Bad News!!

[Beachy]

Well it had to come....I have retired the Old Aviosaurus!! Martyn at Dolby nearly fainted when I spent a few pennies on a S/H Avio DVD machine from him loaded with loads of goodies that i havent a clue how to use! But wait for it........The well know Scot The Reverend Bob has also bought a S/H Kron !! Hows that for a killing for dalco, Martyns wife can buy that new dress he has promised her for years...(The old one was white with a veil!!) Beachy

[BobC]

Wow. Martyn can probably retire now. And Beachy and Rev. Bob are up to the 20th century.

[Lowell]

I would say they are in the 20th century since this is now the 21st century. They are getting there. Beachy does this mean you will not have enough money to come to the MGT?

[Beachy]

I have been toying with the idea of Going over to Fort Lauderdale to see my daughter, and drop into Molline At the same time. I dont know what the logistics are, ie how far away moline is? How to get there...fly? we will have to wait and see.In the meantime I have to find ot about Arabesk. Particle magic, Candy factory, PIPstudio Move over Spielberg Beachy's coming...

[CliffHawkins]

It looks like Beachey is back. Those new programs are fun to experiment with.

Good to see you on the BB again.

[TimKennelly]

We have this big country see, so I would say you would want to fly from Fort Lauderdale to Moline as the cruise ship does not come this way and it would be a long drive.

Hey Beachy,

Yes please come to the 2010 MGT. We all want to meet you in person.

If you wanted to drive to Moline ( actually 5 miles farther to Davenport, Iowa) it's a two day drive from Florida.....so flying into the Moline Airport ( MLI ) would be preferred. OH yes, we drive on the other side of the road....so that might make the drive a little more tedious.

There is a shuttle to take you from the airport to the Clarion Hotel and Conference Center in Davenport, Iowa. That's just on the other side of the Mississippi River and only about 5 miles from the airport.

I have been hoping to get you over here for several years now. It is heart warming to think that you may actually make it this time. I certainly hope so. Hey, why not talk Rev. Bob into coming too.

Now that you have a newly upgraded AVIO with all those new add on features to play with....I know you would have a ball at the 2010 "March Get Together" Especially now that the US dollar has gone down so much in value against the Pound, the trip will be the best value financially, for you and your family.

In excited anticipation I remain hopeful of your plans for next March.

A friend in Japan sometimes uses the word "in-credit-able" - and I uttered it when Beachy broke his news of the century. I just had to contact Martyn to outdo that old guy up the road from me! He's already called me to ask some technical questions - I guess he's suffering withdrawal symptoms from disconnecting his old Aviosaurus Kerosene burner? This electricity stuff is a bit much for his slow thought processes. Please, guys, push through lots of tips to get him moving again. Unfortunately my son in Scotland was admitted to hospital this afternoon so I probably have to drive up there tomorrow. the Kron will not be properly explored until I get back - but no doubt I'll also be seeking some technical hints and tips in due course. It feels right now like I'm glimpsing the Promised Land - or at least that terrifying 21st century!

Rev Bob

[Beachy]

Jim, Nothing occupy's my thoughts as much as, Will I ever get to Moline??.
The Rev Bob and I must sound like the "Wright Brothers" and you lot flying 747's
Just a note...That James Wilson from over here on the BB, is in Hospital having undergone quad Heart by-Pass. I'm sure like me, you all wish him a speedy recovery

I wish I knew how to put a picture up on here as I have a great one of me driving the train!!
Tim? any ideas? John

[MikeMattke]

Beachy in Davenport! That would be something to finally see. I am sure there would be many volunteers to pick you up at any airport in the region Don't rent a car - we drive on the right side and we can't have you causing havoc trying to navigate on your own!
