If you can't have a good time here, you need to be fitted for a pine box.

Hey, buddy, things are looking GOOD for the massive roadtrip. It's technically 18 hours one way, more than I can make in a push, especially stopping for gas, food, and to run behind a bush to unload used coffee, but I am working out details.

I hope we have a couple good stave traders on hand!

Please help me spread the word, No dogs allowed at the Classic, we started that last year because the Dogs in camp rule didn't work, it went well last year, no bites/barking/dog fights or poop all around the camp and vending areas, so please help me let everyone know so we have no mix ups, some don't like it but most have told me they appreciate it. Several other events have done the same so be sure and check before you show up somewhere with your pet. Thanks.

Pappy, should I come out this weekend to get a camp spot?  Miss Connie says she’s not sleeping in a tent on a hillside this year. I told her that she would do as she was told I reckon.  I can barely see out of my left eye and I think the swelling is easing up on my right. Them Kentucky mountain girls have a mean right cross! ;)

I finished my last minute errands and have run the pre-loading checklist. All is staged at the backdoor and I will pack the vehicle tonite, minus the cold stuff for the cooler. I was planning on a noon start so that I could hit this incredible Brazilian steakhouse in Sioux Falls called 'Carnivale". They have a fantastic salad bar and hot food buffet, but the big feature is the spit roasted meats that come out of the kitchen on a regular basis. Waiters/gauchos walk around with swords loaded with an unbelievable array of spit roasted meats that they slice off at your table. It is a never-ending meat-sweats inducing proteinfest! And on top of that, they have a fantastic wine list at reasonable prices. I have bitten the bullet and decided that this is not in my best interest. Last time I ate there I was unable to make the drive home to Rapid City and ended up crashing in a hotel for a 12 hour food coma. I ate so much and gained so much weight that I shed my skin like an anaconda. I am afraid the poor housekeeper that had to deal with that in the hotel was psychologically scarred for life. If I stop at Carnivale I may not actually get back on the road until the Classic is almost over!!!

As it stands, I am doing an overnite in Atchison, KS and should arrive at the Classic on Thursday late afternoon. See ya'll then!

I drove within about 10 miles of you all a few days ago.  Had to get home to attend to some things.  Wish I coulda just pitched my tent and spent the week.  Maybe next year.

I'd be one of those folks still kicking themselves for not going, but had multiple situations arise at home, and just couldn't do it. Here I am again saying someday...

A real man stands up and does what needs doing, often putting what he wants to do on the back burner. And that is just fine. You'll get there when you get there.
