Midwest Smoke Out III

[hal4uk]

Hey now.. you ain't supposed to be taking pictures of goofballs taking pictures.
It's in the rulebook.  Section 1267862431235 on page 891369163.
Awrighten.

So where does taking a picture of somebody taking a picture of somebody taking a picture of somebody fall in (for future reference)?

You destroy all your evidence, and just maybe ---  I'll call off the black helicopters.
Time is precious.  Make your move, Johnny Ringo...    8)

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.

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



I walked up to the front door and there was this sign on the door



If I was smart I would have called ahead and maybe got a tour of the place!! They is closed on Saturdays.

[squirtthecat]

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

[squirtthecat]

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...   ;)
