Glad to hear we're a go for BR-III in BG. Can't wait to do it again next year. We'll plan on staying Friday and Saturday nights this time!

Marcus said he might teach a detailing class next year. Those bringing their cars (and anybody else for that matter!) could raffle off a chance for THEIR car to be the car that gets the full detailing job on it.

well, i made cutting board for Dixievet as a thanks for his hard work cooking, and IC got a new ban hammer, and i had 3 other projects that were due by the time BR II happened, so i kind of ran out of time to think up and make anything for an auction.

now i have about 11 months to plan and make something. any suggestions?

my next project is our new kitchen.

Marcus was a freaking "machine" at BRII.
I got tired just watching the kid go at it for car after car. Good thing I had a chair and an adult beverage to keep me from getting totally exhausted!

while i dont have a vette, i would like to attend one of these barn raisings. I would also like the wife to attend, but her health isnt as good as it used to be. She doesnt have a problem with me attending, but it isnt the same. She used to talk to alot of folks on the other forum. I would like her to at least meet some of the folks she used to talk to. She dont party like we used to so thats another reason she doesnt want to attend. but... i got a whole yr to convince her otherwise. no promises .

You don't HAVE to make it a "high anxiety" thing, for either of you. She can come and enjoy what she wants, and go back to the room to relax, or whatever. Don't HAVE to be out there 24/7!!

Take your time, enjoy the ride, enjoy the camaraderie, enjoy the time spent with others that WILL enjoy YOUR time. You can spend as much (or as little) time with us as you'd like. BUT, be guaranteed, we WILL enjoy your (both of your) company!

Chris, i'm Pretty sure both of those (mammoth cave and barren lake) are in dry cities/counties-but i could be wrong. If they are, then likely no beer trailer. Not that it matters to all, but i know it's mighty important to a lot of the group. I can find out for sure if needed.
I don't think any place will be found that will take better care of the group (as a whole) than Michael at the hampton does. JMO, (and i may be a bit biased because he's a friend of mine), but he knows what to expect and welcomes it. Most places would not be nearly as tolerant, especially if they haven't had the group before.

And I went to nine Cruise-In's
