We having a meet anytime soon?
 

If I had a house or place to offer for it I would but if someone could host it and enough ppl had interest I would be more than happy to bring drinks, food, or throw in some money or something. Either that or if someone needs help with a project or something and ppl wanted to help out that'd work too:)
If someone wants to supply the village I'll bring the idiot!:-X21

I'm in...How about it tom??

count me and sue in we love a good get together!!

Looks like 4 so far...come on guys

well, it sounds like a good plan.

but i am out of service for at least the next month, so basically all i can do is be moral support unless the docs come up with some kind of magic pill.

Where, when????

Go ahead Steve take the lead on this one.

Atlantic City, Cape May, somewhere in between? I don't know you guys decide.

Anyone who has a better back than I are welcome to come tomorrow and dig!

FTE DIG PARTY! LMAO

I'm up to any ideas or places.What's not to far for you george?

i really really don't think anyone is gonna show up.:-missingt

and i got fifty cents that says if i come up there, your wife will be gone when i get there also.

I wouldn't blame them, but it never hurts to ask, right?

It's sunday, just me and the "boo". The problem is my son likes to dig also, except he likes to dig in the large pile next to the hole, and dump it into the hole, whereas I'm doing the reverse.

Just glad my shovel is larger :D

When your ready to fill up the hole,you got that part covered.

Sadly, I thought all my gutters were plumbed together and went to a single, large well.

It seems each leader feeds it's own underground plumbing and dry well. The two dry wells I dug up so far are pitiful. One's a plastic thing full of pebbles with barely enough capacity for a good long piss. The other is a large pipe thrown into the ground vertically that's about 8' long, with no percolation holes that I could see while danging a super-bright LED flashlight down there on a string. And, it smelled like rotting racoon flesh. Bleah. Though the vertical pipe one confused me, because I pumped 600 gallons per hour for 3.5 hours before the length of hose I shoved down there wasn't long enough. So, I'm not sure if there's a tank there or not, or maybe it's just so far down I haven't hit it with the shovel yet.

And you're right, with all the dirt, rocks, bricks, gravel I've uncovered thus far, there's no shortage of backfill material. I'll just have to sort the debris so the larger pieces go in and the stupid annoying pebbles (and dirt) stays out.

Fun!

just think how strong your arm muscles will be after you dig the front yard up.

i got an even better idea.

have lynn draw a crude treasure map, and when the neighbors ask what you are doing, show them the map, and offer to split the treasure with them once you find it.

your hole will get dug in no time.:-kneeslap

Steve, just set it up for a time and place that suits you since you are hosting.

Give the members at least 30 days advance notice. Make sure there is good food available. Try to keep the travel time one way down for most of the members you think would attend.

It doesn't matter to me, I would try to make it anywhere except the very northern part of the state. You may even be able to get some PA FTE'rs to come also. I would guess travel time one way of two hours max would work for most that really want to be part of the NJ chapter.

Tom what do you think?
