Portland area Meet and Greet...........

[WesternXJ]

Let's discuss it. When and where. Rod suggested the Round Table near Gresham.
There's a Round Table here in Vancouver very close to I-5 (exit 4), might make it easier for the Rabbi to come down from Kelso?

[ECKSJAY]

You sure you're ready for the Jeepin' Rabbi? ;)

[PoSxJ]

I'm down for either, I live in Gresham so that would work better for me. However if we end up with the Vancouver one, I'll just have Dvipercop drive. :)

[IXNAYXJ]

Depending on the day, I might be in town on business. A Tuesday evening, anyone?

-----Matt-----

[PoSxJ]

Anyone have a date in mind? Thinking begining or mid September?

[Dvipercop]

Count me in. I'm down for wherever (even if that means I have to chaffeur PoSxJ). :D I have Monday - Friday afternoons off, so anytime in there works.

[IXNAYXJ]

...even if that means I have to misspell the word chaffeur...:D

-----Matt-----

[PoSxJ]

...even if that means I have to misspell the word chaffeur...

:D

-----Matt-----

Wow, someone correcting Ryan. Usually he's correcting me.

[IXNAYXJ]

Wow, someone correcting Ryan. Usually he's correcting me.That's why I did it. He and I have gone 'round and 'round about grammar/spelling in our PMs. Kinda a competition now, and I just couldn't resist. :D

-----Matt-----

Should we start another thread to keep score?

Sorry, getting off subject.

[streetpirate]

[mojojojo]

I'll throw a date out there...how bout Wednesday, September 6th or 13th 7p.m. at the round table off 181st, between halsey and Glisan. (right off I-84)

[IXNAYXJ]

Either date works for me. The place works too, I can leave at 6:55pm and get there early.

Although I think Matt feels left out.

[ECKSJAY]

Gosh, I guess I know where I stand in your book now. :bawl:

-----Matt-----

PDX ppl > you apparently

[IXNAYXJ]

PDX ppl > you apparently

Besides, who would want to go to portland anyways?

-----Matt-----

[mojojojo]

ahhh crap man, sorry guess i missed that part. o.k. how bout tuesday the 5th or 12th. sorry Matt. i love ya man :kissyou:

[WesternXJ]

That works for us.
How about a monthly M&G? Say, first Tuesday of every month? 7PM?

Phil, though I haven't met the Rabbi yet, I did spend a weekend with you in the woods. :scared: :D

[PoSxJ]

That sounds good to me, it's close.

[mojojojo]

I like that idea. maybe we switch everyother time from our side of the river to yours?

[PoSxJ]

So we'll start the meetings on the 5th then?

They serve beer at round table right?

[mojojojo]

oh yeah!
:cheers:

[PoSxJ]

Well that's good, otherwise we'd all have to drink Matt's alcohol again. :)
:cheers:

[XJLaredo]

Sweet, you planned this better then I thought. Now all we need is for everyone to show up.

[PDeeXJ]

My jeep is fuxored. I'll see if I can make it there without exploding! :D

[CanMan]

So.......How did it go?

[XJLaredo]

Maybe they had some private moments they don't want to share.:shhh:

[mojojojo]

Whats up Portland guys. yur makin us look bad. thats it! i'm moving to vancouver.


A wopping 6 people turned out. 4 from portland, 1 from salem, 1 from orchards. still was nice to meet a few new faces, and see a few familiar ones.

in attendance: Dvipercopp, posxj, nitrospeed, bohican, a new recruit Chris (yet to join), and myself.

This is what we accomplished, aside from downing a few beers and learning a bit about the Portland Police Cadet program. Ruled out a Port/Vanc snow run. Posxj and Dvipercopp will take on the roll of setting up a newbie run (TSF) sometime in late May or early June. I will be setting up an early winter run (for all skill levels) (site TBD) around the end of October early November. Forward any imput on these 2 runs to us as we begin planning. Also an update on the work party we disscussed at NWF. there is 1 coming up at TSF, but is way to soon to coordinate any decent turn out. as soon as i hear back from PNWFD i will post info.We will keep everyone posted.

Thanks everyone who showed up. as for the rest of you slackers :looser:

[PoSxJ]

Well as mojo would put it, "I'm moving to Washington". For the first 20 mins or so it was just the 2 of us. 3 or 4 more guys showed up. And the 5 of us talked about a couple things we'd like to do in the next year. But I was pretty disapointed in the turn out.

[mojojojo]

Maybe they had some private moments they don't want to share.:shhh:

Well....Dvipercopp did bring a cpl chicks. :shhh:

[XJLaredo]

Well....Dvipercopp did bring a cpl chicks. :shhh:

Just messin with ya. :D

[mojojojo]

OOOOUUUCH! that hurts man. :bawl:

I think they may have been a little young for Rod. Plus they ain't nothing special ;)


good thing they wont read this

[nitrospeed]

It was nice to meet a couple of the faces behind the screen names. Every one was really nice and reseptive. I would recomend more of you newbeys to come to these gatherings. There is alot of helpful hints to be learned. Thanks guys.

Damn! now i'm old too. whats a guy gotta do geeesh.:smsoap:

[ECKSJAY]

The cowboy piked? I thought he started this whole thing up.

[PoSxJ]

Better old then a pedophile, that's ok to say in here right?

[mojojojo]

yep, no where to be found. go figure :dunno:

[nitrospeed]

I was tempted to turn on my lights for Dvipercopp, but i did not know if he would give me a ticket. I only get to use them at races. incase he reads this, never on the street or pulling a friend over in his driveway hint hint.

I'm suprised he didn't ask ya.

[nitrospeed]

It was pretty close to the road. Legally I can run them but if anyone crashes because my lights distract them, then I am responsible. Which is not good for my childrens colledge fund. that i am getting around to building after my jeep is done. Ha Ha their probubly on their own. Nobodys jeep is ever done.

[Bohican]

It's nice to finally be able to put some faces with some names. Despite the turnout, I learned a couple of things. My stock XJ looks like a station wagon (passed a Scion on the way home, I think it's roof mighta been higher :rattle: ). Luckily, it doesn't seem like it's going to cost near as much as I had originally figured to get things into decent shape. Almost feel ashamed though that my only body damage happened mall crawlin...... in an actual mall parking lot. Oh well, look forward to trying to make it to a run with yall. :cheers:

[PoSxJ]

We actually came up with some good ideas, dispite the low turn out. Maybe we'll get some more guys to show up to the next one. We got rough dates for 3 Portland area runs. We could use some new ideas on locations to hold them. We have to show those Wa. guys that we can organize things too.

[XJourney]

Don't worry about the turnout. In the early years Washington had quite a few meet and greets with low(3-5) numbers. Give it time. Now Washington can't hardly roll without 15 rigs.

I thought about asking ya, but I figured if Gresham PD was going by, there'd be hell to pay. Don't get me started on them...

And as for pulling over friends...I've never done that either... :D

Like everyone else said, turnout wasn't nearly what I thought it was going to be. That aside, it was great meeting ya'll that did show! Just wish I could've had my Jeep there as well. Hell, Ford used to make "jeeps" right???? Yeah, it's a stretch. :)
