Duck eggs!

One one hand I like the idea of opening my doors, gives me a target to get some things in order. But then I think, who wants to see a bunch of in process projects?

Ummm, isn't "in process projects" about 90% of Dorkiphus?

Personally, I think that when projects are in progress is the best time to visit!

Ok, updated list:

MD Tour:
ducatithunder: Annapolis, MD
John Hallen: Brookeville, MD
cmartin: Pasadena, MD


VA Tour:
jhsmith: Mclean, VA
Shifted: Lovettsville, VA
Vicegrip: Woodstock, VA


I propose the following:

VA Tour: June 3rd
-1st stop: jhsmith in McLean, VA (9am to 10am)
-2nd stop: Shifted in Lovettsville, VA (11am to 12pm)
-3rd stop: Vicegrip in Woodstop, VA (2pm to 3pm)

Is that realistic? With lunch in between the 2nd the 3rd stops?

I'm just throwing the plan out there, but it's just a starting point. What do you guys think?


I'm happy to host lunch at my place if that would work better, or skip my place, or whatever.

My preference is that we exchange specific addresses over emails or private messages, since the forum can be viewed by non-members.



And then:

MD Tour: August 3rd (or July 15th, what's your preference)
-1st stop: John Hallen in Brookeville, MD (9am to 10am)
-2nd stop: cmartin in Pasadena, MD (10:30am to 11:30am)
-3rd stop: ducatithunder in Annapolis, MD (2pm to 3pm)

I have a 1970 911 in the shop in the “put it back together phase” Also known as “Where the fark is this or that?” phase.

This should help you all find the place.

I recognise that from the air, sprayed couple thousand acres around there in the 90s.

There's been no response to my proposal, nor a suggestion for a different plan. So, I assume that it's not happening.
