Been a long time - how about another Picnic?

It's been a long time since we did some serious Bench racing! The SLFBA club in PA is looking to do a picnic in Valley Forge Aug 15th.

Any interest?

humm...i might go if there is going to be a big turn out

paging..ron, brian, anthony!!!:)

eric:)

Unfortunately I have class that day. It's a "turbo" class and runs 6-10 Friday, 8-5 Saturday and 1-5 Sunday. Not exactly what I want to do with my weekend in mid-August but it is worth 3 credits!

;)

I'd be interested but I'm on vacation 8/14-8/21 and won't be around.

Do they give tests halfway through the class?

:lol:
Thank God they don't! I'm a horrible test-taker. This class is on Entrepreneurship so I have 2 weeks after the end of Sunday to hand in a 20 page business plan.

;)

Any interest?

Nah, I just ate a big lunch.

paging..ron, brian, anthony!!!:)

Shhhhh, man, I was snoozing... like the whole dang summer.

About time something happens so I remember why I have that big shiney black lump on the other side of the garage for. :D

yeah..it's about time you take that shinny black lump out of the garage and put some damm miles on that thing!!!:D

eric:)

Hehehe... yeah, at 70K+, it still isn't exactly an LMC. (Low Mileage Club)

Actually I drove it yesterday to work. The quarry nearby decided to dynamite, which put a big dust cloud up and, yes, settle on the Trans. This was later followed in the day with a, gasp, thunderstorm, which we haven't had too many of lately. :rolleyes: So the car looked pathetic with dried up dust-water spots and dirty streaks down the side.

But it's okay, Eric... I washed it real nicely before putting it back in the garage. I'll polish it tonight and everything will be back to "normal"... all cleaned up and no place to go. :lol:

--ron

i just thought about jacki saying that she was'nt going..that means NO TACO DIP!!

damm we have to somehow steal the secret recipe and make this dip:D:D

eric:)

hehe, I actually think I still have her TD recipe. I'll have to look for it. I made it last year for a party I went to and it was a huge hit.

I'm up for another picnic. But I'm afraid to say that I will be in the Silverado. The Project has no tags:(. Would you guys ever forgive me for showing up in a, t .... t .... t .... truck;)

I can bring some pics of an F-body:D

I will be there. Ron, Eric, It would be cool to see you guys again. Try to make it.

Project Z28, come over to the house before the meet and you can drive one of the verts over to the park. :cool:

oh... I don't know about that... Bri is hard on the rear tires. :lol: He's been known to leave "smoke screens".

Yeah it will be cool to get together again. Maybe we can do a cruise through the park? I wonder if there is a need to reserve an area if there's a bunch coming down.

The taco dip secret is out! And yes Ron, somehow it always seems to be a hit. You would think people would be sick of it by now!

8 oz. cream cheese
8 oz. sour cream
1 package of taco seasoning mix
Small jar of salsa
Small head of lettuce
1 bag of cheese (I use the "Mexican" flavored stuff already shredded)
Optional:
Small can of black olives (buy the sliced ones if you don't feel like slicing)

Soften the cream cheese and then mix it with the sour cream and the taco seasoning mix. Spread on the bottom of dish (pan, whatever you use). Pour salsa over it - not too much though - just an even layer. Cut up the lettuce and put a layer on top of the salsa. Pour the bag of cheese on and then the olives if you like and there's the taco dip!

Enjoy it!

;)

I would love to dive a vert... but as Ron said I am known to waste some tread;). I do recall a few times leaving 1/2 of my tire on the ground where we were just parked. Driving somone elses car would scare me too much;).

Jacki!!!!! You know this is the internet! You cant post that here... everyone will know the secrets!!

Oh, wait, I'm moderator here... I can just change it myself:D

I'd love to go if I had a car! Would you mind a Jeep crashing the party?? :D

They're a great bunch of guys and I don't think they'd mind at all! The last picnic I went to I cruised in with my old 95 GT Vert!

And Brian - I figure people across the world are making a mockery of my taco dip trying to figure it out on their own so it is time for me to share. :D

;)

I'd love to go if I had a car! Would you mind a Jeep crashing the party?? :D

Yes, Bob, I would mind greatly if you smashed our party. Just 'cause you got your car wreck is no reason to wreck ours... oh, you didn't mean that literally... sorry. :lol:

btw, I thought you would have gotten yourself a C5 by now, or maybe making a down payment on a new C6 with the insurance money.

You are a smart man Ron, you are correct on one of your assumptions!

So is this a definate for Sunday the 15th? If so what time?

I'm glad its a sunday, that gives me time to wash the truck on Saturday;);)

Yep. At least I'm planning on it. Marked the calander and have submitted the flight plans to The Carol.

Hey PamperedZ, you started this thread... you going to show? Been awhile.

BobB... so what is it a C5 or a C6?

Ron, I'll bring the wheels...

Cool, man!
I reckon the set will fit into the spacious trunk of the TA without any problems. :D

Sorry, got stuck off line again!

We plan on getting to the park at 1PM. Hanging there for some time then doing a cruz for food later.

And I too remain carless, so the truck will make another appearance :mad:

so what time are we meeting on the turnpike??

eric:)

anyone have directions or a caravan comin from new jersey? i am lookin to head out if i can find a ride or someone to follow.

later
tim

so what time are we meeting on the turnpike??

eric:)

12:55. That'll give us 1 minute to fly down the turnpike, and 4 minutes to go up rt23 to the Park. :lol:


I don't know, how about I "pick up" you all at 12:30 after the Fort Washington exit. Although this time, call me when you cross the bridge into Pa and not when you are at Norristown... ;)

hey ron is that the first rest stop on the pa turnpike??

eric:)

hey ron is that the first rest stop on the pa turnpike??

eric:)

The first rest stop going westbound will be the one right before Valley Forge exit. It is after the Mid-County / Norristown exits. I usually come down to the Fort Washington exit and then sit in the first breakdown /pull over spot after there. It's about a mile after the Fort Washington exit heading west. It's really no big deal. I think it is easier and shorter for you guys coming up the Surekill anyway isn't? But if you are coming the long way, I could wait for you say around 12:30ish?

Where and when is this goin down? Dont feel like reading though posts, lol sorry, I saw the 15th in there, I wanna go.

All ya gotta do is read the first post from John...

VF national park. Main visitors lot at 1pm on Sunday


Ron, Us jerze guyz will most likely head up 76 right to VF.
Do you know the back roads to cut over to 76 from 309? If you go down Morris rd you can cut across past the Quarry to Germantown pike. then the pike to meet us at the 76/476 interchange.... its a bit out of your way but I thought I would throw that out there.


Tim, the easiest way for you to go is to just take the PATPK to the VF exit. Take 422N about 3 miles and get off at rt 23W. That dumps you at the main entrance to the park.

brian do you want to meet up and cruise over the bridge??

eric:)

Now I gotta figure out how to get there.

Bri and Eric... I figure the 76 route was easier for you both.

Um, yeah I would head down the Blue Route, 476, and wait for yous at the cluster-fart of Conshohocken Interchange.

Unless Mitch666 can figure out where Chalfont is, ( :lol: ) then I'll just pull him straight across the turnpike to VF exit and catch up with you guys at the park.

ron

brian do you want to meet up and cruise over the bridge??

eric:)


Sounds goot to me Eric. I just noticed the edgewater park... when did you move there?

i moved back home in april of 2003..i'm right now looking for a house in the area..hopefully soon i'll have my own pad!!:D

eric:)

HEY! HAHA I know where chalfont is, I live like 5 minutes from there.

I don't know about the weather for Sunday. :(
And I'm not around the following two weekends.
sucks.
ron

if it is raining i'll probably NOT go! if there is a rainout let's postpone it until september?!

eric:)

Yeah the weather isnt looking good right now. That hurricane will probably be sitting over us on sunday dropping alot of rain! I think I'm with Eric... if its raining I will probably sit it out also.

I'm hoping the rain will have pushed through by early Sunday morning. Lets not throw in the towel just yet. I'm keeping an optimistic veiw for this weekend's weather. :) ....course, there is no way I'm taking em out in the rain. ;)

What are you going to do with the Taco dip you made? I don't want four week old Taco dip.:lol:

Well looks like it's going to be nice afterall.
I'm going to dust the car and wipe off some of the cobwebs...

Bri and Eric... you still going to make it? I think I'll just shoot across the turnpike and meet you all there. The Carol left me lots of cash so maybe I'll go shopping at KoP. Bahahahaha... :lol:
ron

i had something come up so i won't be making this one...maybe we can try tyler state park next month?!

eric:)

Ron, I'm not sure right now. The forecast might be good but I can tell you it sure doesnt look that way. Everyting is still soaked here and the sky looks like it is going to open up any second...

Right now I'm thinking it would be better to sit it out and get some stuff done here at home. Liz went to the shore and left me a honey do list. My main reason for going was just to bring you the wheels... I dont even have an f-body to drive. Do you need them like today?

Brian,
Nah, no big hurry on the wheels. Take it easy, and work on that "honey-do" list. That'll make the Liz happy and a happy woman, might mean a happy Brian... :D
Eric posted maybe a Tyler Park happening next month. That might be better, as I might get The Carol to stop by with the Tahoe.
'Till then, take it easy, dude.
ron

Ok, Ron... a Tyler park meeting sounds good. I'm gonna hang out here today, a guy just called me about the leather seats I have for sale and is on his way over now.

Hey are you going to the GMEFI on the 28th and e-town? If so I'll bring the wheels then.

Nope.
I'll be on my way home from spending the week at Walt Dizzy World. :D Oh well.

Dizzy World!!! Man I love that place... can I go too?;)

Nope.
I'll be on my way home from spending the week at Walt Dizzy World. :D Oh well.


must be nice to spend a week in fla!!

oh and by the way can i take care of the mean black machine while your gone??!!:D:D

eric:)

I'm leaving this Friday evening. I'll leave the key under the front door mat. :lol:
I just hope that I leave the thunderstorm cloud that is hanging over my house behind. I'm getting sick of this raining everday. It wasn't suppose to rain today and yet this afternoon...
sucks
