Oregon/Washington Mini Meet Anyone?

Personally, I don't like the idea of having to share the road with someone 80+ years old, summer or winter. But thats just me opinion.

I have to agree, I will NOT ride with her.
She dosen't drive much these days, but she lives up by you, so she does pump her own.

Awwww, MAN!

It is with great disappointment that I must formally remove myself from this fun VX Meet. I've been "drafted" to take photos on Saturday, and it is for an organization I've worked with before.

The group is called Global Family Alliance, and they operate an annual respite program for Belarussian children. These kids are from the area of Belarus that was affected by fallout from the Chernobyl disaster. Every year, a group of families host children for two months during the summer, providing nutricious food, free medical and dental care and a variety of other services. It's a wonderful charity, and I really cannot say "no" to them.

Check out the operation here...they're really getting some great results. I have met some of the same kids over the past two years, and they really blossom with some good old Westernized food and medicine!

I hate to drop out of the Newberg meet, but these kids really will break your heart. They deserve all the support they can get!

Eric, I for one totally understand, that is far more important. Do keep lakefair in mind.

Techy, hey, any chance you can organize a friday night burger & beer call with the local VX'ers? I should be down there by 6pm.

Bummer Eric, but in a good way (I do some work along those lines at times, and, in the big picture, it is way more important than a car show!) Oh, and they do let me pump my own gas at times (when they are slamed and I get out and stand there - they have to take the nozel off the machine and hand it to you).

Row: Looks like You, Me, and JAFO, at this point (The Local PROTON is going to be out of town). I've got a normally scheduled home group get together with some friends from Church from 7 to about 9 on Friday nights. I'll let ya know when I hear what the plan is for this week, sometimes we skip a week or do dinner, you are welcome to join us if we're meeting, or go out before/after. I'll PM Ya with the details when I hear.

Hey JAFO, You're welcome to what ever we figure out as well. This is all quite last minute for me, so sorry for all the uncertainty (It's not like me!).

Thanks Techy. I will be leaving Oly at 2:30 so should hit Portland traffic just when it is starting to pick up, yippie, hey, I drive for a living so no biggie, just hope it's slow enough so I can read a book. Am surprised some folks from the Port/Van area haven't spoken up. I emailed most everyone down that way from my Pacific Northwest Email list last weekend but haven't gotten ONE RESPONSE and I use right guard, whats the deal P.N.W. VX'ers? I know BullDog and Eric are busy, but there are a whole bunch more down there like: BigMoTruckGuy, Consaka, Little Laurie, wow, just looked, there are a bunch in Portland. Anyway Techy, just made res at the Shilo on Sitka. name is John Ford in case anyone wants to check up on me there and take me out and wine and dine me. I'll bring some blue jeans in case I should get knee crawling,... I hope. Ain't it great to have a kitchen pass. Just sent you a PM with my cell #

I'm up for burgers or whatever.

Let me know I'll watch the board more frequently till Saturday.

I invited everyone at the North Valley Cruzzers to the show. Don't know how many will attend I will try and find out at Thursdays meeting.

Well I better get working on detailing the VX.
