I will see what I can do Pearl. Charlie I stay in enough trouble without your help. Gus that's great,one thing I can say about this bunch,they can eat and ant really picky about what it is and long as it a lot of it. Got 2 more calls from MI. yesterday so looks like we will have plenty of Yankees around,also 2 from NC, 1 said he knew Pat,can't remember his name and several from South Al. GA/ IL./OH./MO. so it is shaping up to be another good one it looks like. Lot of new folks that seen the article in PA [Thanks Matt] and just want to come check us out so you guys/gals be on your best behavior.

We all can at times Pappy, but it is so much fun to have it documented...lol.  16 days, but who is counting??

[Josh B]

Hey Pappy!  I talked to the boss yesterday and he promised to get me a load down there for the classic.  There is still no guarantee that the loads will work out, but it is sounding good so far. Hopefully I can get there early enough to park the Ken-a-bago at the bottom of the hill this year.  That walk up the hill after an all nighter in the knapping pit is hard on a fat man!  I hope to enjoy some more Southern hospitality again real soon!

    Oh my!  I believe I'll leave that alone.  Josh

[Wolf Watcher]

Looking out my Hell Room window at Hawk Huston's trailer, a foot of new snow, and zero degrees which makes the trip to the farm even harder to wait for!  My job is to get my stuff loaded and be ready to head out to Clarksville when Hawk shows up from Montana!  Really looking forward to seeing the people I have met there before and the new ones that will be there this time.  God Bless Pappy, Miss Joanie, and all the members that make this possible!  Joe

[stringstretcher]

Don't worry everyone, the pictures will be just for my trips down memory lane later in life.  There will be no black male pictures taken I promise.  Now there may be a few that we can put some funny captions too later if needed

[iowabow]

[Pappy]
