll just trailer the bike there. I just didn't want to show up and no one be there (again). That's all.

jbr7t Posted November 14, 2014 Author Share Posted November 14, 2014 I may be coming via the truck. So far I haven't been able to work out childcare and such. So if I can come at all it will probably be with my two youngest. I'll post in the morning If I'll make it or not. Link to comment
Blind Squirrel Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 I don't have electrics so i'll most likely be coming in the car. Link to comment
jbr7t Posted November 15, 2014 Author Share Posted November 15, 2014 Unfortunately I'm out. My wife's travel plans got changed again so I wouldn't be able to leave Fredericksburg until 11. Link to comment
KTsRidin Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Jennifer and I will be there.... but in the car. I've got work travel so I had to leave the bike behind. See you all there (sorry to miss you James) around 11am! Link to comment
Blind Squirrel Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 I'm heading out about 8:45 for around an 11:00 arrival. Coming in the car. Chris, if you want a ride call me @ five 1 five nine 1 8 one. Link to comment

lawnchairboy Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 nice to see everybody. A beautiful but very brisk fall day... I'll try and upload some of the video off of the go pro later of the trip up. the spinach, feta, and tomato omlette was delish. chris Link to comment
lawnchairboy Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 it cracks me up I have to go 100+ miles to see 3 people who live within 20 minutes of me.... glad to see everyone anyhow... Link to comment

And we did so in very brisk temps. We had fun visiting with everyone ... great conversation ... nice back road ride on the return, but Terri's doubting she'll ever ride when its so cold again. Perhaps a pair of Gerbings pants liners will change her mind. Edited November 15, 2014 by TyTass Link to comment
TyTass Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Some Irish comfort food (corned beef and cabbage) is simmering away, hot showers next, followed by a toasty fire and a good movie. Link to comment
Blind Squirrel Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 I prepped the dishwasher for installation, but set it aside so I could cook up pork chops. They were delicious! It was great seeing everyone today! Hope to see everyone again soon! Link to comment

TyTass Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 I suppose we're talking in January at this point? Link to comment
KTsRidin Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Dec... only a few days left -> Jan... lots of choices When?! Link to comment
Blind Squirrel Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 January will be tough for me. We have people coming to visit either the weekend of the 10th or the 31st, and we are in Mexico from the 17th through the 25th. If you all pick either the 10th or the 31st and our friends do not come on the same weekend, I will be in. Link to comment
jbr7t Posted January 4, 2015 Author Share Posted January 4, 2015 (edited) Hey all..Sorry, I've been tied up in some other stuff and haven't been on the board for awhile. Trying to look back on what I missed....did anyone set anything up for January?.. EDIT Ok, I've gone back through now and see that nothing has been finalized as a January meeting. But it seems that a tidewater location is wanted. I haven't been to the Newport News Aromas, but I have been to the Williamsburg one. Its a nice spot. Unfortunately my weekends for January are pretty spoken for. So, I'm going to leave it up to y'all to pick a day. I will do my best to make it if I can. Edited January 4, 2015 by jbr7t Link to comment
Blind Squirrel Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 The 10th opened up for me. Anyone game to meet in Newport News at Aromas Coffeehouse, say 11ish? Link to comment
jbr7t Posted January 6, 2015 Author Share Posted January 6, 2015 I'm out for this Saturday. Got 2 sick kiddos at home. I'm sure I'll be playing catch up at work this weekend. Have fun and ride safe. Link to comment
KTsRidin Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Well that's funny - I'm actually up north for this weekend, so I'm out for Saturday James - hope the kids are feeling better soon! Link to comment
Fathom Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Not to threadjack, but is anyone planning on hitting the bike show in DC this weekend? If so, I could maybe host or assemble some sort of foolishness, either on the bike or off. Right now, the best weather days look like Friday & Sunday. As I'm off on Friday, I'm actually planning on being at the Convention Center when they open the doors at 1:00... In the past, this strategy has proven effective at minimizing exposure to excessive fingerprints and drool. If the R1200RS breaks cover at the show, I can guarantee I'll be laying down a nice base coat on both counts! Link to comment
TyTass Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 See ya' there. I might be able to sqeeze it in, though I will be driving this time. Link to comment

Though we often use this show as an excuse to go up to DC and take in the town, we aren't this year. Just too much going on with school. Thanks for the offer. Link to comment

Thought I'd avoid the crowds and spare my wife the agony of accompanying me on Saturday. I'll keep my eyes out for you, if I do make it there Friday afternoon. Link to comment
Fathom Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 On my way; should arrive approx 1:30. Link to comment

TyTass Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 (edited) Well, Terri's still not healthy yet, so our plans changed. Danged flu just won't leave us. Edited January 10, 2015 by TyTass Link to comment

TyTass Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Thanks. Had to cancel dinner at our fav restaurant. Link to comment
Blind Squirrel Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 The trend continues. Chris and I live about 5-7 minutes apart from each other, so naturally we travel 30 minutes to see each other. It looks like a good place when the weather is nice. Lots of outdoor seating. Link to comment
TyTass Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 (edited) The Aromas location in Williamsburg is really nice, great atmosphere, and the food is really good. Unfortunately, since it's in a tourist location they are nearly always crowded. We went to Williamsburg over the holidays and there was only room for the occasional 2 top, just like last summer when we tried to do the MACC there. So, I believe you're correct ... the Newport News location might be a nice regular thing for us HR locals. Edited January 12, 2015 by TyTass Link to comment
jbr7t Posted January 24, 2015 Author Share Posted January 24, 2015 Whats February looking like folks? I think I could probably make the weekend of the 7th or the 21st work. What do you think about something in the Richmond area? I don't think we've done Richmond yet. Maybe: http://blackhandcoffeeco.com/ or http://www.sugarshackdonuts.com/ Link to comment
lawnchairboy Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Either date works for me, either location. Link to comment
TyTass Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Lemme look, but I'm pretty sure the 7th is clear for me. Link to comment

jbr7t Posted January 30, 2015 Author Share Posted January 30, 2015 After consulting a couple friends that have been to both Sugar Shack locations, it sounds like the Parham Rd. location will be our best option. The place: Sugar Shack Donuts 1501 N. Parham Rd. Time: 11am Saturday Feb 7 Link to comment
Fathom Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 This is not helpful, as when I looked them up, I discovered that they just opened one in Alexandria... about 3.5 miles from my house. "Not a low-calorie foodstuff" indeed. Link to comment
