Eastern New England January Meet (Repost)

[Go Mifuni]

Happy New Year!!!

Now that we've settled in after the Holidays, it's time to get together again. We had a nice gathering in Auburn in Nov. Thanks to all that joined us. Haggis and Ladyhawke win the award for farthest traveled!

Paul T. Casey will be heading south the last weekend in January, so we should get together before that. I'd also suggest, as our NE Patriots head to the Superbowl again this year, that we meet on a Saturday so we don't interfere with our :cheer: !!!

Here are my suggestions:

Date: Saturday, Jan. 15 (MLK weekend) or Jan. 22

Location: Cracker Barrell in Wrentham for breakfast or lunch
http://www.crackerbarrel.com/trip-newstore.cfm?doc_id=953
(Exit 15 off Rte 495 - Wrentham Outlets next door)

or

Piccadilly Pub in Franklin for lunch
http://www.picpub.com/locations/index.htm
(Exit 17 off Rte 495 to Rte 140N)

I know Cracker Barrell has a large parking lot. I've only seen PicPub from the highway.

Spouses and Significant Others always welcome!! Please chime in and make plans to attend!!
I thought I would repost this so as to try to get more attention.
Is ANYONE interested in this?
I believe the general consensus was that we get together this Saturday so as not to interfere with the Pats game on Sunday or the New York get-together next weekend.
What are we doing?

This Sat. is fine with me. RF can't make it. Family Duties!

OK - who else! I know Paul and Cooper held up their hands!

Mary can't you release RF from the HoneyDo list at least this one time. He can make up the work on Monday.

[Paul T. Casey]

I'm in, which place would we like?

[Go Mifuni]

Mmmmm...Cracker Barrel has Chicken Fried Steak! Yum! :D

[Paul T. Casey]

Cracker Barrel is good by me, what's a good time? Noon-thirtyish okay? I need to plan when I pick up my daughter.

[MM03MOK]

OK - we're in! Cracker Barrell it is, in the noon-ish timeframe. Earlier is OK too.

Sorry, folks, I can't make it due to ski club chaperone duties that begin in mid-afternoon. Wish I could have made it to the Pic back in November.

Go Mifuni + 1 :D

Crap!
Would you believe that after all this work on trying to make this thing happen, now I have to bail due to a family thing. :depress:
Hopefully the next one won't be too far off.
Have fun.

[MM03MOK]

Actually, the following weekend would be the better of the two for us, so I have no problem in suggesting we do it next Saturday. Paul? Cooper? Same time and location on Sat., Jan. 22?

This will work for me!

[Paul T. Casey]

That'll be fine for me as well.

[MM03MOK]

OK - Sat., Jan 22 it is. We'll just make sure Cooper checks in. The rest of you? There's plenty of room for more! If you live within 30 minutes of Wrentham, there's no excuse!!

I'm pretty sure I can still make it. :banana2: (Celeste may or may not be able to accompany me depending on a couple of variables that day.) Looking forward to seeing everyone and hopefully getting a table near that nice warm fireplace at the Cracker Barrell. :)

Thanks Mary. I was thinking this thread needed a bump also.
I'm still in. Me +3.
I'm guessing I'll be there around 12:30ish.
My daughter's horse riding lesson in Spencer ends at 10:30. That's still pushing it. :burn:

Just to clarify the date - It will be on the 22nd, right?

Good thing we're doing this early, I'm hungry and that white slippery stuff will be falling out of the sky in the evening.

[SteveS]

I had a great time today.... It's always good to meet new people.
Thank you for hosting the meet!!

[Paul T. Casey]

I second that. Just got home, safe and sound. Camera still in the car, maybe photos tomorrow from me.

[Cooper]

Enjoyed getting together with all of you this afternoon! It was great to see Bob & Mary again; meet Mike & Family and Paul & Haggis and their wives for the first time; and of course my old Crown Vic buddies- Steve and Tracy.

Good food and lively conversation with great folks always makes for a good time. The weather is looking pretty rough ot there. I hope EVERYONE got back home safely!

Sorry Cooper, I didn't introduce you to my wife Chris (Ladyhawke).

Yes that is right everyone...Chris and I drove to Boston for lunch. We left Maryland yesterday and stayed overnight at a hotel 3 miles from the NE Meet.

As we entered the Cracker Barrel everyone was waiting in line to be seated. Chris got the camera ready and we sneeked up behind Mary and Bob, I gave Mary a BIG hug from behind. As I shouted "SUPRISE" and let go Chris took the picture. Mary's expression is a classic, both Bob, Mary and Paul Casey were totally suprised. We will post the pic of Mary's reaction in a day or two, I forgot the camera card download thingy.

We are at a Hampton Hotel in Ridgefield Park, NJ. We also have some pics the the drive down I-95 through RI, CT and NY and will post them to. The roads are not two bad it is just the other idiots out driving in it.

It always good to meet old friends and to suprise the snot out of them, and to meet new ones. Chris and I hope everyone made it home safe through
the "Blizzard of the Century".

Too bad the NY Meet was canceled tomorrow....or it would have been "SUPRISE". Well tomorrow we finish our journey home.

Are we CRAZY....Naaaaahh.

[MARAUDER S/C #5]

I hope you guys finish your trip with no problems. Good luck and be VERY careful.:up:

[Haggis]

Thanks Rick...we arrived home around 3pm no problems to report. Honestly it did get kinda hairy going through CT, NY and nothern Jersey. Stop at a Hotel in NJ to spend the night. This morning I-95 through North Jersey was fine then going past Newark airport it looked as though they did not even plow. major improvement to roads south of Philly on the NJTP. Then clear sailing from there to Home.

Glad the NE Meet wasn't cancelled or there would have went our surprise and you would have had two upset people on your hands. We had a back up plan if you guys had canceled. We were going to drive down to Mary and Bob's town and call them on the phone and tell them we were at the local store.

But it worked out for the best, now remember you are all more then welcome to make a surprise visit to a CAM Meet. The more the Merrier...:woohoo:

[Tallen]

Thanks for a great meet. I was great to meet so many great people and such assets to the Panther Platform community. I will start the Planning soon for the Medieval Manor Meet and keep you all posted on that. Below is a link to the pics I took at the meet as well as some of the pics. :P

We had a great time meeting everyone Saturday. It's nice to be able to put a faces to names. Yes, even the Yankee fans! :P
Looking forward to the next time we can do this.
Very, very interested in the Medieval Manner trip.
Definetly keep us all posted.
Hope to see you all again real soon.

Quick question:
My wife can't remember the screen name of the woman she was talking to about horse rescue at the meet and would like her email address. You can PM me.

[MM03MOK]

Thanks, Tallen, for the car pics. The people pics are in the Gallery.

I've never been to Medieval Manor before! http://www.medievalmanor.com/
Preference would be a Sat. 5pm show because of travel. Wonder how many we'd need for a private show on Sunday afternoon? Never mind - just found it - 90 min. Interesting note!: Groups greater than 12 must include men and women.

I still can't get over Chris and Gordon making the trip. You guys are alright in my book!!!!

That would probably be Paul Casey's wife Georgann.



Man, am I getting FAT. Time to go on a diet.

[Paul T. Casey]

I had a blast again, no surprise there. We are a great bunch of folks to hang out with. What I am impressed with, besides the the surprise visit from our CAM representatives, was that I finally had a clean car at one of these meets. The trip home was a little interesting, got to see the guard rail straight in front of the windshield a couple times. Made it back in one peice, that is good. Looking forward to the next one, when I get back. I'll post some more pictures in a day or so. Been a little busy moving the blizzard around lately.

[jgc61sr2002]

Looks like all had a god time. Hopefully you all made it home before the snowstorm. The NY meet was a wash/ snow.

[Bigdogjim]

Shucks all we did was deal with the Blizzard all weekend:mad:

TIme to go west or south:confused:

Snow sucks:rofl:

Snow sucks:rofl:
Towards the end of my 8 years in New Hampshire "north of the notches", I was discussing the "long winters" and an old timer told me to "get one o' them insulated buckets and fill it full of snow. Then you take it and start heading south 'till you find somebody that don't know what it is you got in the bucket. When you find that person, buy the property next door to him!"

[Haggis]

Here are some of the Pics Chris and I took on Sat. & Sun.

The first one is a classic Mary...SUPRISE!!

..and the rest of the pics are of the New England Crew and Cars.

Chris and I had a real fun time meeting everyone. :D

[Haggis]

Here are some pics of our drive home, well at least until Jousey, on I-95 through Rhode Island and Conn.

[Haggis]

Here are more pics from our journey home on Sunday. As we head down the NJTP with the NYC Skline in the background and to end it at the Delware Memorial Bridge.
