I guess I should start a new thread about the 24th, so nobody misses it.
That should be enough notice for everyone.

Meet at my house. Do any maintenance jobs. Then ride to Big Sur or Carmel Valley.
Around 10:00 am sounds reasonable

Woot! Thanks for starting the new thread, Bob! 

Sorry about the postponement...but hopefully, it'll give the other folks time to get their schedules sorted out. That's definitely plenty of warning!   

Also, I may show up the evening before to do some wrenching if you'll be around. Don't want to hold up the other folks for the fun part - RIDING!    If I do come down on Saturday, I'll just buy the necessary stuff in Salinas (or from you  ) so I don't have to trek down with too much. Maybe we could do some work on the bike and I treat you to a nice bbq dinner at Smalley's? 

Any excuse to ride to Monterey and watch the sun rise over the ocean and walk on the beach....  Me me!!  (I need to not write messages when I'm that tired...)

Argh, parents visiting me that weekend.  They're already anti-bike enough without me ditching them for a ride with you guys 

How about you just invite them to join you on the ride! 

Hope you have a great visit with the units.

I have marked it on my calendar (oh 'scuse me, my wife's and mine).  I wil be there this time.  Woohoo! 

w00t! I'm *IN*!!!!!!!!!!!! 

How ya' doin', Bob?? (I haven't read all threads, so if you've given us a health update elsewhere, just  ignore me here    )

Edit: Hobbling but doing better and ready to ride on the 24th! Outstanding, Bob! I can't wait!  I will be more innocent than a nun the night before this ride. 

If anyone wants to come down Saturday evening, that's not a problem.
I don't have a social life so I'll be home ready to wrench
Dinner at Smalleys sounds good
I'll probably be working, but I can arrange to make it a short day.
So mid afternoon I can be home.

My life may have just been put in the blender and turned on high..  Planning to make it..  Consider me a maybe..  When it rains, I often forget my umbrella..

Oh no! Is it that damn driveway?!  Or that hill?  Did it get your other ankle?

I hope the blender gets shut off and your life is poured out as a, uh, refreshing and delicious smoothie...?

I'll probably show up in the late afternoon time range if that's cool. So work until whenever you need to, Bob.

I make it a point to not ride with an umbrella.

Does this mean you won't be my umbrella girl on Tuesday? 

Oh, shucks, I missed it...I would have loved to be your umbrella girl!  Mmm-hmm!

My Grandmother is in the hospital on moriphine; she is 89, her body is shutting down and she is in pain.  If I fly out tomorrow, to Michigan, I may not be back for the ride, but I wanted you all to know where I would be.  I hope you all have a(nother) good ride.

Oh, sorry to hear.    I'll be sending some positive thoughts your way. 

I may end up having to skip this ride after all. 

Mostly, I'm just really, really, really tired. I know it doesn't sound like a "good excuse" but it's the only one I got. This tired rider does not make for a good rider. I'll see if I'm feeling any better by the week's end.      If not, I'm going to spend the weekend in bed paying back some sleep debt so I don't get sick.

Sorry to hear about your grandmother
My moms going to be 90 in Nov., so I think about things happening alot. It's never easy.

As for being tired
It's tuesday night. go to bed
I've been holding off on sending out the 05 advancer, so I can try it on your bike this weekend.
I'm 99% healthy now, So no wimping out now
