6 more weekends till all holly cool breaks loose.

[Skiddz]

Yep. I'm already getting antsy. I think I'm gonna have to start working on my booze tolerance so I can at least pretent to keep up with Finless and Trooper Sam..

Hey Sam, if I don't score a generator before the event, can I bum an outlet for my charger?

[Trooper Sam]

Consider my electricity to be your electricity. :) I'll be bringing my little generator too, so we don't have to run the gas-guzzling Onan so much.

By the way, Bob is much harder to keep up with than me....although I think I've been doing pretty good this year. :D

[Skiddz]

I've heard ol' Finless can put 'em away pretty good. My tolerance is shot since I started flying full scale.. I just don't drink that much anymore. I just got back from dinner where I had a 32oz. Newcastle and I've got a good buzz.. Back in my 30s wiping out a 12-pack or a bottle of Jack in an evening was nothing. heheh

I'll bring a gas can to help feed the generator.

[Trooper Sam]

I'll bring a gas can to help feed the generator.

Much appreciated! The only wheels I'll have with me will be the coach, so driving out to a gas station will be a pain in the a**. :)

[Skiddz]

I'm definitely comin', but just found out my son has a football game the morning of the 15th... so I'm gonna have to bug out for a few hours... I'm still planning on coming down Friday mid-day tho...

[av8er48]

Hope everyone is ready it's only three more weekends left till the fun begins. Also do forget your AMA card. See you all there.

What's the line-up for the noontime demos??

[av8er48]

Anyone coming down and spending Thursday night at the field??????

Art

[Skiddz]

Nope, but I should be there Friday early-mid afternoon.

[Trooper Sam]

Bring ice, Kevin, and I'll make mudslides! :D

[Skiddz]

I'll definitely have ice in the cooler. STILL trying to see if my stepfather will let me use his motorhome for the weekend. He won't give me an answer STILL so I'm assuming I'll be doing the truck 'n tent bit.

I can always make an ice/beer/gas/Jack Daniels run.. :)

[Finless]

He Kevin.... any word on your Dad's motor home? I got a friend (fireup name Kevin as well ;) ) that could use some helping getting a place to stay......

Bob

[Skiddz]

Got the official nix on my stepfather's rig yesterday. he's got some "RV Group" thing to do that weekend (I swear he did that on purpose) so I'm looking at the truck bed-tent and an air mattress. Not a big deal as that's my sleeping accomodations when I go to the desert and I can lock the helis up in the cab of the truck.

I was kickin' around the idea of renting a small Class C rig for the weekend but that's going to close to $500 based on the limited poking around I've done if you consider fuel etc...

I wouldn't mind splitting the cost on one if someone wants to "room" with me...

[fogger]

Hey freaks,

Well I'm almost 100% sure I'm coming for at least Saturday. Got an offer to fly down with helifreak MarkH for the day! Awesome, I'll get to hopefully meet up with some of you guys face to face :) I assume someone will be selling Freak swag there? I'd like to get a hat -n- shirt.

All,
I am a newb and just finishing up my mini titan and this will be my first FF. I won't be ready to fly but I was curious what the schedule of events is like. Saturday is actually my b-day and i have evening plans around 7pm. I will definitely be there early since i live in Ramona (1hr away) but didn't want to miss anything. Sorry i will miss all you drunkin fools on Sat night. Sounds like a blast before and after the event as well.

[Skiddz]

Usually all the demos begin around noon.. Last year the raffle started around 5:00-5:30 and I was home (Carlsbad) by 7:30 or so. Bring a camera, bring some cash for raffle tix and food.. Bring a hat and sunscreen. Last year the back of my neck got FRIED as did my nose...

Shorts are probably warranted as well - should be a nice weekend..

Let's have a poker tournament! Instead of money we can wager our Align lipos.

Mister, this here's a high stakes game. Thunder Powers and Flightpowers on the table for the ante! :)

[Skiddz]

I'm just gonna wrap my Align's in FP shrink wrap then. :)
