Hey Neighbor!
I believe that may have been Tim B that canceled. I think he was there last year. I'm on 34. Kittie corner to you.

Looking forward to meeting you in person, and seeing that sharp yellow and black boat.

Funny Lewy!! I was thinking the exact thing.
Kristof, Have a great time I know you will.
I too won't be making the trip this year as I'll be making the drive to middle GA late friday afternoon to get my 2 daughters for the week. Sorry to be missing out on the event and warm weather this time. Maybe next year.
LOTS OF PICTURES GUY'S!

I'd like to Chris but I won't have room for him in the truck, I'm bringing the whole family this year... I guess I could stash him away in the boat. Kinda like a four footer coming over the boarder.  I'll give him a call and offer him a place to sleep at my campsite anyway. Who knows, maybe he'll show up at the last moment like last year.

I had asked the same question earlier only to find out that Randy's bringing his family this year. He doesn't want Eric around the kids. They'd be mentally demented for the rest of their lives!!

Pete, I'm more worried about Quinner around my wife!
I called Eric and offered him a place to stay again this year, even though the guy stole my favorite shirt from me last year. I think Quinner has it right, he seems to be a sissy. Eric said "It's just too long of a drive... I'm busy... blah blah blah..."
Hopefully his vag. will stop bleeding and he will get his crap together and make the trip!!! We are already missing a lot of key members this year. Come on Eric, quit making excuses and get your butt out to GL!

Kristof; I drive that way almost every day. Toll charges will be $2.30 USD one way, and it will be two stops. The first one will be $0.80 and the second one will be $1.50. Stay in the right lanes to pay with cash.
The best route is to take I-294 West (North) it is very well marked leaving O'Hare, follow the signs to Wisconsin. I-294 will merge into I-94, then stay on I-94 all the way to Milwaukee. If you need to purchase anything, I would wait til you get to Wisconsin the sales tax is less and then you don't have to worry about extra tolls getting on and off the interstate.
Once you get to Milwaukee, watch for the I-894 West exit, you want to take that. It will be just past the airport in the middle of a bunch of construction. Stay in the left hand lanes as you get close to the airport and you will be fine. Once on I-894, follow that and it will run into US-41/45, basically you will stay straight, as other traffic exits to back to I-94. Then just stay on US-41 (Slight edit, you want to stay on US-41) all the way to Fond-du-Lac, WI where you will exit on WI-23 west bound (also labeled Johnson St). Here at the end of the exit at the traffic light you will take a left hand turn. Follow WI-23 all the way to Green Lake, WI. You can turn left at County Road A or follow the Business Route 23 right into town.
Have a safe trip, its an easy ride. Feel free to call me +1 262 909 2888 if you get lost, or any others I am sure would be happy to help. Looking forward to meeting you! |
Kristof,
Make sure you have a handful of change and you will be good to go, like Steve said, about $2.30 usd.

Kristof,
I can't give you the exact figure since I have the automatic debit transponder "I-pass" in the car but you'll be going through 2 tolls (stay to the right for the "manual" lanes) and I'd say it's going to be no more than $3.00 USC. BTW, they don't take you're "funny" money ether!!
Can't wait for the meet. It will be a pleasure!!

That's right Kristof. last year, Mr. "Buy American" drove a KIA or a Hyundia out to the reunion.  And he is always ragging on me about my Tundra with the "yuppy cam" ... Come on Eric. Jump in that rice burner and get your butt out to GL!!!

Eric,
Look at it this way, you might get another free t-shirt again..
So I think you better go and take the offer.
By the way are you this wearing the shirt, that you could return.
It sure was fun meeting you and talking with you last year.
But, I don't remember much......hehe
As always guys get off the fence and join the fun !!

Whatever, It was some sort of girl car... Just jump in whatever female specific brand car you are driving these days and get your butt to GL. You, can follow me up there, bring the wife and kids, they'll have a good time. Come on Eric, you know you want to go! Tell your customers the parts are on "back order"!

Hey, I just found out I can get off work Sat the 17th. But today is one day past the reg. deadline.... If I registered today would my brother and I miss out on the food Sat night? I'd like to hit the tech sessions Fri night and plan on being around Sat. either way. Don't know if I can bring over the '75 Ski Tique Sat. that I just got for the camp where I help out. Don't know how accurate the speedo is as I just picked it up last Sat, but they claim to have seen 52. Too bad we don't have time to reprop, it seems to have plenty of hp to pull a higher top speed.
