Well, things are being readied!  ;) 8)     If everybody, that can, will bring a few sticks of fire wood it would help. Also, we have had a pretty active tick season so far so everyone be forewarned. I have some Permanone spray but bring more if you have it.  As I think of other things I will post here. Ya'll do the same.     Pat

also...I have a Weber charcoal grill, a Coleman 2 burner camp stove and a few lanterns. I will also have plenty of well water on site. We have electricity...but only single hole outhouse. I did buy a 20# bail of ERC chips and have ground lime, so that will help some. ::)....maybe, knowing these guys! :o     Pat

I'm sure Dana could figure out a way to plumb it, treat the water back to purity!

Anybody have a scrap of hardwood I can have for a handle? I've got a boo/ipe blank that I want to glue up there and it's going to need a riser.  All I've got left is red oak which would be ugly and some mahogany that didn't like being a handle last time I tried.

Thanks,

Wanted to let y'all know what I planned to do for Sat night potluck.
I was at the store tonight getting groceries and consumable liquids....
Anyway I stared and stared at the meat.... didnt have a clue...
You guys always seem to have so much good meat anyway.....

So I bought Spuds... HUGE frickin spuds. got 12 bakers and all the fixins and foil. got bacon bits, cheeze, sour cream and the works...
Figured I would throw them in the fire an hour before we decided we would eat. Should be nuf for all. One looks too much for me. like i said these things are HUGE... so dont no body else bring 'taters'.
Course I bought plenty of hydrating liquids as well.

Sound OK?

Cant wait. been looking forward to this for a while.
see Y'all there

Thanks Pat.  8 or 9 inches long, a little over an 1 wide and about 3/4 thick should work, but I'm open to suggestions.

Wade, sounds like you took the tater by the horns.  ;D Good for you. Sounds good to me. I have a leg-o-lamb that Alan Brown gave me I was gonna do something with.
  John, osage OK. I'll see what else I may have. 
  I got a call from Tom Brennan(Tom B) tonight. He and his son Patrick(Lil Pat) are coming for a few hours on Saturday. Some of you guys know Tom but some don't. A few weeks ago, Tom had a portion of a brain tumor removed. I'm pleased he is well enough to come and honored that he would. He told me tonight that most of what they took out was Yankee! ;D
  My weekend starts tomorrow when Dick gets here. Hey Dick, when are you getting here.  ??? ;)   Pat

Pat, I reckon osage would work.  I'm still open for suggestions as far as what looks good.  Some people think that I shouldn't be allowed to dress myself.  :)

I'm glad to hear that Tom is doing well and will be able to make it some.  I have a question or two for him.
