    As long as they're not actively on fire.

    If they are, just park it at Kare 11. I'll be along shortly.

    It looks like the Subarus are going to be out numbered, lol. I think I may drive the Chevy just to help that happen.

    If the snow sticks or there's snow in the forecast, we'll be in the Infiniti. If it is dry, I may take the Z. Another option would be the Dodge, as it has space to put lots of toys. The "Santa's Sleigh" aspect of the Z with the top down is still intriguing. Steph and I discussed it, and she MAY allow the top down for the Cub to Kare11 transit, but it goes right back up after that.

    As an added bonus, for those that know me, instead of my usual shaved head, I haven't had a haircut since the wedding.

    It's more of a Shaggy from Scooby Doo look. Especially with the goatee.

    It's Dec. 8th! If you can do it, grab an extra toy or two today and meet us for the annual MNSUBARU Toys for Tots event. Great chance for the members with kids to teach them a lesson about being naughty by giving their toys away;)

    Yup. Then we can load your wagon into the trunk of my car. I can even leave the dead hookers in back.

    The trunk of the Infiniti is filled to capacity. Figured we'd take the car that looks kindof like a Legacy. The Z will be too obvious.

    Totally spaced this out somehow. Realized at about 9:30 when I was driving the Zamboni that I had toys to give... Awesome job to all who made it.

    Understaffed or not, they forgot Steph's, well, everything. I'm surprised she was as composed as she was. I almost wanted to apologize for the things going through my head when she forgot her entire meal. Like, I started to feel bad about the things I was saying to her in my head. Juan might have forgotten part of the order, but seriously...total fail all the way around.

    lol, codya was at Kare 11 with us;)

    Perkins fail was so bad I never got the word anyone was going!:(

    I must say "way to go" for all who could and did make it out this year. And the toys brought by so few members kicked ass, but this group is much larger leaving me wondering what can be done to bring more people out?

    If you didn't make it, was it the weather, time of day, economy or something else? If there is anything "we" can do to get more people out, what would it be?

    Sorry, fella. I couldn't do it this year. I got laid off from my job and have had to focus my time and energy on that front. I didn't even remember till a week ago. :(

    My deepest apologies to all on this.

    You're more than welcome to setup a group drop off, but we usually do the full 9 with the TV appearance and the scheduled drop off. You wont be getting a scheduled drop off at this point, and if 30 Subarus show up and raid their parking lot, they likely wont have smiling faces for you.
