Octoberfest 2014 all topic thread

Hello all,

Since I doubt I will be on the computer at midnight, I decided to make the October all topic thread now. After all, it IS October in New York already.

Jim

Dog jumped down. Boy am I screwed this week. I am doing 3 units of 625 total right next to Oracle convention. Traffic is a nightmare to say the least. View is great from the 31st floor, kinda get the heeby jeebys when I gawk straight down. Anybody here got a helicopter? Just drop me in,,,,,

Just realized I have been the chapter leader now for two and a half years. The reason I know this is because I still have the PM that Stevebricks sent me the day I became leader 03-01-2012. Where has the time gone?

Happy thirsty Thursday Nor Cal. No for me this Saturday as I will be attending the Stevebricks GTG in So Call, and besides, I don't drink. LOL

Jim, please pass to all the guys and gals down there my condolences. i was going through my reps one day and noticed steve had given me one for welcoming a new guy to their chapter. i couldn't believe he had reached out to me like that. he must have been one helluva guy. he will be missed in the FTE brotherhood.
also, have a safe trip down there! see you when you get back

tomorrow, like hanklin said, i'll be wearing a goofy sun hat (cause its gonna be so gosh darn hot and sunny) and a solid green short sleeve button down shirt.
rosie thinks i'm crazy but there will be tons of people. i'll look for that army hat at the WM brew tent. if nothing else, i'll ask around!
have a good friday guys!

Trey will be picking me up and taking me down to Long Beach for the Stevebricks GTG. His truck gets much better mpg than mine. I'll take my camera to get some pics, but Trey is the real photographer.
