BTW and FYI - those of you/us who saw commercially, keep up with/document your expenses as they are tax deductible for training/professional development purposes. My tax preparer told me a few years back including my wife in such trips was also deductible. (Maybe she is listing her as my business associate?)

Should we be bringing our own chairs? I think I stopped at Walmart in 2019 to get one.

Suggestion: Bring business cards.  It was at a Pig Roast that I got MM's business card that I used when I needed an autographed box of GRITS for Ray.  For a good read look up "Crime does pay".

Well took a glance at the weather for the project this morning. Looks like the Masters this weekend is getting the not so good weather and ours will be nice. Lows will be around 60 and the highs in the mid 80s. You glaciated northern folks should probably bring your long johns for the evening temps. Of course this is if they aren't lying to us. We all know the further out the forecast is the more likely it is to be wrong. Should make for a great couple of days.

Well Jake, since I signed on I have been checking your weather daily and your nighttime lows are still 10-15° warmer than our daytime highs and your daytime highs are 15-20° (or more) higher than ours. I'll leave my lined pants at home. :D
 Regardless of the weather, it will be a great couple of days, no doubt. This has been on my list for years and long overdue.
 Now that we are getting close, is there anything you are coming up short on or have a need for? We are flying in, so there is a limit on what we could bring, but I assume stuff can be shipped also.
 Counting the days here. :)

It's been a long time since I've flown (before the plague at least). Can somebody tell me for domestic flights what is allowed in liquids now? I had thought the 1oz. travel bottles were OK, but these days who knows? Just thinking shampoo, etc. Also need my hydrocortisone cream (still can't shale that rash from wood). Any other stupid restrictions I should be aware of?

For those of you who have not booked rooms yet (I just did ours this afternoon due to being a slacker trying to juggle way too many balls), you may want to enquire about discounts.  At the Quality Inn, we were able to get a bit of a break by asking for a AAA and a construction discount.  

Last week, while staying in a hotel in Florida, I asked for the state rate (school job related) and it saved the school system $32/night for three rooms for two nights.  Often, there are a variety of prices for the same room.  

We'll be leaving the infernal, traffic congested peninsula dark and early next Thursday morning.

I don't need anything at all. I just put it out there for those that it means something to to (Tom) bring something. Drop a few green things in the donation can and we are all good. Over the years of Danny and I providing this thing we normally come out in the hole a little bit and we would always split it out of the wood sales. If we come up short again it isn't the end of the world as I know I don't have the travel expenses that the rest of you do. I host this because I enjoy it. If I make a buck so be it. If I lose a couple than that is fine. My main goal is that we all have a good time and learn something. Haven't failed yet. Of course most of the learning is coming from those that are here and sharing. I just have the "stuff" for them to teach on.

Richard, thanks for that link, it set me straight. Hopefully I am good.
 Jake, I really appreciate what you do to put this on and know you wouldn't keep doing it if it weren't fun.  Still having done a few things like this and taken on the money burden in the process, I don't think it's fair that you open your doors, home, and business to us unwashed masses and also bear any the cost. I will be dumping as heavily into the can as I can because I appreciate this more than the average person would understand. The knowledge gained is nearly priceless and the 'feel good' is even more valuable.
 Heck, I even went to Walmart and bought a new shirt today!

A new shirt?!! I'm not sure I can live up to that high of a standard!

No pressure at all. A small confession in total confidence: as much as I love my wife and she is a great homemaker, cook, financial whiz, Mom and a bunch of other stuff, she just can't seem to get my works clothes very clean. They are 'clean' but the stains and dirt show over time and I only get new stuff in long intervals. So I haven't bought a shirt in years except for a hickory shirt I bought last year and it now has a permanent dinge to it. I want to look somewhat presentable. I shouldn't even tell you that I bought new underwear also because it been over ten years since I have been in a Walmart.
 No, there's no pressure. I could fly down, enjoy the company of my traveling companions, go to the sawmill and sit on a stump and meet folks, catch up with others, and just talk, and it would be a great weekend.

There's only been a few come here with new cloths and we make them stand by the cooler. Don't want them to make the rest of us to look bad.

Well, assuming the cooler is where the beer is kept, I could probably live with that. :D Actually I doubt my new shirt would stand out at all, honest. It's just a shirt. I will wear regular work jeans and shoes. Likely, given the weather forecast, I will be in t-shirts anyway and the new shirt won't even get seen. Guess I should have never mentioned it. ;D

I've been wearing insulated Carhartts and a parka for so long that I've forgotten what's under there. Jeff, it's called winter fashion - it's not a deficit if it's warm. 😊 
I've been using ice roads for a few weeks now.
