Eddie, what do you do after the launch? Do you just turn around and drive 2.5 hours home? Please supply more info. Thanks

Good question chelsea, just thought anyone interested could put our heads together and plan pre and post launch activities.
Maybe dinner and drinks?

What a great idea! Count me in.

BTW -- I have a really good portable gas grill we can take for bbqing either pre- or post-launch. I'll also volunteer to make one salad (either pasta or potato).

Next?
