So does this mean it's more or less set for Saturday?

Well, it's 10 to 4, so if I move your vote it's still 9-5 in favor of Saturday. It's still open for a few more days, so we'll see, but it's not looking good for you and the missus. Can she change her flight?

Based on Scottcarp's response that "I'll keep [you being unvailable on Saturday] in mind, but unless there's a big swing, changing you from Sat to Sun won't make much difference," I took it to mean that we'd be doing Saturday to best accomodate the majority of responses. Scott, am I wrong? I could try to make it for Sunday, but Saturday is definitely preferable for me (and doesn't cause me to miss any football!)

She's flying back from visiting her family on a reservation in South Dakota that's three hours from the nearest airport - which is also tiny. On top of that, there are only flights out of there on saturdays. so no. she can't change it.

aahhhh. I'm so disappointed.

Yes, majority will win, even if it doesn't agree w/my vote. I'm assuming there won't be a flurry of new votes, so it does look like Saturday.
What I meant by "keep you in mind" is if the vote gets close, I need to remember to move a Saturday vote to Sunday. We're not going to override the Democracy for 1 person, no matter how entertaining his rock climb was.

Yes, I understand. I'm not asking you to override the system to accommodate one person. I guess I'll just wait till the next trip - whenever it may be.

And about my rock climbing... it was planned. I happen to be very good at coming way too close to rolling. I practice alot.

Why not drop her jeep at the air port for her? Just make sure she has a copy of the key with her. Have some one follow you up in her jeep on friday night and leave it one night in the garage. Max cost is about $15.00 and you can still come!

Sounds like a pretty solid plan, but you know how girlfriends are... NOT picking her up may carry some hidden "girls-only" meaning that puts Trey in the doghouse for weeks.

I'm excited - Scott: When are you going to post up the specifics?

Ok - scratch everything I said earlier. I worked things out so that I can make it Saturday. Are there any final plans yet?
