Going to be leaving for the campground today as soon as everyone gets ready to go. My wonderful wife was able to get us the last spot available in the state. Gonna be a four day weekend for us and the kids, bike riding, fishing, and just relaxing....oh yah.....probably a few adult beverages too. We were going to go 4-wheeling at some point but woke up to rain this AM and more is suppose to come so that will probably be out.

Camping on memorial day weekend is NUTS around here...so we're just staying down in town and having a big garage sale at my house...with BBQ and adult beverages of course. Maybe we'll make enough to pay for the BBQ and adult beverages...

Well, remember that 14'x70' mobile home I dragged off to our Property way back when, I am hearing rumors that I might just be going up to use it.. If thats the case, cold beer+fishing+campfires+Possible meeting up with some FTE folks in the Michigan Chapter+hopefully alot of "Up North" jobs that I just the love the hell out of.

I was thinking about going camping with my buddy, but .... hmmmm... lots of kids will be there, and none I can get away with swatting!! Only one of them is trouble, but he can make up for the rest....

A garage sale isn't a bad idea... but I've only got a 32" CRT TV to sell, and my g/f has an air hockey table that needs to go...

Maybe I'll try to put on my CCK kit this weekend - I've been hemorrhaging cash like a champ lately...

Just think of it as "stimulating the economy..."

...

I'd shy away from the camping..or be prepared to spend a lot of time sitting on I-70.

Sorry again about the phone calls. I think I am socially overstimulated lately....I ignore my phone when I get off work. Even Randy has a hard time getting me on the phone lately.

He's planning on going somewhere up north...near where we went elkhunting this past year. You go on dirt roads mostly, up in to Wyoming, then cut back down in to CO... I wasn't driving, so that's the best I know.

yeah, you're stingy with the phone-time... i'm just not feeling the love... hahahaha

My plan is to leave Sat. afternoon after all the morons over-run the highway system Friday night. Plus, I own some land in South Park (let the cartoon jokes begin ) and it's waaaaaay away from civilization. Plus, I can do whatever I want without someone next to me thumpin' his radio or complaining about my 4-wheelers making too much noise.

Sounds like a pretty good plan. Worst part about the "camping holidays" are all the yups who decide one day to go camping and think they can tell us to stop riding our ATV's....

We do anyway. We shoot our guns too (legally of course). That usually scares them off. Go "enjoy nature" in your LL Bean hiking boots somewhere else.

Southpark huh? That sounds pretty neat. I'd jump on the chance to own some land down in the Taylor area.

yeah, you're stingy with the phone-time... i'm just not feeling the love... hahahaha
Sorry. I know. You're not the only one who has left me messages in the past week. I dunno what my problem is.

Yeah, my buddy has taken off Friday and will be heading out before noon to get out there, claim an area (it's all open-space) and get setup. Then it's just a matter of settling in to wait for everyone else to show up.

Part of me wants to go, but another part just wants to get the house completely settled, wire up my foglights (finally), wash & wax the vehicles, polish them up to remove some scratches.... ya know, catch up on my projects
