Marauder Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 Well, Marauder is on the west coast again. If I go out to one more business dinner, I'm going to go nuts (okay more nuts). If any of you are in the area and would like to go out for a beer, drop me a note. I'm on Stevens Creek. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marauder Posted October 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 How long are you here? I work in Santa Clara, CA. I will be here until Friday morning. Let me know if you want to meet up for a beer. Played Boschi (get that right?) Ball as team building exercise. That is how far down my career has digressed...

carusoam Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 (edited) When the family gets together. We have this little thing... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bocce the anglicized version is Bocci... Did the team building exercise include the cigars and the home made wines?

carusoam Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 In Bocce, the experienced Mooney pilot always bowls last... He uses speed and efficiency to move the small ball closer to his team's balls. It is best played with a fair amount of good food, good wine and good company. The objective is having the best time. Fortunately anyone focussed on the best score exposes themselves as a pilot of brand C or P or something slooooower..... Any HR people in your crowd? They are the ones taking notes on their score card... Best regards, -a- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlyDave Posted October 8, 2015 Report Share Posted October 8, 2015 I just had an event cancellation tomorrow evening. I'll be in emeryville until around 4 so I should be able to get down to Santa Clara for a bite and a beer (maybe 2). I'll pm both of you to coordinate.

The one thing you can keep is the traffic. I couldn't imagine being stuck in traffic with a full bladder.

bonal Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 Would have liked to have been there as its not far, but alas work prevails. I sure don't miss the Bay area Traffic. my wife and I used to travel there for family driving 2.5 hours minimum each way. Now we fly takes 40min air time and about 20 ground time each end. Corse you know why we have such clear air its from all those VW diesels that live out here. In fact California has more cars than anyone how come our air is so clean, Even the L.A. basin has pretty darn clear air most days now. Maybe next time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
