There are approximately 25 Vineyards within 30 miles of Southold. For those interested we’ll set up a tasting tour.

I did'nt get an invite to attend.:(

[Freezeking2000]

I could come by boat, where is the marina from the lodging? 20 miles by boat, 5 hour drive on a Friday.

I live about 20 miles or 5 hours from the lodging.

This will be a great experience for people who think long island is just traffic.

Claudio’s Restaurant is a must do for us? I think we will fit in well.

Those coming from the north should check out the ferry from Bridgeport to Port Jefferson: http://www.bpjferry.com/

If you know of Claudio’s then you know there’s plenty of marinas.

If we choose Silver Sands then you could anchor off the beach.

So what's this convention all about? Will we be attending seminars and hands on training sessions along with discussions of new products?

I definitely want to bone up on my beer can cold skills.

I have been to New York City once, but never to Long Island. Im sure the fishing and the water there is great. Hope everybody enjoys the convention!

I don't recall any technical stories being told. We do try to say "superheat" at least once during the weekend so we can claim it as a business expense.

[Green Mountain]

Hey nice job Paul and Vicki !!! Looks like you got this organized pretty well---and EARLY!

We have been away all of February. So this is the first I had a chance to respond.

The War Department and I have been to every convention so far as well. It bummed me out that we had to leave Canada early last August. But it looks like it will be clear sailing for us this year. Maybe we can stay the few extra days as well. (Being that we have an Indian Scout in the area!!)

To those that have never been all I can say is GO !!! All you need to know is how to spell refrickeratshun-- refregaratorion--reforgotartion -- an you'll fit right in. :D.

Don't be afraid to bring your Lady. The other wifes and girlfriends will take her right under their wings and they have as good if not better a time than the guys. (if that is possible)

The best part is that you are going to the convention in someone's hometown. So that means you get to see a spot in the world that you probably won't think of going without a reason. Like this year. Sounds like Paul has everything set up. Therefore there is no questions about what you are going to do when we get there.

One question of Paul. How come 2 motels? Is one the main one and the other the overflow one?? If so which one will be the main one. THE REASON I ASK IS THAT I DON'T WANT TO MISS THE FRIDAY NIGHT 'PARKING LOT PARTY' :D :D :D

[surenuff]

Sounds like fun, and I will see about coming. What kind of fishing are we doing? and what goes on at the convention? Is there any training, trade show kind of thing?

[refrtech]

NO it is not like a trade show !! It is a bunch of friends new and old that get together for a long weekend ,in a different city each year AND PARTY ALL WEEKEND !!!

At the time of posting neither motel would give us a rate before April 2010, so it’s still up in the air.

The Silver Sands is a nice hotel located on Southold Bay 1950’s style rooms. The problem is they reserve rooms for there past guests and we couldn’t get a guarantee of 15 or 20 rooms. We’ll know more in a few weeks.

The Sunset is located on Long Island Sound; if the Silver Sands can’t take everyone then this is the back up.

We’ll updated soon.

[pecmsg]

Sounds like fun, and I will see about coming. What kind of fishing are we doing? and what goes on at the convention? Is there any training, trade show kind of thing?

Once you go to the first you’ll keep coming back.

Fishing in August: Fluke / Summer Flounder (if NYS DEC doesn’t close the season), Blue fish, Stripe Bass / Rock Fish for certain members, Snappers / baby Blues (the kids like these), Porgies etc.

Training: How to open a beer at 8AM with Grace and Dignity 101?
How to be a Gruppy old bastard in 2 short days and 3 long nights! Final exam given Monday
The Trade Shows are in the evening, bring your waders the BS gets DEEP.

All kidding aside, I guarantee you’ll get a good understanding of how diverse our industry is and meet some of the best and brightest techs out there, and as Jerry said bring the better half they have fun also.

The 12’ inflatable.

I thought you were buying a camper for this trip?

[RoBoTeq]

A 12' inflattable? WOW! That's nearly 3 times as big as Dolly.

[Dowadudda]

The 12’ inflatable.

I thought you were buying a camper for this trip?

we have decided that a deck and more landscaping is our focus this year. I can not do both. As I was telling you we were looking at a camper this spring but were gonna wait until we can pay cash. I am trying to stay away from payments. Some great deals out there right now. All I can do is pray for a double dip recession so better deals can be had next spring. I am still sort of looking. And if the right deal came a long I would be more than happy to reach a little.

[fellowlucky]

HVAC-talk convention KS 2011!!!! We're getting google, so why not come here?

[RoBoTeq]

What's with these hotels? I can't get a per night cost or even a fixed reservation from them for nightly. I couldn't figure out what it was going to cost on their website so I requested they mail me their brochure and prices and they sent me copies of what is on the website.

[pecmsg]

There just gearing up for the season, Vicki stopped by the Sunset yesterday and will hit the Sound view today. I’ll let you know later this week.

[jbeaucham]

There are so many hotels in Downtown Baltimore especially close the Harbor. The hotels get more expensive the closer to the harbor. I live in Baltimore so it is nice to see the event come to town.

Hmmm..... this may be an option for us. Paul must be way out on LI then, correct?

I probably should use my computer and GPS and atlas and stuff. :D

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Okay I'm back from googling. The Ferry is the way google takes us to get there. That is going to be one pretty ride. Down thru Massachusetts and Conneticut across the Sound and you are there. 4 hours drive. SEE YA!!

Paul would it make sense for northerner's to take the Orient Ferry instead?

FYI: The Pt. Jeff Ferry is expensive, but saves a crapload of time. Check the schedule and pricing on the site beforehand.

Okay, I just talked to Betty.

I didn't get any future with her than Shaun did. :eek2: You diffinately have to send a check for the deposit. You must take the room for 3 nights. Thursday, Friday and Saturday. No exceptions.

She said that the traffic would be so bad on Friday that I would never be able to get the ferry. So we better figure on some day time activities on Friday DAY. :D.

Please be advised travel thru or Near NYC and then going East on Long Island on a Friday afternoon / evining is a NIGHTMARE. A normal 2 hour drive can take 4+ hours. Those coming from New England take the ferries. http://www.longislandferry.com/ or http://www.bpjferry.com/. Reservations can be made. Members from NJ or the NYC Metro area know the traffic so they know the problem.

Those flying into LI Macarthur plan on a 1 to 1-1/2 hour drive.



Paul lives in the sticks of LI, people are a little wierd where he's from LOL.

Define NORMAL
30+ people getting together over a few beers talking shop for 3+ days will fit right in Southold Town.

We are or I should say Queen Victoria is looking into that. As Chris said the locals are a little weird.



Hmmmm

With a true New England accent it couldn’t hurt. Hell the locals grew up rooting for the Boston Red Socks and the NE Patriots. Something to do with were closer to Boston then NYC.

Vicki has spoken with Betty and straightened it out. 3 night minimum, Thursday to Saturday or Friday to Sunday.
The reason for the check is they don’t want to keep the credit card charge for more then 30 days.

Count on seeing ME!
Should we pay at the door?

Driving home on Saturday night may be a problem but it’s your call. (3+hrs depending on traffic.)

I’ll be posting the pre-registration form in a few weeks.

Glad you can make it.

I was hoping you,d let me take the boat!

[pecmsg]

I just made our reservations for Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. Aren't we supposed to crash on a beach or something on Sunday?

Sunday afternoon / evening were going to the Beach House. We might stop by Claudios Clam Bar for some refreshments on the way over.

That works out great then. We get there late on Thursday so we are fresh for the Friday gathering and we leave the hotel on Sunday to finish clamming it up with a finale on the beach. I suddenly feel like I'm a teenager again.

I dont have a boat

I was thinking about coming on the new london ferry,I can plan that route

[Green Mountain]

Is this the boat that I want to take ?? http://www.easthampton.com/other/ferrys2.html

Greenport looks like it is down the road aways from were they drop you off.

Also BEWARE everyone. There are two GREENPORT NY's. One is in Columbia County up by me the other is in Suffix County. That's the one you want. What a screwed up State. just saying. :D

[pecmsg]

This is the closest Ferry from New England to Southold.
https://www.longislandferry.com/default.aspx

The other is the Bridgeport & Port Jefferson Steamboat Company.

Jerry I didn’t know about Greenport in Columbia County, good call. All those interested it’s the Village of Greenport, Suffolk County NY.

Lisa and I are hoping to be able to hang in there. The idiot handling our mortgage loan screwed things up so bad we had to get rid of him and now have to go through another lender because of his not understanding "commission with a guarrantee base". The minute I told the guy we were done doing business I got real urban on his butt. You'd think these people would be kissing our bottoms right now.

Anyway, our entire house purchase process has now been moved up to the end of July. Getting a little close for comfort.

Update

As the clock ticks down we’ve received a few inquiries concerning the hotel accommodations and agree the 3 night stays can be difficult in this economy. Unfortunately we have no control over this but there are other options.

For those interested click on the following link and search Bed & Breakfast for lodgings.

We finally settled on the house. This weekend was the move. So, it looks like we are going to be good to go. Just may look a little worse for wear and tear from having to move and working a new job all within a year of having a second heart attack.

Maybe Lisa is trying to kill me.

The house we are moving from is a 1700's era farmhouse. The one we are moving into is a 1950s brick bungalow with a drive up basement/garage. The new house is considerably smaller, but still unique enough to satisfy our Bohemian side.

No Stripers (Rockfish) but the weekend isn’t over yet.

Looking forward to seeing old friends and meeting new ones tomorrow night.

Lisa and I arrived around midnight. Scott and Liz were the only ones who stayed up to greet us. Just goes to show that it truly is quality that counts.

Every year we bring in new blood while weeding out the useless wastes of life. Looks like this year is the cream of the crop elite. Still, we do have fun watching the riff raff too, so we need to make sure next year we go for quantity as well as a little quality.

[pecmsg]

Glad you arrived safe and sound. Sorry we couldn’t stick around. Enjoy the morning view. We’ll see you in a few hours.

[phbsales]

Wish I could have made it this year. Y'all be careful, have a great time, and I'll see you in Pittsburgh in March.......

I dunno. After a soothing night's sleep to the sound of the surf outside our window and waking to an amazing view across the sound, going back to the Pitts burgh may be a let down.

Wow. What a weekend. Paul and Vicki and JULIA and CHRIS all went out of thier ways to make sure we had a great time. And a great time we had.

I knew it was going to be fun when I discovered the Long Island Ferry has a bar on board. It was like a mini-cruise crossing the Sound. :D.

I hope to have some pics up tomorrow.

The back rubs are the best. I just wish I wasn't so sensitive that I can't get the full benefits of a back rub. I can be enjoying the heck out of a back rub and then all of sudden I become super sensitive and ticklish and can't stand to be touched any longer.

After hanging out at the beach house this week were back in Southold today waiting on EARL.

I would be a bad parent if I didn’t thank:

Julie for being such a great Hostess and helping in the design of the shirts.

Chris for a wonderful meal

And mostly my wife of 33 years for making all the arrangements and preparations. Words cannot express thanks enough for the hours she put in.

It was great seeing old friends and meeting new ones. Thanks again to everyone, glad you all had a good time.

Paul and Vicki,

It was a GREAT time. It was nice meeting your Mom. Your kids are awesome. That Julie--God bless ya.:D
