The Mayor and I will be unable to attend. We recently evicted the renters in our rental house. I never knew that people would actually live like these people did. Hazmat suits all around. The neighbor informed us that at one time they had 5 BIG dogs living in the house. Brand new carpet 2 years ago, couldn't tell it by this. Could barely hold my breath long enough to run in and open some windows. Airing out nicely now. Lots of work to do in a short amount of time.


We'll be up to Eagle though for sure. Time off has already been approved, and a bottle of "EAGLE RARE" will be coming along as well. My apologies to sfisch, as that I know he is in the process of acquiring a taste for whiskey, as that this is a fine 10 year old Kentucky bourbon.

[sfisch]

Mark,
Sorry about your renter problems and that you can't make the meeting.
I will anxiously be waiting the arrival of the "Eagle Rare". Oh boy.

[Capt Dan]

well guys, this nasty sinus cold/bronkitis is kickin my ass. If I don't feel a whole lot better in the morning, I will not be making the trip. I don't want to get anyone else sick, and its no fun carrying around a kleenex box.

Bubba, If I don't make it, just PM or email me with the amount I need to send to have you ship my order via the postal service.

I was really hoping to see everyone.:(

[tearl42]

Wow, that sucks dude. Hope you feel better!

[Rich Parker]

Anybody meeting for lunch before this shing ding?

Sorry to hear you aren't feeling well. If you are going to be in GR in the next week or two I could pick up your order for ya. Let me know.

Are you saying we need to bring a cot and sleeping bag, or at least a recliner?

[Rich Parker]

Excellent meeting and can't wait to use some of these new rubs.
