So...I talked  to the boss, and she gave the OK for another year.

I'm thinking July 10-12. The following week is bike week, but they'll be showing up the weekend before. It doesn't affect me as I don't ride on the street anymore.

An alternate date is July 24-26. That is close to Grattan, but I'm not certain I'll be going this year.

Let me know.

Either weekend works for me, although less bikers = somewhat less  [leo] hiding behind every tree. What are the chances that anyone beside me will bring a bike this year?

Well yeah, I figured you'd bring the Kraken, at least.

I bring beans. I could bring rum as well.

The first date is feasible, the alternate wouldn't be as that would be my anniversary and would lead to....complications. This is all based on the assumption that I'm still remembered at this point  [laugh]
