York Pre-Meet Breakfast October 20, 2022

I'll be there!!!

My daughter and I will be sitting close to your group.

Count me in, I'll be there.

Peter, Thanks for the invite. I plan on attending.       Bill Park

Thank you Peter! I will be there and look forward to it.

Gerry

Provided that one of my local train buddies and I get off to an early enough start (we are about 4 hours away by car), I hope to show up with him at the breakfast by 9 AM that day. Arnold

Peter,

Thanks for organizing this.    My wife Deanna will be joining me for this upcoming York traincation.  We are traveling during the overnight with a ETA at the diner by 7am.    Looking forward to meeting current and new friends.

Put me down on the list. I'm also planning on attending the standards committee meeting, so my ETA is approximately 7am. I look forward to meeting all of you!

I will be there!

@jdstucks - you comin’ too??

Never been to it, and will be staying at the Sheridan Four Points, so will make sure to be there!

Peter, you will be in the company of the greatest group of guys and be sure to discuss trains the whole time at breakfast(between drinking coffee or tea and whatever you decide to eat).

The earlier you get there, the better choice of seating you will have. Peter(Putnam Division) always makes sure to greet everyone that is there, talk a little bit about yourself, your interest, all the good things. You will definitely have a hearty breakfast for sure.

The staff already know what to expect, and will be ready to make sure you have all you need to drink, and eat. If you have never had breakfast at the Round The Clock Diner, you can look it up on the web. Needless to say, they should have anything you want.

@Putnam Division, unfortunately Peter, I won't be there this year which most already knew. My dang car ran up quite a bit of money this year so it canned all my traveling plans for this year and then some. The most recent issue thank God is under warranty so I won't be paying a dime. I'll put aside money in hopes of next. Thing is, maybe it is time for a new car. Oh boy. Car over trains, not unless it is a big have to. Have a great time all, make sure you have enough money for all you need and be sure to eat great.

@PeterA, see about the OGR meet Thursday night at Quaker Steak and Lube. There will probably be a posting(or mention here) pretty soon on the forum as well. Great place to unwind and talk about the deals you got or even missed. Have fun.

I will be there too! Half asleep, but I'll be there!

I'm not sure if I'll be able to get into town early but will definitely be at Quaker Steak and Lube for dinner!

No worries, I can provide Thursday AM "wake-up calls".    

Looking at your zip code, I figure an 0330 call will get you here in plenty of time.

Peter

Peter and all, see you there if not sooner.

Peter:

I will be there. Carolyn will not be attending this time, as she will be assisting our daughter Karen with the preparations for our grandson Declan's 6th Birthday party.

Pat

See you there!

Quaker Steak and Lube

Looks like someone made an inquiry about Quaker Steak and Lube, might as well use that topic for it instead of starting a new one bogging the forum down, eh?

@Putnam Division

Peter, I linked this topic over on the Quaker Steak and Lube topic as well.

Count me in too.  Looking forward to seeing old friends,  Phil

I sure wish I could be there, but my work schedule this time of year won't allow for it. Have a great time, everyone!

Your post made me chuckle out loud!  It's actually an early morning work call that would interfere, not be getting out of bed.  Now through January is my busiest time of year.  And a 0400 wake-up call would suffice.

Wonderful! Safe travels from “up north”!

Please include me for one.

Round The Clock Website/Menu

Just in case anyone wanted to see the website/menu that hasn't been there.

It's October and I have positively confirmed the seasonal availability of Pumpkin Pecan pancakes!!!!!

Never had those, I guess I'll have to wait until next year though. I'll have to remind myself.

Just cleared my schedule and I will be heading to the York show. See you at the diner folks!

Looks like we have about 30 so far........thre is no time limit on when to sign up.....still taking names.....come that morning unannounced if you decide last minute......I have a reasonable number to give the Diner so they know what to expect.

Peter

I'll be there, I hope!

Peter,

You can add one more to the list.

Steve T

Hi Peter,

Please add me to the list!

Myself, @TRAINMANTIM, and one other will be there. So put us down for 3 people!

Excellent!

Peter

I'll be leaving at 4 AM Thursday morning from Northern Westchester County, NY, so I hope to arrive at the diner between 8 and 9 AM, depending on traffic.

Arnold

I bop out around 5:30-5:45, and it's a 1:40 hour trip for me, so I should be there by around 7:30 or so.  I'm spoiled by living close to York.

Greg is making excuses, he lives right around the corner from me!  He needs to get his butt out of bed and on the road.

Unlike you men of leisure I still have to toil away to eek out a living which allows me a small modicum of participation in the hobby!!!

Trust me, not being there has nothing to do with getting out of bed and everything to do with fact AEP just kicked off for Medicare and thus begins the busiest part of my work year...lol

And now I need to leave early Friday afternoon as I have an event to attend at 1 Citizens Bank Way but at least I still get to hang with folks Thursday night and spend 10 hrs wandering the halls!

I still work as well but I can't make it. If I could, I'd be right there bright and early with my good buddies.

Sorry, that doesn't preclude a 5AM awakening Greg, you can't explain your way out of this!   Suck it up and come to breakfast!

Heck Arnold, that is a drive. Wherever your worst traffic areas are, make sure you are getting around them at the worst time. Heck, if you could get up a bit earlier, maybe 3:30 to avoid those areas, it would well be worth it. I don't know what the drive is like, but I do remember when I was a kid my father would get us up way before the sun rose for those really long trips like going to Maine and Massachusetts.

“Men of leisure”??? I beg your pardon!!! Retirement, like growing old, ain’t for the faint of heart

It looks like my wife and I will be able to make it this year.

Wow! I think we may hit 36 plus.........the more, the merrier!

I will update our reservation in the AM.

Peter

Peter,

Regret that I can't be there.

Safe travels, everyone!

Peter

I've had my cup of coffee, wish I had pancakes, eggs and a bagel to go with it. Instead, cereal. Have fun fellows.

Sorry I was unable to make it this time.  I sure wish this work thing wouldn’t conflict with trains.  I hope you all have a great time and hope to see you all in October.

Bill

Me too. I really wish I could be there. I hope you guys have it again in April.

Sorry, I meant say I hope to see all of you in April.
