Get Together 26

[Chris Savage]

The church will be open for setup tomorrow night. @granz, @Chris Savage and @Jim Fouch, do you when you'll be here so I can help out?

Valerie and I will be arriving in Meadville in the late evening, so we'll be checking into our hotel and trying to get some sleep before Saturday. I am working tomorrow, then have to pick up my car from the dealership (not driving this stupid rental to PA!), then come home to get her and head out and she has to babysit two of our grandkids. It will be a long day for us tomorrow.

Thx. We'll do setup Saturday morning then.

There is some construction going on rt 19 which has snarled up traffic along the road that Quality Inn is on it may affect you if you come in before 5 tomorrow.

@granz DO NOT take the exit before Meadville to take 19 north. That is where the biggest mess is. It goes right past my house but I have another way into town. I'll probably pick up a variety pack of chips, water and a 12 pack of diet Pepsi and diet 7-UP and since granz was gracious last year to donate the paper products  to my churchwe'll just use some of the church's supply.

I'll be sure to be at the church 9 AM Saturday. I'll need an hour to prepare the communion elements for Sunday since it is my month to do it.

Looking forward to seeing you all.

I'm thinking Terry and I will be there whenever we can start setting up on Saturday. I will not be brining anywhere near as much as I did last year. Mostly just some projects I'm working on. I have several older PC's / Laptops I'm looking to unload, but don't think there will be a market for them. I do have some old Parallax stuff and maybe some of the Professional Dev boards I may want to sell if anyone is interested.

What time can we show up on Saturday to setup?

[MicroNut]

@Jim Fouch 9 AM-12PM

[granz]

@MicroNut what time will you be at the church today (Friday,) for setup?

[MicroNut]

I can be what time?

I would like prayers for tomorrow. The last two days my allergies have been bad. I get up in the morning I'm doing well. In fact I've gone out to Pittsburgh yesterday and went shopping today. But by afternoon it gets so bad that I can barely drive. The drive back from Pittsburgh was slow going.

I am not cancelling anything. Just have patience with me. I need to rest today and I WILL be there tomorrow at 9 but I may not be participating much. @granz if you still need to set up tonight my wife can come up around 5:30 to unlock the church for you. Just call me and we'll work it out.

It is my hope and prayer that with rest today I will be fine tomorrow and enjoy your company. I apologize for any inconvenience.

I did test the projector and it's working fine. I haven't powered it up in like 6+ years. It will take HDMI, DVI, and VGA. I'll have several cables for HDMI if any of you would like to use it for your presentations. I also have a small like 60" screen, but if the church has something larger that may be better.

I also tested my projector - I got it from eWaste, and had never tested it. It seems to work, but I have no screen. My projector takes VGA, or composite, video in.

I did arrive around 4:00, and Brian was able to get to the church and let me in. Much of my stuff is there, on one of the tables, and we have six tables set up and ready to go. I also brought a few items for a "freebie" table, plus some stuff for sale.

[MicroNut]

Thanks for your prayers. I'm doing much better. With a goodnight's sleep I should be ok. @granz I got your HDMI cable. That room has a white marker board which could be used as a screen.

I still plan on bring the TOM printer although it hasn't been leveled and needs a layer of Kapton tape applied. I was hoping to do that but haven't had the chance.

I'm planning on brining my beast of a workstation. Only issue I have is it only had DP out. I will also bring a 4K monitor, but if anyone has a DP to HDMI cable and can bring it for me to borrow for the demo so I can use the projector. I can also use my laptop if not.

Sorry Jim, if I knew before I left home (6:00PM) I could have brought such a cable. We checked in to the hotel 1/2 hour before your post. Hopefully someone local has one.

I actually think I can pick up all I need at Walmart on my way tomorrow.
