SPS group buy road trip to Dr. Mac's in MD ?

[Dan Fagan]

OK. Here is the deal.

We have set a date of May 19 (Thursday). Saturday is open to retail so if we go then, there are the walk-ins to deal with. I will confirm with Dr. Mac that we can come on that day but they said earlier it should not be a problem given enough notice.

Reefsurge are you in to drive that day ? Sam has said he is in to drive.

If we get enough people confirmed to go that day, I will confirm with Dr. Mac.

Oh yeah as far as any discounts on the group buy and shipments, PM me if you want to know. Not as big a discount as I had hoped but it is still great to get.

[skinpuppi]

Count me in!! What time do you plan on us leaving? Where is the best place to meet up?

[Dan Fagan]

Thats up to the drivers but I think as early as possible without getting ridiculous. Depending on who rides with who, I think its appropriate to make it as convenient for thos driving as possible.

So thats 3 confirmed so far.

[ReefSurge]

I'll be driving that day. I think we should leave by at least 7am.

I need to get a count of how many are coming and who will need a ride. I live in Danbury, so I would like those that ride with me to meet around Brewster/Danbury line. I will confirm exact location later on, but I believe there is a convenient commuter lot right off I84 that would work out great.

FYI I can only seat 6.

One traveler so far: rocktigod


Thanks
Serg

So far reefsurge and Sam are driving with a total of 4 confirming they are in for the trip.

I think the fair thing would be for all the riders splitting gas and tolls equally (those buying but not making trip pay an equal share). Sam and Reefsurge should not have to pay since its their vehicles we are using. Feel free to disagree or propose something else. This is just what I thought would be fair.

Update:

Traveling with Reefsurge:

Sam, I think I live closer to you (Plus ya gotta come this way anyways) so maybe I'll try to ride w/ you if thats OK.

Will be out all day today so may not get to call Dr. Mac today to check the 19th with them. Will keep everone in the loop.

[ez1ez]

Dan I can pick you up on my way through.

[ez1ez]

I have 1 reefrocker going with me... so thats 2 in my car so far..

[skinpuppi]

Sam please add me to your list.

Thanks,
Rob

[ez1ez]

that makes 3 in my ford explorer

[Dan Fagan]

So that looks like it. I assume everyone who is interested has expressed their intent. The Magnificent 7.

Not sure about Nick (SI) and Sora (LI). I think its up to the drivers regarding pickup/ meeting somewhere on the way.

We are penciled in at Dr. Mac's on the 19th bit we have to call them a few days ahead to remind them we are coming and give them a time, so someone please remind me...

Yes.

[mcox33]

those people driving don't forget to leave room for coral boxes and you might check with your LFS about styrofoam boxes or coolers should be cheaper than buying their boxes especially if you can pick them up from local store for free. and don;t forget to invite your lfs to get in on the group buy. Might get you wholesale pricing plus cherrypicking.

im out. i have a nice large styro if anyone needs it , im in middletown/cromwell

[ReefSurge]

I don't see the need for two vehicles if that's all we are getting for interested folks. Two in mine, is truly a waste of wear and tear on my truck and not fair especially since they will have to pay for the gas.

Last call for any that are still interested, or I will part with driving responsibility and hopefully find room with Sam.

[nyfireman3097]

i would have to be picked up and also have to wait till the 14 th to know if i will be off
Nick

[ez1ez]

I have dan,vinny,rob,alain in my car. yes it would be great to get a store to go down with us or make an order and we can pick it up for them... Im hoping on more people signing up for the ride as the time nears...

[ez1ez]

if anyone else wants to go contact reefsurge to set up meeting place and time..

[tsquad]

Man I would so ditch school for this. Also if I had money that would help too

I definitely want to see pics of everyones stuff though, so don't forget

[ReefSurge]

Sorry folks...I will not be driving this thing. Not that many interested reefers....too bad, I was really looking forward to checking this place out. Anyway to those that were planning on driving with me, I apologize and wish it would of worked out better. Dan...maybe we should get some numbers of people interested before we go out making permanent travel dates;next time!

Maybe someone can pick out something nice for me, LOL.

[Shoestring Reefer]

I think Rob was interested.

Good suggestion, Serg. I just put the date out there and anyone interested on that date just went with it. This is a really informal thing. Anyone can go there anytime. If someone (or group) preferred a different date, they certainly did not suggest it to me or this board . I was open to any date really.

[skinpuppi]

Dan,
I got another nice colored mille that I will have to bring you a frag of.
