Hey Everyone

Colton Hubbard, posting to let everyone know that the one and only IRG Gatekeeper has joined the forum. The Gatekeeper being me, who is Colton Hubbard.

to the playground Colton. I don't suppose you have pictures to back up your claim to fame. Just teasin. Have a good one and are you building a teardrop or just helping the ole man.

Aunti M,

I just uploaded a picture of myself, and I hope it is evidence enough of my claim to fame . As for a teardrop, I myself don't have one, but when i can I help out dad (Dean in Eureka, Ca) on his teardrop .

Welcome Aboard Son!
Oh and Thanks Cliff for taking such a nice shot of my boy.

Hey Colton, welcome to the playground .
Seems every few minutes I saw you hop on the bicycle and head for the gate. You did a great job.

[satch]

OH NO, you mean there's more of you out there kiddin'. Welcome aboard Colton, let's see if you can build one faster than pop

[scott and becky]

Welcome Colton! I'll vouch for you to! I saw you open that gate several times! I bet you hate the sound the sound of a cow bell!

Welcome aboard Colton!

So...whats your claim to fame? That teardrop shaped guitar?

As I recall it was plate stacking at 1.0...

[IRG gatekeeper]

My current claim to fame, is opening that gate more times than I can count. I can't claim any guitar skills, because I don't play guitar, but I am working on the mandolin, and tenor banjo. I suppose that plate stacking can still be a claim to fame though, but the camp champ, I am no longer

Hi, Colton ~

Was great to see you once again ~

[TENNJIM]

Welcome Colton. Sure glad you showed up when I rang that cowbell and gave me the combination to use for the other times to get in or out. It was nice to meet you at the IRG.

Colton, great picture.
Joanie, I love the pic of you sitting in that enormous DO against the redwood.

Hey Colton, welcome to the forum. What a difference two years make from the photos. Hey when your dad finishes one tear you can help him finish the second so you can have one two.

Just don't hold your breath.

[TheBizMan]

Welcome Colton,

Nice to see another generation of teardroppers coming along.

Nice Picture!

Ahhh! I was just daydreaming about an extra curricular activity suggestion for IRG 3.0. Since dad and Joanie are working on a TD of their own, and questionable when it would be finished. It would be cool to build a teardrop while at the IRG. The deserving recipient would provide the build materials. The plans could be developed before the IRG, then set into action when we get there. With all the master crafts people there, I am sure a few tools with a generator would power everthing needed.

Either a Harbor Freight frame, or one that is ready to be built on to start with. Albeit, there are people with surplus hardware that could be (donated/discounted/sold) used for the build. I bet with 20 people working on the project we could set a record for the fastest teardrop build. I am not going to name names, but being an official greeter, I am sure willing people can get behind a fun weekend project.
