I'd never forget about you John! I'm just not that far along with putting the information up yet. The rest of the months are placeholders - they will get filled

 

[ziggy]

Someday we will get you back to Oregon! Too bad it won't be next year....

Agree! I saw your 2014 rally post today. I'm very committed to making all Regional rallies when possible. As you know, the NE Regional rally is the weekend after your chapter rally. As such, we begin to make our way to the NE the weekend of your rally - so we miss you again - sorry But I've always told leadership, don't schedule your rallies base on my availability. And leaders have done well to schedule their rallies for dates that work for them. When those are done, I look them over to see what I can fit into my travels. This is why my appearance seems so hit-n-miss. Because it really is. Somehow though Kristy, you and Mark will still have fun

 

[ziggy]

OH, we will have fun. You just won't be having fun with us!

Jim and Nancy, it was great seeing you at the Pacific Regional Rally in Temecula, Calif last weekend. Hope you can make it back out to Calif again next year if you have time.

 

[lindaw]

Sounds like a pretty busy schedule to me, hope we will see you down the road somewhere.

And it's not complete yet Got more months to load, plus a bit of fill-in here and there. Will you be in Nashville this weekend?

Tony - it was fantastic to see you and Layla for the 3rd time this year and in as many states. We enjoyed our trip to Cali! There's a strong chance we can make John's 2014 Regional - just depends on the exact timing of it. We may have to fly there from the road. Like Minnesota.

Central Region Rally added to post #1 for first week of October.

Laurent - see you at lunch today!

Anyone else here in the RGV that we'll be hooking up with, post #12 in this thread has my schedule. Karen H let me know the Don Wes Flea Market is not open on Thursday, so I moved our planned visit there to Sunday afternoon.

 

[JohnD]

I didn't see Colorado on your list . . .

And we have an HOC Colorado rally next week . . . which I will be attending!

I'd love to show you my new truck (which only has 1261 miles on it as I type this)!
