True enough, it's good to be clear… I’ve been thinking about it and am
surprised you all aren’t reading my mind! Last time I had a potluck with a
bunch of guys (blacksmiths and farriers) I cooked burgers with all the
condiments and got three bags of chips and two 12 packs of beer. About the
time we were done one of the guys’ wife shows up with a single serving,
Stouffer's microwave macaroni and cheese! haha!The potluck portion will be
included with the €! memorial on Saturday 22 May about 4:00 depending on smoker
progress. I’m smoking pork butt and Jan is bringing some potato salad and
Dave’s buns. We’ll bring the regular condiments with a couple/few bbq sauces,
lettuce, onion, pickles.Tom Thilman offered cowboy beans (aka, Blazing Saddles
campfire scene… I guess that makes me Slim Pickens)At some point during the
weekend Dr Bugs is smoking a turkey, there may be some of that available
depending on space available on the smoker with two pork butt roasts. It would
be nice if everyone could bring a favorite dish for a cookout whether it’s a
desert, bacon, the day’s catch, cucumber-green-pasta salad, beans (again) to
share.KDick21 (everyone encourage the Hotchkiss clan to come, a little peer

Thursday morning arrival, bloody’s on Greg the Hood (The Tarp). Bonfire
begins. Afternoon fishing, canoe, swim, huddle under shelter out of the rain.
Friday morning: bloody’s by Scoutman; bonfire continues; pontoon boat rental,
check in with TH; Friday afternoon: morning continued; bonfire… possible smoked
turkey by Dr Bugs (may contain cicadas) Saturday morning: more of the same, see
above.If you’re interested in €tB memorial with Pam and a few supportive
spouses, that’s Saturday about 4:00. Some his ashes will be spread. Smoked
pork butt pot luck, probably unrelated to the spreading of ashes, but not sure.
Bonfire continues. Sunday morning about whenever. Ceremonial dousing of the
bonfire, Fireman will take home coals to keep to start next year’s bonfire.

info..... Dudes…….as Dicktator Kevin stated, we had an update talk the other
day…….was back up at Twin Knobs today, so here’s a bit of additional info……At
the check in entrance station, everybody will be given a parking pass to hang
on the rear view mirror…….we have 2 group sites…….East (Pavillion) and
Tent……….not sure how they will hand out the parking passes for each site, but
just take the one they give you and should be good to go…….can figure out
parking passes, campsite pick, etc. when back at the group site…….Until about 3
weeks ago, the limit per site was 10 people for a total of 20 since we have 2
sites…….it’s now 20 per group site for total of 40……glad they changed that
maximum number as at last count, had about 24 Dudes attending, plus a few day
visitors……so should be good to go……When the campground concessionaire Tony
finally returned my call a few days ago, he talked about distancing, etc.
etc……said they’d be over to “check on us”……..if they do stop by, probably best
to be following the goofy guidelines as best we can, so we hopefully won’t see
them again coming back to “check on us”…..told him a lot of us have had
vaccine……he said that’s good but they gotta do their thing and all that……At
campground entrance…..huge sign………..Alcohol beverages prohibited………..not sure
how serious they are about that, but probably good idea to keep liquor most out
of sight, if they gonna be coming over to “check on us”……As Dicktator
mentioned, feel free to bring dollies, wagons, wheelbarrows, etc……come in handy
to get stuff, in case of rain (It’s not gonna rain) but………..can get gear and
stuff from parking lot up to the covered shelter pavilion, then figure out a
campsite…..Also, there will be tarps, of course, but those stand alone canopies
would come in handy……..there is a big serving table next to the hugeass
grill………stand alone canopy come in handy there…….After leaving campground
entrance station, will make a left back to the group sites…….then another
left……….at the sign that says East Group and Tent group site, the
East/Pavillion site is to the right……..Tent site straight ahead………..probably be
good idea at arrival to take the right to the East/Pavillion site……..it’s a
loop,………….check it out then back to main road, make a right over to the Tent
site……….it’s a loop also……….that way, we can see which area preferred to set up
campsite………Really looking forward to this year’s outing and seeing
everybody………… Thanks, Scoutman….. From: gtd-net-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

April 25, 2021 11:51 AMTo: gtd-net@freelists.orgSubject: [gtd-net] And... This
reminder just in from ScoutMan central: GTD’s might want to bring a wheel
barrow or hand truck to facilitate moving gear to their respective campsight
AND moving firewood to the respective FireMan bonfire. A wheelchair
tournament/race was proposed, perhaps a Rughead walking stick three legged
race? What could go wrong? TarpMan also mentioned the likelihood of THEMAN
coming by to count heads and measure interpersonal distancing in accordance
with the random whims of those that know better for us all, until they move
that goalpost. I suggested we could each bring a hog and feed the revenuer to
them in a time honored bootlegger fashion but that was voted down by a majority
of ScoutMan, who’s way more civilized than me. There may also be a request for
group ID upon entering the state/fed park for those coming in for the day,
black armbands with a golden crown will be issued for ease and rapidity of
identification by THEMAN (keep in mind it is for your own good). Meanwhile,
I’ll be smoking a couple of pork shoulders (totally unrelated to the
revenuer/hog feeding) on Saturday in anticipation of Pam and a few other
spousal units coming down for a bit of an €tB memorial complete with some of
his ashes (or maybe some from the bbq? at any rate there will be ashes).
Spousal units are expected to crash for the evening at the Comfort Inn just
North of our campground and leave the GTD’s to fish, play mumbly-peg or
whatever level of respectful debauchery we’ve come to enjoy or tolerate per
each comfort level. Any spousal units will be required to figure that shit out
for themselves, as most have some level of contact or can get it. Hopefully
Brian will bring his ax as drinking and wood chopping was a pleasurable enough
past time, though the firewood supplier is likely building his own firewood
kiln to dry said firewood after hearing from SCOUTMAN for bringing us green
wood last October. Poor guy probably is having nightmares, I’ll let him know
he’s lucky to be able to dump the firewood and not stack it in order of size,
species and % moisture content with SCOUTMAN as our receiving clerk! Looking
for a good time with all the dudes regardless of regulation... or deregulation.
