Mine died...does anyone have a staple gun they can bring with a couple of rows of staples to help out with the movie screen? Thanks in advance. Doug

Doug, no problem.
I'll put it in the tear right now, so I won't forget.
BTW, what are the movies, never did see the final poll ?

Hey Doug, I'm bringing up the screen. Were staples needed at the last IRG? Tanya's meeting up with Jane tomorrow to get the screen.

Great...if that's the plan. I ripped down a bunch of 2x4's tonight to make up a screen and was going to get some cloth from the store tomorrow morning for the background. If you have the screen I won't bother with it all. I talked to Dan and it's a 3x4 format on the movie.....I was planning on an 8'wide and 6'tall screen. It wouldn't have the reflective background though. Dean mentioned that there was a large one around that could be had and the names sound familiar, but I don't know the whole scoop on it. Let's figgur it out real quick...I'm leaving Sun. AM and it's going to be sticking out of the back of my truck. Doug

I'll get back to you tomorrow afternoon when Tanya gets back from down below. I'm pretty sure it's the same screen we had last time. Jane says she brought it home from IRG 2 and had planned on bringing it up herself but her doctor won't release her (I'll tell you about it off board).

Yep, plan on it as soon as Tanya gets back from meeting up with Jane & Pat for lunch. It'll be this afternoon sometime.

I have the movies, computer, projector, speakers and amp all tested and ready to go.
Doug I have a silver tarp to use as a reflector behind the cloth but if we can get a big screen that will be much brighter.
Can someone with a Honda 1000 or similar generator please volunteer to provide the power for this?
My elcheepo generator will do but it is a bit on the noisy side.
Thanks Dan H

At SouthCentral gatherings, Dave Lovelace (Davel) came up with a pretty good rear projection screen that he attaches to the side of an EZ-Up. You can PM him if you are interested in what he used.
BTW, good movie choices. I never get tired of Blazing Saddles.

Dan,
A couple of us can hoof the Honda 3K down from the cookshack... It's nice and quiet.

I've got a YAMAHA EF1000 that I'm bringing up for keeping the two scooters charged up. You can use it. And it's also quiet and only takes one person to carry it.
