October GIRS meeting

Posted By beckerj3 on 10/23/2008 02:01 PM
I'm planning to join the tour in Ankeny.  Are we meeting at Menard's parking lot about 1:00 - or at Ryan's house at 1:00 ???
Dave - I won't be able to stay for the cookout.  But sounds like its going to be good food.
I have the same question - I won't be able to make it to Boone as I have somethings going on in the morning but would like to meet up in Ankeny just need to know where.  Not totally sure how long I can go with the tour should be able to see all the tanks for sure.

 

I updated the schedule to answer when we meet back in Ankeny: Ankeny Menards at 12:45.

I am gonna try and join the tour when it meets back at ankeny at 12:45. Are any of the tanks on the tour built into the wall?

 

JJ's is I know for sure...the rest...no clue.

 

JJ's definitely is and a spectacular one at that.
Ryan, are you coming to Boone or meeting up later?

 

hey will there be a sign or something in the parking lot of where we are meeting or should i just look for someones car?

 

We could just meet up at my car if you wanted. I drive a navy blue, Chevy Lumina. I will be parked out away from everyone that is there to shop.

 

sweet sounds cool to me

 

Here is a picture of one tank we will see on the tour!! /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default/emoticons/hehe.gif Are you sure no one else wants to sign up? /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default/emoticons/w00t.gif/DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default/emoticons/w00t.gif

That is an insanely awesome tank. I think JJ needs to stop lurking and post more!

At 12:45 I assume we will look for the same car?  I have a black Chevy Avalanche if that helps anyone.

 

Dave,
Aren't you coming on the tour?
