I missed the B.R. lunch also. I'm in.
You, XD, me, and perhaps others I'm not aware of, are close enough we should be grabbing a sandwich, breakfast or a cup of coffee from time to time. IMO.

I'd love to do that, but I don't really want to drive 2 hours to B.R.

I'm near Slidell. Just thought metro N.O. folks should not necessarily have to wait for an announced meet-up posted on the board. Would be an area/regional type meet-up for us or maybe even more impromptu: "...so I'll be there in ten. How about a cup of joe?"

| I'm offshore now and won't be back until the night of the 2nd but like I said I will be home for 7 days before I have to go back. I think a planned meet up would give more of us time to plan there by allowing more to attend. However on my week home I am free as a bird and don't mind driving a bit for coffee or lunch. It would give the wife and me another excuse to get out. If any of you guys want to meet for a quick bite or somthing while I'm home sounds great.

| The 6th and 7th are out for me, and my work schedule for the 8th and 9th isn't out yet, but I think a lunch on one of those two days mght be doable if it's in New Orleans or thereabouts.

Why should I leave the safety afforded me in Slidell to intentionally place myself in an area where women and children are being assaulted?
Lunch is OK with me, but XD (not Dan) needs to pace off the 1000 feet.
Edited for yellow thing, then another yellow thing 'cause XD said.

Yea XD, on the expressway, like I said been there MANY times and never ever a glance.
Oh, and Jerry, Remember there will be at least 4 open carriers so I think we should be safe enough.

Gotta admit, I'm suprised there aren't more takers.
I figured once a date, location, time was posted more of us would jump aboard. Still plenty of time though, we'll see.

| Weekdays are workdays for most folks. Only some of us have odd schedules, so that doesn't really surprise me. My schedule at work has been really unpredictable of late, as we have someone with an ongoing medical problem that causes unexpected, last minute changes in schedule.

You know you are right, I have been on the boats for so many years working wierd schedules like 2 weeks on one week off and 4 weeks on 2 weeks off I forget normal people have decent schedules. Weekdays, weekends , it's all the same to me. My days go in numbers (5 more and a bag drag till I go home) or (6 more till I go back offshore) So I forget . Sorry Guys.

Welcome to OCDO.
Hammond to Marrero, to grab lunch, may be a bit too far for most. OC or not , you're invited.

Come on Brother, not so much a meeting as a bunch of buddies having lunch. I'm gonna bring the wife and I think Jerry is too.If you aren't comfortable carrying just yet come anyway. The more the merrier. I'm hopeful XD and others will be able to attend also.
11:oo July 8th Marrero Shoneys.

We've had several get-togethers on weekends that CaptainDan couldn't get to and he was hoping to try one mid-week which fits his current schedule better. That's OK. Everyone can't possibly attend all of the time, so moving things around a bit is a good idea. My schedule is still up in the air, but I plan to attend unless the boss assigns me to mid-day then. I won't know until he gets back from vacation.
Folks in places too far from where we are might want to condider trying to start up something in their area. Although some may think we have a leader organizing this stuff, we really don't. We're just a bunch of people with a common interest who want to spend a little time together getting to know those whom we've heretofore only encountered on the web.
