Sorry, I've been busy at work and haven't had the opportunity to check in until now. The Carmen should be close the Centennial Bridge cam. I know the AISfree maps are delayed a bit so it is harder to tell for sure, but if she hasn't passed by the cam yet, she should be soon.

The Carmen is circled in red, and the Centennial Bridge cam is around where the blue circle is located.

And for later reference, the Miraflores web cam is located where the blue circle is in this capture.

I need to get back to work, I'll be out of commission until around 5. That'll probably be around the time she passes through the Miraflores Locks.

Here is the latest screen capture, she's probably past the bridge now since this map is at least and hour delayed.

Even worse, what's going to happen when Mike gets Deacon.

Sad, but true. And here I am without a MINI for at least the rest of the week...

Happy birthday, Mike! I hope you and Tigs have a great time at MITM! I was starting to get really jealous that you all are going, but one of my best friends is coming to visit me this weekend, so I will have fun too. I can't wait to hear all about it when you return... over many mod nights... with DEACON!

BTW, we missed you guys last Tuesday. Malibu Stacy now has a pulley. WOO HOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We're back from running errands, and the MINIs look maaaahvelous.

Hiya, JJ!!! I've missed you. We really need to coordinate our vacations better. It sounds like you had an awesome time with your brother in town, and the pics were fantastic!!

Be sure to check out the Copper Mountain live webcams. We'll do our best to put on a show for you.

Emily, don't worry. We might be physically away from the keyboard(s), but we're always with ya'll in spirit. And once Deacon arrives...we'll just have to plan some roadtrips up to meet Robin, you, and Gary. We can find some fun interesting locations, meet there, have a few 3-day weekend parties and continue this thread's silliness and fun in person!! Labor Day weekend is coming up!!

Really looking forward to meeting Don and a few others who've dropped in here and we've gotten to know on NAM.

^^^^^^^

BTW, JJ. How are you liking that pulley? I bet your rockin' the freeways in Malibu Stacy. We're going to have an Alta CAI here shortly....if you're interested.

We're leaving it on Church (it's the last mod left, excluding the stereo system) for the drive to MITM...but it will come off and be put back to stock once we return home.

Tigs, I don't know how I ever lived without the pulley! Thanks for the offer, but Ed's old Pilo intake will probably go on after Stacy's next service.

Everyone who has enjoyed this thread really should just come out to Sandy Eggo and meet the cast of characters in person!

Getting closer. It sucks that the webcam at Miraflores is pointing South, so we won't be able to see the Carmen approaching or being lowered, just see her sailing away.

Missed it. Had to take a **** to the Post Office.

Now you can stand on the shoreline with binoculars, waiting for it to sail by.

Y'all be good...

...and don't let the thread die a horribly boring death while we're away. This is your home on NAM too!

I'm powering down my 'puter now. Going to grab a bite to eat and put myself into bed; trying to sleep between 9PM - 2AM.

Bags are packed, pre-departure checklist has been checked a bijillion times. What we forget, we'll just have to deal without or buy enroute.

Thanks so much for the support, friendship, and eagle eyes on the Carmen. It means more than we can express - but those of you who've already layed eyes on your babies understand.

We'll be back online next Tuesday night. I miss you already!

Tigs
