Dude, seriously, the day after Valentines? :a4:

 

[Greg In Austin]

Since this was rather impromtu from the beginning, we figure it is to get the locals rounded up.

A great opportunity to extend Valentine's Day to brunch or lunch the next day !!

 

[Greg In Austin]

So now the question is where to meet.....

Do we go for a spot that is scenic and has room for a group of large vehicles?

OR

Do we go for a spot with some good eats?

Thoughts? Suggestions?

 

[jage]

Considering it looks like just you and Joanna.... :a2:

 

[Greg In Austin]

We have at least one more.... and maybe two...

And I let SMB TX know so they can help spread the word as well.

As much as I'd like to be there I'll be doing some work in the Feather River Canyon in California on that date...maybe next time around.

Feather River Canyon Ric??? That's where I live, when not down here in Baja. What'cha doing up there??

 

[Txn2daBone]

Hey there Scatter,

Well I went right through Blairsden last month. Union Pacific Railroad has a little project going on from Portola on down to Oroville replacing worn rail on the curves. You know how curvy the canyon is in some spots and it doesn't take long for the trains to wear down the rail going around those curves. I'm a Thermit Welder for UP and I weld the rail in place once it's layed on the concrete ties. I'll tell you what...you live in a pretty amazing place up there. Being on the side of the mountain and looking down at the river is breathtaking to say the least. Of course, I'm sure the view you have going on down there in Baja is much...um, warmer than here.

Ric - You sure picked a cold time of the year to work on the rails. If you're going to be around in March or in the summer, PM me and maybe we can get together.

Scatter,

If I'm in the area you'll get a pm for sure. There's scheduled work down in Oxnard...Santa Barbara...San Luis Obispo...San Jose...Roseville...Sacramento and on up into Portland, OR. Think I'll be around for a while.

Drop me a note when you'll be in the Oxnard area, I'm right next door in Ventura, and work in Port Hueneme.
