Beech Boogie NOW September 19th -21st - 2008/09/07 13:27Due to the forecast for this weekend, the 2nd Annual Beech boogie has been moved to September 19th-21st. I'll post more about GOONs, etc. as I learn more.
******
The Beech boogie is almost here, and we're working hard to finalize plans. In addition to our favorite airplane flying all weekend, we're doing a luau on Saturday night complete with a deep-fried turkey and fruity drinks. The GOONs will be out on Saturday with Calvin, and Paul's promised to do some organizing.
Since it's Neil's birthday, we're having a friendly Texas Hold-em Tournament Saturday night. The game will start at 9pm, with a beginner's lesson at 8:30pm.
I'm not sure what to do about this weekend since the forecast looks pretty bleak:
Friday -- Showers and thunderstorms likely. Chance of rain 70 percent. Saturday -- Showers and thunderstorms likely. Chance of rain 60 percent. Sunday -- Cloudy with chance of showers. Chance of rain 50 percent.
Should we delay the boogie for a week (rain delay), or should we go ahead and have as much fun as possible?
Thanks so much for your imput! Jo

Re:Weather -- Need a rain-date? - 2008/09/10 21:35I'm good with either weekend. Because of the forecast, I think the following weekend would be better. Sounds like this weekend is going to be a washout. Talk to everyone soon.

Re:Weather -- Need a rain-date? - 2008/09/10 22:15Well I work every other weekend, but you can't fly if it's raining. I am glad I am not a DZO. Anyway, whatever you decide just post it, I will be up there no matter what, looks like I will get there SAT. With that forecast it may be better to back it up a week

Re:Weather -- Need a rain-date? - 2008/09/11 05:25Well, I vote for next weekend. It might partly be selfishness on my part though! I'm trying my best to get home before the weekend, but it looks like I might not make it home till Saturday or Sunday. I miss you all a bunch! Nonetheless, this has been quite the adventure.
For those of you who don't know, I'm on my way to Amsterdam to deliver a factory-new Cessna to a customer here. I was asked last Thursday to deliver the airplane and my adventurous side just couldn't say no. By Friday afternoon, I was halfway across Canada. After a hop (okay a very long hop) to Greenland, Iceland, and then Norway, I am now in Berlin. The airplane is being de-tanked today (it had been fitted with a ferry tank to give it a 20-hour range) and I am heading to Amsterdam tomorrow. I'll write up a full report, with pictures when I get home.
I hope all is well with everyone back home!
See you soon! Paul

Re:Weather -- Need a rain-date? - 2008/09/11 09:48I vote for the boogie to be moved back a weekend. I will be out both weekends so it really does not matter to me but I see the best shot for a kick ass boogie would be the following weekend.

Re:Weather -- Need a rain-date? - 2008/09/11 10:23Let me know how I can help this weekend or next. My plan is to be out this weekend and next as well. I just can't stay away from you guys!! I love hanging out with my dear friend and thankful for all the new friends I have met!!
Re:Weather -- Need a rain-date? - 2008/09/11 16:09Well it looks as though another hurricane is going to wash everything away for the weekend. It also gives another week to make this boogie even better. Either way this or next I will be there. Till then, Peace Out Tj
By the way, Paul have fun in Amsterdamn next time you know your flying there ill take a free ride!

Re:Beech Boogie NOW September 19th -21st - 2008/09/12 14:05Joanna, did you know that the BEECH BOOGIE is the same weekend as the IH BOOOGIE at Mt. Vernon. Not sure if you knew or not.____________________________________ Though I walk the through the Valley of the Shadow of Death, I will fear no evil - for I am the meanest bastard in that Valley.
Is anyone planning on jumping on Friday? If not I'll see everyone on Saturday.
