Ok CAMmers and fellow Marauder enthusiasts it is time to announce the next Capitol Area Meet. How does Sunday Jan. 9, 2005 at 2pm sound to everyone? It will be at the usual place...that's right...Big Bats on Kent Island. We have quite a few new members in the Capitol Area and it will give them a chance to meet other owners in the area.

It will also give us the chance to show off what we received from Santa. :santaw: The biggest factor will be the weather, lets all hope a nice day. So come on down everyone and make this a great meet and start the New Year off right . :toast:




...So i wont be attending meets for a while as it was fun being with other Marauders especaily at this time of the year it was like family..Merry Christmas everyone .Have a drink on me.

Mark you and Peg do not have to bring the Marauder just yourselves, your family and your presence is required. No excuses!! :banned:

Sounds good to me. I may have to do some scheduling shuffling ... but I think it's doable. Sunday timing is great 'cause I have a wedding on Saturday. :D OK, Stephen.... here's your Sunday meet !!!

Okay! Why would we "NOT" want to include you and Peg just cause you blew the MM? You're part of the "MM' and "CAM" family regardless, that is, unless you decide otherwise. Heck, we'd except you on a dog sled, but you might need to leave Saturday to be there in time......CU there......

Well let's see .... there was the Philly Cruise in April, Dyno Day near Gettysburg, Drag Day near Hagerstown in October, Medieval Times at Arundel Mills Mall .... So, the answer is yes. :D However, the Big Bats location in Stevensville seems to be fairly convenient to the center of mass for the member area. Remember, we have folks coming from southern Maryland, VA, PA, DE, NJ and other points north. :up:

And, it is just on the other side of the bridge ... first exit ... 2 miles max. :poke: Come on down.

I hope the weather holds out.

Anyone interested in a reciprocal Show & Tell session at Big Bat's. My nephew (or nephew-in-law if there is such a thing) would love to see a bunch of Marauders. He just bought a bramd new 36' International Rollback with "all of the bells and whistles" including some custom graphics for a mere $92K. I might be able to get him to meet up with us at Big Bat's. :D

Mike .... I watched him back down my sister's driveway between 2 rows of cars with 6 inch clearance --- he can handle it like it was a mini-Cooper. Lessons are extra. :rofl:

Don't forget the first meet at Dave-n-Busters at the White Flint Mall, it was either Oct or Nov of 2003. That's right you where not there Charlie, sorry. :(

And, the Hershey, PA NE Regional meet in October 2003, too !!! I could have gone to that one (2 weeks after I got my MM); but it took me a couple of months to find the MM.Net site. :(

I have missed all the CAM meets before, but I am going to make it a point to be there for this one. Even though I'm from the DC area, I'm currently stationed down at Pope AFB in Fayetteville, NC. However, I will drive home for the weekend just to make this meet.
I want to see some Marauders, AND I WANNA SEE 'EM NOW! :)

Are you going to be in the area for Christmas?

Are you going to be in the area for Christmas?

Yes, but not for long. Originally, I had planned on taking two weeks of leave through the holidays. However, our Commander has approved two 4-day weekends for Christmas & New Years (Military members are off Thursday and Friday of this week and next week). I'm coming home Wednesday evening, and I'll be returning to NC Sunday evening. For New Years, I think I'm just going to stick it out here in Sunny Fayetteville. :depress:

That way I'll save my leave for vacations, like MMIII. :burnout: :D

Mark, Don't feel bad...I have not had my MM at ANY CAM meets due to my springtime Oil Pump Explosion! :( :bigcry:
I hadn't found this website when I 'disabled' my ride.
This winter will allow me to install my forged 'Big Bore' engine (with Billet Oil Pump Gears of course) and this spring I will FINALLY be able to drive my Marauder to a CAM meet! :banana: :D :burnout:
We can discuss how 'naked' we feel at the January Meet!

Nope..It's at 'LaFONTAINE BLEU' in Glen Burnie...
All the Manufacturers and Equipment Suppliers donate big TVs, VCRs, DVD players, etc. as door prizes. They set up the TVs all around the hall and show the NFL playoff games!
I'll probably be in no shape to drive (Beer included with ticket) afterwards and will have Marianne pilot me home.

We made in back about an hour ago, had to run a few last minute errands on the way. It was good seeing everyone again and meeting new people, Defyant, Drives03marauder and Dave (I think his handle is "Toolman"). And let's not forget Drives03's son...er brother (J/K) Andrew. We missed having Mark & Pam, GordonB & Joan, Bob & Dot, Brendan and the little badgers and ESRO3D and his father. Also The_Interceptor was a no show, I hope nothing bad happened or he did not get lost trying to find the place.

Thanks again Shaun for bringing the Get Well Card and thank you to everyone for signing Bigdog's B-day card. Sorry I didn't call in time to get a cake.

Oops....forgot Joe & Marianne. Sorry, you guys were missed as well. :(

I'll certainly second the above ^^^^^ . As always, we had a great time ... was nice to meet some of the new folks (Defyant, Drives03Maraude, and matcotoolman) and was glad they could make it. Welcome to CAM :welcome:

Sorry that Dot and I missed the party. I tried to post a message early Sunday morning, but my ISP was down and has been more down than up since 1/1/05. Anyway, Dot worked Saturday night and I was called in bright and early Sunday morning. I thought I'd see you BigDog and the crew at the airport, but didn't get back that way in time.

Gordon, got your V/M message when I got up to go to work tonight. Didn't think you'd want a mid-night wake up call.

Anyway, we'll see you all at the next bash. I'll have a new ISP tomorrow which should take care of my down time. They came out an re-pointed my satellite antenna on 12/28, and didn't do the job right. Not enough signal strength, so when it get's cloudy/rainy/foggy, anything that will cause the loss of signal strength now kills my system. That won't happen any more after today.
