May 26th, HB555 and I are going to get together at McClellan and browse the planes.  I haven't seen HB555 in person for quite a few years now, and it's a good excuse :)

Anyone in the Sacramento Region want to spend a few hours looking at old planes?  They will have flights available as well.

Headed my way is an understatement, they are exactly 1 block behind me :)

At this particular moment.   They keep bouncing around this area, have been here since yesterday.  They need to get out of here, they are going to get hungry.  People think they are in the river, but actually in the deep water channel.  There is a net blocking their access to the turning basin, that large wide spot after the bend.

Pretty kewl :)  My daughter and I were on the levee this morning looking for them, they are sneaky, hiding lol  didn't think you could hide a whale  did you!

Going to ride our bikes on the levee this afternoon and try and get pictures.

The're here. We've had 4 news helipcoptors over our shop allday. The whales are a stones throw away from me right now I'd guess.


... Just noticed.  Roc and I are pretty close. I'm right below the green arrow  , below the "o" of Sacramento near the water.

Daddog, that would be Great :)

Sunking, my office is just south of Industrial on Enterprise :)  I thought you might be at the Port, but looked closer at the map lol  You might be :)  If so, tell Buddy Linker Hi for me.  Of course, he won't know who the heck ROC is.

I'm right across from the docks behind the Fire Dept.
Know where the old Tower Records Warehouse was?

Let me run this one by the wife.  I fear the worst...

"You want to drive where to meet those dorks you play that stupid game with?!?!"

who knows...maybe she'll be happy to get me out of the house.

Well dang...they're going to be right by my work today through the 22nd (Moffett field, I'm in Palo Alto).


Hmmm.

Anyone from around Bay Area want to go check them out?  They'll be flying up to Livermore I guess on the 22nd...

Tell the Mrs. there is a Brand New Ikea store here in West Sacramento that you just HAVE to go check out!  While you're here, you can lose her in the store, slip away for a few beers, and head back in time to "find" her.

Ya, I know there's an Ikea around Palo Alta, but hey, this ones NEW :D
