Chatham, NY. My trip's actually the farthest, because von Aschwege will come to my house, then talk my ear off all the way down. This will turn a four hour ride into an eternity.

Chester, VT. Sounds like there should be a good show from the northeast.

Tom,  I thought at your age the hearing would be failing. Just don't look at his lips moving.  ;D

Eh?

I will rig up a headband with two ear horns. Like a PC set of hearing aids.

HA, you guys are terrible.  Tom, considering the few times a year we see eachother, I just want to make the 4 hour trip last as long as possible ;)!  Admit it though, you have fun once we're at the hotel:

 

Can't wait to see you all there!

Oh, $#@*, I forgot about that photo.

Really, Eric photoshopped the whole picture. I would never do a silly thing like that.

See what I mean? It's going to be a loooong weekend.

As I swelter in the Virginia heat and humidity, watching my WEBELOS scouts spend half a day with a forester earning an activity badge, followed by a service project, followed by a land nav exercise, followed by scout cooked dinner (yummy), with nary a drop of Yuenglings to be found to remove the lumps and bumps from under my sleeping bag, I will be thinking of you guys.

Alas, I will not be there.  At least physically.  If you notice a cold beer bottle that you swear was full just a minute ago, blame it on me!

Please take lots of pictures.  Like the one of Cap'n Tom. Arrrrghhhhh.

Gaylord Mi. 12 plus hour trip, aren't ya glad yer not this far away Acer. Yeungleong(sp)  Yum,Since we don't have it up here, let's see two beers a day times one year divide by twelve.  Hope I have room for guns, and parts after I get the beer in the Jeep.  It's as bad as going to Norris, and making a Bourbon stop in Lexington Ky.

When going to Dixon's, stow an umbrella or slicker in the car.

Also an oily rag to wipe down the barrels you buy.
