Count on two more

Due to increased flooding in our area, I will not be attending Spyderfest.
I am very disappointed because this would have been the first event for my wife and I. We purchased our Spyder a few weeks ago and it has rained ever since...

Anyway, I live in Southeast Missouri and we have family members affected by some of the levy breaches, and it is potentially going to get worse, so we have made the call to stay home during this time.

I will be cancelling a room at the Wagon Wheel, so if anyone needs that, be sure to give them a call. They are very nice folks!

Sorry your not comming we are on dry ground and going strong about 30 to 40 ryders are in! skys are blue and looking good!!!!

[SpyderWolf]

Real bummer . I had you on my list of legends I wanted to meet. Better to be safe.

There is a remote chance I may have to cancel or alter plans. Our daughter was hospitalized with a high risk pregnancy. She is at 25 weeks but the baby is showing only 21 weeks of development. Big decisions in the next 18 hours. Prayer for comfort and wisdom accepted.

I was looking forward to meeting you and checking out all of your RT mods in person as well. Hopefully we will meet sometime in the future. My thoughts and prayers are with your daughter and the baby as well. I hope everything works out well with this situation.

I sure hope everything is going to be okay with your house. I also hope your other family members make it through this without any major problems. Your area has definitely had its fill of bad weather this year already, and it is probably enough to last a lifetime.

Thanks for thoughts and prayers for our daughter and the challenging birth. I've posted a story and pic in Off Topic about it. Things are stable as they can be with baby and mother. So.... I'm heading to Cuba.... but I'll be flying in.... no Darth this time.

We have tornadoes and really bad storms here in East Texas right now, but it is supposed to clear tonight. I fly from Tyler to St Louis tomorrow and should arrive at Cowtown about 6pm. I'm so looking forward to meeting all of my heros! I'll have on a black T-Shirt with my SpyderLovers avitar printed on the front and back.

Thanks again family.... see you Wed night....

[SpyderWolf]

Safe travels to you Phil.

We had water so bad at our house, we had a moat. Deepest point water was probably 2 feet deep. Approximately a foot deep at the end of our drive. We could barely get in and out. HOWEVER... I came home from work last evening... Lo and Behold, the water had completely drained off my property. Amazing. IN addition, Connie from the wagon wheel called today and said a room had opened up, and asked if our plans had changed. Indeed they have, so in a twist of fate, we are loading up in the morning and heading to Cuba.

Looking forward to meeting a lot of folks there as we are newbie RT owners and newbies to the board. (I tried to post a new thread, but I suppose you have to be a member for a while?? I didn't have the "new post" link)

Anyway, we hope to be there early afternoon on Friday!! We are really looking forward to our first Spyderfest.

on the water receding at your house. I am glad it didn't get any worse for you than what it was. I hope you have a safe trip to Cuba and a great time once you get there.

Excellent. Thanks SpyderWolf. We are very excited.

I took off work early this afternoon and we would have headed out for Cuba tonight, but my wife couldn't get off work at the hospital she works at on short notice. But this did give me a chance to ryde for a while! OMG, it is like being let out of solitary confinement. The sun was shining and the skies are blue!

Praise the Lord and pass the potatoes. Cuba here we come!

(Hard to tell that I am happy isn't it? My wife says I am sick...)

You are not sick at all. If it wasn't over 14 hours one way for me, I would be trying to do the same thing. The bad weather here seems to have moved on, so I am hoping to get some ryding in this weekend.

[SteveMac]

We are only about 4 hours away. I am Mapquesting and programming GPS now! Should be a nice ride tomorrow. If we have as much fun as I am hoping, then we'll probably plan our vacation around it next year. Have more time to spend there getting to know folks that way.

How about June 16-18 for Lamont's BBQ and the BRP Owner's Event? Will you be able to schedule some vacation time to make it there?

Perhaps. Where is it being held? I have seen references to that here and also saw some photos, but never actually saw the location.

Lamont's BBQ will be at his house in Mosheim, TN and the Owner's Event is being held in Maggie Valley, NC. I think they are about 2 hours apart. There is a thread about this event, kind of like this one about Spyderfest on here.

I will definitely check into it. Eastern TN is really nice country. Looks like it would be about 7-8 hours from me. Thanks!
