Title: It s gonna be lonely...
Post by: AustinBoston on Sep 28, 2003, 07:05 PM
 This is going to be a quiet place next week, with so many of the regulars down in Virginia for the rally.
 
 We tried to get there, but just couldn t pull it together, with DD#1 in Bangkok and getting ready for the move, it just wasn t working for us. [:(]

 AustinBostonYea, I guess it will be lonely. I wish we were going too, maybe next year. I sincerely hope the weather is great and I m sure with the group of people that s going it will be a great experience.
 Happy Camping

 I didn t really mean to cancel but it is making me just a little bit reluctant. We will be using our valued funds for this trip and I want it to be perfect of course ..... I hope it will really be scattered and will be scattering away from the CG [;)]

 AustinBostonThe weather forecast really isn t that bad. There are a couple of days of " scattered showers" , which I can deal with. The other days are sunny are partly sunny, and the highs are no higher than mid 80 s. 80 s are a cakewalk for Southerners. In fact, Holly and I will bring jackets.[:D]

 AustinBostonPack a tent? Rent a Cabin? I own a cabin, on wheels, with tent ends on it!!! If I go, I m bringing my new trailer with me. That isn t the problem, driving 6.5 hours each way for a 2 day trip is too much IMHO... Now if they are willing to give me Monday off, then I d " consider"  it, and if they give me Monday & Tuesday then I would just do it. But like I said above, if pigs could fly....

 AustinBostonAustinBoston,
 
      " " This is going to be a quiet place next wee, with so many of the regulars down in Virginia for the rally. " "
 
 
 
    I will keep you heated up. You will not be lonely. Just stay posted.[:D]
 
 Did I not read in one of your threads that you were moving or house hunting? What is going on there? You might have to change your handle.

 Yes, we are moving to the twin cities.  I guess that means I join the chorus of those calling for a less eastern rally next year.
 
 As far as the handle is concerned,  It has been discussed in detail in another thread.  One thing I will not be is AustinMN, AustinMinn, or anything else combining Austin and Minnesota.  They town of Austin, MN is the home of Spam.
 
 Waaay back before the Coolboards, I wanted to register as simply " Austin" , but it was already taken.  So I registered as " AustinBoston"  so as not to be confused with the great city of Austin, TX.  Some have suggested that I stick with AustinBoston, but that might confuse newcomers who would think I was in the tired, old city of Boston, Mass.
 
 I dunno.  Maybe I ll just switch to Austin.

 AustinBostonAB, some of us other old timers will keep you company.
 
 Also, you need to rest up for the move and  take your vitamins.  Minnesota is full of people like Jeffrey as well as bad Norwegian jokes (I dont mean the jokes are about BAD Norwegians, but they are bad jokes about Norwegian)  (If you decide to fight fire with fire and need some bad Norwegian jokes, you can contact me, I ve got a bunch sent to me by my bad Norwegian relatives.
