I am gonna try to make it up on Friday afternoon. Possibly brining another new to hammocking to try to convert to the dark side. I will bring several items for the raffle if I make it.

Wife decided I needed to bring some pulled pork BBQ so I just put some pork shoulders on the smoker. Now to make up some sauces.

Sorry that The Terminator's not going to make it.
Bacon is always good!

Hope you can make it.
It'd be good to see you and your convert there.

Looks like we should be good on food for the two group meals.

I know sometimes it's hard to decide what you're going to bring in advance but if you can add anything to the food page on the spread sheet, that would give us a better idea.

I don't think we have ever been short on food. Seams to always be more than enough.

We may have 30 or more in our group!

Is the water still turned on for drinking and are we still going to have hot showers available?

I just received a new order of paracord bracelet buckles. I plan to make two bracelets, one with a shackle and compass, and one with a small knife. I should have time to make them by the hang. If not I'll have time to make them while I'm there. I'll throw those in the raffle pot.

Oh man that might be changing our plans as a family. I will be monitoring the weather but hard to convince wife to go camping in rainy weather. Plus with the dog that is not good.
