And added to the description of broad.

If he shows up with a Mazdaspeed or any other turbo'd Mazda he parks in the comfort station lot. Preferably next to a hydrant

I see what you did there...

I was thinking more of canopies falling on it!

Speaking of which, we had a "little" storm just blow through. My trashcan was 3 houses down from us when I went to go look for it. It would have been a canopy killer. Warming said gusts up to 70 and pretty sure we were close to that here!

Don't be a stranger. Head on over for a visit. (all y'all) We don't have any crazy markers of flags etc. Just ask for Scotty p or "Dilts"
We usually have a 20+ person headcount in our campsite so there is plenty of food, shelter and beer (that is definitely not brought in from outside.) :halo:

Yeah, 2 days in a row here in Decatur at almost the exact same time, conveniently right at quitting time. But a high of 77 tomorrow means happy happy day for a Friday

I really appreciate it guys and i'll do my best to swing by just hope somebody will be around. It'll probably be Thursday since that's my walk around day I just have to pay attention to the Porsche GT3 Cup race a family friend is leading the masters points but other then that im going to get around a bit and going to be there threw night practice and if planning to hang out for a bit I will bring some food and drinks. I hope and pray the weather is better then the SVRA race last weekend at VIR I know y'all where there for the monsoon a few years back at Petit but I was tenting beside the pond and between 8:30 and 12 Saturday night 5 and a half inches of rain with wind gust up to 50mph and between pond flooding and tent blowing in that night was a disaster.

broadrun96 · 1 Oct 2018, 11:22 (Ref:3853793)

Yeah, a lot of camping gear was replaced after the last stormy Petit including most of the canopies that survived the rain but did not survive the windstorm the next morning. Hopefully better weather this year but it's looking DRY and dusty with maybe some rain to knock the dust down Tuesday morning a bit, sadly with the fun of late season humidity to make it just oh so fun and sticky in October.

I'm usually around camp most of the time or at the fence by the site. Although night practice usually includes a venture down to the pits to get hit by tire rubber as they exit the pits.

The extended outlook on weather dot com took a real nose dive.
AccuWeather is still looking good though. I hate this crap!!

Well it's weather channel and they seem to always think it will rain 10 days out. But it's just showers in the morning, I'll settle for dry Tues and Sun with occasional showers in the middle if nothing else to keep the dust down. Storms not so much but showers are tolerable. But I don't really give it much stock until Sunday and NOAA says dry air moving in next Monday so that's headed the right way after weekend rain

Weather schmether that's what they invented bourbon for. And rain gear.

True enough, I've got an 8 hour drive waiting for me.

Well and hopefully the (not an) Aussie grill.

(there's no grilling on so beer will have to do)

You made a claim about an entire day, good sir, and you were wrong. And those sheets contain a very nice natural musk, I'd like to add.

Touche, I did not specify early in the packing day or late in the unpacking. Post shower bourbon and unload the truck sounds like a great plan to me

Yup. Don't forget we'll be tying one on and howling at the moon after midnight.

Wait, no Aussie grill this year? Did somebody upgrade?

he's referring to my "non walkabout w/ no handle" grill. We shall call it a Kiwi grill.

That still ticks me off. Effing Lowes.

broadrun96 · 3 Oct 2018, 01:06 (Ref:3854206)

I might buy another with all of us there, Walmart has one for 40 bucks and I think we'll need the space. I have a new folding table for the grill, meats and tools.

I have the beans and HP sauce, getting loin bacon and sausages this weekend for those who are interested in a full English breakfast likely Friday morning. I will do eggs, tomatoes and mushrooms as well.

I will bring Boudin for sure and probably some other kind of sausage. I don't have a night on the menu for it but it is definitely to share but may only be an appetizer.

fieldodreams79 · 3 Oct 2018, 04:06 (Ref:3854218)

I love googling "boudin" and seeing the first question listed.

I'll eat it. Don't show me how it's made, please.

At least you have the important stuff covered.

Anyone local enough that is planning on going to the kickoff event in Suwanee on Tuesday night? I think a few of us are going to head up there.

Kickoff party
