Five Oh B Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 Grabber - I've poured plenty of WATER on my car washing it this week. I'm going to drink lots of WATER to stay hydrated on our trip. We're going to the Columbia River to see lots of WATER running between Oregon and Washington, then over to Multnomah Falls to see WATER falling from above. It's safe to say the theme of this year's Meet & Greet is WATER. I guess some rain WATER is very poetic, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ati Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 No one is going to melt from the rain & we may have to adjust for weather conditions. For example, We could add a wet T-Shirt contest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pjo Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 I'm ok with water, wet/rain or dry/sunny.....Never know...Oregon/Wash. is so fickle that we may still end up a with a beautiful day. No more waxing for me either...last Wax was Sunday and I agree...if I wash or wax it it will RAIN more.... SUN GOD WORSHIP started..... :angel: :angel: :angel: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grabber Posted May 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 OK I see that there are some die hards that a little water won't bother. I was thinking that many would not even show up if the weather is sketchy. I just watched the 5pm news. I will be watching it tonight and tomorrow. Ruf has a good idea about changing the plans up a bit. I guess I am just bummed out because the weatherman keeps making things sound worse. First he was talking about some possible showers, and now he is talking about some possible thunder and lightning storms. My idea of fun is not cruising my GT500 around a bunch of wet slick twistie roads up in the Columbia Gorge where it will surely be wet. We are getting the spin off from the tornado in Colorado. Tomorrow is my food purchase day and prep day for the party. I have the day off to do it. When I get up tomorrow I will be checking the weather before I go buy a boat load of barb-b-Q supplies to cook in the rain. So if it rains are you all coming, or just the 3 that posted ?

I'm trying to be optimistic here. Things change soo fast around here that in 24hrs there may be a whole new forecast. However if it is raining I won't be making it. Sorry for being a puss.

Five Oh B Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 Shirley & I will be there, rain or shine, unless you opt to cancel the whole event. My GT is a daily driver and it has seen tons of wet weather driving. The only change I'll be making if it rains is that I'll keep the all season tires on, and leave the drag radials at home. If you do cancel, Shirley & I are still going to Battleground tomorrow night, but we'd likely head into Portland Saturday for the day (Saturday Market or Lloyds Center for some shopping, if nothing else). While it would be cool to have a few dozen people at this year's event, Grabber, keep in mind that we had a great time last year with just 11 cars and about 20 people. Heck, only 7 cars went on the cruise toward Cougar. I'm sure you'll have at least that many, if not more, even if the rain keeps a few people away. But, you certainly need a good head count, so that you don't over-purchase the food and stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanging in there AND WAITING FOR pm'S TO BE RETURNED. My PM keeps giving me a wierd error so I"m posting instead.... We'll be there unless you cancel completely. We are very very flexible...mine is not a DD but it's been WET.... We liked RUF's idea of driving..I checked out The Dalles weather but it was also a chance of rain Sat so no real escape route. I'm baking cakes tmrw (irregardless)...my boys LOVE cake so we can always have our CAKE and EAT IT TOO!!!!!!!! Thanks Rob and Tana..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Five Oh B Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 I couldn't respond to your PM either - error messages. However, as I've said already, you can count on Shirley & I rain or shine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave c Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 If it does pour down rain sorry, we won't be going either. But, if it's scattered showers here and there, we will. 30% chance is probably only light rain anyway. We really are looking forward to going. This years weather sucks!!!! But it's your call as well. So keep us posted Rob. We'll look for the decision tomorrow. Thanks, Dave and Sherri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GT500Ron Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 Good news folks, there is a 70% chance of something other than rain. Kathy and I will be there in any case. We could pull our RV into the party area and pull the awning out. This will work out fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grabber Posted May 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 It's dry here this evening. I just got the field lawn mowed and bagged and edged. The turf is ready for the cars. :happy feet: I got 21 PM's. They were from 7 members. Lots of duplicates. Not sure what the problem was. Those 7 are coming. Anyways, I am keeping the faith that the weather will cooperate. I have not cancled the band. They are bringing some tents just in case they need them for sun or rain drop protection. We are going to have a good time no matter what. We will make this work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteelSteeds Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 The only thing that could keep me away is SNOW!!! Like others said: Liquid sunshine. We live in the PNW, it happens. Live with it or move south! I'll be there. You can mark me as RECONFIRMED. BryGuy, I hope you can make it, I'm really looking forward to seeing a red package Shelby in person.

Five Oh B Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 Yee haw, sounds like we're still on! Weather should be fairly decent, although we may get a light shower passing by (maybe). Otherwise, mostly sunny and a great day to get together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grabber Posted May 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 :happy feet: THE PARTY IS ON :happy feet: There is a slight chance of one stray shower. They have to put that in the forcast to cover their butt. Here is a link to the weather. If you click on the video of the Portland weather forcast...give it 5 seconds for the commercial to run first...then it tells you the weather here. Pay attention to the Portland part. It's pretty darn good news. http://www.accuweather.com/forecast.asp?pa...04&metric=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grabber Posted May 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 I have recieved one cancelation. Looks like this place is going to rock. The band is coming. I spoke to them Wed. and they said they would come....rain or shine and that they like to throw up a couple awnings to keep the sun off of them.
