With only 19 days remaining before the fat man in the little red suit dashes 'round the world, we should start thinking when we want to get together for our annual Holiday Heavies meet up.  Christmas lands on a Monday this year.  Giving us the 23rd and 24th (Saturday and Sunday) to meet up without many work restrictions.

My only immediate thought is that this year's Holiday Heavies will still occur in 2017...but also game to start planning 2018's calendar of Heavies...

LOL and a D'oh! For good measure.  Non-Ross free zones tend to be more enjoyable, entertaining and humorous, especially when there are lulls between kerosene fueled activities.

I would have figured Friday might be the best chance for the last minute surge...

I expect Wednesday through Friday will be busy with a holiday surge.   Probably Saturday as well.  The shippers are doing much better with containing the shipping rush from past years.

I am open to joining everyone for breakfast Saturday morning for the official Holiday Heavy Meal....

Been seeing a UPS DC-10 the last 2 weeks, only non-regular I have seen.  But, I  generally only go by the airport at night (9-11 pm) or early am (3-5 am).

Will 6:30 be cutting it a little too close?
