I plan to sleep over on the property that night before actually, (...as I do most nights! 8) 8) 8) ).  I'll be up and setting things up earlier, but planned on seeing y'all around 8 AM or shortly thereafter.

We'll have to make allowances for Pat. He doesn't deal well with early mornings.  ???

Marines are generally late.  They show up to "blaze the trail" right after the Rangers have secured their LZ for them.   :P :o 8)

Thats because you guys make so much noise that you draw them in and then it's our job to keep the LZ open!

True that Sleek! Had a blast and Eric is the host with the most. I'm sure his honey had a little to do with the success as well. ;)

Fantastic day!

Weather perfect. Every power tool ya could possibly need. Brand new vice benches constructed. Great tiller tree setup. Target range. Huge shade tree.
And the food? Ohhhh, my goodness! Wonderful!!

Oh ... almost forgot ... strengthening friendships ... priceless!!! Thanks, Eric, for making it a great memory.

By the way, I was privileged to provide the initial fireworks.   >:D   :embarassed:
And we all know who REALLY won the shooting competition.   :P

X2! Couldn't have said it better myself!

I want to say, the gathering was definitely the place to be this weekend! The hospitality was over the top! Eric and his wife are the most gracious people I know. They opened there home to all of us without hesitation. The new benches, food, shooting, conversation and the warm cookies were awesome! Eric and his wife are top notch and I'm lucky to be able to call them my friends!

Thank you all for a great day!

I wish I could have been there. It sounds like a great time. I just didn't have the time this time. It sure would be nice to see some pics though... O:)

They say you can tell if a party was a good time by the things left behind by those that attended.  Here are a couple items that need to find their ways back home.  One looks like a lady's clutch purse, ...but I didn't recall that we had any ladies attending the event...

...and the leather arm guard sans laces was found under a chair.

Not pictured are a pair of lovely shade tents that I know where they need to go home to...   ::)

...and the last picture is about the fourth wheelbarrow full of shavings that were returned to the flower nutrient state known as wood ashes last evening.
