I hope you can make it. Sorry to hear about the change in your plans.

Okay, I checked the highway again this morning. I appears that while they have moved everything down from four lanes to two, you can still turn west on County Hwy 24 off Hyw 52. This way there isn't the confusing little turn back on the frontage road. Anyone coming up from the south still needs to turn at the Dairy Queen stoplight.

As to coffee. If I can get someone to hold a tray, I have four belt grinders and we should have a pile of coffee pretty quick if we get all of them going at once...

Or we can have a grinding contest to see who can barehanded grind a coffee bean down to the smallest piece without removing their fingerprints. I will recuse myself to make it fair to all involved.

NO panic please, I have a burr grinder.

I hope you can make it Ron.

Bummer, Ron. I know it would be a long drive for you but we're all hoping like crazy that you can make it!! Let's all cross our fingers and toes.

Bummer!

But... please do not knock yourself out just for 2 hours. What is the driving time?, 2-3 hours each way? and you still would have to deal with the moving? Thats asking a bit much of yourself.

If you can make it, that would be great but try not to push to hard. We will be having another meeting in 3-4 months so we can see you then.

Bruce is bringing a cold cuts tray. I may be bringing some chips and such.
If any one wants to bring some other food goodies please do.

I'll be bringing some chopped barbecued beef brisket and buns for sandwiches, possibly some other things, too.

My apologies to any vegetarians who may be attending, but I'm assuming straight razor user = carnivore.

Hmmm...lets get this straight, cold cuts tray, chips and dip, barbecued beef, fresh coffee plus...

OK, this is now a pig out!

Actually, it's closer to 4 hours each way.

But it's beginning to look more and more like it might be worth it! Mmmm, meat! After all, I've already packed up 112 hones for the trip!

It looks like I may be in town this weekend! I'll know more tomorrow and look to get final clearance from SWMBO. We share a vehicle since I'm never home...so basically I pay for it, but I need to get permission to take it

I'll put on the baking apron, run over to Rainbow and pick up some cookies.
