Looking ahead a little, I can see that VALENTINE"S DAY falls on a Saturday.
So I guess that toasts the second weekend in February.

Would we rather get together earlier or later in the month ?
The dates would be....

2/7 or 2/8
2/21 or 2/22

Same Bat Time...Same Bat Location...

So far , I've just been reading these threads on the meetings you all have been having. You have been having a lot of fun with them and I was wondering if you would mind another guest at your next one? Latter in the month is better and I don't mind driving - that is the fun part!

Same Bat Time...Same Bat Location... I know you're all talking about a Feb. meet and Saturdays are good, but would all you Easterners consider Sunday the 16th near Tinton Falls NJ? I'll be in town and I'm looking for some MM'ers to do a late breakfast thing with? (We will be at a wedding reception on Saturday and we'll be recovering a bit in the early morning). We'll be at the Courtyard in Tinton Falls, anything good to eat at near there? Just a thought....... :rock:

I have to schedule this in my dates for February since I work on the weekends.
If we wait until later in February, the chances of good weather are better than earlier in February.
Does everyone agree with this ?

I am going to lead the votes and say that we look at February 21st as the tentative date.
Either Benigans in Yonkers, or a mutually agreed spot in New Jersey
(weather permitting for us NY peeps).

We also haven't heard anything from Troopcar, so I am wondering if this date is good for him also.

Cast your votes !!! :rock:

THANKS

01-23-2004, 04:06 PM
Hey everyone,
February 21st is fine with me (and so are the other dates).

Regarding JRZYGRL's visit to NJ, I think what she has in mind is to possibly have a get-together in the Tinton Falls area around noonish on Sunday, February 15th. Don't know if y'all would want to consider that the February meet or to make that an additional meet for anyone interested. It's an "and/or" question. So, the choices thus far seem to be:

1. Meet @ Bennigan's or elsewhere on Saturday, 2/21

and/or

2. Meet in Tinton Falls, NJ on Sunday, 2/15 (this date is OK for me, also)

I'll answer JRZYGRL's PM to me when I get off work. I personally know very little about Tinton Falls, so would not be able to help pick out a good spot for a meet there. Maybe someone more familiar could suggest a spot that has good Marauder parking?

Actually the big thing with me is the weather. As Marty mentioned in another thread, I also don't want to drive the Marauder around in the salt-encrusted northeast.http://smilies.sofrayt.com/1/q/weep.gif Should we come up with a back-up snow date as well?

What does everyone think: one meet or two? (I can do both as long as roads are clean.)

Later,

I can do the 21rst for sure - any location, 15th in NJ maybe. Weather no problem - mine is a daily driver and it goes out if the roads are even remotely passable. Have driven every storm since winter '02 with the big Goodrich's w/no problem.

Not that I wanted to reply to my own post, but, I haven't got this new set up quite figured out yet, my blondness taking over again...As far as I'm concerned an MM isn't a requirement, any vehicle you're driving for the winter is fine,
I'm, looking to meet all you fine people, the car is a bonus!!!

I found a restaurant that opens at 11:30 in Tinton Falls called Charlie Browns Steakhouse. It's quaint and looks like it can accomodate some vehicles. Found it on Beachcombers.com website. If anyone has any other suggestions in the immediate area, by all means let me know..I'm game to driving the rental we'll be in a little ways from Tinton Falls if this doesn't work.
Just no flaming if we show up in a Monte Carlo SS or something..... :nono: :depress:

We'd like to propose a get-together in Tinton Falls, NJ on Sunday, February 15th at 12 noon (will post addess later). This may work well for those who work on Saturday and can only do Sundays.

Please post if you can make it.

We can also plan a local meet for Saturday, February 21st at Bennigan's Yonkers or elsewhere in New York.

So what do y'all think? Hope most of you can fit it one or both on your calendars! Choice of two meets in one week! Maybe we can set a new record on MM.net . . .

Hey marauderers,

Here's the location for the February 15th Jersey meet:

Sunday, February 15th
12 noon
Charlie Brown's Steakhouse
1202 Sycamore Avenue
Tinton Falls, NJ 07724
732-460-1160

I called them to make sure they had their own parking lot (no street parking for these travelin' Marauders http://smilies.sofrayt.com/1/j0/clever.gif). Besides, it's too hard to get a group shot on the street!

Here's the link for directions:

Directions to Tinton Falls (http://www.charliebrowns.com/index2.htm)

Now all we need are clean roads. By the way, how 'bout the rest of the Jersey marauders? C'mon, we know that folks in Jersey love nothing better than hittin' the road on a Saturday or Sunday with their favorite ride (something to do with "Born to Run" maybe). How do I know? Years of sitting in traffic on the turnpike or GSP trying to get to south Jersey or the beach. But it was always worth it. So c'mon out!

OK, I just discovered that the link for Tinton Falls won't take you to the directions for one particular restaurant like other websites do. So, when you're on the home page, click on "Directions to our Restaurants" on the left side. Then, on the new page, scroll down to the "Southern New Jersey" section and click on "Tinton Falls." Gives directions from various roads.

Hello All,

Sorry I haven't been more engaged with this conversation, I just got back
from being in the hospital with a serious case of walking pneumonia.
6 days of intraveneous antibiotics is not something I would wish on anyone...

Following the conversation, it looks like we are having TWO meets in February ???

2/15 - Charlie Brown's Steakhouse, Tinton Falls, NJ
2/21 - Benigans Restuarant, Yonkers, NY

I presume that both of these meets are taking place at 12:00 noon ???

The ride from Benigan's, Yonkers, NY to Charlie Brown's, Tinton Falls, NJ shoud take use about 1 hour 20 minutes according to Mapquest...
MAPQUEST DIRECTIONS (http://www.mapquest.com/directions/main.adp?do=rev&1g=w6MHWKOhurg%3d&1y=US&2a=2%20Executive%20Plz&1z=07724%2d3209&mo=ma&2s=NY&2c=Yonkers&1l=cQuALEEQ36g%3d&1ex=1&cl=EN&2ex=1&1n=MONMOUTH%20COUNTY&src=maps&2g=DLK4BnIhX8I%3d&did=1075477728&1a=1202%20Sycamore%20Ave&un=m&2y=US&2z=10701%2d6801&1s=NJ&1c=Tinton%20Falls&2l=gvuh%2fjXJWCA%3d&go=1&ct=NA)

All of us starting from Westchester can meet at Benigan's at 10 am, and process to NJ,
meeting up with those traveling from Northern NJ at the Vince Lombardi Rest Area off the NJ Turnpike.
Is the Vince Lombardi rest area convenient for our Northern NJ MM Owners ???
Vince Lombardi Rest Area (http://www.state.nj.us/turnpike/nj-vcenter-lombardi.htm)

We can also stop at the Thomas Edison Rest Area by Exit 11, off the Turnpike, if anyone requests us to...
Thomas Edison Rest Area (http://www.state.nj.us/turnpike/nj-vcenter-edison.htm) <<<--- :bows: STARBUCKS

We can leave from Vince Lombardi at 10:30am and leave from Thomas Edison at 11:00am.
That should put us all at Charlie Brown's for 11:30am, give or take any incidents and weather permitting...

Does this sound like a good plan for all ???

p.s. Westchester MM Owners...
Since we will be travelling through New Jersey, I suggest that you put off purchasing any fuel on that day, until we are returning to New York.
The cheapest fuel in New Jersey can be found on Route 4, just before we cross back over the GW into New York.

12 noon on the 21st. Looks like it's happening @ Bennigan's off the Saw Mill River Parkway in Yonkers. I'll post map and directions when the date gets closer.

As far as Hooters in East Meadow, see if you can rally support for having the March meet there! As far as I know, it's OK for me.

OK! Here is what is driving me nuts!!!!!!!

Wipers come on when they want to. The switch still works. Once the wiper start the headlight come on and will not shut off. You must turn the car off. Now most of the time as soon as you start the car up the wipers start again:mad:

The lights are OK? But the wipers sweeping a dry windshield on a sunny day:fire:

Hey marauderers,

Here's the location for the February 15th Jersey meet:

Sunday, February 15th
12 noon
Charlie Brown's Steakhouse
1202 Sycamore Avenue
Tinton Falls, NJ 07724
732-460-1160

I called them to make sure they had their own parking lot (no street parking for these travelin' Marauders http://smilies.sofrayt.com/1/j0/clever.gif). Besides, it's too hard to get a group shot on the street!

Here's the link for directions:

Directions to Tinton Falls (http://www.charliebrowns.com/index2.htm)

Now all we need are clean roads. By the way, how 'bout the rest of the Jersey marauders? C'mon, we know that folks in Jersey love nothing better than hittin' the road on a Saturday or Sunday with their favorite ride (something to do with "Born to Run" maybe). How do I know? Years of sitting in traffic on the turnpike or GSP trying to get to south Jersey or the beach. But it was always worth it. So c'mon out!

Got in around 11:30 last night. I owe you all an apology for running out so early. Had to head South to get my boys from my cousins, which was not originally planned, before heading back North again, talk about a whirlwind tour of Jersey, we put 500 miles on the rental car!!!!!
It was an amazing pleasure to be in the company of so many fine people from all over the area. Am hoping to head out VIA the blue MM this Summer, I'll definitely be looking you all up again. Enjoy next Sunday, wish I could be there..........Pam, next time for sure..........JRZY

Folks,
I've looked at/heard a dozen weather reports covering the rest of this week. All the predictions are for rain this Saturday. http://smilies.sofrayt.com/1/q/bawling.gifhttp://smilies.sofrayt.com/1/q/bawling.gif

Does anyone think it would make sense to have the Bennigan's/Yonkers meet on Sunday, 2/22 instead? The prediction for Sunday is for a sunny day w/some clouds, but no rain. Sure would be nice to hang outside with the cars for a bit. We can also wait a bit and see if Saturday's forecast improves.

Thoughts, anyone?

Snow was predicted for last night, and I never saw a flake either... :shake:

I say we wait and see what happens Saturday morning.
Just keep checking this site for updates.

If we change the date to Sunday, some of us who planned for Saturday, like me,
won't be able to make Sunday, along with others I'm sure.
Worse comes to worse, those people who want to change it to Sunday can meet,
or we will just wait until March and meet at Hooters, East Meadow, NY !

Vern -- Great minds think alike. I also just did the weather.com hourly forecast.http://smilies.sofrayt.com/1/b0/deal.gif

Everyone -- I think it's looking like we should go ahead and try for Saturday. With luck, the rain will have stopped in time for folks to make the drive. The light rain is supposed to stop mid-morning. I'm one of the lucky ones who can do Saturday or Sunday, but many of you can't.

So, I'll take the liberty of posting the location details:

Saturday, February 21
12 Noon
Bennigan's Restaurant
2 Executive Boulevard
Yonkers, NY 10701 (although it might really be 10703)
914-966-1100

Link to map. (http://maps.yahoo.com/maps_result?ed=NRmn9.p_0Tq59KM QriL1MSAYgfEpmidEN9r8chRm&csz=Yonkers+NY+10703&country=us)

Executive Blvd. is Exit 9 off the Saw Mill River Parkway. If you're driving North on the Saw Mill, Exit 9 will be a jug-handle off to the right, then cross over the parkway (as if you were making a left off the pkwy). If you're driving South on the Saw Mill, Exit 9 is just a right-hand turn.

Once you're on Executive Blvd., pass Consumer Reports' National Headquarters on the right, then just continue straight up the hill, around the curve, past the water tower, and you'll see Bennigan's on the left. (Watch out for the occasional deer, coyote, and wild turkey on Exec. Blvd. -- no hunting allowed!http://smilies.sofrayt.com/1/e/ak47yl.gif)

Just don't confuse Saw Mill River Road (Rt. 9A) with the Saw Mill River Parkway. The "road" runs parallel to the parkway (east of the pkwy).


Can most of you still do Saturday? Comments?

Thanks,

Marty,
That would be fine, but maybe it's a little late in the game to find a place that's suitable and then let everyone know right away. Let's try to come up with a new place for April? (Looks like March will be in East Meadow.)

Addendum to my previous post above:

Just remembered that we left a really healthy tip last time for the server(s). How would they know that their service is lousy if folks leave them a generous tip? Maybe it makes them think we were totally pleased?

Subhead: "Area Residents Accustomed to 'FBI Invasion' on Exec. Blvd"

(Only kidding, but they really should do a story about us. Would be nice to include some happy news for a change . . .)


We had a fun meet on Saturday @ Bennigan's in Yonkers. It was great seeing fellow Marauderers again, including some new faces. Weather was great, although it did get a bit chilly at the end.

Looking forward to the March meet on Long Island. Hope it turns out to be during an early spring heat wave!
