2012 Massive Midwest Meet - May19th - Coldwater, MI

[Envoy4Life]

13 more days peeps!

 

[big ed]

for now, I'm going to say my coming is a maybe......my job forced me into engineer training which is half the pay rate (which really sucks) but its also frowned upon when a fireman (engineer in training) takes off work while training. I'm thinking if I and Ms SilverBullet can make it, it will most likely be for only 1 day or come that morning and leave that night. I know for sure carlisle is a no go this year, so this maybe one of the very few meets or maybe the only meet, I can make it to this year. so I will do what I can to make it...

 

[Wishbone]

i have a room at the Hampton i will split with someone if they want??? only 30.00 a nite if we split it...let me know

I got a campsite about 4 miles north at Waffle Farm Campground on Craig Lake. We're making a weekend of it...

Here's my room for the weekend

[Boricua SS]

Congrats! That's great!!

No SS for me this time. I'll be bringin' the 'Hoe. Not that I'm complaining. After 4 1/2 years of good meets in the SS, it's nice to bring something else for a change. A few minor issues need cleared up with the SS and it'll be ready for a Columbus meet. (and Pinellas Park)

my thoughts exactly Sam.. with how cold and rainy it was for the first time seein the 'Hoe, it would be nice to check it out in full, as im really not familiar with the full size of the 'Hoe's... plus i know you will probably have some more goodies by the meet

stuff happens bro... work is work, and money pays bills, not meets... theres always a next time.. i myself am only attending one day this year compared to last year at indy, i could afford to stay the 2 days... hope to see you there

 

[HARDTRAILZ]

Anyone got stuff they are wanting to trade or sell that we should start another thread?

edit - thread started...http://gmtnation.com/f48/midwest-meet-swap-sale-work-help-install-thread-3361/

I got a lift and wheel spacers I am about to put up for sale, but could save someone shipping.

 

[ItsOnVoy]

If one of the mods wants to move some of this discussion here, it may help declutter this thread so food and lodging and those details dont get lost.

Name is Mike, and looking forward to meeting you guys!

This sucks man, but school is pretty important. You should see about just coming by for a little bit on Saturday.

You know you will be there in spirit brother! I will play "Downunder" for you, and will also bring the Apple Pie!!!

I took Tracey's (PITA) name off the list as well. She is working full time again, unfortunately her normal shift is Sat & Sun from 7am-11pm each day. IT works out well to have the whole week with the kids, but will make it difficult for her to attend the meets with me.

Thank you mate! I thought 12 hour shifts were bad!

 

[Spalding1028]

ya'll suck! I JUST set up our camping reservations down in Loudonville, Ohio for that weekend! If it was later, I would've gotten everything I need for my lift kit and woulda brought it up there to get some professional help with it

 

[Regulator]

Yea, it makes for a long day. However, she is working in a group home for special needs adults. The home that she works in has three ladies and all three are high functioning. For the most part she just has to make sure they take their meds and be around to help out if they need anything. She is essentially a well paid babysitter.

Strangely, she says it is just like being at home only she is getting paid for it.

 

[Wishbone]

Just adding my contributions. This should be a great time!

Trust me, I would in an instant but I can almost never get out of work early on a friday and have the following monday off too. Otherwise I'd be rescheduling the camping trip.

Here's a good site for info for CCL holders. MI says we can't legally carry in the school parking lot if your not dropping off or picking up your kid. Even then the gun must stay in the car.
