Spring Fling

[Rams]

I really need the judging criteria for the lying contest.

John,
I have to ask, are you interested in the judging criteria because you want to be involved in the judging, a knowledgeable observer, participate in the actual contest or, are you running for office?  

Rams  

Just need to know how low one needs to go to win! I have no credentials to be a judge for anything other than stupidity. I will definitely want to be an observer and would like to be in the contest if I can afford all the registration fees and payoffs. I’m looking for vacant offices to run for but none have presented themselves at this point. If I can’t win the contest, I would have no business running for office!

Sir,
If I can locate any published rules for this contest, they are only available on a Need-to-Know basis.   But, since you have a Corvette stashed in your garage, I may be able to share these documents assuming you keep them stored in proximity of that hot rod.    I'll be happy to forward them to you (maybe even before the contest concludes).   But, it does appear to me you have potential and a flair for this.   Other contestants do not seem to recognize a practicing contestant.

It’s my understanding from the guys over on gl1800riders that the Chinese contingent to enter the contest are on the balloon but got blown off course. It seems they may not be able to participate after all.

John, ran that one up the flag pole to see who would salute and who might shoot, it appears the shooters won.  ;(

Since the judge is a he/she, is Santos the judge?

And I'm out. I just got notice that a long time (50+ years) friend is having his 90th birthday that Saturday. I will be staying near home that weekend. Now I just need to cancel my reservation.

I understand your desire to spend time with that friend.   You will be missed but, we'll trudge on anyway.   We might even dedicate a toast or two/three to you sir.
Be safe out there, there's some crazy folks on the asphalt.  

Rams

Eric,

Dang, dude! Seems fate is standing squarely in the way of our catching up on old times!!! I really thought we were going to pull it off this time, but... alas... sigh... Oh well, it just makes me look forward to the eventual meet up even more... I'll see ya when I see ya...

DDT (12)

P.S. I agree with Rams... Asphalt just seems to bring out the worst in some folks!

[Rams]

P.S. I agree with Rams... Asphalt just seems to bring out the worst in some folks!

For some unknown reason, Bruce's last sentence reminded me of my youth, growing up in rural Kansas.   Lots of gravel roads there.  Learned to ride on those gravel roads and I was always amazed at how fast some folks would drive on those gravel roads with absolutely no regard for other people on those roads.   Not that I really cared but, they either didn't care or realize how much dust they were raising that I would have to ride through.  There were times, ya just had to pull over and let the dust settle before you could see or breath well enough to continue.  

Sorry, sometimes thoughts pop into my head that just have to get out.  

Rams  

[f6john]

That sentence reminded me of your last ride on the racing stripe bike.

I have been following this thread for a while now and looking for a way to make this event . I have been cultivating near the money tree out back  in hopes of a greater harvest.

I pulling for you! My money tree went into hibernation and I’m beginning to think it may never recover. I sure hope nobodies financial condition is worse than mine, nobody ever accused me of being the sharpest pencil in the box! If you are not too far away and especially if you are south west of me, I will definitely come by and help you shake that tree. Hope to see/meet you there!

John,
Ya know, the possibility does exist that you're applying way too much fertilizer to that tree.

Ok, I'm in. Tried to PM RAMS, not sure if it went through. I'll be leaving Central GA on Friday morning. If anyone in the area wants to hook up, shoot me a PM. I'll be checking frequently.

And yes, I have a reservation made. Called it in this morning.

What’s your anticipated route?  I’ll be leaving Friday morning as well.  I’ll likely travel via Montgomery, Selma, etc as opposed to I-20. 
(My mother is in Montgomery, so I’ll make a quick stop to see her along the way, but might could meet up in that neighborhood.)

Just an FYI for those still undecided or waiting to make reservations at the GZ hotel.

Hattiesburg hosts a 1/2 Marathon and holds it on April Fool's Day each year.   They've just started advertising the event and although the activities surrounding the 1/2 Marathon will not affect our activities, it does mean there will be a rush for hotel rooms.   So, if you think you might be attending our Spring Fling, I highly recommend making that reservation.


Spring Fling 31 March - 2 April, 2023

Ground Zero:

Millennium Inn
4301 Hardy Street
Hattiesburg, MS 39401

Edited:   For those interested (John, Bruce, Connie, Carl & Lori, Janice, Brian, Dana and others), I can get 1/2 Marathon applications for those wishing to participate.

Well let’s see ….. first you invite my mom.  Hmmmm.  The problem there is it would take me a week to get there since she would have to stop every 20-30 miles and stretch, so that is out.

Secondly, you encourage others to race against me in the 1/2 marathon.  And I thought you were my friend!  I don’t even need to bring running shoes.  I can run my mouth better than anyone I know.  Well ….. except you Ron.  You aren’t entering, are you?

First let me apologize about my invitation to you to bring your Mom and explain my intent.   My thought was that since you could be starring in the Karaoke contest, I thought that your Mom might want to join in similar to the Judds.   I'm sure the group would enjoy such a show.  

Reference the running shoes, I was only looking out for your best interests, it would be embarrassing for all those "real" athletes to lose to you while you were running in and wearing boots.  

Lastly, I am your friend, I'm always willing to help you get things that are out of your reach.  
I am unable to enter the race myself, I'm already assigned judging tasks, sorry, can't go into those details.

My route options are I75 N to Atlanta, then I 20 West. An alternate route goes through Montgomery. Having someone to ride with wouldn't hurt. That would mean Hwy 36 W to I 85 then South to Montgomery. Also, that's a 7 hour ride, without stops. Need/want to start early.
