    Happy to report that @henapple plans to make it to this.  Although he’s skeptical of the potential bunking opportunities and is disappointed there hasn’t been more discussion of bacon so far.
    My Pig Shots will be bacon wrapped!

    John,

    Please put me down for some Pineapple Chipotle Beans. Don’t care if it’s Friday, Saturday, or Saturday night.

    To everyone/anyone that has anything to do with the planning of this event and/or will be doing cooking that I will be enjoying, THANK YOU. I know things like this take a lot of behind the scenes work that will never be seen, so I am saying it in advance for me, which is also the same time all the effort is being made by many of you.

    Okay. Carry on...

    Very nice brother.  John, Matt and Gary, and around 10 others put this together.  John, Matt and Gary do the heavy lifting and created this debacle. The rest of us contribute/participate cooks.  Looking forward to seeing you guys!  Tokyo 2020.

    Truth be told, we do not do much to put this together.  It is a team effort all the way around.

    I mean, just as one example, at the first one of these, Robin showed up with Bloody Mary’s and Ron showed up with Bourbon slushies.  We did not ask either of them to do that, they just did this of their own volition.

    Two adult beverages appeared in the woods and I .. I drank the one with more alcohol, and that has made all the difference.

    Party told me you are a “man of few volitions”.  I guess she overestimated you.  Probably not the first time...

    Brother...I am right there with you when the flight gods are unkind. My company is asking that we not travel as we hit our stretch run into the fiscal year run. I am first in line with helping cut cost. Happy to be at home....hoping you get there soon. Look on the bright side. Suzy will be a waiting. ;)
