Have fun!
Too much time? Dude, you have 830 posts...

I'll be making another pitch/reminder in mid-June. I hope to see many of you, but somehow female intuition tells me that the former fighter pilot types don't want to take the chance that the rest of us will say something like "so YOU once flew the F-16? You?? Then there's hope for me yet!" bwahahahaha.

One thing is guaranteed - the ribs and steaks are going to be the best. It will bring tears to your eyes.

SkyHigh, are you going to fly over in your little plane?
I might fly over however driving is a lot easier. Have you picked a location yet?

Just another reminder that July 11 is coming up fast. Sometime around the third week of June, I will make another announcement (probably by moving this thread around all over the place again) and ask those of you who can make it to send me a PM. My reply back to you will contain the exact address of our little soiree.

As a further incentive, I am planning to have t-shirts printed up, so do let me know what size you wear. Size matters, I've always said.

And regarding entertainment, we still have the Museum of Flight tour, badminton, miniature golf. I could look around for a licensed massage therapist, but the Top Gun volleyball reenactment is definitely out! Sorry.

I am thinking that if the response is overwhelming, I will rent space at a park somewhere, otherwise, I will host this in my backyard. Thinking of July 4th weekend. I will supply the food, but you can bring your own beverage. Hmmm, should I FedEx over some Memphis ribs?

RSVP by May 29.

NOTE: I'm moving this thread to all the forums in seriatim in the hopes of letting as many people know about it as possible. If I get no more than 20 yes responses, this BBQ will be cancelled due to lack of interest.
I wouldn't call it lack of interest but if you only knew what we did down south for the 4th you'd understand why I couldn't make it.

Ahh just saw it was the 11th... I'll have you let you know after my bid comes out and also see if I can crash at an old student's of mine. Her new BF might not like the idea lol.
