Iskander Posted July 31, 2002 Share Posted July 31, 2002 Originally posted by Blackhorse: ...followed by the v-pack blowing and then the end-connector pulling...Do I have to buy Ms. V-Pack a drink before the blowing? And how hard are our end-connectors getting pulled? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaos Posted July 31, 2002 Share Posted July 31, 2002 Damn!! I already had a trip planned for 2 AUG. I'll leave some markings for you guys!! chaos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrold Posted July 31, 2002 Share Posted July 31, 2002 I would dearly love to go, but alas, the 6th is my long-suffering wife's birthday and I think this would push the boundary of decorum to even suggest this trip. Hope everyone has a great time and brings back some pictures! BDH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aacooper Posted August 1, 2002 Share Posted August 1, 2002 I live in Louisville, but of course I will be out of town on the 6th. You guys have fun! The name of the town, BTW Madmatt, is pronounced "Loo-a-ville" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rune Posted August 1, 2002 Author Share Posted August 1, 2002 Last Call before I leave tomorrow. Anyone else going? I have laptop and cd packed. Digital camera packed, will be heading South Sunday right after I get home for Referee Camp. Rune Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Bill Wilder Posted August 1, 2002 Share Posted August 1, 2002 Rune, drop me a note with some ideas on how to find FT. Knox and the Musuem if you can. I'm seriously thinking, almost convinced myself to make the trip. You say that you will be meeting at the Museum on the 6th at 9AM? Are there motels in the area near the installation? Send me any info you can Rune. I think I'm on Madmatt's blacklist right now, so I'll appeal to you. Or you can call me. You have my number...or I can call you. Let me know.

Wild Bill Wilder Posted August 1, 2002 Share Posted August 1, 2002 Thanks, Buddy! I was worried about that. I'm glad to know that. Well, I've been purveying the Atlas, I guess I take 75 to Chatanooga, 24 to Nashville and 65 to State Highway 31 West, south of Louisville. Does that sound right? Is there lodging in the area or does anyone know. I'm getting quite serious about making this trip. Wild Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rune Posted August 1, 2002 Author Share Posted August 1, 2002 Wild Bill, Am staying at the Comfort Inn Atrium Gardens 1043 Executive Dr in Elizabethtown Ky 270/769-3030 or 800-228-5150 there were rooms still available when I made my reservations. We are all meeting at the Museum itself on 6 Aug at 0900. I will be out of town starting in the morning. SO I wont get the chance to call Bill. Toss me an email as soon as you read this.

Randl Posted August 2, 2002 Share Posted August 2, 2002 I am still planning on being there. Still a lot of maintenance I need to get done with the start of our school just around the corner but I am figuring to make it. One last day away will be good for me, particularly a day like this --Randl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Bill Wilder Posted August 2, 2002 Share Posted August 2, 2002 I love the spontaneity of this event. It will be great to meet some of you in person. Dave, I'll see you Tuesday AM. Craig, I'll give you a call Monday evening. Same for you Rune. I hope we can get together prior to the meeting Tuesday AM. Do I get to drive the Abrams, Blackhorse?

Kong Posted August 2, 2002 Share Posted August 2, 2002 I'll be there as well. Live in Lex, KY. Been to the museum once before, it has some great tanks there, Tiger(with a cut-away on part of the armor to show how thick it is!), T-34, plus other cool stuff like a Panzerschreck and Panzerfaust. I am looking forward to checking out the museum with folks who love WWII stuff and of course CM! It will be really cool if we can check out the stuff in storage!

Doug Frank Posted August 3, 2002 Share Posted August 3, 2002 Hello all, All I can really do is blame Scott Boston, he alerted me to this thread. For some odd reason, he thought that since I am stationed at Ft. Knox that I would probably not want to pass up a chance to actually meet other CMers (that and maybe see the CMBB beta). How silly of him, right? Anyway, if I can get the go-ahead from my boss, I might be able to be there on Tuesday as well. Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug Frank Posted August 3, 2002 Share Posted August 3, 2002 Sweeeeeeet....I'd really like to make sure I can make it for the looks at the armor not normally seen by museum-goers. I itch for the day that they finish the expansion project, that and I want to take a bolt-cutters with me every time I pass the LST building...

Did you know that you can volunteer at the Museum, and that doing so allows you to ride in and work on their operational stuff (Hetzer, JGDPZR IV, Sherman, etc)? They're looking for volunteers. If your schedule allows it you should consider it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
