RE: NW Thanksgiving Mini Rally Nov 27-28-29 2009
Yeah, I was thinking lets just bring all our leftovers and pool them for the weekend. Everybody just bring stuff and we'll put meals together from that. God knows none of this group ever starves. :w

RE: NW Thanksgiving Mini Rally Nov 27-28-29 2009
Yeah, taking a trailer or MH on the ferry is killer.
David, I doubt you're going to get a good deal on a tree out of Bob. He's trying to make his Yuma gas money and wouldn't shave off a penny for a dying man. :B (well, really I don't know that but you have to admit, it sounds good. :) )
SO... the pertinent question...what is everyone bringing for food and what are we doing Thanksgiving weekend other than eating and sitting around digesting? :) Everyone bringing their leftovers and pooling them? We'll bring an extra day-shade thing to supplement whomever's awning (mine isn't big enough for all of us so it'll be either Ryan or David's) since I don't think we can all fit inside one person's trailer. We could try, though. :B
I think asking Laura and David to cook breakfast for everyone without the benefit of a full-sized kitchen will be frankly too much to ask. Even though there are only six mouths to feed, we sure do eat a lot. That's a lot of pancakes, sausage and eggs. How about we do it in bits? Or not at all? What do you guys think?
I'm up for potlucking and pooling leftovers for the rest of it and for making a field trip to Fat Smitty's at some point, although if we're doing that, we likely should call first to make sure they're open. That's a long trip otherwise. If we get too bored, we can always road trip to my house (about 40 miles from Dosewallips). I have satellite TV and a hot tub. :w Stay away from my sheep, though. They're clean, virtuous girls. :B

From Dosewallips to the tree lot is about 40 miles, give or take. Should take just under an hour to get there. While we're in town giving Bob hell, we could stop by and see my sheep. :) I live about 4 miles from the tree lot.

The tree stand is on 305 in Poulsbo on the corner of 305 and Hostmark (I think). It is in the parking lot of the NW Design Center, across the street from a large Chevron station.
The place I was talking about was Snug Harbor and is about a mile north of FS on 101.

RE: Northwest Spring Rally, May 14-16, 2010
Yeah, too many "Laura"s around here, but only one of them plays with sheep and hunts racoons in her own back yard. :B :B But I think we also have a few Dave's and Bob's too.
If I knew more about how the slide works, I may have tried to fix it myself. But since we were out in the woods and no easy way to crawl under the trailer to see what might be wrong, we called it a day. Glad we weren't too far from home.
The sheep lady's electrical problems would probably be easier to fix though. :B
I don't hunt the raccoons; that's Tom's job. :)
The electrical problems in my trailer are trivially easy to fix with a good trade-in toward a better trailer. :B

RE: Northwest Spring Rally, May 14-16, 2010
Just got home from our shortest camping trip ever.
Found a spot, backed in, unhitched, hooked up the water and electrical, went to put the big slide out...and it wouldn't budge!!! Click, click, click, click. Like a starter motor going bad. Didn't want to try the manual override in fear if we got it out, maybe we couldn't get it back in. ... Oh well, maybe next weekend...if they get the trailer fixed in time.
Welcome to my world. :w :B

Linda, congrats on the new car! :)
Everybody else, I came out of my first and more minor surgery fine today. Based on the pathology reports from today, we figure out if I need the second one and if so, which type they'll do. I'm likely getting spayed for Christmas. :B

Thank you all of you who have served in our military to protect not only this country but other countries who needed our help. We all owe you for giving of yourselves for the rest of us. :)

Well Laura, since you and I are way older than Ryan and Beth, they must be the "cool kids" you're talking about. :B We could always use more of the well seasoned folks to join us too. :B
What seasoning are you? I think I want to be vinegar. :B

She should come with you to the Thanksgiving Mini Rally. :w Yes, that would be a nice outing for you both. :B We also need more people even though we already have all the cool kids signed up. ;)

Can we make it a No Turkey Allowed weekend? Tom will make me cook a turkey but I don't have to like it. :W

RE: Northwest Spring Rally, May 14-16, 2010
Ugh. Looks like I'm stuck with my crappy trailer for the duration. Seems I have unforeseen surgeries to contend with between now and Christmas. There goes my trailer money.
The procedures aren't life or death although one will be major. I'll talk more about it later if that's okay. I'm still processing what my doctor said to me today.

TRAGEDY!!!! I've lost my $20 gift card to Camping World!!!!!! :O
I think this is a sign that I likely need to clean my house.

Hobo, Sue is not going to be able to make the trip, it will just be ole Bob....
Oh great, I'm going to be there by myself with a bunch of old geezers talking about their Navy experiences. Please bring Holly at least so I can talk knitting and quilting and domestic stuff. :W

RE: NW Thanksgiving Mini Rally Nov 27-28-29 2009
I'd call before going, though. Fat Smitty's is somewhat sporadically open anymore. It is worth the trip if they're open.
If not, we could hit Snug Harbor. They're good, too and just a mile up the road toward Pt Angeles.

Uh, Hobo, I don't need Tom's permission to go hang out with my friends. :w. He'll be in New Jersey anyway.
I'll likely hit CW after lunch because I don't get up before the crack of dawn like the rest of you. I'll be skidding into lunch as it is. :B
