Jumkie said:

Pete, are you coming to Silverstone?



Ok guys, spoke with Levi & Clarky yesterday. I'm gonna be at the airport Thurs morning at Zeroark 30 waiting for a seat. Think positive thoughts, meditate, pray if you have to, I need a seat and one on the connecting flight to NYC. If it all goes to plan, British rain will be pouring down my cheeks like tears of joy at Silverstone.



This should be a record setting meet up:



Arrabbi

Chops

Willski

Ben

Tom

Austin

Shovelhead

Clarkjw

LeviGarret

GaytorDuc

& little o' me. (God willing)



Who'd I miss on that roll call?

I'm in New York New Jersey .......!



Let the jetlag begin. Arrived 5 am, which is 1:00am my time. I left my phone on the plane and had to go back and retrieve it. I realized this after walking half a mile. I ran back, but the gate door was closed to the plane. I could see from the window the plane was still at the gate, so I tried opening the door. Sirens start blaring. ...., I'm thinking, I'm gonna get tackled by some over zealous TSA agent. So I sit there for 5 minutes waiting for somebody to come. .....nobody. .... it, I need my phone, so I open the door, the sirens still blaring. I get to the plane, the door is still open. I yell, hello, hello! Nothing. I look in, the cabin and door to the cockpit are wide open. HELLO! Nothing. I walk back toward the end of the cabin, and there on my seat is my phone. I get it, still thinking, at any moment I'm gonna be arrested and interrogated. I'm having visions of being in a dimly lit room with good cop bad cop asking me questions like, "are you sure you're of Mexican background, so your NOT Arab?" I walk past the open cockpit and out the gate. The siren still blaring. I keep walking, nothing. Holy ...., what's up with airport security?





Problem #2, solved.



I'm sitting here now waiting. The next leg of my journey starts at 7PM. Its now 6AM local time. I log on to see the forum has a new village idiot. Come on guys, I can't leave the forum for a few minutes without you guys letting it all go to ....?
