Hey we are getting closer!!
I will be there.
It will be odd, Tad not being out there.
I will once again do Dutch oven pies. Maybe something else.
Hope to see you out there!!

I can do mashed potatoes and not your mama's cream corn

I will be out for dinner, I will bring my wifes potatoes since I got crap last year for not bringing them last year lol.

Damn right!

I will be showing up. I plan on doing the Turkey again unless someone else is chomping at the bit to.

Derek and Miner will show up as well. Not sure what they will bring. Probably a desert.

I plan on showing up Thursday. I plan on bringing the Jeep but it is fighting me. It added to the oil leak and power steering leak a coolant leak. I decided to bite the bullet and swap out the timing cover (oil leak) and water pump (I think the coolant leak). I went to confirm base ignition timing before getting on the job and noticed the carb is leaking fuel. It's dripping off of the arm for the secondary vacuum and, frankly, appears to have been for a while. So now I get to figure that out too. I was hoping it's from the bowl but couldn't find it but it was getting late and dark.

If the Jeep isn't ready I'll bring the Colorado again.

we are going to bring cranberry sauce, deviled eggs , and a green bean casserole side dish

[heimeken]

The plan is to show up Friday morning. I'll bring a side or help out with the turkey...

Hey Mike - Are you still going Thursday? I might try if I can get everything ready in time.

Leave something hanging on a bush where to turn right into the spot you pick!

I think I can fit some firewood. I have 25 heavier paper plates and napkins for Sat dinner. For anyone there on Friday night, we'll have the traditional potato soup if anyone wants a bowl, or 2, or 3...

Unfortunately no. The Jeep fought me the entire way. I am taking it for a test drive tomorrow and if it is doing okay I will bring it otherwise the Colorado. But either way, I am showing up Friday.
