Hi All.....It was great to meet some of you at Nerac! It was a great time, especially for those of us that are well, already obsessed with learning more. See Eric, one less brainwashing procedure needed!

When and where is your next meeting?

Thanks!

The next meeting will be on April 21st (friday) at 7pm at Kings Park High School. We'll be visiting Rob Gelling, a very dedicated teacher who set up one of the grant money tanks at his school. He has a room with a variety of tanks he uses in his educational programs and he'll also have a short presentation on his programs.

We'll have some time to check out the classroom, trade/sell frags, hang out and talk as well, like the old days Larry ;)

The school is not far from Sunken Meadow Parkway on route 25A.

Eric I mailed you my dues (or whoever get the mail in Commack) for Lira so see you guys there. It sounds like a cool meeting (I guess since it will be on public school property no "partying" for Mike's B'day :(

My father always told me if you are going to drink, drink quality stuff. My father would be proud! But does that make sci and me brothers? Hope not!

I intend to be there. The Friday night meetings are difficult for me, but I'll do my best to make it. Maybe a few beers after the meeting too??

i work in that town. actually my post office is right across the street. i cn give easy directions if you guys need them. also the fact that the high school is only 2 miles from my house is awesome.

there a bunch of bars in town not to far from the high school. the local bars are not bad either quite on friday nights there. full of townies.

if anyone is doing the map quest thing the address is 200 east main street, kings park, 11754.

I'm still trying to recover my voice from yelling over the band at Digger's last weekend. Can we pick a quiet local gin mill for this outing?
Ray, if I take the Sag into the Sunken Meadow, and get off at 25A, do I go east, or west to get to the school?

Larry and everyone else....

Once you get off Sunken Meadow you're going to head east on 25A. After you get off the parkway the road merges to one lane, about a mile up you'll reach the fire dept. on your right. Another mile up the road does a dip; you'll see the post office on the left and the school is on the right about 100 yards up. The entrance to the school is before the light (Lawrence Rd.), that lot is a one way so if you miss it make a right at the light and there will be a larger parking lot behind the school.

Larry, I want to go to where that leprachaun looking dude with the top hat at diggers is going. Did you get a load of him, the short guy from "southern" Ireland

like joe said. or i go down to the pulaski rd exit. which is the second to last exit.

if you miss the indian head rd exit don't freak out just take the pulaski rd exit towards kings park. its the second to last exit before you hit sunken meadow park. when you get off the exit follow the road to the second light and make a right. that is main street. take main street down about a mile or two the school will come up on your right hand side.

there are two exits off of sunken meadow parkway that will take you to kings park.

there is a watering hole that is on the way back to sunken meadow parkway through town called union square. nice quiet little place filled with locals. not many kids in there. usually where all the mail man go after work on friday for a beer.

Man I miss Kings Park, Spent a lot of pay drinking in those "Townie" joints. Made a lot of 1/4 mile illegal street race passes on Indian Head Rd, North of the water tower:D Come to think we also used to race on Vets Highway. heading east starting at the post office. Boy it's a wonder I'm still alive!!

I guess you don't drag race on your local streets anymore?

Tampa Aquarium Service

04/06/2006, 10:06 PM

Nope, actually turned that activity into a successful Drag Race Chassis building business from 1980-2001. But that was another life. Now I'm here in sunny Tampa with a hugely successful aquarium maintenance , sales, and service bizz. No stress and lots of great people to see from day to day. As for the street racing...There are plans for a Blown ProMod style, Carbon fiber bodied 57 Chevy in the works, And yes it will have plates and mufflers :D

04/21/2006, 04:40 AM

mk,

take exit 45 off the northern state parkway. thats the sunken meadow exit. take sunken meadow down to the second to last exit before the park. it will say kings park pulaski rd. take pualaski rd down about two miles and make a right at the third traffic light. that will be main street. go down main street about 2-3 miles you will pass the post office on your left and right after that the kings park high school will be on your right.

if you miss the first entrance into the school you can make the right at the light ( lawrence rd) there is additional parking in the back of the school.

Glad to hear that, Harry. I was just saying last month that we needed a Podiatrist in our ranks! :D
In all honesty, I saw a lot of new faces last night. Had I met the people behind all of them, I would forget everyone's name. I'm the type that needs to meet new people slowly. I'll catch up with all the new members in a month or two.
