Some of you have taken interest in a Castle museum meet, just wanted to set up a date for next month here.

Any weekend is good for me, with exception of the 20/21, moving.

We could either meet there, they have a small burger/deli restaraunt inside the place, we could have pizza/beer locally, or come back to my place for another BBQ or just get some burgers and hang out.

Any other suggestions are very welcome.

I'm in, wifey perhaps too, we'll bring the Cobra if the weather's decent.

I could bring another keg as well, if there's any interest... graemlins/beers.gif

im in, man its great bieng in a club that actually has activity in my area. i heard that beer was great. what year is your cobra? my cousin has a replica w/427, i wish i fit in it..lol

It's a 2004 Cobra, fun to drive, but it's a F*%d.

Craig, depending on when we meet, I may or may not have much selection, I've got the Duvel brewed and it's fermenting now, and I'm going to do another Raz Wheat next week sometime, and maybe a pale ale. I'm going to need 2-3 weeks or so at the minimum for the beer(s) to be ready. Unfortunately I drank all my IPA, and I've got some of the last Belgian Dubbel left, and while that one is good, it's about 7-7.5% and will have everyone schnocked in a hurry graemlins/clonk.gif

Regardless, sounds like fun.

And the new guy gets to share the tent with him as well. Baaaa!

Any ideas when we should meet?

If its around Thanksgiving I probably won't be able to attend. When its the Holidays and your in retail you work.

confucious say : new guy who shares tent often walk with limp next day graemlins/clonk.gif im sleepin in my car, lol

In November I'm available the weekend of 13/14 and 20/21. So hopefully one of those works for most because I'd really like to check this place out. I'm up for whatever on food. I'd like to try some more of Kinzli's beer :D I'll try my best to have the Chevelle with me this time.

Passing out in driveways with Ron around is a BAD idea ;)

The museum is open 7 days a week, so we could go whenever we wanted to.

The 13/14 is fine with me, Sunday OK with everyone? If not I will have to take that Saturday off, doesn't bother me to do so, but would have to put in for it asap.

If Jeff Brings beer, we would have to come back here and do some brew drinking and a little Q or eat burgers, something like that...

I dunno if I can have any beer ready by the 14th, in fact, all I might have by then is a bit of Belgian Dubbel (and that keg is getting close to empty) :( Probably the 21st is the soonest I can have anything ready...of course, there's always Macrobrew swill, or 12 packs, or...? smile.gif

Since Kinzli is slow to make beer and quick to drinking his existing stock (you the man Kinzli!!) how about we just have lunch at Castle? We could get something there, or each bring our own "brown bag" lunch. Just a suggestion. I wouldn't mind having a few barley pops though graemlins/beers.gif

Ya, we could just go to Castle and do the tour then stay there, or go somewhere in town? Never ate at the burger stand there, but it can't be that bad?

Beer, we could do a pizza joint or go somewhere and have a few.

Up to you guys, I think taking a few Chevelles out for the day doing the caravan together is going to be the fun part....

That leaves only about 10-12 days for the raspberry wheat to ferment and settle, and IMHO not long enough. 2 weeks is about the bare minimum.

I'm up for whatever the group wants to do. Checking with my wife now to see if we have anything already scheduled during that time ;)

Just givin' you a hard time Kinzli smile.gif . Your beer is so popular now, you'll never be able to keep up! Let me know when that Raspberry Wheat is ready, I'll swing over and drink a little and BS for a day.

Thanks Dirt, I'm gonna need help making sure this next batch of Raz beer is palatable by TC folk ;)

Shortly after the Raz, an American Pale Ale will likely be next, very shortly after, like the same weekend graemlins/beers.gif

"Mini Meet" :D

13/14 works for me.. my B-day is the 12th so it will be a happy b-day to myself run. im open to just about anything, we could still get some beer and b-b-q at Craigs or go somewhere liek burgers or pizza, im not picky as long as its eating and drinking..lol. the most fun will be caravaning the beassts!

Im screwed. Just found out I will be in San Diego on business from Nov 15 - 19. Job is shipping me out to run some t1 lines with engineers, install wireless networks, VPN and take down 4 servers in SoCal. :(

sounds like you do what my mother in law does for ebay, shes always running top different places and on the phone with her "people" doing communication stuff

Actually the 13th or 14th are good for me I guess its good to write your own schedules! graemlins/thumbsup.gif

So, the weekend of the 13th/14th is good for everyone?

Let's say Sunday the 14th at 10/11AM?

For the nothern guys we could meet up off the freeway at like Main st in Turlock then go in from there, or meet at my place and take the back roads (Santa Fe ave). Either way it will take the same amount of time. Main st has a Carl's Jr if anybody is hungry before we hit the rd.

For the southern guys meet at the museum? This is off of Buhach rd in Atwater, go east to Santa Fe ave and follow the signs into the parking lot. I believe it is south of Buhach, so left it will be on santa Fe.

Big place, very hard to miss especially with an SR-71 out front ;)

Hey Craig, this is Jeff. I talked with Chris and Sunday 11-14 just might work out. We could come up on Sat. and spend the night with #1 Daughter in Escalon. She and her husband just moved into a new home and she's dying to show it to us. Then it would be a short drive back on Sunday to your place or Castle. I'll be following this post.

If you and Chris could make it , that would be awesome since we all missed you 2 at the last swap meet. And is Chris is bringing his car? I would like to see it, and take a ride if he is :cool:

Don't know where we are meeting back yet, Jay was over last night and he wanted to come back to the house afterwards, but it is another 20 min back here so don't know if everyone is up for that. My home is allways open for anything y'all want to do so don't hesitate to suggest anything back here.

Sunday works just great for me. I'm all for meeting at Craig's place and driving over from there.

Troy

Sunday's good for me too.

I'll probably meet you guys at the museum.

Any plan yet for after?

I'm in for Sunday. I'll meet you guys at the muesum as I have to pick my Chevelle up in Fresno that morning.

Sucks you won't be able to make it Beaux. We'll have a beer for you.

I wish I could go. At least I'll be working on F-15s those days.....

Hey Jeff, we'll miss ya...but do you ever get to fly those suckers? smile.gif

Well, consensus is for Sunday so far.

Lets kind of set a time to be there then, I was thinking about 11AM at the museum, so anybody coming over here to my place should be here by 10:30 AM at the latest. It will take about 30 min from Santa Fe ave, but the freeway is an option if we ant to go that route. We will decide Sunday morning.

Jeff, you could just stay on the 152 and get to the 99, go north from there to Atwater. If you are taking the same route as you did lat time, what time would you be driving throuhg this area? I was thinking we could hitch up somewhere and drive in from there.

Troy, will the Chevelle be making this trek this time? We all would like to see it I am sure....

Rick/Anthony, you still plan on attending? We have confirmed Jeff and Chris so having both of you guys as well would be bossa nova man :cool:

Afterwards we could do whatever everyone wants to do. If y'all want to come back here, great, but we will have to figure out what to eat...OR we could find a sonic burger and bring in all of the cars for a little cruise and see if we can attract some local attention....

My cousin John might be showing up with me. Provided he doesn't have to leave too early to climb into his big rig for the week.

I'll show up with my truck. I have to travel next week and don't want to leave the Chevelle sitting in Long-Term parking at the airport for five days. What a PITA trying to get this car back up here :rolleyes:

I'm planning to head on up to Jody's on Saturday so we can finish the high boost parts of the tuning... that way it can be in "full fun mode" for Sunday :D

Troy

as far as afterwards goese, im all for whatever, cruising to an in-n-out will be ok as well as going back to craigs and b-b quing or ordering pizza or something. theres alot of rice to scare in merced near in and out, i always find a few "uncle ben" steamers that have the nerve to rev. i go with the flow so ill let others decide what the plan is

Well I will probably be there in the 66 if it doesn't rain. The 65 is staying home as Anthony has to work and the seats have been sold and the racing buckets and cage are being installed. He just ordered Hoosher 29 inch x 11.5 Slicks and he is getting ready for the December TnT at Sac.
See you guys there! If anyone is coming from the south like Fresno e-mail me and maybe we can hook up and cruise together. Jeff,let me know when you will be coming out 152 as I live only about 10 minutes from there. graemlins/beers.gif

I'm not sure what time I'll be coming through 152/99, I'm guessing around 9:30 or so? Hell, I dunno.

Not sure what I'll be bringing, either. Probably won't bring the Chevelle since it's gonna probably rain part of the way, but might bring the Cobra...and sadly I don't have any beer to bring :(

What! no beer, well heck I'm not going then ;)

Unfortunately I wont be able to make it guys. Have to deal with a kids B-day party this weekend graemlins/angry.gif Dang kids ruining my fun smile.gif

What are you trying to say, Craig? :D

I think Craig is trying to say you're full of s**t and need to bring your Chevelle :D Damn I wanted to see the blown rat too :(

I won't have internet access from now until next Monday, so I'll just plan on being at Castle Air Museum between 10 and 11am. I'm going on a little vacation with the woman. If you guys cancel the meet for some reason, can someone call me at 408-605-8282? Thanks! I'll see you guys there.

Kinzli, lets talk Sunday about when you'll have the next batch of beer brewed so I can come over and drink it :D

So...who is meeting at my place then? I want to make sure we don't leave anybody behind, we could meet here by 10 then off we go. Unles we wnt to keep Al waiting till noon or something, then pull in when he is ready to leave? Sounds like a good prank to me, unless someone else has another suggestion..... :D

I'll be meeting at your place Craig.

Troy

Right on Troy, I will be here waiting for y'all. I also think that Jay is going to be here as well, with his ElCamino, the banana terror tongue.gif

haha graemlins/angry.gif maybe itll be wearing a fresh coat of black primer by then.. thats the plan for saturday anyway, well see if the weather goes along with the plan. my birthday is tommarow so i should have my ssm lift bars and edelbrock uppers ( or the $$ for them anyway) if so i might do that on saturday instead.

Craig, I'll be coming over 152 to 99 - I can meet you guys somewhere, or meet at Castle.

I'll be driving the monster Excursion.

Originally posted by bigblockelky:
haha graemlins/angry.gif :D Just giving you a hard time Jay....and if you have those uppers and SSM bars, do you need help installing them? We will have a few Chevelle guys here afterwards so things can't go wrong :eek:

Jeff, we will see you then Sunday AM by 11 or so in the USS Kinzli smile.gif I will plan on arriving by 10:30 or so with the rest of the crew and wait out in the parking lot for the rest of the guys to arrive.

Going to be a nice Sunday, good buds and vintage aircraft. Oh, and some fast company :cool:

Sunday sounds good to me. graemlins/thumbsup.gif Where are you guys meeting up at in Turlock, and i'll do my best to be there. :cool:
David

Hey David, we are meeting at my house at 10AM. Drop over around then, we will cruise in from there, probably down Santa Fe ave to Atwater.

So, everyone still going tomorrow?

I will be, going to get up early and get the car prepped and gassed up for the short trip...

Craig,

If the weather is like today I will be there in the 66. graemlins/thumbsup.gif

Well, the weather I have seen shows 67* and no clouds.

Looks to be a great day.....

Alright boys pops and I are at the sister's house in Escalon with the Chevelle. We will be heading to Craig's for the trip to Atwater. Everyone have a safe trip and see ya'll in the morn!

I'm just south of Escalon in Modesto. smile.gif Would you want to meet up, and head over to Craig's house together? smile.gif If you do, i'm going to get gas at AMPM at the corner of McHenry ave & Rumble rd about 20minutes till 10am before hitting the freeway. smile.gif
Craig, i'll be there around 10am, i'm also bringing my digital camera to take some pics of some sweet rides. :cool:
David

Guess what guys... it's 9:30pm and my car is currently up on jackstands in the garage. :eek:


Scared you, huh? LOL.
Nothing major, I was just in the middle of an oil change and the darn nylon drain plug gasket on my brand new Moroso pan split in 3 parts! I have to run and get a replacement in the morning before heading over, hopefully a metal/rubber one. This is the second time I've had a nylon drain plug gasket split on me! At least it didn't let go while I was driving...

I'll be at Casa de Craig right around 10. Listen for the car with the squealing alternator bearing. ;)

Troy

well guys had a BLAST today, was definitly fun, nice to meet you guys.. damn all of you with you big cams and your cars with no wheel hop.. hehe. hopefully by the track ill have both problems fixed, someone please buy my s10blazer so i can fund the go fast goodies smile.gif lookign forward to the track and the oktoberfest in january

Hey guys, good to see you again. Chris and I had a great time. Being able to spend the night with #1 Daughter made the drive quite tolerable. The Chevelle didn't miss a beat but with that torque converter we didn't pass many gas stations either. So until January, ya'all take care and we'll see you then. Jeff

Yes, as always had an awesome time with everyone.

Hope all made it home OK, and in time to go to work the next morning without a sleep hangover.....

Troy, your car is pimp man, quite a fine machine I must say. Thanks for the ride too, your car under 5 lbs of boost will send mine packing, dammit.

Chris, Jeff, Jeff K, Al, David, Jay, Rick, and Troy again, had a great time as usual. Beaux, we all missed y'all, till next time bud.

See all of you next month for the racing day (Jeff K, make it happen :D )

Yep, fun time. I think we need to have another and/or more of these "cruise" type get togethers. Just need to figure out where to go! graemlins/thumbsup.gif

Got some work to do on my car before Sacramento... namely re-do my PCV system with an oil seperator system, and I also need to get my custom serpentine pulleys for the alternator and A/C fabbed so I can junk the V-belt. I don't want to throw any more belts at 7000rpm like I did a few times last year... so far I've been lucky and only damaged a hood liner. It really scares the crap out of you... whaaaaaaAAAAAAA- KABOOM! :eek:

Troy

real quick before I goto bed: Had a great time checking out the airplanes and shootin' the breeze at Craig's. Good seeing the ol' boys again and meeting the new guys. It was nice to finally drive the Chevelle to one of these get-together's again!

I echo Troy about doing more cruisin' get-togethers. And Troy, your car is Schweet! You've just set the bar way TOO damn high now ;)

Hopefully be able to see you guys at Sacto.

Thanks again for inviting me Craig. smile.gif graemlins/beers.gif

I am thinking the same thing. Depending on how far (gas=$$) then I am up to most cruises that we can think of. Hearing Jeff and Chris spent 60 bones just to drive from Pixly to Escalon scared the beejeesus out of me tongue.gif Although I have the OD baby.

The Dec races, then the Jan swap meet, but in between and following is up in the air for me depending on work and other obligations I have.

David, thanks so much for putting that pictorial together, very nice pics of the planes. Good eye for photography I must say. Maybe you could be our club paparazzi from now on :cool:

I, too, would be stoked on some cruisefests. Always looking for some good cruises - the cruising sux here in Santa Cruz! With a little notice I could make most Saturday evening cruises. That sounds like fun.

And the beer will be brewing for the Dec. and January events smile.gif

ill join in for just about anything, hell ide even drive to the bay area for aget together.. might take a couple hours but ill be there. great pics david, i second the club paparazzi nomination.. youve been dubbed..lol. its VERY wiered to see a pic of me with someone taller than me, thanks for putting things in perspective craig :D , if you do much cruizing in Santa cruz you get scolded by tree huggin, peta loving, bunny humping, tie dye wearing, long hair having, patchuli oil smelling, earth friendly enviro freaks, i got plenty to say to those wack jobs.. maybe we should go on an anti ozone cruze in down town santa cruz armed with paintball guns..hehe.. i want everyone to know i harbor no animosity twords these people though.. damnit i cant even type that with a straight face, lol.

Just a thought.....Jeff makes our get togethers, don't you think we could cruise his way when the weather gets nice next year? graemlins/thumbsup.gif

im all for it, its a pretty sweet drive, not like going to the bay, geared 3 speed cars tend to hate the drive to those parts but heading down 156 and 1 arent too bad since the pace is usually a bit slower
