They are now predicting heavy rains and chance of flooding for Fri/Sat.

Due to inclement weather and the prediction of very little wind, the CHEEZEBALL will be postponed...

Stay tuned for new dates.....!!!!!

Need some opinions folks...

Option a) a one day event on Sunday
B) take a chance on the rain and show up tommorow anyway
C) see what the availabilty is for nxt weekend Oct.1/2

Tough decision, but I think you made the right call.

Please keep us informed of any news on the rescheduled rally.

I will not skip out on my sister-in-law wedding to fly kites. I will not skip out on my sister-in-law wedding to fly kites. I will not skip out on my sister-in-law wedding to fly kites.

Think if I say it enough I can stop thinking about missing a wedding in NYC.

Hey, Dave, how long have you known about the kite festival/Harvest of the Arts, being the 1st of Oct.? I just found out about it yesterday! Are lots of the Connectikiters coming? I'm pretty sure the NYKE gang is gonna be there, too! Is the Kidd coming too? 3 buggies on the horse track should really spark some interest! Can't wait!

Sorry about the weather Cheezy, but now when you reschedule, maybe I can make it!

Bob I have known for a few months. Thom contacted us about rooms in the inn. As for The Kidd, no he is not attending this year becouse we are staying till tuesday and he is already missing three days of school for WBB next month.
Cheesy did you get ahold of snowspider?

cheezycheese - 24-9-2011 at 06:42 AM

I left him a voice mail Dave. No response... I hope he did not make the drive...:no:

Jaymz - 24-9-2011 at 11:02 AM

Try for next weekend? Oct. 1/2?

cheezycheese - 25-9-2011 at 11:31 AM

Well I fought with the idea of postponing this all day on Fri... Apparently it was the right decision. Crash went out to FBF on Saturday and while there was no rain there was no wind either... :dunno:

shehatesmyhobbies - 25-9-2011 at 02:15 PM

You made the right call! No winds to speak of here yesterday! It was a blistering 1mph at the peak!

rocfighter - 25-9-2011 at 05:05 PM

I brought some kite with me today as we were heading to the shore. But no wind at all. What a crappy weekend to have off from work!

So thats what happened. The girl at DD was pouring me coffee as you posted the message! When Morgans school called to see why he was out I told them "He's on a little adventure with me" I had a nice route picked out but just before I95S I decided to follow tomtom, BAD MOVE! It took us over some draw bridge staight into new construction and I had to shift to "defensive manouvers" . Being a dark cloudy rainy day I just barely had a grasp of my compass directions (had'nt set up the gps with the compass icon). Somehow I keep us headed east and I'm not sure which came first the ? tunnel or the Brooklin bridge but tomtom is now back on track taking us to Flatbush ave in the heart of downtown. Being a country bumpkin and having been to NY 3 times in my life a few choice words and slight feeling of panic filled the van , oh and the gas was less than a 1/4 tank. Morgan got a quick on the fly lesson in gps navigation and I adjusted to the bump and grind of driving in NY.
We did make it to FB and yea the wind sucked , did some fishing with the boys from Brooklyn "you dumb f*** that aint no fish you got a rock" "what the f*** do you know maybe its a rockfish", checked out the warbird hanger , worked with the park service cleaning up a stretch of beach , watched more than a few 747's and big Airbus's , survived the mosquitos in the camping area, dodged the park police notified of our "unauthorized" camping location. I had fun Morgan sais "well its not Wildwood." See you in a couple of weeks!

Man if you and I ever travel together I bet we would get commited by the end. You sound just like me yelling at the damned GPS for sending me the wrong way!! Good thing for the kids we have. Cameron just takes it away from me resets it and starts it over again. In the mean time I'm still grumbling and cursing at it and I know it does it on purpose. Damn electronic crap!!:lol:

Crash - 28-9-2011 at 03:43 PM

all I'm gonna say is this weekend is looking good ! I'll be there :yes:

cheezycheese - 30-9-2011 at 09:34 PM

A few of us are gonna meet on Sunday. While it's not the official CHEEZEBALL we will have fun nontheless... :bigok:
