Oakland/Alameda Tank Tours May10th

[MichaelB]

Yes, I would love that if that's still on offer. I have twin 2 year olds and it's really hard to get to the south bay from Oakland. I feel like the PAR meter likes to lurk in the south bay.

I'll bring it. Just ask me during the tour. I will be meeting up with the tour @Thales place at some point.

Sad to say I need to miss this now. I found out yesterday that it is only a matter of time (anywhere between today and two months) before car suddenly becomes a brick so we are car shopping Saturday.

A update for Oakland Alameda Tank Tour schedule this Saturday.

@HankDean V- reached out to me and informed me himself and others in his house are currently sick and have been for a few days (the short version)

So we will cancel our visit to his place during the up coming tour and wish him a speedy recovery.

Schedule below has been slightly adjusted to accommodate this. 15 mins more with @Thales and we arrive at Hightide slightly earlier.

1.) @Michael Hans - Alameda

Will arrange food at Hightide it's mentioned on the orginal post.

From what I was told 3 hours maybe not be enough time. He has a home lab, and
lots he can show and teach us. To explain why there is more time at his place. We have to Finsh up at his place no later than 4pm per his sechdule.


We are trying to get 2 other eastbay tank tours set up, where we would in deed plan to visit AC & Calikids. Based on there location in the east bay. They are currently held up presently due to peoples availability and locking down a date. (Most of those logistics conversations are held in the east bay group message as not to clog up the general fourm.)



Hopefully they will happen before the year is over. In addtion to a Northbay and San Francisco tank tour.


If you wanna arrange a carpool meet up at AC or somewhere else there is nothing saying you or anyone else can't do it. I would even encourage it.

Looking foward to it. As a club our insurance won't premit us to buy adult Beverages for members, but seeing Kenny has no issues with it feel free to pick up your own poison.

The club will however bring a few non alcoholic drinks to go with the pizza.

Can’t believe I missed Rich’s! Had to coach softball.
The first event I went to was a tank tour in 2010. I met everyone at Rich’s and went inside and was like, oh I see, these people don’t mess around!
