Adios....

.....well, wish me luck...as of Thursday, I will be logged off for a couple of weeks. Our move to Arizona from Connecticut begins on June 1st. Two adults, one child, three dogs, and two cars will be travelling roughly 2,600 miles. We could've flown, but I've never driven further west than Pennsylvannia, and really wanted to experience some landmarks.

Wish I could have gone again to Mecca this year and the Danbury run over the weekend, but there were way too many details to deal with here. It looks like the Southern AZ club has a great organization going on, so I can't wait to hook up with them....

....also hoping I don't meet up with any of the wild weather hitting the Midwest lately....golfball-sized hail

ChgoBlues · 05-27-2008, 10:48 AM

Best of luck Jayman and yea, stay clear of those funny spinning things coming from the sky too.

ChiliSky · 05-27-2008, 11:01 AM

First, drive careful, lots of stupid drivers out there
Second, when you are traveling stop at Shoney's for a meal or 2, being a buffet it makes it easy for everyone to get what they want. (been there done that).
Third, if you want weather updates you could use some of us, get our cell #'s and we can go on line for you, also find some good hotels to stay in. As you go into each state where the first rest stop is, they have coupon books for hotels in the state, some have big savings......

Have a fun drive, be safe and hopefully we will see you next at year in Colorado.

By the way, I am envious, love Arizona

Take care my friend

cerberus · 05-27-2008, 11:04 AM

Good luck with the move. Have a safe trip!

Ruthie · 05-27-2008, 11:06 AM

Wow! Stay safe & enjoy the drive!

At least you're heading to a place where you'll have better driving weather.

**ceeker** · 05-27-2008, 11:12 AM

Wow that's quite the move!

Looking forward to have you in our part of the country!

I assume your traveling the southern route to Arizona?

Missouri, Oklahoma, New Mexico. Not sure what there is to see there!

SkyBaby · 05-27-2008, 11:18 AM

Just be careful.. and dont forget to stop and smell the FLOWERS..... or whatever on the way.... wont you miss the cold??? YIKES.... did I say that? I HATE THE COLD...... SEND WARM THIS WAY.... just have fun! SkyBaby

But watch out for the spinning clouds in the sky, we have had a lot of storms and tornadoes.

Jayman,

Good Luck on the move, all I can say is Arizona will never be the same.

I wish there was enough time on the calendar to come and give you a proper Sky send-off.

If anything it would have to be this Saturday the 31st, I'll have to check with "T" and see what she is doing.

PM me if your going to be around and available?

I'm not home now so I grabbed the Pic from the SNEKR site of your old Blue leading the pack.

Ernest · 05-27-2008, 06:12 PM

JAYMAN moving to Arizona, "Get a Rope". There goes the neighborhood. If you change your attitude, you might survive out here

Might.......

**reedred** · 05-27-2008, 07:39 PM

Somebody please get video of jayman and Ernest meeting face to face!

Have a safe trip, take lots of pics to share, and have fun!

Ernest · 05-27-2008, 07:54 PM

Interesting info for you Jayman:

Once you get out west if you happen to see a snake and it makes a rattling noise, don't panic it is just wanting you to pet it, they are such friendly critters

So show it some love.

Be careful passing pick-ups out here, you might just get a racing stripe on your vehicle

xmicro_Redline · 05-27-2008, 10:17 PM

Missed you out in Danbury Jayman, Good luck with the move, gonna be a bitch crammin all that furniture into that poor SKY!

All I can say to the Arizona club is RRRRRRUUUUUNNNNNNNNNN

marlboromike · 05-27-2008, 10:21 PM

Don't leave any baggage behind.....and best of luck. I know we will be hearing from the other side of the continent now.

Your a sick puppy for sure!

ihawk95 · 05-27-2008, 11:18 PM

Seriously...Jayman...if you're taking a route through Central IL, I'll meet up with you if it works out. Figure you'll probably stay south of me though.

Good luck!!!

solli4me · 05-27-2008, 11:40 PM

jayman, you're priceless. Have a fun, safe trip and be sure to stand on that corner in Winslow, Arizona...

Fred can't wait to meet cha.

Hey Youngster...It you do go thru Tex=ass Let me know in advance and I will positively drive up to meet ya. I like getting to know "Yankee's" Come on down. Drinks and lunch or dinner is on me. Anytime day or night. I will even let you meet my "hottie" wife if you promise to keep your grubby hands off of her.
