Awards

With all this polishing going on...........are we having a bike show? What is first place prize?

MP

Bike show? not really. We do not park them for judging and observation. We go riding instead. After supper saturday night we voted on many categories. A "Hauley Award", orange & black, went to the bike trailered the shortest distance to the rally.

Keep up with distance ridden to rally. Distance award.

First place prize last year went to cagtegory "most ridden least washed". It is a riders rally. Prize was a micro fiber cloth, appropriately labeled.

Might have a new award for bike made of parts from the most different models. ?Any suggestions for name of this award?

Best bike went to a classic Honda gold wing that still ran well. It is a classic riders rally. New bikes can ride with us, but the classic bikes are revered.

It was fun.

Just packing to leave, Wednesday and Thursday look like rain here in the North, so hope to get past it today

got the email...but no printer to fax it and my computer wont download their files for some reason so I just emailed them my dinner options so i hope that'll work....Phil send me your email and I can forward this to you asap

[TopCatGr58]

Hey Jeff,

Thanks for the menu, they had asked me to just call them back, so I would think that they would ACCEPT an email with the order clearly written/documented in it!

BNE, go to this website: www.openoffice.org and download the FREE suite for your operating system ie. winXP, and the install it. IT is a free office style suite that will open all of the Microsoft OFFICE type documents, Word, Excel, etc. Since 2010, OFFICE changed their file structure, so that they have an "X" at the end of their file name designator ie. document.docx .

So if you have an earlier version of MS Office, 2007 or earlier, that's probably why it won't open. But if you don't have any OFFICE program, then that's also why you can't open it since they said it was an EXCEL document which is a spreadsheet type document. HTH!

The weather forecasts so far are cloudy with only 20-30% rain chances, hopefully that will diminish as the weekend gets nearer!?

T.C.

So let me get this straight. We'll be getting there Friday afternoon, and leaving Monday morning, so is everyone eating there Friday evening, Saturday morning, Saturday night and Sunday morning? Am I correct that most wanted to go find a different location for Sunday evening? Also, I guess I'll make an order for Monday morning unless they want to leave out earlier than that. We can discuss that after we get there.

Also, does the IH have a problem with me skipping their iced tea and bringing in a beer or three to wash down dinner with? (Or for Greg to wash down his breakfast..) lol.

[BA80]

You know I have a couple before breakfast and then have sweet tea with my bacon Tod.

I don't see a breakfast menu in your post Jeff.

Tod,

You have it right. Since Graham is a dry county, the Iron Horse has no liquor license to protect. Therefore, they will have no problem with you washing your dinner down with the adult beverage of your choice.

[jetmechmarty]

Greg,

You'll be able to order your breakfasts when you show up on Friday.

[BA80]

Ok..............

[JeffH]

So let me get this straight. We'll be getting there Friday afternoon, and leaving Monday morning, so is everyone eating there Friday evening, Saturday morning, Saturday night and Sunday morning? Yes, most will do this since it is so convenient especially the dinners. Breakfast for some is just coffee or just enough toast to not get hungry before lunch.

Am I correct that most wanted to go find a different location for Sunday evening? Yes, I don't think I-H offers a Sunday night Dinner. Sounds like some are planning 30 minute ride over to Bryson City for Sun PM dinner.

Also, I guess I'll make an order for Monday morning unless they want to leave out earlier than that. We can discuss that after we get there.

Also, does the IH have a problem with me skipping their iced tea and bringing in a beer or three to wash down dinner with? (Or for Greg to wash down his breakfast..) lol. No, last year I was downing my food with Dewar's 12 on the rocks and using their ice.

See you Friday night
Jeff
