OK folks as it stands right now. I have been able to procure a block of 9 rooms at the Super 8 motel in Dyersville for Thurs night, Friday night, and Saturday night. They are on a first come first serve basis. The rooms will either be 2 queen size beds or one king size bed. The cost will be $65 per night plus tax (Which is 12%) Here is the link to the Motel.

The reason I reserved the the block of rooms for Thursday night, is I am planning a day trip over to Galena, Il on Friday for those that might want to come in early and do some site seeing around the area.

Just checking to see if folks actually read my posts any more
we sit and wait with anticipation for any words of wisdom from the mid-west. ;D ;D How's the shoulder doing?
I really want to be there this year, but having shoulder problems of my own and just getting back to work, I'm not sure if I'll make it. Keeping fingers crossed.

I don't have to worry about that at the moment Pens. I, along with 23 other folks, got laid off last Tuesday morning at about 4:30 am. Stuff Happens, and since it aint killed me yet it can only make me stronger.
That sucks Chris. Hope its not for too long. I just got back to work after being off 8 months, so I know what its like. Bad part was.... I was injured the whole time so I could not do anything while I was off. I'm back to work but still injured. Small rotator cuff tear and like you, a frozen shoulder. PT did not help so back to the Dr. on the 25th. Hope it all works out for you.
Enjoy your unexpected time off and catch up on things that need to be done. Things will work out.
OK folks getting to about a month out from the Smoke Out. To start getting an idea of who is coming. I have the question IS YOU?
Probably won't be able to make it this year
Start a new job tomorrow and I'll be working weekends
Dang I was looking forward to all the good food and good company
Don
We gonna Miss you guys Don
Won't miss this year. Vacation approved so they can't require my presents at work like last year. Let me know if you need anything in advance Chris. I just live down the road in CR. I have a 10 x 20 tent with sides if we need it.
Sadly, I am unable to attend this year, finances just will not allow.
If your planning on Attending this years MWSO please send me a pm with how many will be attending. Need to start getting the MEAT menu planned.

Chris,
Going to your smoke out is not in the cards this year. But it is on my bucket list so I'll make it one of these years. Hope you all have a great time.

HI all
Well Mr. Chris starting to sound like an all star line up again for the smoke out !! May only make it for awhile on Saturday, but even an hour at the smoke out beats not making it all. I would like to say how many I will have along but I won't know till Saturday morning for sure. Any idea if Bradley reps will make it this year as I would love to bring my feeder along and get some advice about why it don't feed right yet.Well hope to see you all on Saturday it was a BLAST last year. Now to all the newbies out there, I heard someone say they wished it was closer to WVa, if you can't make it to a smoke out start one in your area. My first one was last year and it's killing me that I might not make it to this one, it was like a family reunion but only better because you didn't have to put up with relatives that you don't like !! It won't take much to get it going, just a quick post on here will get the ball rolling. Once you start one or attend one you will never forget the quality of people you meet and the amount of fun strangers can have, although we meet people on here it's still not the same as meeting face to face after 5 minutes there will be no strangers and you will have a whole new family. Once again THANKS Chris for doing it again this year, Bradley reps did an awesome job last and I hope they make it again, Rick your knowledge,sense of humor and pretty face will be greatly missed !! LOL. Tiny Tim, DMAN and to the rest of the folks that can't get there this year it was pleasure to meet you and I hope next we can all be there again. Take care and have a great time at the smoke out if I can't make it.
Tim
Yes Tim Chickenwing (Lance) said he will be here again this year
. Now to all the newbies out there, I heard someone say they wished it was closer to WVa, if you can't make it to a smoke out start one in your area.
I mentioned WV, but I'd have to find a location. My house isn't big enough.

All you need is a back yard. I admit I have a pretty good sized yard. Nepas had a 15 foot by 30 foot area that he had a couple of Smoke Outs in when he was in NE Penns.
Needed something special for the Smoke Out so I gave a quick call to Squirtthecat. Told him what I needed, and we arranged a meeting place that is just about halfway between both of us. Kinda of a interesting building if you ask me. by the loading docks it had this sign
(http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd237/tenpoint5/072112115442.jpg)
I walked up to the front door and there was this sign on the door
(http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd237/tenpoint5/072112120029.jpg)
If I was smart I would have called ahead and maybe got a tour of the place!! They is closed on Saturdays.
Yep! Out the door at 10AM and hammer down..

2 hours later, and then a scenic tour of Galesburg (only made about 4 wrong turns ::)), I rolled up to Oz.

Funny you should post that pic of your speedometer Pat!!
Especially since I got caught sleeping on the way home. crested over the top of a hill. I looked over in the other lanes and there was this Iowa State Trooper driving along. He found the need to cross over the median and come have a talk with me! When he got there I was already parked on the side of the road with the hazards on. At which point he informed me that I was doing 79 in a 65! :o I told him that I just wasn't paying attention when I came over the hill and he caught me fair and square. Handed him all my information that I had ready for him. He said since I was being so honest he just wrote the ticket for 75 in a 65. $114 wake up call it was!! ;D
Needless to say my 3 boys just couldn't wait to get home and tell their Mother!! Happens to the best of us. First speeding ticket in 25 years
Fortunately for me, my speedo reads high with the aftermarket winter rims/tires I have on that car.
So I *was* going 75 in a 65... ;)
Could be worse, "if that police car behind us makes the same turn at the next corner I am about to make I am going to jail." I have no clue who might have said that one night long ago. :o ::)
Ranks right up there with "here, hold my beer. I'm gonna try something".
Thinking that for this years festivities we should make the arrival time 3pm instead of the 1pm we used last year. I don't want everyone hanging out in the heat anymore than we have too. Although we will have plenty of shade to get under.
EDIT
Then again I just looked at the weather forecast. If they are right it should be a really nice day to sit and converse!!
This will probably change but here's what it looks like for now.

I'm gonna need long pants and a sweat shirt in that weather. ;D
We aint seen temps that low in months.

If you want to come up on the bike and hang out that will be fine. Will be getting a few things started late Fri night and just relaxing. The stress doesn't start till Sat morning. Squirt usually has my back to keep me on my toes and my nose to the grindstone

Well if that doesn't work Chris has 3 little boys who will trip over each other while running to tell Momm........................I'll just leave that alone! :o
Y'all will have a great time. Wish i could make it this time.
I got the kids covered. I work in the plant that makes Fruit Roll-Ups and Fruit Shapes and I'm not afraid to use them!
Kids should be happy!! Of course some vodka and a syringe along with some fruit snacks and the Adults would be happy too!!
Thinking of doing something like this. (http://www.amazingribs.com/recipes/porknography/stuffed_pork_loin_roast.html)
never been to a smoke out. DO you have an address where the smoke out will be? List of activiites? Just July 28th?

Not really a list of activities per se. The Smoke Out should get going around 2:30-3ish. Basically a Smoke Out is a Meet and Greet. A place to come have some good food and meet some of the folks you talk to here on the forum and be able to put a face to a name.Maybe have a drink or two. It takes about 10 minutes to figure out who is "Seemore" and who is "Bam1". After that it is just hanging out with some old friends. Just that you talk with them over a computer instead of a phone. Hope that makes sense.
Check your PM's
