But you'll have food for a week or so........

That happens whether you folks show or not . Bein hungry is never one of our problems .

[Truckinbutch]

SOH came up with a proposal tonight that I thought bore merit . She's happy to help host this year's gathering at our place . Her thought is to make this a rotating party instead of an annual thing at our place . Jed hosted last year and we will this year . Someone else pick up the banner for next year . Any thoughts ?

[thecroweater]

That how we do them here

Date looks great to me, TB.
BigBob, if you end up heading to D.C. you can consider flying into Baltimore, BWI. I know Southwest Air flys into that airport, and their tickets are usually changeable/refundable.
It's a cheap and easy train ride from there down to D.C.

I'm often in Washington, and usually driving a 15 passenger van. If it works out that I can be there around that time I'd be more than happy to shuttle folks out to TB's and back.
I can't commit to that right now, but as date nears I would expect to be able to arrange that.

Truckinbutch,

Thanks alot for your hospitality and stepping up to bring a proper meeting to the family this year. I was prepping all winter by trying out all sorts of all grain recepies, and really trying to get a great offering to share. Thanks for giving us rebels, pirates and lunatics some direction . See you in August friend

[Truckinbutch]

Glad to see this gaining traction . Sadly , all I will have to offer is white dog and hospitality . Those will be in abundance . It's been a rough winter for us .

You mean that white dog that everyone was fussin' over and begged MCH to send across the country to them? I was one of them.

I love white dog UJ that is less than 2 weeks old. My first run I was truly bummed to find out that sweetness went away. And you do it really well. I will be looking for a pull off that when I get there

[jedneck]

Can't say if I will make it or not yet. Won't know till damn ne'er last minute. Gonna depend on having someone tend the critters.

[pythonshine]

Well if I can get on top of things I'm going to try to be there....Lookin forward to meeting you all!

[StillLearning1]

I'm going to be last minute too...brought this up to the wife the other day and she is still on edge about me meeting up with " a bunch of strangers from the internet "

Ask anyone that went to Jedfest :all them strangers got to be friends real fast and there were no issues between people . There was a cat that intruded about eatin time that got 'excused' from the party . We expect (DEMAND) adult behavior . This is gathering of serious hobbyists . Not a frat party .

[Bigbob]

See my post in the S3 meet, you ( I mean every one reading this should) get to one of these. I'm trying to get to you TB, and thanks MCH that might work too!
Posted same time as TB and +1 to that!

Oh I fully understand TB. I want to come to learn in person and meet the men that have mentored me the last year or so. It's relaying that message to her that's giving me trouble. Funy thing is I think she's only seen me intoxicated once on my spirits.

Well , By God ............ We can fix that I mean we can show her that we all drink responsibly Later in the year I'll share a phone # with you if she would like to speak to my wife about what she will tolerate at her house .
>Didn't realize it when I picked this date that is also SOH's birthday .

[StillLearning1]

Bwaaahahahaha!!! Yea id imagine pacing yourself is gonna be key. That and bottles water! And yes TB that sounds like it may do the trick. We will be in touch for sure.

Sounds good . We wish to make her comfortable and happy , too . We like to have our guests leave looking forward to the next time they can return .

[thecroweater]

couple of slims on the turn table to make a country boy feel at home, couple of randys to remind him he ain't

[moosemilk]

OK , coordinating with Croweater we are looking at 8/6/16 for a date to gather here . Need some feedback , please .

Just to confirm, that is August 6, right? All my plans are on last minute notice. Depends on job situation. I'll be done my career change for school shortly (passed my CWB all position stick tests!), and if I find work in that field, it'll be hard to say what i can do for time off. Would love to make it though, and SOH is all for me going.

[pythonshine]

That is Right August 6. Now I really have to to go! lol Definitely going to try.

[RandyMarshCT]

TB, I will be there. Looks like we should find something nice for your wife's birthday. What does she like?

[varocketry]

Michigan Cornhusker, BigBob, etc:

If you arrange flights through DULLES Airport, I can offer a R/T ride to parts West if we coordinate schedules.

StillLearning1:

My spousal unit had a brief similar concern before I headed out to Pagosa Springs last year for S3. When Jedfest came around, she said "Go have fun with your buddies!"

It's slightly intimidating walking up a driveway out in the middle of the Colorado or Pennsylvania wilderness your first time, but when Woodshed came out and gave me a big hug greeting I knew I was in the company of extraordinary gentlemen. That realization only grew stronger as the weekend and activities progressed.

"Jump in the pool, the water's fine!"

PS She's welcome too, 'specially if she's got a personality on her.

[StillLearning1]

She's away visiting family this week, but when she returns I plan to read her the comments here. Thank js for the kinds words and encouragement friends.

StillLearning like TB offered on swapping numbers, I will make the same offer. I see the members that where at jedfest as brothers and uncles.
