Home Distiller

I'm still hoping to make this. If I do it'll probably be tent and sleeping bag and fly in. All depends on how things go in my new field of work.

Failing being turned around at the boarder I can see no reason why we wont be there. We are really looking forward to meeting you guys and gals.

We'll have the light on for ya .

Well , here we are . Time for commitments and planning . Those that respond in the next two weeks or so will be included in a blanket PM with phone#'s and directions . Late comers will also be accommodated . I just want to make as simple as possible with one post via PM .
We will provide a couple hundred acres for towed and tent campers . The house guest room is reserved for Croweater and his Lady . Motel accommodations are 6 miles away along I-79 for those that need their 'comforts' .
We will be ready to begin receiving visitors on the afternoon of 8/5/16 . Evening meal will be 'hoppins' ; what ever hoppins to be on hand for all of us . Wiener roast at the very least . Camp fire as well .
8/6 will be a long day with a pork bbq toward the end .
8/7 will offer an informal breakfast for those left standing .
A portapotty will be placed in a central location for the guys . Ladies get the inside facilities . Campers outside the yard can use whatever tree or bush that suits them .
Bring along whatever beverage you wish or we will try to help you find it once you get here . We will try to feed the troops .
House Rules will be followed :
#1 Politics and Religion will NOT become topics of conversation . Those and alcohol lead to confrontations .
#2 don't piss on the patio .
#3 Don't kick our dogs .
#4 Have a seat , have a drink , relax and count your blessings . Enjoy the company you are in .
#5 Violaters of the house rules will NOT be asked to leave . It will be required of them to do so .
Roll call will be everyone that responds and we will address their needs as they define them . I most encourage anyone that can to bring a camper or a tent and stay on the farm . The county cops are hard on DUI's .

I believe I will try to make it, probably toss a tent up somewhere. Only 6 hours from here, not too shabby.

Reporting, sir. Will be there with a smile on my face and gratitude in my heart. Thanks Butch!

Count me in friend

Good lord willin' and the creeks don't rise, I intend to attend.

I would like to make it but with the current state of affairs in my little hole in the mountain not sure if we will be able to

My fingers and toes crossed I can make it.

We are off to a good start . Hope things change for you , Jed .

Me too. SOH said I can go and she would stay home but I see no fun in that. Can't be lettin your lovely speaker put up with us hooligans without other feminine help.

I would come, but I'd end up kicking a dog after losing a political debate with it.

That would be a sight to see.

You said that in jest . Ask MCH or FMhermit just how politicly oriented my Aussie is . Far as kickin one of my dogs : I never met a man whose life I placed a higher value on than that of a good dog ................

I'm a man who rescues spiders. I could no more kick a dog than I could eat a tree.

Apologies to our non-native English speakers for that last sentence.

Dog has been known to hang out at voting booths in the hopes of getting a treat !

Now, if he's a true Aussie he prolly peed in the ballot box and shagged a party mascot. We just held federal elections two days ago and it's so close they still can't call it

Bump . Bringing it back to the top for those who might have missed it .

i didn't miss the post, but sadly i will miss the event. 16 hours of layovers and expensive flights and bad timing in the real world puts it out of reach, but wishing you all a most excellent celebration!
stay safe and have some fun!

Understood . Perhaps someday another member will host a party that is closer to middle ground for us .

I'm out too TB. Closing on my first home next week so no time and less money. I hate it, but maybe next time I can make it. Hope you guys have a great time at the real life bench!!!!!

OK , we are at 9 attending at this point . FMHermit , I assumed that you would attend , you haven't said yes or no . That leaves it a family gathering size . The dynamics change as the numbers grow . That's why I keep asking . Menu planning and personal accommodations change with larger groups . We wish to be good hosts .

Been somewhat reclusive here of late. Didn't mean to be rude.

8/5-6 is the date ?

Tentative yes at this time.

Ok, took a deep breath and bought airline tickets to Pittsburgh!! Sorry guys can't make the stilling wagon trip thru DC and environs. But will meet you at Truckarama!! Looking forward, and see ya there!!

Dern it ah well see ya there then

Yeah, sorry Crow, just couldn't make it happen. But will see you and sue for a couple of days! ( you probably would get tired of me quickly!)

I'd been hoping to hear from him . He had been eager to attend a meet at my place .

Hey all, sorry for the late reply. Me and the Mrs will be there. Rager, still a go! Wish I had more offerings to bring, but I've been hell-bent on making beer lately. I may be able to pull off 2 last minute rum runs (final strip & spirit)... the spirit run is too big to mention around these parts, so if it's good I may have some gifts for everyone. If it sucks, I'll leave it all home for the oak.

Looking forward to this very much!
