Thanks for the social engagement folks, it was nice to put some faces with screen names.
Fun chat. Thanks, everyone, for joining us, and thanks, John, for organizing.

We likely have some of the same contacts in knowing your role within Napa, I worked with ATI until recently. It's going to be a difficult few months for shop owners and car counts are going to be down 20-30% post recovery from this, there's some tough sledding ahead within the industry.
Missed it.
boo :(
Missed it too but because I was doing astrophotography.
I got taken out by a migraine.
Thanks for all your input on bass guitars last night everybody. I've got a better understanding of what to look at/for when I can finally leave my house again.
Bummed, I tried to join and waited forever to be let in the room. Finally gave up and went outside to see that huge moon.
In reply to ThurdFerguson :
Sorry about that. I tried to get everyone in quickly and sometimes it seemed to take a couple of tries for it to work. Hope you can make the next one.

No worries, I figured your were jamming out with the rest of 'em.

I'm a hired gun consultant, but in five years of working for them I've met a LOT of cool people. We probably did cross paths on a project if content was involved.
Instead of a Friday night happy hour, who's up for a 9AM EST coffee hour Friday morning?
I would but I have to work.
I am also wondering now that GRM has there "official" Zoom meeting, that is pay to play, if this will go away.

I don't think this chat has to go away but I'll take my cues from the GRM staff. I was more doing this from a sense of just trying to foster some connection during this lockdown period. I'd love to do more project/shop walkarounds like Mike did with the Q45 and I really enjoyed the Bass discussion the other night. Overall I just want to make sure that those that join get a chance to be heard.

I thought 914Driver was the gun consultant.

Oh there's an official one now?

Having a reason to wake up at a normal time would be a good thing.

I completely agree with you. I have some serious philosophical issues with the whole pay to play thing but I am going to take it up in a privet letter to the GRM staff. I think it is best not discussed here on the forums. (It is not all negative by the way)

I missed it. I didn't know GRM had a patreon site too. I'm slacking lol

I'd be up for that.
I am usually up pretty early so even though I am on mountain time an early coffee time chat would work for me.
If we need topics i can easily show off my one and only street car. It isn't much to look at but it does everything from preschool duty to solo nats. I know it isn't the most interesting car in the world but it is a unique, affordable, thoughtfully modified sleeper.
Mostly I just listen, though...
We are up. Coffee is hot!
Good seeing everyone this morning.
Thanks again, John.
