Default NorCal F-Type Meet, Sat April 6, Noon
Hi Vik, I plan to link up with the Sacramento group along Hwy 128 West of Winters. There's a Winters Brewery / Winery just out of town perhaps a mile on the right side. And Pleasants Valley Rd terminates at Hwy 128, approximate to the Lake Solano Park. There's also a quick stop at that intersection, so my BRG convertible will be at one of those locations. My guess is that you'll be too early for that brew / wine stop, unless you intend to plan on it.
Thanks,
Bill "Doc" Watson

Totally amenable. Always prefer lesser crowds. Always. The fact that I'm even going to this trip has dumbfounded my wife. We're pretty private with our time. LOL

So we'll mess with the route, but how much time should we allow in the morning, that way we can fit in all the stops!

Me too! Time is a precious commodity, and I find myself growing more misanthropic with age.

As a solopsist I find misanthropy a mystifying concept.

Is it solopsistic in here, or is it just me?

Remember the Monty Python skit where all the misanthropic people went back to living in caves as hermits, and their community became all catty and gossipy.

Of course I remember. No one likes a good laugh more than I do.

I happen to know a shrubber. When do you need it? Where would you like it sent? It is quite tasteful, in that it has all the details you would expect it to have but it doesn't have what it shouldn't. Tacky, it is not. Just wait 'til you see it!

only slightly
higher, so we get the two-level effect with a little path
running down the middle.

At this point, it might be handy to include names with screen names, or that can be sorted out at the event.

My name is Vik.
ill be at Chevron on 80 and West El Camino around 9:00am...

my real name is Gregg B. Hill (im keeping my middle name a secret)

OK, sorry for the short break. I've been moving and though it would be a good idea to have a party within three weeks of moving in. I've been burning the midnight oil.

I'll update the list of who is coming. We are still confirmed and ready to go!

We'll link up with you there. I might stop back again on the way home when they are open.

By the way, do any one of you guys work in Pleasanton by chance? I see a red F-Type in a business parking lot quite often.
