Sawing project 2023

[Magicman]

The actual vision of Jake in Spandex is far worse than any dream could ever be.  

And then there is that sawdust itch thing....

The actual vision of Jake in Spandex is far worse than any dream could ever be.  

That's what I'd call a "bad visual".....   :D

[chet]

This is one situation we absolutely don't needs pics ta prove it. :D :D :D 

[doc henderson]

Mankini?  google is not your friend.  go ahead!  you can never unsee it!  

[Old Greenhorn]

Thanks Doc, but I'll take a pass on that one and just take your word for it. ;D ;D

[fluidpowerpro]

Is it going to be warm enough to invite the Woodmizer bikini team?

[barbender]

 I think the Woodmizer bikini probably would be a bunch of dudes from the shipping department in Speedos or something like that. Be careful what you wish for😂

 I always threaten a couple of my younger sisters that I'm going to get one of atrocious mankinis and show up at the beach they're at. It makes them pretty nervous because they know I would be mortified to wear something like that, unless it was in the act of embarrassing them horribly😂😂

Lord y'all sure know how to derail a subject.
To get back on track why don't y'all start discussing who is bringing what to pitch in. I don't think much has been offered yet other than BBQ. Remember if you can't or don't want to bring anything and want to just contribute in the donation can than that is fine. I'll throw out a partial list of things that is always needed. Keep in mind that most that are showing up know how to eat. There will be lunch and evening meals two days in a row. If you are offering to bring things like plates and napkins keep in mind how many will actually get used in those couple of days. I think there is close to 70 so far on the list and then there is always some locals that aren't on the forum so at this time there is around 100 or a few more coming. Anything that we run short of is not a problem as there is a little grocery store 4 miles down the road. Looking forward to seeing everyone.

Cases of drinks. (No matter the flavor they are all called Cokes in the south unless it's bottled water.)
Paper plates
Plastic ware
Napkins (no one ever just grabs one)
Side dishes
Desserts
Snacks
About anything else that someone else might like to bring.

[Nomad]

     I'm coming Thursday.  I'll bring enough plastic utensils for the whole shindig.  (I'll bring a hundred or so bowls, too.  Nobody ever thinks about those.)

[moosehunter]

Thanks for bringing us back Jake, I was about to cancel my reservations!
I will bring a few cases of something other than cokes as I don't drink soda and am sure others are the same. Probably Gatorade. And tea. I like tea.

[Old Greenhorn]

Dennis Stephen, and I are flying in, so maybe we can check in at the last minute with you to see what you are still missing and fill in with that which I assume we can find somewhere in Dublin?

[Patrick NC]

I can bring 10 or so cases of various coke/Pepsi products.  Or a cash donation.  Whichever works best.

[Magicman]

A personal family conflict developed yesterday that will prevent Pat & I from attending the Project. 

We were looking forward to this event especially since so many "new" attendees will be there but this could not be avoided.  A week either way would have been OK, but.....

Heck, I spent yesterday planing and "labeling" Mystery Wood samples.   ???

[Old Greenhorn]

Very sorry to hear this Lynn. I was very much looking forward to hooking up again. I do hope everything is OK at home with you folks.

[YellowHammer]

Well, that's a shame, but you got to do what you got to do.

[RichTired]

I will bring a couple hundred solo type cups, Paper plates and paper towels.
And a couple of cases of family friendly soft drinks.

[fluidpowerpro]

Sorry to hear that Lynn. I was looking forward to meeting you. Take care.

[caveman]

I'm planning on cooking for some of the kids at school on 4/11.  I'll probably throw a few extras (probably some potatoes and some pork) on the smoker that day for us to bring.  We'll have to reheat them on a grill or oven.  I'll likely have a few cases of waters and some extra ice.  My wife can probably be convinced to make a dessert.  If tables are needed, let me know.  I have 6-8 folding tables I can bring.

MagicMan, I was looking forward to seeing you and Mrs. Pat again this year.  

Someone may want to bring name tags or maybe we should start posting pictures of ourselves here (not in spandex of course).

[TroyC]

Name tags would be great, nice to put Forum name on a face at the event! I'll check Costco and the Dollar store.

[doc henderson]

good to see real name and handle to put the two together.

[customsawyer]

If y'all don't know me by now than I give up.
All jokes aside I hate to hear about that Lynn.
There is no wrong or right thing to bring. I've never seen any one attending this even that spit something out.  Dang even brought chickens feet one time. I didn't see any one take a bite but they didn't spit it out either. Any number of things can be brought. Tater salad, coleslaw, God only knows what else. Of course you don't have to bring anything just don't want to double up on things that don't need to be.

[GAB]

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".

[trimguy]

We will bring potato salad.

[YellowHammer]

We always bring genuine Alabama flavored Tennessee Bar B Que.

Name tags - might need that - I have a tendency to quietly blend in with the crowd and go unnoticed.  So I'll be the guy wearing the hat.    

[TroyC]

Last year I got to the project and lurked around. Finally recognized Doc but he had no beard. Took me awhile to figure out who Danny was, kept looking for the hound dog. Jeff and Jake were easy. Yellowhammer wasn't too hard to figure out, met a few other members. Made my mind up that I'd bring name tags this year so I would not have to keep asking people who they are..........
