    @CTMike - I have every confidence that the Army attendees will steer clear as they know they are no match.  But should their mental faculties fail them and you do find some, then please show some mercy, for they have no clue.  BTW- one more time-that is an awesome rig-"Goin Deep."

    I am in a LEO flight plan but I must say that this event may be the most varied and gastronomical unsanctioned BGE event on the planet.  The grocery shots and future menu are Michelin star worthy.  Of course they don't star the adult supervisory beverages. I will leave the cumulative star rating to the participants.  No pressure as from a distance it is way up there.

    A little after 3 in the morning and everyone’s asleep while I tend the fire for the guest of honor. The party broke up about an hour ago.

    Well another year I get to be the sulking kid in the corner watching everyone else have fun. 

    My better half has our oldest at travel soccer tournament and I have our other two.

     2 soccer games and a baseball game today, so I won’t be able to get there in time. 

    I hope everyone has a fantastic journey- still plan to meet you all in person at some point.
