If there is intentions on bringing family/wives, what not.. One of the things I have done for my wife was to drag her up to Traverse City. there are something like 20 winery's up there. so we drove around and smapled..

A guys/guys kid.. ect.. I still vote for Fletchers pound.. a camping and fishing trip..

Or, if you are all interested, Aug I have my annual Fox river trip.. you bring everything you want/need in the canoe with you.. YOu wont see anyone except your group for 4 days..

 

Why dont you, uh, go to the correct thread and post that stuff. =)

 

Perhaps if you looked back at your post here, you might understand where I was coming from...

 

Extended forcast says no snow and mid 20's for temps. it should be a great day.

Toyman

 

Just razzin ya pat. =)


Good on the weather!
If its just the 6 of us, that will make things easy!!

I have to make a phone call, so I'll put up a for sure schedule later this week.

 

Well, its 75% chance I will be there. Got to get a few side jobs done for the gas money. Being laid off sucks... I'll be in my 88 f-150 brown w/topper. I'll wash it incase you all want it in the photo... haven't washed it since October. Just got to crunch some numbers in my head since I get about 9.5MPG with her... Nice that gas prices are still low... *Knocks on some wood*

 

Well.... might as well as count me out. I got an idiot that is not wanting to pay me for working on his sled. What he doesn't realize is that I have the reg for the sled and its not in his name... SO i might have myself sled a free sled...

If I am able to go, I'll post here friday night.

 

pay ya a hundred for the sled when you get to frankemuth on Saturday....

 

You want to buy my bike too pat? hehehe


Okay. I'll shortly post a schedule.

 

Okay. I am thinking that we will meet up at dead Creek saloon. Its south out of town. If you are taking 23 to Frankenmuth and you get off at the birch run exit, it is on the way into town on the west side of the road. There will only be a few of us, so it wont be to big of a deal if there is a lot of people.

It looks like it will just be 5 or 6 of us.
I'ma run us over to the woolen mill to show you guys around. Unfortunately you guys cannot see the yarn machines running, cause they run skeleton crew on saturday. Which is a real bummer for you guys, the french comb and other things are really fun to watch. The machinery is all over 50 years old. I hope somebody will be there to explain how the stuff works, cause I'm not 100% sure on it yet.
If you want to suck up to the owner, bring him a cigar. =)
Bring your wallet if you want to buy any goods, they make all sorts of things from socks to bed spreads, pillows and what not. Wool socks are the bomb!!!!!!!

We can run over to the barvarian from there and park, then do whatever for a while and I'll say late lunch at 4, or maybe 3.30, I'm not sure how fast things are going to go for the day, but i figured we could split up and get back together for lunch. Then if we wanted go party in the beer tent after dinner. Or even go back to the dead creek saloon, which is a good place. Or even go eat there if you guys dont want to eat at the barvarian.
I'm not going to try and set a really strict schedule for this seeing as only a few of us are going to be there. But we can all decide if we want to hang out as a group, or if we want to split up as well. There are some ice carving competitions and such to watch, and beer to drink and things to look at.
I was hoping we would get more people so we could get a cool truck shot with everyone, but I'll take what we get and bring the tripod and we can line the trucks up and take a group photo for the websight. =) well. no websight, but on here.
I Guess this isn't really a big meet up, but its a chance for a few of us to get together if we can and meet eachother. And as well have a good time with the wife, if you got her with ya. Which mine isn't comming, well she's not my wife. Uh... haha. I wish. She's a hottie. But gotta work. =(

You guys who are comming I hope all have my phone number. If you do not have my phone number, PM me on here and send me your phone number and I will call you. Then we will have eachothers number. =)

I hope more then Rich and Pat can attend, but if not, I'm sure the 5 of us will have a jolly time. If you do plan on attending and have not posted yet, please post ASAP so I can have sufficient reservations at the barvarian for late lunch.

I will shortly post the Event list for the day, maybe we can make some different plans before then.

Well, tomorrow my buddy is going to standish to the casino cause of the free $20.00 for all club card members.... So I going to hitch a ride with him an go and see if I get lucky. Last week his dad got 78.00 out of a dollar machine with his 20.... maybe I can get lucky too.

 

Save your money from the casino. put it in your tank and come and play with us. It will be much more fun.

 

thats what I'm doing... putting my player club card in a 1 dollar machine, putting the whole 20 from the card on it and I'm going to run it 20 times.... what i get is going in the tank. I should do good cause I haven't been there since last october, so the computer show tell that I haven't been there and give me a nice payout in hopping that I stay there.... But I wont. lol.

 

William, what time do you want everyone to meet. You talked about lunch, but didn't say what time you wanted to meet up for a photo and whatnot
