ok ... color me confused ... always thought 1530 was 3:30?

golf saturday late am?

me bad - must be the microwaves from cooking my dinner cooking my brain :o I'll trust you to point me in the right direction Sunday afternoon when I head out - and remember, I'll be the guy without a watch :D

and Phil - golf is not my game - but I'd be happy to toast a successful game for you.

Yeah, I'm thinking that's the way to go :) I need to stop looking at this thread. Really. It's just making me anxious and more excited.

I'm thinking perhaps I shall bring out some good Oregon craftbrew for you all to try :) Must remember to wrap it up well so it doesn't break in my suitcase :)

Its not looking good for me coming now,

My wife is starting not reaaly feel excited about me going to the get together while she is hom ein NY.

As I said before I cant bring her either.
Also plane ticket prices have gone up so thats not helping my case lol.

Im going to make one last attempt tonight to convince her as well as myself that I should go.

Proirities Chauncey....as much as we would all love to have you here...pregnant wives outrank a party any day of the week (speaking from experience).....there will be other opportunities to meet everyone, and you would likely be a wreck with worry.

Directions
 

Hope this helps.....PM if you need more......or if you want phone # etc.......

Hey tec, never know who'll show up........... :lol:

global, pj, global...

* wonders if Seeker got those magic red slippers to work *

Now that would be totally cool :thumbsup:

paddyjoe....that REALLY made me laugh lol

I laughed when I saw paddyjoe's post... I thought to myself "yep, that'd be directions for me!" ;) :D

Oh shit you need to buy ticket in advance :eek:

You can get them at the terminal on this side.....dont see why you cant over there

Might check on it though

You can buy them at the terminal.... highly unlikely to be a full boat. However, if you are feeling worried you can book in advance.

It looks like I will be on the Friday at 7pm boat as well. I will be on foot as I can't carry my clubs on the scooter. (Phil are we playing the par 3 across the road or are we playing somewhere else? If it's the par 3 I can get away with just a handful of clubs and my putter).

I haven't decided if I'm going to book a hotel or just crash on the floor... hope there's room on the floor, just in case.

Plenty of room at the house....and I think you guys are going to the country club....may want to bring a few extra clubs.

charlatan, we'll do the lakeshore course...full 18...they've probably got rentals if you need...

bah humbub

Rentals are always fun!

who's showin up on friday and at what time....unfortunatly i can only come/stay friday so if peep's is comin in early i shall as well..i have to be home by 3am b/c i gotta take the wifey to work at 6am...*sat mornin that is*

I will be there Friday ... the girls fly in and should be at Tecoyah's around 7:30pm ish, the ferry boys should be there 9:45pm ish ... plus Paddyjoe and Tecoyah who are Rochester regulars :)

hmm - not "ferry boys" please.

there must be some more manly term.

The men who board those manly man ships that take them to far away shores to see sights and take women.

Naw, just doesn't sound right either.

Looking forward to it. Probably leave here Friday afternoon and get there sometime Friday, early evening.

If work allows. I have traded the weekend so hopefully there won't be any problems, just have to leave early enough Sunday to get back here to work by midnight..... unless I can work a deal for that also.

I really need this trip and it'll be my first golf outing this year.

So what time do I gotta be at the ferry dock??



Remember I got a 3 hour drive to T.O.

How about able seamen? Mates? Scallywags?

I'm not going to be able to sleep next Thursday night. I just know it.

We be Pirates then, eh? 'T would explain much then, missy. Arrr. Avast and belay there. A piece of good Spanish silver to you then for the fine look of you, and another to thank you for the smile in your eyes. Arrr.

My plane lands at 530 friday.....I dont know what time somebody is picking me up though lol


Kramus did you HAVE to do the pirate thing? pirate speak arouses me greatly...specially when done while pulling my hair :lol:

/singing

Don't pay the ferryman,
Don't even fix a price,
Don't pay the ferryman,
Until he gets you to the other side;

/end horrible singing voice

Shani, I plan on camping out in the main concourse on Thursday, just so I don't miss your plane...... :thumbsup:

with bells on.....








(or something)

hehehe well I feel extremly honored kind sir <curtseying wearing something lowcut>

From the Schedule Page:


So if you're catching the 7pm Friday boat you ... you wanna be there no later than 6pm. If they're like the ferries I've been on, they've got food, etc - or just get there and get comfy for the ride over :)

Hey Pain....google maps say it's only a 4 hour drive from you to us. Down route 81 south to route 90 west. The ferry will probably tie you up for 6 hours or so.

Just a thought......

That's what I said... easier to drive to Rochester from Kingston than to take the Ferry from Toronto...

Tecoyah: What do you need us to bring for food? Are we just going to chip in for groceries or should we bring some stuff (besides the booze, etc)? It looks like there are going to be quite a few people over from Friday night to Sunday morning.

Also are there good galleries and/or museums in town? What about shopping etc? I may want to do a bit of wandering on Saturday afternoon after golf, if others are up for it.

well...to be honest.....this is a much larger gathering than I had planned for....which is wicked sweet

there is much to do here....museums, shopping, theater.....etc...we will, I am sure....discuss the game plan as things progress

I will have some food and booze here to get us all started....and we can decide where to go from there

in my opinion,,,,the more people who show up....the better this party will be
I say pack light...bring youselves and we can buy what we need down the street (got a Wegmans a mile away, and a good liquor store even closer)

we will play much of this by ear.....much the way TFP works

I love to wander!!! count me in for that


/must remember to bring my wandering shoes

So who's picking up this owl when she lands?

I am flightless, after all...must get other things to do my flying for me. I get into Rochester about an hour after Shani, at about 6:20.

I will be bringing some Northwestern delicacies. Is it possible that any of the Canadian comers could do me a favor and bring a bag or three of Ruffles All-Dressed? I'll give you lots of hugs and kisses as a bribe. Or maybe just some beer.

Onesnowy - I believe the Paddywagon awaits both you and Shani .. the paddyboy will correct me if I'm wrong :p

i can't wait to see the pictures and hear some stories...

7 pages and we ain't even there yet...i like this...

okay looks like i'll be gettin into rochester around 5.30 or 6 then...and i'm gonna push it and stay as late as i can on friday...

Have no fear, flightless owl, Shani and I will be there for you.

PM me with your flight info.

I think I can manage some all dressed ruffles for the owl...

what are dressed ruffles?

*kramus wonders if Shani is thinking perhaps of a costume, and those are often undressed ;)

all I can think of is chips and dip........................... :lol:

All Dressed Ruffles are a tater chip that I think are in Canada only, They've got all sorts of spices in them — ketchup, onion, garlic and more. They're quite tasty...

wonder if snowyowl gets some if she'll let me try one...it sounds good

Oh, I will :D They are quite possibly my favorite snack food on the planet, and everyone I know who tries them immediately becomes addicted :)

then maybe Charlatan should bring LOTS of them :lol:

HAVE FUN! REMEMBER THE PICS!

Well all my car still hasn't gotten out of the shop I hope it done by next week so my showing up is kinda hanging.:(

Because with out the car there is no way im driving my P.O.S. van to Toronto!

Do what you can Pain.....but dont stress about it.....

this is supposed to be fun

trying to set up a couple extra computers in the house for the party....anyone have a NIC card sitting around....lemme know

I have some halmark cards....will those help? ahahahaha

sorry I couldnt resist...this time next week my plane will be getting ready to land!!!!!!

Yeah I do - -PM me your address and I'll mail it out i the am

why don't you just bring it with you mal............ :D

Its going to a yearly thing?

We Shall See.....depends on how this goes

Oh ok.

Look like the list is growing

so far what the car needs
- U-joints
- Rear brake calipers
- Rear brake shoes
- Fuel pump (got a leak)
- Rear shocks

I think she is going to be a 1,000 + dollar job :( :(

paintrain...who needs breaks? fred flinstone that shit...
YAAABAAA DABBBA DOOO!

LOL might not work like that!!

Just hope on the bus to Toronto... a lot cheaper than 1000K...

Better yet, check the Univeristy's ride board. There are always people driving into TO looking to share the gas.

Charlie, there are many wonderful galleries and museums to check out if you have the time.

Here are a couple of the best:

1) Probably one of the finest photographic galleries AND museums in the world, The George Eastman House.

http://www.eastmanhouse.org/

2) Center at High Falls. There's a great gallery here that features Rochester's finest artists. Plus a great view of a nice waterfall.

http://www.centerathighfalls.org/index.htm

I'm plotting like crazy on how to skip out of work early. If so, I'd love to show you guys around.

Joe... if you can pull it off that would be so cool...

Paddy, need someone to call so you can go home and take care of a "sick family member"? :D


*starts working on her cough*

hahahaha......sick is right!

Of course you could just tell them you're sick... but that isn't anything they don't already know (at least that's what Flyman says...).

it is ok paddyjoe, they mean it out of love.... love or ridicule.

yes, definitely either love or ridicule. :D

Is it too late to reserve a spot on the floor?

Haven't finalized my weekend plans, but I may just be part of the Friday ferry-folk.

Arr, we be pyrates, mate. Not "ferry folk" :hmm: Ye can sale wi' us if ye have a taste for loot and the fancy ladies of the Spanish Main. And a hankering to see the far off lands of Rochester.

Arrr :thumbsup:

everyone visiting rochester (my hometown) should go to the Ten Ugly Men Festival. Basically, it's an all you can drink (beer), all you can eat (dinosaur bbq) festival with live music and sports. It's where anyone 21-35 will be all day on saturday. Check out the sight... http://www.tenuglymen.com

Yakk... it would be great if you can join us on the Ferry. Just look for a bearded salty dog that goes by the name Cap'n Kramus...

(just don't mention his wooden leg... he's a might testy about it).

The TEN UGLY MEN? Sounds like this lot...

Tecoyah....Yes
Uncle Phil...Yes
Paddy Joe..Yes
Amonkie.....Yes
PainTrain....Yes
Oblar.........Yes
Kramus......Yes
Charlatan...Yes
Pan6467.....Yes
Shani.........Yes
Onesnowyowl...Yes

...not all men (and the count is a wee bit off) but it's sure to get ugly by night's end....

woo hoo... i didn't make the 10 ugly men...


i sexy.

maybe like a pink thong joe?



:D

Yakk ... I don't forsee a problem ... seems Chauncey gets to pamper his wife for the weekend instead ... so that should leave at least some room :)

Uh, you have 3 very pretty women in there...
/me hands you her glasses

and always room for one more, dawg........ :)

You are more than welcome Yakk.....plenty of room.....but....you may end up with a lazyboy on the porch....heh

/me thinks that there will be a few lazy boys on your porch this weekend ;)

I'll pack a thermarest. =)

I'm soooooooooo excited...

This morning while bored in my American Novel class I made a list of what I need to pack (boy am I just like my father). I also need to keep reminding myself to load up all my new music onto my iPod lest I end up traveling without System of a Down's entire discography and the new White Stripes.

Time to get cracking on the laundry and the iPod loadin'.

I'm so loving the new white stripes... :D it's definitely Ipodworthy

load up a bunch a Lawrence Welk so you an uncle phil will have music in common.................. :lol:

and Barry Manilow and Neil Diamond and Ratt please!!!

lol I made my list this morning too

You're just makin the list? I'm already packed :D

I had a dream last night that Kramus was making a documentary... he had a miniDV camera that was the size of an ice cream truck (in fact I think it was a converted ice cream truck) which is rather oxymoronic when you think about it...

I can't remember what the doc was about but he was determined to make it.

Kramus... remember there is an extra charge for vehicles on the Ferry (even if that vehicle is just a camera).

Some of us are not lucky enuff to be leaving when you are missy!!!!

hmm, am i the only one that seems to pack within about an hour of leaving? I guess that is why I always forget at least one thing each trip I take *grin* .. oh well, as long as I get the basics down I tend not to worry.

I just found out I have to unpack the icecream truck and do a documentary with a sketch pad. I may just put a toothbrush in my back pocket and call it a day.

and don't forget those sexy lennon sisters...(/me gonna get you, pj...)

tec, i plan on leaving here friday morning around 9:00; that would put me up your way between 12:00 and 1:00...are we gonna do 9 holes friday afternoon?

phil and tec...i'm not much of a golfer, but if yall wanna get a bite afterwords i can leave b'lo a little earlier or if yall are just gonna be hangin around.

hit the cell up on friday 315.372.4383
or if anyone else is bored on the way over and wants to pass the time.

3 more days

Likely friday golf is not in the cards.....between arrivals Prep and TFP participation, I'm gonna be stuck here.....

But, there may be others....heh

I can't do the 9 holes on Friday as I will be on the 7pm Ferry from Toronto... That gets us into Rochester at around 9:30 or so... that's a wee bit late for even twilight hours.

Just so I can make a list... is there anything else anyone wants or needs from Canada? The list so far:

*A few bags of Ruffles All Dressed

am I on the list for a bag?

I was just going to bring a bunch and let you and snowy mud wrestle for them... :lol:


Naw... I will bring enough for both of you.
