It's pretty easy butch, I used to have it but got rid of it since I have FaceTime. It's just like using the phone. Just punch in who you want to call and your connected, I guess that everybody will be calling you unless somebody there has a iPad or laptop to use.

Oh yeah if your wife has messenger Suzie has her on fb we could video call, could give you guys the grand tour of my cluttered still house.

Talked with SOH and SKYPE is out for this year . Web cam , head phones , and decent speakers are not in the budget before the party . There are also security concerns .
On a better note :
New electric smoker grill is doing a fantastic job . We are all getting stoked for the party . Hope you are , too . Bring a folding chair if ya got room .
This doesn't apply to Randy Marsh . He left his here last year and we have kept them in good order for him .
I've cleaned out my PM inbox . Anyone lacking directions or having additional questions feel free to PM me .

Butch, I understand about skype, no prob. But I would really like to participate. If any body there has an iPhone and FaceTime I can hook up thru them. You are permitted to giving them my number. And it will work out, just no group time.

Bob , we got a couple weeks to refine this and I will do what I can . Losing Dad jammed me out of a week of leisure time preparty . I got 5 distillations and at least one mash cook to do before the end of Labor Day weekend in order to be ready for the party .
It's doable if I stay out of the jug . But, what fun is that ? This is a hobby and hobbies are supposed to be fun , right ?
That's what I told myself when I didn't quite make the 8 second whistle in the rodeo arena .

Finally getting internet access here in Houston, TX. So TB, I won't be able to make it this year my friend. My wife and I adopted a baby girl this last week which has been wonderful. Unfortunately we had to go pick her up in Texas with Harvey nipping at our heels. Long and short of it, we're stuck until further notice. I'm going to try and get my wares down to you all via SCD. I'll be sad to miss such a great group of people getting together but priorities and circumstance rule this day.

This party can be put on hold if you need help . Baltimore to Port of Houston was a 3 PM Monday to 9 AM Tuesday with an 18 wheeler . I can get there quicker in a 4 wheeler and pick up a boat on the way . You just say the word .

Very much appreciated Butch but we're doing ok. We're at the hospital since my daughter is in pediatrics anyway. They've given us a place to sleep, shower, and eat. I'm going to attempt to fly home this weekend so I can keep up with my boy's who've been with my parents the last week and Liss will head back once the baby is cleared to fly.

We've had a few members that had to drop out of this year's gathering last minute . Could I get another roll call by next Wednesday ? That's grocery shopping day . Nobody will go hungry for lack of food at our house . Neither do we want to overbuy to the point that attendees can't carry off leftovers for their trip home .
Food will be served as a 'come and get it' buffet . There will be no designated portions per person like some venues .

Would rather have you here than extra food , but I understand obligations . We're picking up briskets on Thursday to get in the smoker on Friday to smoke about 22 hours to be ready to serve Saturday evening .
In lieu of a brisket if you had some fresh country butter I'm sure it would be well received .

Dad went in a good way and enjoyed all you folks that came last year , including that 'funny talking feller '(The Croweater) that had that funny tastin whiskey (Bundaberg Rum)
We had been planning , on our end , that you were coming . If you can't we understand . The size of the group we are hosting determines what we can accomplish over a weekend and just how much food we need to prepare .
let us know where you stand .
{Edit] Hadn't mentioned it , but Dad emptied his last jug of whiskey into his last drink on the evening before he died .

Rager ,
We have food covered . Randy's 2 chairs are waiting on you and him . Any sodas , beer , or mixers that you have a preference for could go on your list . We have malls a few minutes away for anyone that forgets something or needs to resupply .
