Are you coming? :)

Neal All I need is a 30'x8' piece of level dirt and a power hookup.

It will be a nice leisurly drive from So Cal to your neck of the woods.

Also I'll be towing something that will give Rebeltwo and me something to talk about besides SubSims and I have a extra bunk for a scotter driver.

Neal,
How long till the offical program is set? I will make all my reservations as soon as everything is set.

I don't know! I planned to change jobs this year because I am bored out of my mind. Every time I try and say I need a challenge, they just get out their checkbook and give me more money. It is an effective strategy on their part because it ultimately shuts me up for a while, but in the end.... you know what I mean! :D

So, if i am still working where I am, 90% chance! If not, then probably 10% chance.

I'm on the fence!

I will send out a newsletter early in Feb, if there is enough interest we should have the date confirmed soon after.

I will try to go, I'll keep you posted.

[quote=M. Sarsfield]Neal,

Tulsa is about an 8.5 hour drive away. I could probably make the drive. It would be nice to check out the Cavalla and compare her condition to the Batfish. I'll put the dates on my calendar as tentative, but I don't foresee any reasons not to be there at this time.

Sarsfield;
Keep me in mind and we could convoy to Galveston. I'm in Broken Arrow.

Sweet Idea Neal, count me in. I hang out in Houston/Galveston all the time! Looking forward to further details.

couple of questions would be...

1) How kid friendly will this be...I see the sub allows anyone to stay on board over 5...
2) they recommend taking watches during the stay on the sub....for what? :o
3) the trip to the shooting range...will someone be handing out firearms and perhaps unlimited ammo?
4) sunday at the ranch...will there be horse back riding, roping then branding?
also so I should bring the guitar and pedals?

Great Neal,I have already set my calendar for those dates.:D

Hi Neal! I have every intention to be there. Remember you promised some great TexMex :)

Will do. Btw, we have a reenacting event on the USS Batfish the weekend of May 23-25, if you want to put an enlisted uniform together and help out. We have a Yahoo Group titled 'batfishgroup', if you want to get more info and be in the loop year round.

Tongue in cheek, are you going to sink a Japanese submarine or follow a Russian Yankee class ... ? :cool:

Have been to the Batfish? She's the WWII version and not going anywhere any time soon, since she's on dry land.

hi neal thanks for the invite but i live in michigan and im on social security so i cant make that kind of trip but would have liked to be there with you all as iam a huge submarine fan as u all know i have every submarine movie made practically well thanks again for the invite

Wow! The House just voted for the new ecnomic incentive bill to include disabled veterans ... looks I'll be able to come for sure now. :yep:

Thanks Uncle Sam :up:

Alas, we'll miss you. I'm planning to pull out all the stops on this meeting, will be promoting it heavily. As you can see, Bill Nichols is attending, that in itself is a good reason not to miss this meeting--the man served aboard America's first nuke sub! :rock:

Count on it. :yep:

This would be nice to attend, but doing a ball trip in July ( Yankees, Tigers and Jays ) so I don't think two trips would go over to well on the home front :oops:

Hopefully next time :yep:

I may be able to go
 

Neal, I might be able to go. Texas is kind of far but it would be great to attend. I have to see with what monsters of steam I will be working with though. So I can not say for sure just yet if it is a definite go. Are we allowed to go through the fire rooms and engine rooms on the Texas Neal? If not I would need a bunch of you to distract the people so I can sneak down there. We can even plan it out the night before:hmm: , "secret ops to get the snipe in the pit" <plays mission impossible music>
