Fun Run for End of October

[tinman]

I get the feeling the some folks think this is happening tomorrow. But it's actually happening on the 27th, right?

Right. We are out of town this weekend anyway. So we should be in Lavonia next Sat. about 10:00.

charlie,  I am sure hoping to make it.. should know by middle of week.....

[Fierofool]

Jerry, hope things work out so you can go.  Would be good to see you again.

Harry, if you don't want to put it on the web, email Don or I your address so we can find you.

[Donster]

As Anne has already told Karin & HarryT, I threw out my back this past weekend, trying to get our garage cleaned out and organized. I had to rely on Shanine's  friends to carry heavy parts to the basement, as I could barely move.
I'm still in excruciating pain and almost killed myself going to work this AM.
At this point I seriously doubt if I'll be trying to get in and out of a Fiero any time soon.
Nevertheless, meeting place before the run next Saturday can remain our house and I'll still be making coffee for those who show up. If I'm mobile/flexible by then, even better, but as of right now, I'm contemplating going to the hospital.

Donster, hope you fell better fast, whether you can actually make the trip of not!

Please keep us posted...

Best,

FGTB

Hi All;
Don, we hope you get better soon.  This is not working out well yet.  I am under doctors care for my shoulder, neck an lower back resulting from the accident I had at work with the Carry All hitting me.  It was getting better for a month or so but about three weeks ago it started getting worse.  The pain is there constantly and I am still working because I can ignore it while I am awake and working, but I can't ignore it at night as no matter what position I get in it only gets worse the longer I lay in any position.  I can't take anti inflamatories or a lot of pain medicine because of my stomach problems so I suffer with the pain and loss of sleep. I am starting physical therapy this week and hope they can get me straightened out as the doctors say it is deep muscle problems.  This was all your idea coming to our house and we were looking forward to you and Anne seeing our area and house.  I had to take a day off work for the run as the boss had me scheduled for the 27th.
To everyone else;  We are lookong forward to showing you all our area.  I am putting an address below for the Loco Mart / Marathon station at the corner of Hwy. 11 and Little River Rd. which is only a few minutes from our house.  Gas is $3.33 a gallon there, so we will meet you there and fill up.  We can then go to our house for a while and then start our run.  We will let you know soon a general idea of our planned run.  Later in the afternoon we will then pass our house again and you are all welcome to come for a pit stop, break, coffee from the Loco Mart  as we don't drink coffee and dessert or you can head for home.  Your choice.
If you have questions, ask here or Email me at Hkthorn@aol.com
The address for the Loco Mart/Marathon is   11709 North Hwy. 11   Salem  SC.
See you all soon;
Harry and Karin

I spoke with Karin a short while ago and they are expecting us to arrive around 11AM.  It's an Hour and 45 Minute drive from Don and Anne's. 
Add 15 minutes to meet Steve, then another 15 to gas up as we approach Harry and Karin's and we're looking at a little over 2 hours to get there.  We would need to leave Don and Anne's by 8:45 at the latest, so make your plans to be there in time. 

Karin said the temperature is forecast to be about 70 degrees up there so you may want to bring a light sweater, jacket or parka just in case.  If you're a coffee drinker you may also bring along a travel cup since the Thorns don't drink coffee or have a coffee maker. 

So I think there's
TopNotch-Pat and grandson  (Will Jonathan be coming along in one of the other cars, too) 
Fierofool-Me and an empty passenger seat
Fiero GTB-Tim
85GT-Jerry?
TinMan-Steve and?
CowsPatoot-Greg

[HarryT]

Sounds like its coming together.  I would suggest you wait until you get to the Marathon where we will meet you to fill up as there price is down to $3.29 now.
Greg - Are you going to meet the rest somewhere else or are you just going to come straight down to the Marathon Station?

[Fiero GTB]

I have an empty passenger seat in the Mera, too, if anyone's interested...

My wife can't make it but I will be accompanied by my 14 year old daughter, Hannah. We are planning on being in Lavonia at 10:00. We'll see everyone then.

[Fierofool]

Will you be at the RaceTrac (I think it's a RaceTrac) next to McDonald's?  If so, we'll just do a buzz-through and pick you up if you'll be down toward the South end of the lot at that entrance/exit.  Easier to get out and in down there.  If you have an FRS radio, we use channel 7.  If you have subsets for the channels, we use subset 0.  I'll give you a call on the radio as we come up the ramp.

Sounds good. We will have a radio on 7.

[HarryT]

Charlie is going to call us when you get near so we can meet you at the Marathon Station.  By the way gas is down to $3.24 and gallon.
See you all tomorrow.
Harry and Karin

Sorry, everyone...I am NOT going to make it.  The car is still up on jack stands....I have had some delays in getting to the battery issue.
