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:


RDP

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>

I live one state away in New Mexico. I plan on going. See you all there.

Yes, but Houston is still 800 miles away, right?

See ya there amigo ...

yes, Texas is a verry big state! But I have a good time everytime I'm there. Looking forward to it, comrade.

Houston, galveston!!
 

Count me IN

Would really like that if possible there!

Yes, the engine rooms are open to the public. Plus we can schedule a special hard hat tour. At the 2004 meeting, after I left the group at the Texas to get the Bar-B-Que started, they corralled a docent and were given access to areas of the ship normally off limits to the public.

Hey
 

How could I miss 2004 and I've been a member since 2001?....hmmmm

I'm coming,,always wanted to see Texas,,,
Right now with the weather we have here in Michigan,,I could go tomorrow.....

I'll bring some Swedish beer.......:()1:,,,,I mean r e a l beer.

BTW,,,SH4 was voted "Sim Game of the Year 2007" in PC gamer...

How do we replay and confirm?...:)

DAMMIT!!

I have my first child due the first week of October. =[

Neal, I have some bad news...my itinery places me in the US during Sep/Oct. This means that if I can work in a "long weekend", you may have to suffer my presence for a few days.

BTW, how far away is Fort Worth?

Depending on how you drive 4-5 hours...I plan on coming down from Dallas if I can get vacation time arranged...:up:

I should be able to make it in Oct! I'm in Laffayette nw, so its only a few hours drive for me.
