Title: Damsel in distress!
Post by: DesmoLu on November 22, 2008, 08:20:30 PM
Help! Help please!!

I am hoping to find a kind soul who would be willing to pick the Matador and I up from Hobby Airport on Monday, Dec. 1st at 9:30 in the am.

In return, I will happily provide a home-cooked dinner/lunch etc.  Our original ride just up and went to Vegas and I'm having a hard time finding anyone that can get off of work just after the Holiday. To make matters even better, I forgot my phone at home and Jesus's phone broke so we can't even call any of ya'll. So I hopes that some of you are checking the board.

Please let me know if any of you can help. Would really appreciate and gladly return the favor anytime. Hope ya'll are enjoying the moto show this weekend and getting in some good demo rides.

Cheers,
Lucrece

I will personally wash, wax, and detail the bike of whoever picks us up.

If you guys can wait till I get out of work, around noon! Otherwise, SuperShuttle may be cheaper than a taxi.   [moto]

I can drop by and pick you up on the 1st, send me an email with the flight info, that way I can check and make sure the flight's on time, etc.  I'll have to be able to get back to work by noon though so I don't use up too much vacation/PTO to do it

I was about to say yes but with my luck, my coworker who backs me up has a doctor appointment that AM, which means i can't leave to get you guys.  I was actually looking forward to taking a day off and sleeping in in order to help you guys out.  Dangit!

hey guys, I need to know no later than friday morning if indeed you need me to pick you up, so please let me know and have the flight info to me no later than then as well.  It's a very very busy time for me and I need to be able to plan these things out

Hey dude, thanks so much for the offer. We're currently trying to change the flight till later so we don't bother anyone's work schedule. We'll let you know by tomorrow for sure.

Thanks a bunch! [thumbsup] [moto]

Thanks so much for all of the offers of help, guys! **REALLY** appreciate it!

We tried to change our flight but the price difference is a bit more than the cab would cost so guess not.

David, are you sure it is ok to take off of work a bit to pick us up? We get in at 9:30 so it wouldn't be too much. If it's not ok about work, we totally understand. But if you can do it, thanks a million and I'll PM you the flight specifics.

Thanks so much guys and HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!
ps. it just started snowing here  ;D

yeah, just send me the flight info

Post by: hiero on November 30, 2008, 08:53:38 PM
um, ok guys, I haven't received any information from y'all at all.  I haven't made plans to take off from work because I haven't received the flight info from you or any kind of confirmation. 

I'm sorry guys, but at this point, I will not be picking you up because I have no info, but if you end up stranded, give me a call.

Sorry man - Jesus thought I had done it and I thought he had done it. With all the family sh*t by the time we were in access of a computer it was this am an we were at the airport ::sigh::

Since we don't have anyone's number because of the dead and forgotten phones, we just wanted to update that we will just take a cab since it looks like we probablly will not make our flight anyway  :o

Thanks again for all the offers for help. Warm Houston here we come!!!

not really. We took the bus and Jesus was attacked by a pair of possessed, rabid supermodels, that sadly forced him to take viagra and raped him  :'(

Rabid supermodels are not hot, man. The rabid ones just look like anorexic zombies  [cheeky]

... needless to say, the Matador highjacked my account on the above post. And we did make it home okay (thanks for asking!) although we did take the bus and meet some seriously interesting/very stoned people...
