Glad you fellows can make it!

I'll be there, probably bring a friend or two.
Jim Waterman
I'll be leaving at 4 AM Thursday morning from Northern Westchester County, NY, so I hope to arrive at the diner between 8 and 9 AM, depending on traffic.

I bop out around 5:30-5:45, and it's a 1:40 hour trip for me, so I should be there by around 7:30 or so. I'm spoiled by living close to York.

Looking at your zip code, I figure an 0330 call will get you here in plenty of time.

Greg is making excuses, he lives right around the corner from me! He needs to get his butt out of bed and on the road.

Unlike you men of leisure I still have to toil away to eek out a living which allows me a small modicum of participation in the hobby!!!
Trust me, not being there has nothing to do with getting out of bed and everything to do with fact AEP just kicked off for Medicare and thus begins the busiest part of my work year...lol
And now I need to leave early Friday afternoon as I have an event to attend at 1 Citizens Bank Way but at least I still get to hang with folks Thursday night and spend 10 hrs wandering the halls!

I still work as well but I can't make it. If I could, I'd be right there bright and early with my good buddies.

Sorry, that doesn't preclude a 5AM awakening Greg, you can't explain your way out of this! Suck it up and come to breakfast!

Heck Arnold, that is a drive. Wherever your worst traffic areas are, make sure you are getting around them at the worst time. Heck, if you could get up a bit earlier, maybe 3:30 to avoid those areas, it would well be worth it. I don't know what the drive is like, but I do remember when I was a kid my father would get us up way before the sun rose for those really long trips like going to Maine and Massachusetts.

“Men of leisure”??? I beg your pardon!!! Retirement, like growing old, ain’t for the faint of heart 
It looks like my wife and I will be able to make it this year.
Wow! I think we may hit 36 plus.........the more, the merrier!
I will update our reservation in the AM.
Peter
Peter,
Regret that I can't be there.
MELGAR
Safe travels, everyone!
Peter
I've had my cup of coffee, wish I had pancakes, eggs and a bagel to go with it. Instead, cereal. Have fun fellows.
Sorry I was unable to make it this time. I sure wish this work thing wouldn’t conflict with trains. I hope you all have a great time and hope to see you all in October.
Bill
Me too. I really wish I could be there. I hope you guys have it again in April.
Sorry, I meant say I hope to see all of you in April.
Bill
Old saying that "Work is the curse of the drinking class". Guess we should include model Railroading too!
