April gathering, Sat. 24th, 2010, Eggtc and Arboretum

[cdecker78]

That's not the problem Kay, she works nights and takes her car with her to work, I work days - in Desoto. I'll be out of town on company business till late Friday night and won't see her car again till Sat morning.....

Unless you take her car with you and let her take your car and you fix her car while you have it.

[Minidave]

I can't work on her car while I'm at work......I don't think my boss would be too keen on that idea.....

It's just gonna hafta wait till Saturday, unless it fails completely before then and I have to rent her something or *gasp - god forbid* - I let her drive my Clubby and I work on hers in the evening.....

I'm not on facebook. Is that another mini group or just generally open to the public? Be great to have lot's of mini's hanging out Saturday. I need to know the response you get so I can alert Eggstc for more seating. Also, you might refer them to sign up on this site and respond this ad and any other's on here. More the merrier!!

The Facebook posts tells them to come here for more info, and I added that they should come here for their official RSVP.

The invitation was sent out only to members of the KC MINI Enthusiasts, which is only 57 members total. Still a slim chance someone clicks there but not here -- I'll check the count there later in the week and post it here to ensure we got everyone.

Current confirmed attendees from Facebook: me, Todd P, Stephanie F
Might be attending: Colin R, Toni J, Ryan P

Change in the parking plan's at the arboretum. We will park on the paved parking in the regular parking lot.

Hi Kay, Everett and I plan to come Eggtc, but not sure about the Arboretum. Also, just found the Facebook page. You need to get on Facebook too!

[getsalot]

The arboretum will be pending weather. Let's hope it doesn't rain from Wed thru Sun...grrrrr. Thankfully, Eggstc seating is inside...lol. Probably about the time I finally give in and join Facebook some other site will suddenly be the ONE to be on....lol. Whatever happened to Myspace, Google, now it's Facebook...seem's time for ?????? to be the latest greatest site...lmao

[Minidave]

OK, things have changed again.......

They canceled my trip on Friday, so that means I can work on the Audi Friday instead of Sat, so that means I can make it to the EGGtc place and the Arboretum (weather permitting)....Yay!

So Kay, put me back on the list, please....

[getsalot]

YAAA... hopefully, it's an easy fix.

[Minidave]

Right now the weather's not looking too promising, but this is Kansas, things can change so quickly...

The car's not too bad a job, I have to replace the air springs, should be a couple hours work on each side.

It looks like my Saturday schedule is free... Count me in for breakfast and if there's no rain, maybe the arboretum.

[Counterfit_Mini]

Right now the weather channel isn't showing any rain for Saturday....hopefully they're right.

[Minidave]

Really? Yesterday they said 70% chance!

Like I said before, Kansas weather............wait a minute, now it's completely different!

[IowaM1N1]

Current forecast from the National Weather Service (using zip code 66206):

Last Update: 5:40 am CDT Apr 22, 2010

Saturday: A chance of showers and thunderstorms after 1pm. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 70. South wind between 3 and 10 mph. Chance of precipitation is 40%. New rainfall amounts of less than a tenth of an inch, except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms.

[davester]

Ah, just bring a rain slicker or umbrella and some boots

[getsalot]

FYI, dog's are allowed at the arboretum. They are not allowed on the concrete walkway's but are allowed on the black asphalt and dirt trail's. Most of the unique feature's of the park are along the concrete pathway's. Of course, leash and clean up bag's are required and at this rate, probably those cute mud/rain boot's too...lol. Clug in the mud if you dare...lol.

I posted this in the Mini Owner's Lounge

[getsalot]

Wowwww...we're so stuffed!!! Just ate breakfast at Eggtc. Their food is ridiculouslyyyyyy good. Bring your appetite and leave your diet plan at the door. Their portion's are huge and you will be forced to stuff yourself....lol. They serve breakfast and lunch and they even have a full alchohol/wine bar if you are in need of thirst quenching.

Alot of weathercaster and weatherbug have sunshine on their faces...lol. Beeeautifull afternoon and eve. Thank's iowa for the update. I don't know who's name's go to which profile on here but I told them 15 bodies give or take either way. They are puttiing us in a large group room they have so it's no problem. See everyone tomrw. I'll be parked along the street side of Renner in the parking lot. We can all line up along there in the lot in front of Eggtc.

[Counterfit_Mini]

I'm Stephanie F on the facebook list.

[cdecker78]

I am no longer gonna make it. Food poisoning and eating dont go well together.

see you all at the next meet up.

[getsalot]

Hope you went and saw a doctor. Get well soon.

[getsalot]

Look's like it will be decent enough weather to make the cruise out to the arboretum and wander around there a bit. Route plan is: Right out of the parking onto Renner, Left on to 79th st (across from the JOCO SM Park), Right on Pflumm, stay on Pflumm all the the way out 179th st, Left on to 179th st, Right into arboretum. Park on the paved parking lot or the overflow grass lot beside the lot. Obviously, not a speed racer course...lol.. but should have some colorful landscaping and minimal signal's along the way. Approx mile's 16.

[Counterfit_Mini]

We're getting ready to leave the house to head down there.
