And a couple of Texans, too!

On August 26th I'm putting together a pot luck dinner at my house in honor of some COGers and GCEers who have done a lot for members of both clubs throughout the years.  Bernd Neumann and his wife Anette Arrenberg will be in town, along with Ted and Judy Adcock.  The Saturday evening during their visit is a great time to gather and meet some great people.  The calendar listing has the details on what, when and where.

We'll all be there {including us Texan's} !!! (b'kuz, I'm driving)
Thank you!!!!!

Ride safe, Ted

PS: Bernd's buying the beer!!!! {Don't tell him I sed that}.. <evil grin>

  I'm OK with Bernd buying, but don't put him through the hassle of trying to cart that stuff halfway around the world.  The Pacific Northwest is full of people who took up brewing great stuff so they could have something to drown their rainy sorrows.

Doh!
 
Hey Ted, where y'all staying in WA for this event? I was just looking at rooms and it looks like the Days Inn Auburn is going to be the best bang for our buck. $85 a night and it is right next to the Iron Horse Casino. Jami is talking about going up Friday night to make a weekend of it. :great:

Charlie, you have any other/better suggestions?
 
Thanks for the note.
Reminded me that I haven't arranged a room for that night / nights?
Charlie sent me info on a motel near his home. (I'll have to find his note)
  Let me check on that and we can pick the best of the 2. Stay in the same Motel.

Ride safe, Ted


 
Days Inn will be a better price than the hotel I mentioned.  I just have a personal hate for them after some bad experiences with cancelled reservations and refusal to honor AAA rates, so I avoid them if at all possible.
 
Yes Jo is here since a few days ago.
Hope can get a meet up together soon.

Awesome, Gumby, what are your plans? Looking to come up to the CA/OR border on a Thursday then into Charlie's place on Friday. I know his inflatable is in euro now. Hoping the counterweight can go. Sleeping arrangements?

You guys are more than welcome to stay if you are coming up through P-town, I'll find something inflatable you can damage. :rotflmao:

OMC we would love to see both of your faces and put you up..  :)
True Dat Sis. Trying to plan. Will be a hoot! :beerchug:

  Bring that voltage transformer with you, and I'll make sure it goes with the next traveler in 2019.

Uhhhh, funny story about that voltage transformer...    :-\

Tell him Mark, tell him.  :rotflmao:
 
Hey,, Gumby, Jlo, Good news..
I've been contacting the others.
I think 9 of us will be staying at your home.
Are you serving steak?

Ride safe, Ted

Well, that one was a 2 prong and I needed a 3 prong for my lap top so I swapped with Dan and he broke your's when he tried to use it  :engel016: . No really that's what happened. And I knew my luggage was going to be over so I made an executive decision to leave it in Breda. BUT Dan found a 3 pack on amazon I can bring up and they weigh like 4 lbs less.  :rotflmao: ;)
 
Jeez, that story is only partly true and you left out the parts about the fire extinguisher and Appfel Whiskey.  :rotflmao:

I was talking with OMC and he said he would be happy to stop at the local farm and pick up a side of beef on his way in. :beerchug:

I made reservations at the Rodeway Inn in Auburn. We are staying Friday and Saturday so that still puts Jami close to the casino. Plus, the Rodeway had a few more stars on Google than the Days Inn did.

If that's a three-pack of plug adapters, we only want to give those to people we don't like.  My oldest sister thought that's all she would need for a vacation in Europe, and she discovered it was a great way to get 220 volts into 110V curling irons. :-\  Next time we send someone OtP, I'll let them know why I won't be able to loan them a transformer.  :nananana:
 
Maybe that's what happened. Dan plugged in his curling iron. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm. It's that old watts divided by volts equals amps thang. That might explain the fire extinguisher, appfel whisky and Ralfs half shave in the morning.

Oops, my mistake. Not 9,,,, "10"..
We'll book rooms at the Rodeway too.. 
    When you said casino,, Judy voted YESSSsss!!
      (I voted no, but my vote was overrode)

Ride safe, Ted



 
I just cancelled our reservation at the hotel. Jami and I will not be able to make it this weekend. :'(

Well as usual Ted has delegated these responsibilities and as a good minion I have complied. Ted must comment on pics but I do know I see Bernd and Anette.

Ya we heard about it prior to leaving, and that is why we did not go. j/k :truce:

I had no idea what the amenities would be like. It was the cheapest I could find. Guess I should just stick with the Hilton! :beerchug:
 
Wish you well as you return concerning your home.
