Sunday Brunch

[Danr55]

THe Tucson guys are going to meet us at FLorence Junction at 10:45 then we are driving the route together.. Should be fun..

[azfordman]

Dan, just to clarify....You guys are meeting at point A on the map at 9:00, but are not going to be to point B until 10:45...???

[John-Tucson]

Hey Dan, I just checked the weather for Globe for tomorrow. Not bad , not great. They will have cloud cover all day, hi temp between 50 and 65 degrees with a 20% chance of measurable rain. It's going to be a cool ride all day. If we see rain near Superior perhaps we could leave Hiway 60 and head south to Kearney and Winkleman. Dress warm.

[dave from mesa]

Sorry to cold for us. Not even sure I can make the leave time. Hope youse guys have a good time.

[Danr55]

THe Northern guys are meeting at point A at 10:00. We are meeting the Tucson guys at point B at 10:45..

[Danr55]

YOu bet John. I like the way you're thinking.. If it's raining in the AM, cancel everything.. Rain in these cars is bad enough when it's warm..

[Danr55]

Scotty, You can't trust me when it comes to time. We will meet at Idaho Rd and US 60 at 10:00 and pick up the Tucson guys at 10:45 at Florence Junction.

[John-Tucson]

Dan, you are approaching the relibility of Mikiec. I'm going to have to wear a watch whenever I meet up with you, not to mention carrying a list of all of the letters of the alphabet.

[mikiec]

Which is it? 9 or 10 at Idaho. I sent out an email saying 9 based on previous posts. You guys are driving me crazy.

It was originally 9:00. In order to allow our friends from the south to stop on thier way north for coffee, we adjusted it to 10:00. I will be at the station between 9:15 and 9:30 in order to hook up with anyone who shows up for the 9:00 time. We will leave Idaho Rd. between 10:15 and 10:20 to meet the guys from Tucson at Florence Junction about 10:45. We will all proceed together from there. If anyone wrecks on the FWY, you're on your own. I'm not stopping!!! So don't wreck... Now, I hope everyone see's the crap that Mikie goes through everytime he schedules one of these shindigs. It can be a bear. See ya'll in the morning.

[Scotchman]

Too late of a start for me Dan, so I'll have to bag out. You guys have a great run.

[Danr55]

Too late for Scotty and too early for Mesa Dave. I just can't seem to get it right..

[dave from mesa]

Too early and to cold.

[mikiec]

Well..... Who went? Pics? I needed to veg today to get ready for my new job.

Mike

[Danr55]

Well, as it turns out, there was a death in a family, a couple of crashed cars, an exploded battery, and only one car that made the journey today. The day was warm and beautiful and the traffic was light. Lunch was delicious.. Too bad not anyone else could get away.

[mikiec]

OK, You have peaked my interest... The rest of the story please?

Mike

[Danr55]

I was talking with John at Florence Junction and he related that tales of Woe to me about all of the things that stopped the guys from Tucson who had agreed to show up. Among the stories was a brother who passed the day before, a Cobra driven into the gravel and lost. Another driven over a concrete stump in a parking lot and Mark, "AZFordman" stopped in Florence for coffee, noticed a strange smell and opened the trunk to find the caps blown off of his battery. Later, I found out that his battery exploded before he got all the way to his home. So it was just a single Red Cobra that made the journey into Globe. Had a great lunch with Adrianna's sister and her husband, then drove home. It turned out to be a beautiful day. Didn't even need coats coming home.

[mikiec]

All I can say is OUCH.

Mike

[azfordman]

I did try to make it....and I was really looking forward to this drive! The weather was beautiful, had to take of my jacket driving home, it was that nice. At least my car got me back home, guess that's what's important. Looks like I may have to replace the alternator and a month old battery all because of a $15 voltage regulator!
