During the pig roast I saw several people trying to be Tom impersonators. I want to know which of these guys came the closest to looking like Tom sitting on the pool house porch.

I don't think any of them came close to being Tom, but at least james had on the correct color shirt.

Dave, Kitty, and myself made it back to my Folks place in WV around 9pm this evening, they shot on down to their spread in Va.  I'm sure Dave will check in when he get a chance.  It was nice being able to ride along with them.

What a long drive ride.  I was hoping to meet the entire southern chapter, hopefully next year!

I had a great time, thanks to Jeff and Tammy for creating such a great website and to the members making it what it has become!

We're home and the car is unloaded.     What a great time it was!  8)     Really nice to see the returning members (and families)again and meet some new ones for the first time.    The ride with Dan Shade along was great.   I think we discussed ALL of the world problems and came up with solutions for about 6 of them.  ;D

Jeff and Tammy did a fine job of hosting and making everyone feel welcome.     smiley_clapping


And for our missing  french speaking north-of-the-border friend.  Next year,  eh eh

The contest was guessing the number of pine cones spruce cones in this clear plastic container about 500ml in size. About the cypherin part, I just did as a hillbilly does and guessed, but I heard that the Yooper borrowed a calculator.  I am not sure how the calculator helped, but he won by a large margin. I am thinking that he shut his eyes and just punched in some numbers. :D

Thank you Tammy and Jeff.  Jane and I had a wonderful time.  Roast piggy, great people,
and super weather, could'nt ask for more.  Thoroughly enjoyed the company and the conversations, just like old friends even though it was the first time for some.  Found that even though many miles separated us, we had many things in common.  Counting the days until next year.

Oh yeah, can't wait for those boxes to arrive from Wood-mizer   8)   8)   8)

Thanks to Jeff and Tammy and all of the donors of door prizes the Piggy Party was a great event as usual.  It was good to renew old acquaintances and make some new ones.  I hope everyone makes it home ok and the ones travelling on northward have safe trips.  Is the calendar going for next year yet? 8) 8) 8)
