Joe's one of my best friends and I can attest that he is a bit of a procrastanator. Umm, so likely that he hasn't. If I see him sometime soon I will bug him about it.

Counting down the days! How many are there?

Can't wait to see all the riggs for information and ideas.
This should work out great! Due to health reasons and bizzier then usual at work there was no time to work on the TD last year but with this event I should get a good start this year.

Hope the see all of you sooooooooooooon!!!!!

Bruce:
I haven't counted the days but I know you're not alone patiently awaiting CNTL.
I think we are up to about 16 trailers now so you should get plenty of ideas.

Jim:
Thanks for the update Jim.
I'd like to take this opportunity to invite everyone to my site (40) Saturday morning for genuine Racine made O&H Danish Kringle and juice. Bring your own coffee, I'll need all of mine!! LOL For those of you that have never had O&H Kringle......it's awesome. It was featured on TV once on the travel channel. I'd like to supply breakfast too, but I don't have Betsey's talent for cooking for a crowd. So, Kringle it is.
See you all soon

As we get closer I am trying to figure out what I'll be cooking up for dinner on Saturday night. I'm thinking Chili could be a little risky; we might have a re enactment of the Blazing Saddles campfire scene.

[Cary Winch]

Kringle and chili ought to balance each other out nicely. I like it.

And yes, for those who don't about the famous Kringle Tom refers to he is correct. Really good stuff.

I use to have my mom and dad send it to me when I was in the Marines.

I will put my order in now for a cheese kringle!!

My jammies are already packed.

I am just waiting for Durabak to send me a package and a few other things to get finished on the trailer...it will be close, but I will be there with the teardrop in tow.

15 days !!!

Try as I might, I won't have my tear anywhere near to being completed. My original goal was to have it done for the Camp-Inn outing in the fall, and that now seems like a more realistic goal. Trailer is nearing completion, floor is done, sides cut out, door and windows cut out also. Working on door frame and side trim now.....but definately won't be roadworthy......

I will still be attending, but sleeping in the soft side trailer, sure hope the weather warms up!

I will be bringing the utility trailer along with 1/2 cord of firewood, so plan accordingly to lessen your load...

[Claw]

OK Duke I guess I can camp next to a pop-up, or is that a tent, but make sure you bring some pics of your progress and of course Lori, your better half.

There is a couple things I want to get upgraded on my Tear and the 15 day notice kinda gives me a kick.

[Betsey]

Duke,

...sure hope the weather warms up!

I'm with you! We had a 2 hour delay for school today due to the snow from the Tuesday-Wednesday-Thursday snowstorm. Of course, most of it was gone by this evening and now the temperature is a balmy 37º! This weekend things are supposed to start warming up again and by next week we are expecting temps in the mid to high 50ºs.

A lot can change in two weeks...keep your fingers crossed!

Betsey

[Claw]

Betsey,
We still have a cover on the ground from the snow the last couple of days. I am sure the temps will rise and by the end of the month we will be in for a great weekend. Plus Duke has a load of firewood to keep us warm.
It is pretty cool to contrast the new bright green grass against the pure white snow. Ya gotta love spring!

[TLC]

AHHHH! Spring time in WI, I figure it'll get here around July!! At least we'll have Duke's campfire to snuggle up to. Sorry to hear you won't have the TD ready for this gathering, guess I'll have to wait till the Camp-Outt to see it. Like Claw said...bring pictures.
