  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

OK folks, October seems to be good for just about everyone and it's a great time to be in Tampa...not to mention the best month of the year since it's my birth month.:headroll:

So, please select which weekend is best for you. If it truly doesn't matter, there's an option for that as well. This isn't a commitment at this point, so even if you aren't sure you can make it, but you KNOW you could only make it on a specific weekend, go ahead and vote. But please, if you have no intention of making it, obviously, do not vote.

Jason, I could request off either up to three months in advance. Why not time it the weekend of the Ybor cigar festival in November...that would be sweet.

Well boys, I'm definately making an appearance at this one!!!!! Mrs. Tuba opted for a trip to Disney instead of a graduation party for her doctorate, and she gave me the ok to spend Saturday afternoon and early evening with you guys.

Now I have to work out how I'm getting over there as I won't have a car. Any ideas?

Voted for Oct. 19-21, that's the weekend we are booking the trip for.

Amtrack has train service between orlando and tampa. Looks like it will only cost you $12.

I took the train from tampa to miami last time I was down there and it was a nice ride. Beats taking the bus.


I think I am going to try and plan a trip down to florida once the date is chosen. Will hit up family in Tampa and Naples.

Looking like the original weekend is the one we will be sticking with, but I'll give this some time.

Kevin, there are folks coming in from Orlando who might be able to help in getting you here. We'll figure something out, I'm just glad to hear we'll finally get to meet!

Kevin,

I will probably drive out Saturday morning I could pick you up and we could head out there together. What time am I coming home is the question, I dont know that one yet. But no worries man you got a spot in my truck if you want it.

It is only about an hour drive from Tampa to Mickey Mouse land, I have no problem getting you back to where dreams come true Saturday night. No worries bro.
