Location: Rocky River, Ohio | Hey guys....I know it's WAY early, but the powers that be here at the workplace are falling over themselves trying to figure out next year's vacation already....
I remember early on there was discussion that perhaps in 2006 the tour would be held earlier like in April...
Any ideas on at least which month? I figure if I knew at least the month, I could book all the friday's...
thanks in advance..

Rumors at the time had it earlier than mid-June to avoid the Fathers Day / graduation things, but later than mid-March to get some better weather. |

Say it and it will be true! |

Location: NJ | getting the tour together is much work. Coordinating everyone and everything is not an easy task. If you remember I have to revert back to my old school teaching days and herd folks along like I did my former students. Currently I am in the middle of building a garage and studio and very stressed out. I will make the tour happen but how about we get past the next few months and the holidays and look towards jan as a projected date to get it all together???

Location: Rocky River, Ohio | I'm sorry if I stressed anyone out, it's just that I work in a department that is very understaffed and will be for 2006. Getting short notice vacation time is a difficult task. They prefer having the entire year's vacation scheduled by the end of January.
Co-workers are already claiming days in the late spring and I didn't want to miss a chance to attend next year's tour.
That's all. |

Location: Fayetteville, NC | Don't Sweat It Erniewan. We asked the same thing at around the same time after the 2004 tour. Everyone had such a great time and it was such fun that everyone was ready to hear about the next one. Al will let everyone know in probably mid to late January, Possibly Febuary when He has some details to give.
In otherwords...relax man..it's all good. :) |

Actually, I'm in charge of the laboratory that tests the material before it's allowed to ship..
We just happen to be very understaffed...

Location: closely held secret | Thank you, Al. Don't listen to Weasy, we do appreciate you more than that. I know it's a lot of work and time organizing things like this, with little reward.
So some of us say, with appreciation, THANKS! for all you do. |

I'd hate to wear out my welcome before I even got there (although if I had a nickel for every time THAT'S happened...).
Thanks in advance for '06 (assuming, of course, that I'm going to be allowed in) and the next time I'm in line for a new git, rest assured, you will be contacted. |
