Re: MRE Symposium and Meetup, Part 2
I'm getting ready to head out to Doswell
Tomorrow morning I hop on a flight that'll get me to Virginia later on tomorrow night, then it's a short journey to the Best Western King's Quarters - is anyone else staying there besides Steve1989 and I?
I've got live streaming pretty much figured out now and am just working on refining it a bit more before Saturday. Can't wait to meet all of you that make it out there!

Re: MRE Symposium and Meetup, Part 2
Hey guys. I ran into a little snag. Apparently the school calendar has been updated since the one that I received at the beginning of the school year. Long story short, they are out of school for "teacher work days" Thursday and Friday, as I found out yesterday when I picked him up from school to be greeted by "have a good weekend". WHAT?!
This throws a little wrench in my plans, as now I will have my son until evening on Friday and cannot catch my 0725 flight Friday morning. Those of you who know me know my son has special needs, so it's not as simple as getting a sitter.
His mom is scrambling today to try to free herself up early from her work commitments on Friday so I can maybe switch to the 1330 flight. Not a lot of flight options, a Billings is a fairly small airport compared to big cities. Keep your fingers crossed for me. I don't want to miss this!!!

Re: MRE Symposium and Meetup, Part 2
Can't wait to see all of you folks!
I will probably have 2 cases of MREs to trade (need to check the dates and menus) and I have some expired Sweet Sue Chili for a good home (I had one a few months ago - it was passable and i got gassy, but hey, it's chili).
Is there an agenda for Sat/Sun?
I didn't see one and have some commitments on Sat AM and didn't want to miss anything really cool.
Also, are there any plans for a social on Friday night?

Re: MRE Symposium and Meetup, Part 2
So far, the only plans I know about for sure are for Saturday night. But I'm game for a Friday night pre-social if you guys are! Housil and I will be at a cabin at the campgrounds so I'd volunteer to invite everyone to meet over there...or I don't know what kind of setup BlackDogBob will have nearby.Dekard wrote:Also, are there any plans for a social on Friday night?

That sucks man, and I understand some of what it is like to have a child with special needs. Hope everything works out for you.
I really wish I could make it to Doswell. As it is, I'm going to share some pictures, and hopefully be able to post some videos of the event I'm going to this weekend. If everything goes well. Which many are telling me, despite my apprehension, that I am ready and will be ok. Y'all can start calling me Sir RabidWolf.

CV-10 at Patriots Point. I actually got to spend a week on her back in Boy Scouts, we were allowed to camp right on the ship. It was awesome.housil wrote:I´m so excited about!
