SoCal Branch LEAF-Gathering Year 2 - #24c: 25 Aug 2012

I
Malloryk, sorry you could not make the Santa Monica parade. I bet "Ruby" was disappointed she didn't get a chance to participate.

This has probably already been posted, but I just wanted to offer my personal congratulations to Garygid for making the New York Times:

Tom, I was at the parade, I just didn't drive in it. I got to Main just a few minutes before it started so I got to see the whole thing but I didn't see you or Kathleen. I got to talking to a guy standing next to me so I was a little distracted. But it was very cool! I took some video.

Gary, congrats on the NY Times article! You're an EV star!!

Very nice write up. Congrats Gary and glad to see you made it home (you seemed pretty tried at the parade. Thanks again for the led light (it's installe and working well).
Speaking of the state of charge meter hehe Gary can I get one of those in red .

The caring and support of folks like you ...
helps me get through the days, ... and the nights.

Thanks, Mal and Andrew & Kathy
(and Kat, Phil, Mike, etc. as well!)

I hope to receive these Sylvania Motion Detector LED Lights (magnetic mount), before the next meeting.

It will be about $15 (maybe a bit less, depending upon the shipping costs).

I will bring cash to buy one LED on Oct 22 in Santa Ana. I also will bring thumb drive.

 

[garygid]

I will have some of the Sylvania LED lights with me.
They also work very well as motion-detector night-lights in the house.

See you Saturday.

I hope to have an SOC-Meter for Jeanne.

I'm told that the Nissan LEAF Facebook page community manager, Jonathan Carmona, is going to try and join us on Saturday. So that will be nice, if he can.

 

[garygid]

Does that mean we have to be on Good Behavior? :lol:

Others are welcome to join us.
A few from the Sunday Oct 16 group at the Orange Library
might be joining our Gathering.

Remember the secret handshake!

See you Saturday morning.
Cheers, Gary

I will try for 8:00 AM.

After 14 months of bi-monthly breakfasts with this group, I'm not sure that I would recognize good behavior if I witnessed it. :lol:

I agree, sorry I will miss the good behavior.

Good Behavior is not as great as it's cracked up/out to be
(... so I have been told).

Behavior that is forbidden in some places/circumstances ...
is required in other places/circumstances!

 

[Aeolus]

I will stop by now that I have adopted my orphan. Hopefully one of the regulars has the wet okole seat covers so I can see how they feel.

I am also really looking forward to some flat iron tips.

LOL...I will be there. I have swag bag for Gary from movie event.

 

[garygid]

Thanks Kat, I am looking forward to seeing you "tomorrow" (Saturday,
which starts in 6 minutes).

I will have the SOC-Meter for Jeanne, and we can "test" its Logging.

Wheeee!
Ignore my PM, sent only seconds ago.

 

[garygid]

J,
You would be very difficult to ignore,
even if I had the smallest desire to do so.
Best to you all, Gary

 

[Kataphn]

Great to see everyone today at the Santa Ana meet up

 

[garygid]

Kat, thanks for the gift.
Everybody, thanks for the caring.

About 11 people and 8 or so LEAFs.
I enjoyed it a LOT.

---------------------
I suggest the next meeting be on ...
maybe 12 Nov and then the next on ... the 26 is too close to Turkey-Day.

So, maybe the 5th in Cerritos and then the 19th in Santa Ana is the best?
(I suspect that I will have to miss the one on the 5th. )

Other Ideas?

What subjects are your meet-ups covering now? Used to have notes and pics but I gather everyone is quite busy now.

 

[garygid]

Nothing formal, just more-or-less:
Oct 16 happenings
Blowouts & Tire source
EV Surveys
QC use
PU bills, Rate changes
Trips, range, SOC usage
Personal lives and adventures
Welcome a new owner
A great family-type meeting
