I will do my best to get them on here!! They do know about the site. They also have a MySpace page so I would recommend sending them a hello message on that first. I think I overwhelmed her with info right off the bat  . I know she was trying to put a conuntdown clock on her myspace last night!
Kathy swears I have met Amber before but looking at her pictures nothing is popping into my head. It's weird, I rarely forget a cute face! TGIF!!

Yes it is!! Slowly but surely!! I will be happy if it gets to about 30 people. I think that would be just about the right size.
Amber has 2 year old twins so you may not here back from her right away. She also works weekends at the children's hospital.
I need to send her an email and tell her we are talking about her on here!! :rockon:

With two year old twins and working on the weekends, I'm sure she has plenty of time to chat with us.

She may need a few... :shottime::drunkfriends:

Yes it was a good finish by all 3 of our teams. Although it was not a victory it was a great points day.
All I can say about Goodyear tires is  . Their tires are completely shitty and today was humiliating for them. They don't have any competition in NASCAR so there is no drive to develop better tires. Tony Stewart hit the nail on the head earlier this year when he threw them under the bus.

I agree about the Goodyear tires. I used G/Y Z-rated on both my 'Vette and WS6-TA and none would last over 10,000 miles. I never drove either one hard, they would just wear out. At $300 each, that can get expensive!
Mondays SUCK!! We are heading to Florida for a few days Thursday so I'm sure this will be a loooooooong week.
Can't wait to get some sand between my toes and pretend I am at Paradise Beach in Cozumel!

Beach sounds good!! I'm going to Myrtle Beach to see my parents on the 12th.

We did a Cruise Critic get-together at Myrtle Beach a few years ago. I loved it! Have fun!
Yes, it looks like we will be getting a 7-day ship next year! Put us on the list for 2010!
Sure hope they alternate ports like they are going to do with The Conquest. Sure tired of the same old ports.
Of course, we will need to do at least one more on The Fantasy after it's up-graded to see what that looks like.

You may be talking to yourselves, but I keep poking my head in here to listen lol. Just nothing new to report on my end.
Do you think we can surpass Brandi and Chris's group in numbers? Looks like we have 20 so far....
Also, Allison from Indiana will now be accompanied by her cousin Danielle, whom I also met on our last cruise. They are both tons of fun!!
Has anyone started paying off their cruise, or just have the deposit down for now? I'm debating if I want to pay it off in monthly portions or save it all up and pay closer to the final payment date... hmm decisions decisions.

Hi Amy, I thought you had disappeared!! I will update the page tonight when I get home from GA with Allison's guest. Looks like we may have another person book this week as well.
I am going to pay a big chunk of our cruise this week. If I don't pay for it now the money will slowly disappear each month! But if you decide to pay it off, let us know what the options are for excursions!!

Good morning!
It's good to "see" you Amy!
We will probably be paying some, if not all of the remainder soon.
Welcome to Allison's cabin-mate. The list is growing!

Hi Richard! Good to see you around! Wow, I go away for one day and the posts picked up!
Sadler destroyed his backup Watkin's Glen car today. He hit a concrete wall so hard it shoved the LF tire through the fire wall! Luckily he was ok but I am sure he will feel that one this weekend.

Hey Jason! I watched that ra...uh...I mean fiasco...at Indy this past weekend. What a CF!
Sorry to hear about any kind of serious accident but glad to hear the driver is OK! You guys do a tremendous job building those cars to keep the drivers safe in some of those horrendous looking crashes. And I have to say it is kewl to watch a race and know somebody that works with one of the teams. I've always liked NASCAR but knowing you adds a new dimension to it now.

That was the CF of all CFs. That's the 2nd time Indy has had an issue with tires (the first being the F1 race). I bet the fans are pissed up there. I'm not sure who is to blame there. I think NASCAR and Goodyear share the blame equally. We have tested with Hoosier and BFGoodrich tires before and Goodyears are the crappiest by far. Their tire making technology is outdated. BF tried to make some Goodyears for us but they said it was impossible for them to make a tire that bad!
Sadler was ok but I bet he's bruised up. I could not see the impact but it took 45 minutes to get the car on a roll back. It took about another hour to get the car to go in the trailer. The car is a complete loss.
Well gotta run to work. Talk to you guys later!
