Its here. :D Trilogy kit #150 is due to be dropped off by UPS today. Installation is scheduled for the weekend of April 20-23.

Two of the famous Florida "Three Stooges" have generously offered to come up and bolt this bad boy on for me!

Tallboy (Chuck) & Carfixer (Claude) are scheduled to arrive at SeaTac at 3:15 PM on Friday April 20 and will be departing at 7:30 AM on Monday April 23. They will be staying at the [secret] hotel in the SeaTac area.

Install begins Saturday April 21 around 10 AM at my place in Everett, WA. Everyone is invited. I will be providing pizza and beverages. If you plan on coming, let me know so I can get an idea of how much of what we will need.

Saturday night will be dinner on the town. Anyone have ideas on where to take our guests for a memorable get together? Sunday, Chuck will be visiting with relatives in the area so I haven't planned anything for that day but maybe we can get together again that night.

Let's get into plan mode. We've got a month.

PS. Special thanks to Linda for making all the travel arrangements.

I sent out PMs to everyone who responded that they might want to come. If I missed you or you want the address, let me know.

Duncan - I didn't PM you since you'll be in tow with the bunch from the hotel, eh?

I'll be at the same hotel, yes. From there I have no idea where we're going though. Hopefully at least one of will know the details and directions.
the only phone number I have is BJs

The deed is done. Just got home from a great dinner with EMC and the Stooges and I am drained. I haven't had this much fun since I don't know when.

I was going to put a banana in there, but couldn't find one. We also caught Mike trying the samething to Scott's, seeing whose pipe is bigger:P

It was great to meet Claude, Chuck and Duncan. Great people. The stooges seemed more like brothers than friends. Hope their flight back went good. Thank you again for flying up and doing an awesome job. Top notch! You are welcome back anytime.

This was a great 'event'.
I'm glad I could make it, pick up some pointers from the Master Claude.
Met Chuck (who reminded me I sold him a Marauder leather jacket some time back).
Claude is a class fellow, and it was good to catch up with him again.
(Chuck you are a class fellow too, even if you didn't go to MV2 ;) )

It was nice to finally get up North to meet the ECM guys, Ryan, Bruce, Dave, Mike, Jon and that Scott character.
Good to see BJ and Linda again!

This could almost be dubbed MV5.2
