Hey guys, I am coming out to buy "Jeffs74~914"'s old car (if you remember the thread he just got a /6 and the 74 has to go).

I would like to get together with anyone in that area for dinner on Thursday July 31st if possible. Brad, will you be around? I know nothing out there, so if interested how about suggesting a place? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chowtime.gif)

I will be driving the teener back to Fort Worth over the Aug 1st weekend (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) , so if anyone wants to send me a phone number in case I need it on the way - please feel free!

Brad, that sucks. Will I see you at the MUSR at least?

brant, I think the route will be south of you. The mapping programs tell me to go through New Mexico, either north through Albuquerque or south near the border.

If anyone knows better I'm open to suggestions.

Sorry about that. I had already committed to the Oregon gathering.

I will make the MUSR.

If you could come in a day earlier... we would be all set.

We could do a "Tied House" dinner like we do for other "out of towners".

If you are looking for a scenic route through calif then take 580 out of livermore
205 to manteca 120 to YOSEMITE over TIOGA PASS the most beautiful place on earth
to 395 south to barstow. A little longer than hwy 5 or 99 south but much much nicer drive
if you have the time. It's a route you won't soon forget!!!!!

Ok, Brad, to show how much I really like you I am seeing about flying rather than driving out.

My biggest concern would be taking my tools and parts on the plane - what are people's experience with checking bags with "scary" tools in them? I know I would not be carrying my meters, cables, and hand tools on the plane. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif)

Just check them as lugage (sp?) wont be a problem.

Let me know when and where... I would assume flying into Oakland would be your best bet. Its a toss between Oakland and San Jose airports.

Hooters has been open for about a month already. But there's about a 2-3hr wait. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bs.gif)

I know a girl that's working there.

Brad - you have a good memory. Not too fond of would be the best way to put it. Don't worry, I'm not a "hollier than thou" type (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

The good airfare is to SFO. I'll pick up a rental there and I'll be able to get anywhere. My dad is retired and was coming to see us (well the grandkids anyway) in August, so I had him back up the trip to co-drive with me.

So, we can plan it for the Tied House on the Wednesday the 30th?

Ok, next item. I'll be coming in on the night of the 29th (actually the morning of the 30th) at 1:30 AM. Where should I stay? Is there a cheap hotel you can direct me to?

How about a bed for me and my dad on the night of the 30th after we do dinner? Anybody got a place to sleep?

Thanks!

You can stay with me... problem is: I'm 1.5 hours from Tied House. I'm about 45 minutes north of the SF airport... Tied House is 45 minutes south of the airport. It would make for some "windshield time"..drive to my place when you arrive... then drive back down to Tied House later on that day.

The best bet would be to get you into a Hotel near the Tied House in Mountain View.

Problem is: they will 80-100$ a night rooms...
