Post by: matap on January 20, 2011, 03:57:41 PM
squaring things away to see if I can make it.  what time is the meet up?  I've never been to Gaidos, so i would say there for lunch and I'll probably need to book it back as I have dinner plans fairly early.  Again, not sure if I'll be able to make it, but is anyone leaving from the I-10 west area?

It's looking iffy for me.  mom's car was hit about 2 weeks ago and totaled.  She wasn't in the car when it happened, thank god.  But she calls me tonight and decides she might want to go car shopping this Saturday.  great impeccable timing.  :banghead:  I'll let you know.  maybe i can convince her to wait a couple days till monday or something.

It was good to get out with everyone, I hadn't been on the bike since the tech session at your house can't remember a real ride before that. Thanks again for the loan of the gloves , somebody would have had to feed me at Guidos without them.

It sure was nice getting out.  Pretty chilly in the morning, but it was well worth it with a day like we had Saturday.  Nice seeing everyone and food was good.  If I wasn't in such a hurry to get back home for another get together that evening, I sure would have like to take the blue water highway.  maybe next time.  Thanks Alejandro for setting up the ride.
