Good morning everyone.

Sorry to hear about the roof John, those aren't cheap! My house needs a new roof and my landlord is procrastinating, presumably due to the cost.

If you filled the bouncy house with tilted kilt waitresses you could charge a hefty admission.

But then I need to pay taxes on that income and it just becomes a drag. Maybe I will accept donations instead.

If you need a roofing referral, I can certainly give one, John.

What do you guys think about Saturday 5/30 at my place, probably early afternoon-ish? Burgers, brats, beer, etc. 5/31 can be a rain date if needed but can handle that once we are close enough to be able to guess the weather. I just need to solidify a date so that I can make sure things are ready in time. Plan would be that wives, family, etc are more than welcome.

5/30 isn't a great date for me. I'm taking that week off and will likely be in New Hampshire. If that's what everyone else decides I'll try and make it work though.

Well I know I can't do any weekends before then, we are fully booked. Throw some other dates out there and lets see if the majority can come to a consensus.

Saturdays are going to be a no-go for me for the rest of summer. Looks like I'm being put on a job scheduled for six 12s. Sundays would be the only day I could potentially make it but obviously no need to schedule around me. Just throwing it out there.

Agree with Pete. We are working two Saturdays per month through August, and the only two dates I'm sure of are May 2nd and 16th. Sundays are pretty open for me.
