Nice maps! Thanks!

Hee, Jet Puf, Oldpoopie and I will be in one car (mine), since we're married and he just brought his in to get fixed. :p We'll likely drive up the day of with y'all, not the day before.
By fixed, she means bodywork... Otherwise I'd be doing it myself of course!

Where did you see that hospital sign
The Legacy Hospital up by NW 23rd. :p It's actually in the opposite direction of the gift shop, though!

Rut-roh, sorry 'bout that. Yes, we don't have welders at home.

Yet.

we should be there before 9. i'd like to be out of there before 9:30, the GTG organizers want the TDI parking filled no later then 10.

Thats what I thought. I always like getting places early if at all possible. So would pulling out of the APP in Fife at 9 be a better idea?

I'm going to be optimistic and be there at 8:30AM. What else am I going to do on Sat morning... sleep? I will need to top off anyhow.

If FlyTDIGuy shows early too up maybe he can rid me of my glowplug CEL while we wait.

Again, my cell # is a few posts north so call if you are delayed.

I'll be there before 9am. I can clear your CEL but your ECU will reign. Until fixed, you will have the nuisance light to deal with. Aaron has glowplugs for $15. Hope you have that on your list.

Yeah, I replaced the bad one a couple/three weeks ago. Should have mentioned that.

Thanks FlyTDIGuy!

btw, it's nice to have you back on the forums, Pat. I was afraid we'd lost your wisdom.

Sorry, I won't be able to join the caravan. I'm gonna have my 6-yr old with me, so I'll have to do a blitz: wake up at more reasonable hour, drive, arrive. 6:30 @ safeway is a little too early...

Have fun !

Daan,

I'm going to have the 15 yr. old AND the 3 yr. old with me!:eek:

The older one will be trying to sleep and the younger one will be pestering him.:rolleyes:

Oh joy! If you notice me steadily speeding up, you know I'm trying to get there sooner to get the damn kids out of the car before I lose my mind.:mad:

:D

I can be the lead car if noone else wants to take the reigns. I'll have my cell and an ear peice for anyone who wants to call me in route five zero three three two nine two one eight eight. I think it'd work well to have a lead car, and a last car. those two cars can comunicate often to keep the caravan intact.
Okay, I'll be the last car and keep stragglers in line (with a gentle push of the bumper :p ) You can arrange the 5-way conference call :p

Return caravan was awesome
