Time to step up to the plate my friend. Make sure you have a good grip on the railing.

better men than me have failed at the attempt, although I should be flattered at the consideration

yes, Dave has reinforced the railing, and I might even have learned my lesson

And just fixed a loose post.

Just got music playing on the back deck. Airport Express into RITA driving sealed SEAS FA22eN.

So Ashton and I have decided we're coming. But being our inaugural visit, we're not sure what all to bring. How many speakers should I pack? How much beer should be brought? What's the food contribution suggestions?

Oh, and would it be of interest to anyone if I brought a measurement mic and computer to run REW?

 

[planet10]

Be good to have you.

Any food helps, there is usually lots. Beer, as much as you need, any leftover we give away after (i drink very little beer). Bring as many speakers as you want…

We're thinking a late Friday ferry over. If it's past 10 by the time we arrive, should we just set up the tent and say hi in the morning?

 

[planet10]

There will likely be people up untill midnight or so. You'll want to have the best camping spacespointed out

Lotsa motorcycle parkig

I don't need a lot of space, but it needs to be flat enough, with a hard surface for the kickstand. It's not fun anymore if the kickstand digs into the ground and the bike goes over on its side.

Is there such a place where my bike can be parked safely?

Throw a scrap of plywood under the kick stand, I'm sure there's a piece somewhere around there.

 

[planet10]

We can find one… likely up under the other house deck… concrete pad.

Getting there late at night can be hazardous! A few years back I got there pretty late and as I walked into the house I accidentally stepped on the Geek's face. Luckily, no damage was done to my spiked Golf shoes that I was wearing at the time. The next morning I noticed that the Geek had come down with some rare strain of Chicken-Pox!

Best Regards,

Well the ferries are full. Next space is on the 9 so it'll be dark by the time we get there.

 

[planet10]

Quarter to 9 now and it is dark

12 hours and counting for me!

I finally put some raffle winnings to good use and I am bringing a virgin pair of two-ways! Tux is whipping up a passive XO from measurements taken last night and hopefully I will have something to show!

My neighbor should also be making an appearance. I mentioned it tonight and his face lit up.

Wakey, wakey, time to get the amps warmed up and onto the business of listening. Oh wait, there's that Turdish coffee to be had first.

Hope everyone has a great time. I am sad to miss it but there is so much to be done here that I hardly even have time to feel sad about not being there.

Hello to all the diyers!

 

[vinylkid58]

We'll miss you call.

Wish I could be there too. Thought I'd check in and say 'Hi' to everyone there.
