As noted elsewhere on the forum, our brother Graeme Jacko and Senior Management will be visiting the Bay Area. We're planning on getting together Thursday evening, Sept. 25th. I have a rehearsal studio at home where we can make noise. Anyone want to come by?

Bill, tgo

I'll be there but I'm planning on coming TUESDAY 25th :-)

What time do you want us Bill?

Graeme

Oops! Sorry about that, TUESDAY it is! I was thinking around 7:30 p.m. Would give everyone a chance to grab dinner first and then we could go until around 10:00 or so. Or, if people don't want to eat first, we can always send out for a pizza.

Bill, tgo

7:30 it is then. We'll aim to eat before we get there - don't want to be any more of an imposition and we both prefer to eat early anyway.

Graeme & Bill ,
I was looking forward to this , however, it appears that my schedule will not allow me to participate. My sincere apologies.

Hi Bill, may I attend?

Harry:

I've been wondering when you would chime in. Of course you're welcome. And, as you know, my studio is big enough to squeeze in your double neck in its case! This will be the second visit I'll be hosting of a forum member from Great Britain - Jazzyvee crashed here for the Gathering last spring.

And anyone else who wants to come by, meet Graeme in person, hang out, make some noise, and maybe even enjoy a brew or two, is welcome. Let me know and I'll send along directions.

Wolf: We'll miss you. I hope the universe rearranges itself in such a way that you'll be able to make it.

Bill, tgo

Bill .Thanks for the kind words. Unfortunately I will have a 4AM start for my day and I have been fighting off a bad cold. I will miss you all as well.

Not long now. We're really looking forward to it.

Graeme

Me too. Heard a good one today:

Q - How do you know when a Btitish car needs oil?

A - When it stops leaking oil.

Bill, tgo

Hmmmm , when I first heard that joke it was about British motorbikes.

Hope you all have a great meet up.

I once read a thing about the ingenious anti-theft system on Triumph motorcycles, wherein the engineers designed it to keep a constant coat of slippery oil on exactly the places one would need to grab the frame to lift it into a truck.
I will say that of all the problems my beloved Spitfire gave me, oil leaking was never one of them (well, OK, there was the time a set screw came out of a hole in the rocker assembly that was only there to hold the set screw, all the oil pumped out, and it rode home from Indianapolis on a trailer for a rebuild - but that wasn't really a leak, was it?).
