Barbie and I will be in our usual booth # C-5 the first Friday - Monday.  We'll probably head back home on Tues.  We make 95% of our sales the first weekend.  It's just not profitable spending 5 more days there trying to make that last 5%.

I'm going on Saturday. Bringing the wife, a nephew, my brother-in-law and my shooting buddy (his first time). I am looking forward to getting there and spending the day! Maybe even picking up some items for a couple of projects ;D. Counting the days.

I'm headed to Friendship on Sunday.  Most of the fellows I want to talk to will be there then.  I have a couple of experiment/projects to check with folks on.  I'd like to find a way to time a percussion lock.

I'm not going.  My son has chosen the weekend of the 20th to get married, in New Orleans, in the middle of the hurricane season.  Perfect way to start a marriage......wipe out all the in-laws so they don't have to worry about them later.

I think I've made my  last trip down there. Hey Don, will you pick up my sign for me? I'd gladly pay you to ship it to me.

Say, any of you boys smithies? Or, if not smithies per se, were you otherwise trained in the metallurgic arts before straitened circumstances forced you into a life of aimless wanderin'?

I plan to be there the first weekend. I have now decided to setup in the same booth that I had in the Spring.
Hope I have enough to sell to justify the expense.

I do believe I will be going for the first few days. I am waiting until my better halfs work schedule comes out & try to get her there with my boy. They would have fun, if it doesnt rain that is.

Well, I've talked my wife into going!  I'll probably be sorry if it's anything like the fall shoot last year, 95 degrees and Sunny.  It's her first time there.  I may have her read some of Foxfire 5 that talks about the Friendship Shoots. 

Don, I hope you guys head over, I'd really like to meet you in person. 

Jim, I'll have my finished York Rifle that I purchased from you last year.


I'll be on the look out for couple of barrels for projects I have lined up.
