Just a heads up, I don't get the big deal about this anymore. Don't mean to be a downer, but it's kinda like...why don't we just meet up one night, grab tons of asian food at Super 88, maybe a quick photoshoot and then if some want to cruise...cruise, otherwise, whatever? I dunno, thats just me.
Maybe we can go to Super 88 for dinner this time. You seem to love that place, huh? I can't even remember the last time I was there. I assume you're talking about the Super 88 in Allston. How late does it stay open? IIRC, parking sucks over there, though.

Parking still sucks but it's always open till 10. And everyone I take there loves the place...lol. But for the planning, I guess planning WAY far in advanced I just don't seem the point. I guess I'd rather see just a hang out then a whole shpeal about a cruise is all, you know? Thats just me I guess. I like hanging with people and talking over good food. lol
Being sick just sux.

Where in Medford is your tennis match? Is it at Tufts University? If it is, it's just a 10-min drive from Tufts to the meet location. It's no more than 3-4 miles. In any event, Medford is like right next to Somerville. You're probably new to the area?

I will most likely show up again as well - hopefully it won't be snowing tomorrow like it was today. Those stock tires on the R3 don't even handle the rain too well - DSC kicked in a few times today driving to work.

I have the same concern right now. The weather has been ugly with rain & temps in the 40s. My summer rubber is not liking it and I'll be keeping a close eye on the temps tomorrow.

I'll be working again... we're short on staff so it's hard to get someone to work for me. I'll be done around 12ish tho. If you guys are still around I'll be happy to join up, but that's probably way too late. Gah! still need to meet some of you guys!

Power steering **** the bed hard in the morning...randomly came back and then **** the bed on my very last fun run...the run I was hoping to beat my time of the days with. Ran over a piece of my splash shield that covers the passenger oil cooler..and I have a random really loud bang in the rear of my car that sounds like a piece of metal is hanging and banging up against the car. Annoying. :/ Hope it was fun...any pics guys?

Thanks, turbobrick!
If any of you guys want to do a photoshoot, just lemme know. There are many other cool places in Boston for a photoshoot. I plan to do it around dusk next time.
I still want to capture a tunnel run on video camera eventually. I may have to wait until I get the Canon 5D MkII.

i'd love to do a photoshoot in boston eventually. especially around the Zakim Bridge.
i went for a cruise the other day with Mike and Dennis around Providence with the FD and forgot how much fun it is. i drive it, yea, but its not as much fun as driving around with others. I will definitely be up for a tunnel run in Boston in the Spring.
