    Next SubRonLA Group Run?

    Guys,

    Some food for thought: Will Oudmayer tells me he will be back from his current vacation trip as of August 3rd, and looks forward to a Saturday sub run in Yorba Park as soon as possible after that—meaning, I suppose, August 9th. I know I personally already have commitments on that and the following two Saturdays, so I'm out as a participant until at least August 30th should anyone want to put off our next group outing that long. If not, I'd encourage any or all of you to join Will on the 9th (or any other Saturday of your mutual choosing) and I'll join you in spirit if nothing else—or perhaps swing by for quick hellos before or after my other obligations. So have at choosing an agreeable date right here in this message thread if you like.

    I hereby also remind all of you that the annual Fall Fun Run in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park casting ponds is now officially scheduled for September 20 and 21—early this year, thankfully. I'm planning to attend as always, and look forward to seeing as many of you there as possible. It remains, all things considered, the very best sub-running venue I've ever experienced.

    Good Luck and Good Hunting,
    JeffP

    August will be a mess for me.
    I have several appointments over the month at the VA hospital.
    Been waiting since Feb for appointments, so I don't plan to miss any of them.
    Nothing I am worried about.
    Mostly routine maintenance.
    Every year or two I have spots removed from my back.
    Always benign but there is no reason to take any chances.
    Just get them removed.

    I don't know what days I will have to go in until after the first appointment.
    Then they could be weeks apart or daily for a couple of weeks.

    I have a circle on the date just in case I can make it and will try to keep up with any changes.

        Location Yorba Linda Park

        In the cove between the large pavilion and the two orange shade covers there is a small dock.

            Go for it, guys! Whoever manages to show, I hope you have a great time! Other gatherings of the SubRonLA faithful will of course be taking place at that site in the future...

              Well before the end of the year gets here would be nice boys! I am on Baby alert between now and the middle of Nov. but still it could work out. Mary is about to become a grandmother.

              I have the R2 and Nautilus to get a run on. I'd bring the 1/32 VIIC too if I had the room.

              Lets start some dialogue.

              All the best,

              Steve

                Hey Steve,

                I know my next few weekends are already booked up, and I've got some SanFran-related repairs to make on both Blueback AND Seaview before I'm back in the water. Sometime in November thus sounds pretty good to me. But hey, Will O. and Darrin are always ready to run. Maybe they'd join you sooner... Guys—?

                  Okay, here we go: what would you guys say to a group run at Anaheim's Yorba Park on Saturday, April 25th? That's about a month from now—plenty of time to make plans, clear schedules and prep boats. (This means you, Steve Neill—no excuses this year! ) Also, it's a year almost to the day since we had our last large-group Fun Run at the same locale...I'd say we're way overdue.

                  So who's in? WIll? Neil? Steve? Darrin? Ralph? Alan? Sound off! And what about Mike Dory and SubRon7 Commodore Tom Chalfant? You guys made it last year too...!

                  I know I've been starting to prep for a run; Blueback and Seaview have both now had their damage from San Francisco last fall repaired. And just a couple weekends ago, buddy Neil Schmidt and I had Seaview in his pool for a major re-trimming job. Had her running perhaps better than ever by the end of the day. Here are a couple of photos.

                  Ready for your closeups?

                    I have not been working on my Skipjack.
                    Painting and getting house ready to sell.
                    This project is going to take some time.
                    Not days but months.
                    So, I think I will take a day here and there and see if I can get the Skipjack operational even if it's just the basic controls.
                    I can always do the extras later.
                    And not dependent on whether the Skipjack is ready, I have marked my calendar.
                    Provided I don't do something stupid and get hurt, I will be there.

                        It's marked on my iPad calendar which sets it in stone. Done deal. I have room for two subs. The Nautilus that has never had a lake run and the R class. No room for the big type 7.

                        if I brought that it would be the only sub I could bring. Next run I'll bring it.

                        Thanks Jeff for getting this together. Can you post coordinates for GPS?

                        Last man down and all hatches closed,
                        Steve

                          Way to go, Steve! Thanks for the thumb's up!

                          I'll post time and directions and stuff later on.

                          Everybody put in your orders for clear water!

                          Later,

                            Mary'll join us too, right? And just FYI, it's a dog-friendly park...
