Tues, July 12th dinner plans?

[GLC1968]

Boston, southern NH TE gals - anyone available for dinner next Tuesday evening? I'll be in the Chelmsford area for work and it looks like our Tuesday evening schedule just opened up. I'm not 100% sure yet (I should know later today), but I thought I'd throw this out there as soon as possible.

Any takers? :)

[SheFly]

Potentially, yes! That's typically an evening that we take our junior team out for a training ride, but I might be able to get out of it for this one week. Chelmsford is literally 2 towns over!

Will you have a bike while you are here? How long are you staying? Would LOVE to meet you while you are so close by!

[mudmucker]

Another potential yes, depending on schedule. I'll keep an eye on this thread.

[GLC1968]

Thanks guys!

I'm still kind of up in the air. We are supposesd to be having dinner with the director of our design center, but he hasn't confirmed yet. I suspect I'll hear back during the day tomorrow.

Please don't change any plans for me in case this doesn't work out! I'll post an update as soon as I know more. If this doesn't work out, I'll definitely be back at some point!

[SheFly]

Keep us posted. If you are free another evening, let me know! Would love, love, love to meet you in person!

I definitely am available. Chelmsford is one town away and I drive through there on my way home. If you have a dinner scheduled, maybe meet for coffee or something at a different time?

[GLC1968]

Ok, here's the latest deal. I actually arrive at like 1 pm in Manchester and I don't have any meetings until that planned dinner at 6:30. My boss is in meetings up until 6:30, so I'm pretty free and can probably have use of the car (we are staying on the Chelmsford/Lowell border).

I know you guys have jobs, but if we could meet earlier, I would be available. I totally understand if that won't work for any of you, so don't feel bad at all.

[Crankin]

OK, I have a client in the morning and then plan to do paper work all day, or until I feel like it...
I drive right by where you are going to be, on the way home. There is a restaurant on 110 called Moonstones. It is in Chelmsford, right near the entrance to 495. I can meet you there at 4:00, for a drink and a snack? The bar is nice there...
Let me know. And of course, anyone else can join. PM me with your phone # if this sounds OK.

[mudmucker]

I'm on vacation and will be in the area.

Of course everyone is welcome!

I also suggest we have a couple of cell numbers out to each other. Having one person hold all the numbers does not always work. Some people may not get the messages.

[GLC1968]

OK, 4 pm is perfect for me! I'll send out a PM with my number shortly. Hopefully shefly can make it too. :)

[SheFly]

I think I might be able to make this work. I need to be back in Bedford kitted and ready to ride at 5:30... Let me see what I can do. Anyone for 3:30? :)

SheFly

[mudmucker]

As I say...vacation:)...3:30 is fine by me, or even earlier...

[GLC1968]

I'll shoot for 3:30. My boss is all about me kicking off and doing this, so I don't see why not. :-)

[SheFly]

Cool! I'll try to be there for 3:30 as well, but will only be able to stay for one drink before heading out. Worth it though! If something changes during the day, I'll let you all know.

SheFly

[Veronica]

How cool! Too bad you can't go out for lobster rolls.

Pictures of the group please. :D

Veronica

[mudmucker]

Great! See you all there.

[Crankin]

Good thing I checked this again... I'll be there at 3:30.

[SheFly]

So awesome to meet GLC1968 and Mudmucker! Always good to get caught up with Crankin' as well. Wish I could have stayed a bit longer - might have been a better night.

We ended up with a Chris Horner episode with one of our juniors - he's off at hospital now getting checked out. I think this might be too stressful for me :eek:

SheFly

[GLC1968]

Wow, Shefly - that sucks! I hope he was ok!

It was awesome meeting you all. Another great group of TE women!

I'll definitely look forward to my next NE visit!

[Crankin]

Pictures???
Just got back from a ride with Hirakukibou and we also talked about getting together for dinner/lunch, whatever on a regular basis with a group. Let's make that happen.

[mudmucker]

It was great to meet everyone. I also met SheFly and Crankin for the first time too. Yes, let us know the next time you're in town GLC!

SheFly..oh my, not good.

Meeting on a regular basis would be fun.

Here's one of the pictures. They're all the same so I'm just putting up one.

Left to right; Crankin, SheFly, GLC1968, mudmucker

[GLC1968]

My pictures are pretty much identical so I'm glad you posted yours. I didn't bring my camera cable with me, so I can't get mine off the camera until I get home!

[SheFly]

And you can't even really tell from the photo that I am crouching :D.

But you can in my versions, so this is definitely a better one to post! ;)

[mudmucker]

Hey GLC, I said I'd post some pictures of the chicken coop I was building. Not sure where to put it. Maybe over in the gardening thread. I might post there when all is finished. In the meantime:

I like this design a lot, as it gives run under the henhouse part and I like the external nest box. Plus it'll look good. I have to look at it all the time so it better look good.

[SheFly]

Mudmucker - that's awesome!

BTW - there was a story in the Bethel Citizen today about the wind turbine parts for the Roxbury wind farm being routed through Bethel (it was in the opinions section here (http://www.bethelcitizen.com/letters/story/parkway-plant-removal)).
