I will meet up for breakfast with you. If it is lousy weather my car stays in the garage anyway. We will have to decide Sat. night to give everyone enough time. Stan you can call me when you ge tclose to exit 20 on Rt. 2. I can meet you there and take you the rest of the way.

 

would like to attend, but it looks like a bad weather day, and we don't play in the rain.
We'll see how the weekend developes

 

Looks like everyone is of the same mind when it comes to bad weather and our cars. If it's any consolation, the weather reports I am hearing suggest that it's going to be nice on Sunday. We'll see.

Please look for a new thread about a GTG with some nice folks from Canada who want to spend a day with us, around Kittery of somewhere thereabouts. Could be a little south of there in New Hampshire. Open to ideas.
Rick

Too far north for 7:00AM.....see you next time closer to CT.

 

Not sure where in CT you are, but you could meet up with Rick in RI on the way up of you wanted to. Stan

 

Where at???

 

7:00 to early! I leave my house at 5:30, 6:00 to meet up with you guys.
No problem if you don't make it.

 

Bluecross,
You'll have to setup a meeting place with Crossfire Trail. Send him a PM.

Nightrider, Are you going tomorrow?
Stan

 

I can meet you at the Cracker Barrel Off of Route 95 N at 6:45 and we can hightail it out from there and get to Wrentham on schedule.
Rick

 

Well I PM'ed bluecross along with both my phone numbers. I guess that he's not on board, I'll see you guys at 7:30 as planned.
Rick

 

Weather here is looking good for the morning. Have a safe commute, see you all here around 9ish. I'm off to gas up and clean the car.

 

Thanks for hosting us Phil! The weather turned out to be nice and warm! We got to see some really nice cars! I am sure Rick will post some of his pics. We made it home without any issues. In fact, we were cruising about 90-95 behind an Environmental Police Officer on 190 without any issues! Fun. So I guess we got our police escort for a while. Stan

 

Watch out for the "fish cops"! I'm pretty sure they have Chapter 90 powers and could write you a ticket that could cost you many "clams".

 

Bob,
Ya, I believe they are federal officer's, right? Anyhow, if he had given any sign of not liking us following, like a flash of the brake lights or something, I would have backed off immediately. I think he enjoyed the company! He was definitely clearing the lane of slow people, if you know what I mean. If you consider left lane drivers slow.
I'm sure you know, some troopers fly down the highway and like to push others out of the way. I used to spend 6 hours a day on the roads in New England. Seen it a hundred times, flying down the lane, no lights, just jump on someone's a$$ until they finally move over and then give them a dirty look as they pass them. There has been a few times when I would be right behind them.
Anyhow, are you ever gonna join us on a cruise again?
Stan

 

The Environmental Police aka "fish cops" are employees of the Commonwealth. Their main focus is recreational vehicles, snow mobiles, jet skis, boats, and they enforce rules and regulations regarding shellfish, lobsters, and fish in general. They can also write citations for traffic offenses.

Yes, you'll see alot of high-speed Troopers out there. Most of it comes from too few people to cover large areas. The average patrol area is usually 50-60 miles. The commute to work can be 60-90 minutes one way. My advice to all is never pass a cruiser doing the speed limit or above, get out of their way when you see them coming, and don't follow a speeding cruiser where he or she can look in their rear view mirror and put a clock on you.

My Crossfire has only traveled about 500 miles this year. We were seriously tied up looking for our new boat, and now that we have it, we use it. Will I participate in another Crossfire Cruise? Absolutely, once the boating season comes to an end. The boat is a big investment compared to a motor vehicle. My Crossfire costs a lot less to fill up, usually $20-$30, compared to filling the boat at an average cost of $500-$600 for a trip to Block Island and back. Boating is a family thing with us. A two-seater car doesn't allow a heck of a lot of room for family.

Hopefully, I'll see you guys sometime this fall before you go into hibernation.

 

Someone had told me once that they were Fedreal employees. Hmmm..

$500 or $600 to Block Island?! What did you buy a 50ft speed boat or something with twin 454's? You should post a pick so we can see what your other obsession is. I have owned boats in the past, so I know how time consuming and money consuming they are!

Sail on caption !!
Stan

 

Bob,
Now I see what you've been doing! I just peeked into your gallery and saw all those amazing light house photos. No pic of your boat though. Didn't know you were a light house lover or aspiring photgrapher. Well done big guy!!
Stan
