    Most likely a local buddy or two will help as I really don't want to dig to deep into this thing by myself as it is/will be by DD and I couldnt afford down time if run into issues. Only way I could see a shop doing it is if I get super busy and start running out of time and want it done asap

    Well, I am really really anxious to be at this meet. But, being in the military leaves some doubt out there. We should be back in the US by Mid-May or so. I won't have to go to any weekend drills for the next two months. So all of June should work....the only thing up in the air is our welcome home ceremony...I don't know when that is. Obviously, I'm not going to miss that.

    I'll keep reading up on this thread and post any more info as it comes to me.

    p.s. I really hope we get home early May, that will give me time to settle back in and hopefully do my large port top swap before the meet.

    Could we move the meet to Afganistan maybe???


    I think that Axxxxxy might still have that cruise ship that we can all load our cars on to!

    we should probably nail down a date for this so we can properly reserve rooms and such

    June 2012
    8,9,10
    15,16,17
    29,30,July1

    July 2012
    6,7,8
    14,15,16

    I figure any of those will work weekend of June 23 is out since that other event is likely to be going on then

    I figure 29,30,July1 may be undesirable since Canada day is the 1st of July... people will likely have picnics and family things going on and July 6,7,8 and on may be getting into heavy tourism season making things unattainable. my personal preference would be June 8,9,10 or 15,16,17

    any thoughts?

    I don't know if we're going to have a voting thread or not, but I would prefer the beginning of June... 8-10th would be best for me.
