I will bring a couple of cheese ballls and some other little goodies. You guys did everything but lick the plate last time. Can't wait to see you guys again and meet new folks. Anybody heard from Jim in Sav ?

[Ross Wade]

CONES.......WE DON"T NEED NO STINKIN' CONES.........need to put some safety straps on the ole camp chairs and I'll be gooooooood to go.

Chip, you gonna be bring some more of that apple cake? It sure does go good with Coronas. And to awnser your question, no I have not found a place for my shot glass....still pondering



On to other matters: this may not be the place for this, oh well.......I created a logo for The Carolinas Crew, with Alans help, and it is out on Cafe Press. They do look good, even if I do say so myself....and I do.

Everything is at cost. We don't make a penny on this stuff. Just thought it was/is a cool way to share the joy of teardroppin'

Ross, Alan and anyone else that had a help in the design, GREAT JOB Now to decide what I want before Frank takes the charge card Thanks guy's.

[Chip]

Ross and Allan,, great job on the logo,, just what I need something else to spend money on,, thanks a lot guys,,,

for the sat night munchies list put us down for finger sandwiches and bbq, coctail smokies,, and of course a jar of pickles,,,

Ordered T shirt and stickers last night. And I was broke to begin with.

[Jiminsav]

Hey Alan,
I'm not going to make it up there this month becasue work has slammed me and boyscouts will take up the last two weekends this month, and i'm sure the old ball and chain wouldn't let me go up there anyways because thats the way ball and chains are.
hope ya'll have a blast and remember..take lots of pics..and i wanna see faces this time.

[ALAN GEDDES]

Good to hear from you. Sorry you can't make it. But YOU WILL be coming to Pisgah won't you.

[ALAN GEDDES]

What's our theme this month ? Just plain Tacky ?

[Jiminsav]

oh yes in deedie, i'll be at Pisqua with both doors on.

[Ross Wade]

That is what I was thinking, Alan. JUST PLAIN TACKY .

Clancy and Fain are super people. Carla has to be in Columbia,SC for a training seminar all day Thursday and 1/2 of a day on Friday, the weekend of the Helen gathering. So with this little problem at hand, Clancy has come to our rescue. He and Fain are going to be picking up Carla, from her seminar and haulin' her to Helen.

Chip, what time are you heading out for Helen that Friday? Wondering if I could caravan with you. It would take me about 3 1/2 hours to get to your neck of the woods.

Ross

[ALAN GEDDES]

Looks like most of the old gang and a few new people to break in. Talked to a friend who has been to Helen and said it's good for all day browsing with some good places to eat. Should be a great weekend.

[Chip]
