Endobob Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 I thought we were going to make it to START 2017, but it looks like we'll be closing on a house in the Dahlonega area that weekend. After living in Atlanta since 1985, with a weekend cabin outside Dahlonega since 2003, we have finally decided to cut our ties to Atlanta. The new place is a quarter mile from a winery, and 3 miles from a network of Forest Service fire roads. Sounds like a great move on your part to relocate and a good location for a BMWST event with camping in your back yard. Link to comment

Seldon, it'd be great if you could cruise over, if even for a brief visit and allow us to help you celebrate the occasion! Link to comment

Foot Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 I maybe dragging a friend (Walter)from Chattanooga along with me. He has a 2004 GSA with the Touratech supertank on it, 10.1 gals. So if you run out of gas it will be good to have Walter in the group!! Link to comment

I hope something changes and you can join us! I give up. I will have to see y'all at the UNRally. Appreciate all the effort you were putting in to make Maggie work. Seems like the soon to be Bride and Groom are being awfully inconsiderate - they just move the whole shebang to Maggie! I mean, it's not like it's all about them! Arrive friday afternoon and leave sunday morning. See you then. Marty Thanks for confirming Marty(!) - Looking forward to seeing you! I maybe dragging a friend (Walter)from Chattanooga along with me.

The Valdez® has some competition this year! It's official, I'm out. I'll be moving up to the frozen tundra on MA and won't have the time to get make it.

Id's_OK Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Just a heads up, if you need to reach the Creekside Lodge, use the 800# (800-621-1260) rather than the direct line. Direct line doesn't have voicemail, and the message on the 800# says they are closed for vacation till 4/20, but they will be checking VM. Must be some vacation! I just called to make sure I had in fact made a reservation Link to comment
tallman Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Is that 4/20, or 4:20? Hmmmmmm... Maybe they are expecting people to bring, oh never mind. Link to comment

Jake Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Tim, You should be old enough to not know what that means. So, last week, my wife asked the electrician working on our house if he was going to "make that line a 420" pointing to the range outlet. He burst out laughing and replied "I'd better not, or else this whole place will go... Up In Smoke!" Good one. Link to comment

Please plan to join us on FRIDAY, April 28 at 6:30 for dinner AND awards ceremony at Snappy's Pizza and Italian. We have our own private dinning room that can accommodate our entire group.

Ken and I would like you to track your MILEAGE! I didn't think the auto-typo correction looked correct, so I quickly googled -millage and glanced at a heading about figuring millage taxation - and went huh!? I'm used to being wrong, so I moved on and posted. But I couldn't get it out of my head. So I just spelled it correctly in the Google - does anyone still have a dictionary - and of course, two words, 2 spellings and two kinda similar meanings. I've said it before - you just can't find good help anymore. Edited March 29, 2017 by workin' them angels Link to comment

TyTass Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 (edited) Unfortunately, I have to cancel. I just left a cancellation message on the 1-800 number for the owners, who are on vacation. As soon as I get a confirmation call back, there'll be a Creekside room available. Sorry to miss this one, but as I suspected last year when I stepped down from co-hosting, a new career path would get in the way. Hope to see many of you at the UN. I also hope that I'll have more control over my time by the time FART comes 'round. Edited March 30, 2017 by TyTass Link to comment
tallman Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Craig, Hope it works out down the road. Please work on control of FART, before control of your time. If however, you end up being able to control time, sign me up... Will miss you. Link to comment
TyTass Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Sorry, but I won't have control of my timing for FART either. I doubt I can plan for it much ahead of time. I'll just have to sneak in and if the timing works, then I'll come FART with you guys! (How nice of me, right?) All that said and behind me now, are you and Beth going to come UN this summer, Tim?
