As of right now myself,Jay and Tom are for sure that I know of. There are a couple others that will know closer to the date. Then there are a few that are going to try and stop by for a day. Sure hope you can make it Jason!

Lee I am not sure if he made resrervations yet. We could always have another camping gtg later on. If we are free I am always up for camping! Throw some dates out that would work for you.

Troy, perhaps you'll have a BTS install party?

Troy, I was joking, but I am also always up for camping. That weekend is one of the few where I could not change plans to make it. I will try and stop by Friday afternoon and then on Sunday morning for sure.

I would be more than happy to organize another GTG or help Tom or whomever else if that is how it works. Have any of you guys ever camped at Carlos State Park? It is right on the lake and pretty nice and has electric. It is just north of Alexandria, so not very far for you Troy, and kind of centrally located for a lot of people, but if anyone has suggestions anywhere in the state, I am in.

I know of quite a few other state park & forest campgrounds where we could all be together, it is most do not have power and none have sewer or water, but i have a Honda generator and three batterys and am set up for it.

I will bring my boat so we can fish or tube.

Just a thought.

Yeah Thomas I am hoping for the BTS install party. I should know for sure here in the next week or so if I have the money!

Lee we have camped at Carlos before and really liked it. We have what I call a family boat we could get also if we were on a lake. If we have a lot of people an extra boat might be nice also. There are alot of state parks that are fun to camp at so that would be great or where ever anybody wants to go we would be in. I also have access to a generator.

Can't complain Troy. Every day is busy at work latley. After I leave I need to put the engine back in my Zero-turn lawn mower. I will be glad when that is done and it runs, I hope.

So did you blow the motor in the mower or time for a new motor? I just bought my brothers mower when he moved to the cities its JD GT235 a little big for my yard but the deal was right and it came with a bunch of extra attachments.

I had a head gasket leaking, and the valves needed to be lapped. I have a big commercial unit for the 5+ acres that I mow. Bought it used 4 years ago. After I took it apart, I could see the bad head gasket, just hope the rings are good. A new motor is $1950.
