New England Cruise Nights 2005

[Bird03]

I thought I would start this thread so we could post our intentions on going to local cruise nights during the summer in case other members might want to travel to meet up for just the evening.

I'll start:

Tuesday July 5th
Cruise Night at
The Village Green Restaurant
Route 1 North
Danvers, Ma
starts at 5:30 PM
free admission
food at the restaurant
weather looks good so far

I will be off-line over the holiday weekend and can't check back on this thread until Tuesday morning.

Dino. I know you were talking about doing the Cruise Night at Kimball's.

http://www.kimballfarm.com/event.html

I can do that one any Thursday this month (and also in August). Talk to George and see when he can make it and I'll meet you there.

For others. If Dino picks a date that you can't make, that's OK as George and I go to this show more than once in the season.

George

I would be interested in meeting up at the village in Danvers at 5:30. I'm new at this although Ive been to many shows. I have an 02 bird.

Hey Wes,
I'm out of town next week, but will be occasionally cruzin' throughout the summer.

[witchcitybird]

Wes,

I can swing by tuesday but will probably have a dirtybird. Have a thought, How's about we do a traveling cruise nite. Try to hit a different cruise nite some where in the near by( i.e. Kimballs, , merrimack valley, north shore, southern NH etc.)area to spread TBN wings? Will try to get a Whips wheels this week to see what is avaliable. Let me know your thoughts.

[Bird03]

Marvin,

Welcome to TBN. There are a lot of great people here and a wealth of information about your bird.

There are some isolated T-storms in the forecast, but I'm still hoping to go to the Village Green tonite. Will check the doppler at 4:30 and if it looks OK at that time I will be up there at 5:30.

George (witchcitybird), see you there.

Barbara, swing by if you're out and about.

Wes

[Sweet T]

(Just a little to fast with the mouse.)
Do you need a fire extinguisher for this?

[Sweet T]

Barbara, I tried to e-mail you my address, but I don't know if you got it...Let me know...Again, thanks! I hope I can do something for you in the future...

Claude :blush:


Sent it out today......has to go through customs. Let me know how long it takes to get there.

[Bird03]

Ken,

No fire extingusher for the Skip's show.

Hard to tell what the weather will be for the show. If it clears early Saturday then the show will go on. If not then then rain date will be Sunday.

Wes

[Bird03]

9:00 AM July 9th

I talked to Skip's the morning and the cruise show is postponed due to weather.

The show will be tomorrow Sunday July 10th starting at 2:PM.

I have to work tomorrow so I can't make it. If anyone goes, let us all know how it is.

Wes

[Bird03]

George (MATBird) and I are planning to go to Kimball's Farm Ice Creme Cruise Night this Thursday (7/14) pending the weather.

Website is:

http://www.kimballfarm.com/event.html

Free admission, live entertainment, BBQ, Ice Creme.

Wes

[Blue Heaven]

Wes,
Can't make it this week...maybe next time.

[Bird03]

Dino,

Whenever you're ready, pick a date and we'll meet you there.

Wes

[Bird03]

Forecast for Kimball's tonight is:

Scattered Thunderstorms between 4 and 8 PM chance of rain 40%.

I'll check it again at 3 PM and decide whether to go or not at that time.

Wes

[MATBird]

Thanks Wes - I'll call you around 4 to check in. BARONVON5 will be there next week, possibly this week

[Bird03]

4 PM thunderstorms just missed Westford by a few miles north. Next goup of them at around 6 PM looks like a direct hit.

Maybe we should postpone till next Thurs.

Wes

---------------- M E R G E D ---------------

Just heard from George (MATBird) and he isn't going either, so it's now offically postponed to a later date.

[Bird03]

Weather looks good for Kimball's this Thursday July 21st.

George (MATBird) and I are going.

Anyone else? Check in here if you can make it.

Wes

[Blue Heaven]

Wes,
I think I might be able to make this one. I'll know better by Wednesday.

[austingoodan]

Hey Wes,

I am planning on being there this week because next week I will be in Georgia till Friday afternoon. I do enjoy the Ice Cream there!

[MATBird]

I believe BARONVON5 will be there also. Wes, need a time to meet at Littleton common if you want to go in and park together

[Bird03]

Looks like weather will be great for Kimball's tomorrow night (7/21).

George--I'll meet you in Littleton Common at 5:30 PM.

For anyone who wants to meet us there, here are the directions for Littleton Common.

To Littleton Common from Boston:
Take Route 2 West towards Concord. Follow all signs for Route 2 up to the Concord Rotary. At the rotary choose Route 2A Littleton (7 miles). At approximately the 5th set of lights you will come to Littleton Common at the intersection of Route 110.

To Littleton Common from Route 495
Take exit 31 off of Route 495. At the end of the exit ramp follow the sign for Littleton Common (Route 119 East). The first set of lights is Littleton Common.

If you show up late, just continue from Littleton Common to Kimball's by going East on Rte 110 towards Westford for one mile. The show field is on your left just before Kimball's which in on the right.

Wes

[Blue Heaven]

George, Wes-

As long as the weather holds up, I will meet you guys at the Common at 5:30.

[MATBird]

I plan to be there. I've already swapped Thursday's work into Friday. That allows me to hook up with you all and then on Friday, I just zip North, from Portsmouth, for the weekend. Weather looks great - See you there :wavey:

[Bird03]

George,

I'm off to work so will not be online the rest of the day. If I get hung up at work or in traffic tonight I'll call you on the cell.

Mom (Doris) might be meeting us at the common, but I won't know until this afternoon. She drives a silver Taurus wagon.

Wes

PS, I can't find my camera this morning, so if someone else wants to bring one be my guest.

[Bird03]

A great time was had by all last week at Kimball's. A whole football size field of cars, live music, and killer ice cream. We'll try to do this again in August.

L to R

George, my Mom---Doris, me, and Dino. (a new member Ron (Baronvon5) was there with his black '05, but not in the picture)

[Sweet T]

Hey Wes & Witchcitybird,

You guys up for Liberty Tree tonight?

[witchcitybird]

Sweet T

Sorry i did not read the thread yesterday, besides it rained comming down 114 from work last night.

Shall we try for next wednesday.

Have been running around the North Sshore and the Merrimack Valley and have not seen another bird since mid July

Witchcitybird

[Sweet T]

It's my fault it rained :tightspot

I washed my car.

I'm up for Wed night....trying to get my uncle to take his '56 out.

Not many weeks left of summer, I'm getting withdrawals already!

Saw a yellow bird a couple of times in the Newburyport area lately....don't know if they're members or not.

[witchcitybird]

Sounds like a go. Carol-ann will probably go browzing in the mall. I'll get the bird washed and cleaned after amherst sunday. I might make Warwick but will be for the day only, If so we can caravan back.

I've noticed the cost of premium is all over the place $2.75(Salem) to $2.91(Danvers- they are doing this for the children)

Witchcitybird

[Sweet T]

Amherst? Sunday?

I've been in NYC....am I missing an event?.....or are you doing that horrible dorm move-in thing?

Spent $44.00 filling the bird in NH, $2.79 for top of the barrel. $2.75 in Salem, MA has to be bottom of the barrel. My A/C is sucking up the juice incredible. I've been saving my cruising for nights. (That doesn't sound right).

I'll see ya Wed. Has anyone heard from Wes? Wes?Wes?

[Bird03]

Hi Barbara--I'm here.

Sorry I missed the posts. I swung by the Village Green on Tuesday on my way home from work, but didn't run into anyone there. Wed. I was off, but the Bird didn't leave the garage due to weather. Have been working nights since then.

I think next week the weather should be good early in the week, but the remnants of the hurricane may get us by midweek.

The Sheraton Four Points in Leominster (where we stayed for the Fitchburg show in the spring) has a cruise night on Mondays 5 to 8pm. Going up there would be a great excuse for stopping by Barbers Crossing Restaruant on the way home.

From a previous post before we went last April:

http://www.thunderbirdnest.com/forums/showpost.php?p=113219&postcount=11

Great prices on HUGE prime rib and lobsters.

OK---who wants to go on Monday Aug 29?

Wes

[Sweet T]

Hey Wes :wavey:

Once again, you're talking my language.....32 oz Prime Rib....so rare a good veterinarian could bring it back to life.....YUM!

That's quite a haul at rush hour though. See what the response is. I have a standing Monday night dinner "date" with my cousin. I'll have to beg off or bring her with me. Or, Plan B, you and anyone else could join us at Capt. Carlo's in Gloucester. Food is excellent, and there's a jazz band with a 12 yr old playing sax and some famous trumpet player (female 78 yrs old! Hey where else can you get entertainment on a Monday?) Whoopie Goldberg stops in on occasion to help out behind the bar. It's a lot of fun!

If we do go to Leominster, I'd like to meet up with you and follow you in, if that's okay.

Has anyone heard from Marvin? Haven't seen him since the Village Green.

[Bird03]

Barbara,

I think that the weather is going to get us all week. Will check the weather in the AM and decide, but I think the Bird will be in the garage all week.

Have a couple of good ideas for Sat Aud 3rd and Sun Aug 4th that I will post tomorrow.

Wes

[Sweet T]

I think I''ll cancel for tonight as the thunderstorms will be here by afternoon.

Wes

Sun's shining bright here, but I just heard a clap of thunder. You're welcome to join us in Gloucester if you'd like. :cheers:

[Bird03]

Anyone want to meet up at the Liberty Tree Mall cruise night Wed night (9/28/05)?

I'll be there around 4:30.

Wes

[Sweet T]

I'll try to make it Wes.

I heard they moved it to behind Kelly's.....or is that another one?

[witchcitybird]

Wes,

have sent out word to get a list of cruise nights, not only here in the North Shore but also in the South Shore and Worcester area. Hopefully i,ll have this by early may so a New England Cruise Nights 2006 Tread can be started.

Any other new englanders can send in a list of cruise nights in their area
