Wow, Mark, you're the lucky one...

cheers, Thomas

Aw, gee, you made me blush. Just so the rumor mill doesn't start again, Mark is married and was a complete gentleman last year and I have a special someone in my life.

Laura, i know that.
Mark told me only good things about you, when he stayed with me here in germany.

So folks, there is absolutely no reason for rumors of any kind !!!



He's the lucky guy, though...

cheers, Thomas

I think I'm just a bit late but that sounds good to me, Laura. You have to excuse me as I have been really busy and unable to check the forums lately.

Thanks for all you are doing, Laura!!

Hey Thomas!

How are those little pussies of yours making out these days?

Cheers

Just so the rumor mill doesn't start again,

Aww. We hadn't had any fun yet.

Mark and I were bad keeping it going last year, it was kind of fun.

<waves to Mark>

Not nearly bad enough..

[mark waves back to Laura]

Hi Mark,

they are fine. Two of them gone to a new family, the grey twins seem to stay with me, as i havn't found someone yet.

[Kittens waving to Mark]

btw, do you miss some clothing? They stole something from you, i think.

cheers, Thomas

Itinerary for Cincinnati Meet

Friday evening:

Go to the lodge and they will give you the cabin #’s that you are assigned to (I will leave a list at the lodge and they will have your keys there). Once you are settled in your cabins, meet at HQ (my cabin) for a nice dinner and brownies. I will bring my computer and docking station so anyone can plug in their empeg for music.

Saturday morning:

Meet at HQ for a home cooked breakfast.

Saturday afternoon:

We will meet at the lodge at 12:00 for lunch with the competitions to follow. Please park at the very top of the lodge parking lot where they are permitting us to play our music. Last we will draw for the door prizes, most people should be able to win something. And this year I promise not to hold things up by locking my keys in my van.

After the prizes have all been given out we will meet at the lakes marina. For those wishing to, there are boat rentals (paddle boats, canoes and rowboats). There is also a sand volleyball court and I am trying to get hold of a corn hole game to bring. There is an area for Frisbee throwing and a beach also so there should be enough to do. Boats have to be brought back by 5PM I believe.

Saturday evening:

There will be a cookout at HQ. Mark will be among the master chefs. Party time.

Sunday morning:

For those who are up, we can meet at the lodge around 9AM for their Sunday Breakfast Buffet and pig out. Checkout time is 11AM (I think) so we will need to be ready to leave then. We can go hunt for a geo-cache nearby, for those into this look and see where there is one located besides the one we found last year. After that we can drive off for lunch somewhere.


The weather will be turning more fall like that weekend so bring some warm clothes or check the weather before you come. All plans are subject to change of course if people come up with something better

The Itenerary sounds great, Laura, thank you for putting this together! I'm looking forward to it.

I plan on hitting SEVERAL geocaches during this outing, so between Drakino and I we oughta have that angle covered quite well!

I'm also totally floored by the prize list -- a 6GB MkII ?? Wow!

Looking forward to this weekend (again!).

Cheers

[waves to Laura, and blows kisses]

I am sooo jealous. Too bad there aren't enough folks to have a meet in the southeast corner of the US.

I have a GPS to bring that I borrowed from my brother. I just haven't learned to use it yet, I'm sure you guys will explain it to me

[waves back and catches the kiss]

You could always drive up, we'd find a place for you to sleep.

Hmmm... As my wife barely understands my addiction as it is.... I think it would be severely detremental to my long term relationship!

Plus 822 miles is quite a haul to do twice in one weekend. Otherwise, I really wish I could go.

Looking forward to this weekend (again!).

Me too; Has to be better than this weekend was.

Hm. I wonder if I want to come in rmitz's car and disqualify myself from the install contests.

Probably

Itinerary for Cincinnati Meet

I was browsing around on the Hueston Woods site and noticed they have a paintball site in the park. Would anyone be interested in playing? I've never played but always wanted to.

Any takers? It seems that there may be a few hours Saturday morning or Saturday evening when there isn't much planned.

Just an idea...

Unfortunately guys I'm going to miss this weekend.... after much shuffling of bills and days off it just isn't going to work...

I will add though, if you've never played paintball its well worth your time. It would also be more fun to start with folks that haven't played much. Playing with someone who plays all the time is like being a newbie on a clan server.... frag city....

It's run by a club and you need to set up a time and a group # before they will do it. We would need to know pretty quickly if people want to do this. I'm not sure of the cost but it would be kind of fun.

Maybe next year you will be able to make it.

I just called to ask about the paintball and it is open on the weekends and we could make a reservation for a certain time. But the cost is $27 per person so I don't know how many want to fork that much out.

I'll pass, thanks.

Does anyone at the Meet want a dock?

I could bring one or two with me if there's a market for them.
Reduced price, and no shipping..

Last chance.

I'll pass, thanks.

I think most will say that with the cost factor. I can't really afford to play paintball though I would love to, the cabins and food will cost enough plus my $400 plumbing bill over the last two days isn't helping matters

I have a Garmin GPS 12 to use, BTW, that now turns on after replacing the batteries

[waves to Mark]

Don't talk to me about plumbing bills. If we can ever manage to get a plumber here who is able to deal with my natural gas provider's system legally, I'm sure a nice large one will follow.

In the meantime, icy cold showers.
