sap -- we still on for granville?

what's for lunch people?

Hi tmonk. Sorry I am still in snail mail delivery time mode. Did we need to take out a second mortgage to eat there?

Speaking of Rockville. Anyone notice about these types of red light cameras? I think they were implemented late last year?
Citations will be given for the following in front of a red light camera (there's a motion/speed sensor pod in front of the white line behind the crosswalk):
1. Vehicle must be completely stopped before making a right in front of a right camera.
2. Vehicle has to be less than 13 MPH while turning.
3. Vehicle has stopped anywhere in the crosswalk area.
Violation costs $75.

I'll mention it to Derek this week. He knows Jon as well, and he might have already hinted to it. We've lost Vinnie to 5.0 bump, the other singles player to grad school in AZ (doesn't plan on returning this spring/summer), and another to "old knees" (he can't play on anything but clay), so we need a few more to fill in the gaps.

i'm hungry...what's for lunch?

CB -- yeah i heard moco is trying to generate even more money from traffic cameras. including tickets for stopping with all four tires behind the white line in front of a traffic signal and then backing up -- as in you slammed the brakes to stop but overshot a bit and then backed up. that's a ticket. also if you don't come to a full stop at a red light and make a rolling right turn. that's a ticket.

sap / pman -- thanks for the fun at granville moores. van damm good mussels and fries and beer. i think the fries were the best part. the mussels were as good as advertised. the belgian beer on tap was also good but a little pricey. 1 belgian beer = 12 bottles of sam adams.

swerve -- welcome to the forums. i have a buddy from loudoun cty too. sea bass is his name.

Welcome to the TWMAC.

I'm out near Loudoun (Dulles), but I can't hit too often due to my schedule. Keep an eye out for TWMAC hits, though they tend to be closer to Arlington/DC.

Less than 13 mph when turning? Is that an actual law? What if you need to accelerate to get up to traffic speed?

Thanks! I'm out in Leesburg. DC or Arlington isn't bad. Usually have to go that way anyways for mixed combo. I just started playing and am a pretty good 3.0 so hopefully you experts don't mind hitting with a rookie, I will however run as much as I can down.

I am captaining a couple of 4.0 teams out here in the sticks if you want to commute. You may be too young for one of them, though; your 5.0ness always showed up when we hit together, but I think that was more my 1.5ness making you look gooder than you really was.

[Sup2Dresq]

Dats,

Sup misses giving clinics. From your love/hate relationship with the a/c, jrs competitor spirit with the game 21, tennis monkey 10 minute breaks, mopping Auzzie sweat puddles and topaz commanding her lady clinic friends like a teacher pets.

*give me a moment..I may tear*

P.s. lent for sup= no alcohol for 40 days starting tomorrow. Tonight will be epic.

Yup, and the first round of beer is always on me. I know how to recruit, Southeast Conference style.
