However Steve, I don't think that I will be able to make your bbq tonight. Sorry to cancel out last minute. Wife's got a baby doc. appointment tonight after work that she just reminded me about. I even asked her what could be more important the meeting the Z guys for a bbq? She used the 13hours of labor card to trump me. Go figure!

We still up for Caribou at 7:30am tomorrow? Here's my number 763-370-2752 if you need it.

IIRC, we have a reservation at a restaurant in Winona. So at least we have something to drive to and chill out, warm up, and take some pics between here and there. I'm really looking forward to this cruise. w00t!

I like it! Those sweet sugar rides always seem to melt in the rain!

AM showers, and it looks like the rest of the day will be just cloudy and windy.
Temp of 53. 30% chance of precip.

I'm looking forward to finally being able to see a Supra up close for the first time!

Steve, I'm not too sure that I'll make it tonight.
According to this radar shot: http://www.weather.com/outlook/trave...MapLayer=radar

I'd have to drive through the heavy stuff.

By tomorrow morning, the heavy stuff should have gone over my area, and as long as the roads retained their heat, they should be clear and just a little wet. So far, it's looking like tomorrow morning is my best bet.

I will keep an eye out to see how it's progressed by 5:00 this evening, and if it looks relatively clear, I'll head out and give you a call when I'm near the cities.

Was looking forward to the bbq, but I don't want to take chances.


Winona should be clear by tomorrow morning as well.

It's closer to 100. Right across the street from the Brookdale mall in the same parking lot as the Burger King and Blockbuster. I can meet up with you somewhere else if that works better too???

Steve I should be leaving here in about 30 mins or so which should put me in the area around 6 - 7. I'll probably get lost like I did for the Wings and wheels meet last year but I'll give you a call if I have any problems. Its lightly snowing here but its actually easier to drive in than the pouring rain we had all morning! I don't care what the weather is like it'll be fun anyways. It can be thought of as the year opening meet and greet!
