Sadly, I may have to miss this one Aaron.
 
I broke my foot & arm this past weekend. Will be laid up for at least six weeks, which is right about the meet date. I'll see how I am the week before.

revolink24,
 
When you catch your train to Grand Central or better yet Penn Station, please know that It is only a 22 minute ride on the LIRR, and from there you can catch a 3 minute cab ride to the meet. I would offer to pick you up, but the host is always in the middle of insanity and putting out fires.
For my job, I travel back and forth to Rochester every couple of weeks (usually fly, and then get stuck overnight because of the snow, but being a 21 year Xerox veteran, I can say that I love that city (although it's too damn cold from October until May). There's an old joke about Rochester, and that is, there are 2 seasons in Rochester. August and winter 

 .

Thanks for the suggestions!

The joke about two seasons in Rochester is definitely true. But when it is nice here, it's extremely nice.

Wow, that really sucks, Jimmy. I hope you get better soon. 
 
Remember what Yogi says, "The bedroom is safer than in the woods".

Jimmy, that's lousy! sorry to hear it man. hope you're feeling better soon and that you're able to join us. was this a result of shoveling ice? it's been a tough winter!

thanks for the sympathies & well-wishes guys.
 
I fell off my parent's roof after removing the snow. my own fault. I got complacent, forgot safety at the very end, & paid the price.

 

[Listens2tubes]

WHOA! You fell off the roof!

 And you only broke a foot and an arm. Lucky.

 

[Listens2tubes]

After looking at directions: I'm in. Somtime after 2pm, unless I can bug out off work early.

 

[El_Doug]

DAMN DUDE!  Hope you recuperate soon

Sorry to hear this Jimmy,
  Listen to a lot of music while you heal.
    But what the hell where you thinking going on a roof  with snow on it.

Unless you have a flat roof you need to clear, just look at what happened to jimmy let mother nature take care of the snow

All's fun and games until the roof collapses.

 i was very cautious.
