..................signing off for another year...............

(If you put hours into hunt preparations, DON'T think that you can give up half a day doing piddly household crap, then come back to the hunt. It will be OVER.

Peace out... Ian, Medallion Searcher, and King Boreas

Yes, I am bringing Sloppy Joe Medallions to the:

3rd Annual Re-Hash Bash @ Newell, February 6th

And so it goes for anudder year...

You know, I led a very happy, productive, very nice life until three years ago. That year, it went to 7734 in the proverbial handbasket.

At least I'm not alone in this obsession. I'm glad for the validation of bummed feelings, feelings of being "betrayed", lost, led astray, set a drift.

Now a wwwwhhhhoooollllleeee year. Oh! A year's so long! I HATE waiting for this dumb hunt I can't get enuff of!!!

I DON'T WANT IT TO BEE OVER!!! WWWWAAAAAA

All Diggers, a week from 2day, 12:00ish, Newell Park, for the Third Annual Re-Hash Bash. Bring sumpin' to share. If you want to bring your own meat, do so. There's GRILLS *there* (of course... gggggrrrrrr) and I'll have one and prolly Inks and Ter will, too. There will bee PLENTY o'food if you don't feel like doing dogs or a steak - so the meat thighy (<------ DDave, that's a Bee-ism. Ittiz pronounced "thing-y") is opptional. After Hunting and Digging, food's the second obession o'The Cool Heads. We NEVER go hungry.

King Boreas iz bringing his reknowned Sloppy Joe Medallions. Eags, a.k.a. Eagle Eye, a.k.a. The Dip Goodess - given the name by Bee - is bringing her Artie Chokes Dip. Hopefully Mom and Dad will do the coffee again this year????

I'm bringing my Chile Cheese Dip, carn-on-the-cob (another tradition. Can't have a pic'a-nic, Booboo, without carn-on-the-cob!) and maybee sumpin' else. Don't know. I'll bee bringing a gal (or two) o'milk for kiddies, Moms and DDY. Hopefully Mom and Dad will do the coffee again this year????

NO ONE IZZ ALLOWED TO BRING POTATOE SALAD! Especially 24 lbs o'it. Thiz is kind'a one o'those ear-muffy things with me... Lettuce not go there...

I'm going to contact the Park folks and see if they'll let us use the arched-windowed pavillion. Got REALLY spoiled by the kind folks at Conway last year that let us use FREE O'CHARGE their warming room, tables, chairs and ELECTRICITY!!!! We were very snuggy and warm. This REALLY helps with the wido ones. It's been mentioned we may have have to pay a fee o'$100. If so, are there nine (9) udder folks that will pitch in $10???? Trust me. $10 is a PITTANCE if you've ever picnicked in the cold like we did at Chair-O-Key.

Good Morning!

It's so nice to see Little Laura and pops here now too! Hello!!!

It was great putting more faces with more names last night. And it was fun meeting some not yet informed of the find hunters as well.

Brando - If you log on here....hello! Glad to have met you last night. You may have been late for the hunt, but you weren't too late to meet some other obsessive hunting types. Hope you can join in the rehash bash next Sunday.

Ian - I sent mail. I know that there are outlets under the shelters on the posts. I've used that during other events there. Unless it's turned off during the winter, there should be electric if we don't get the go-ahead for the indoor pavillion.

Hay, GRed! Hay, Tim.

Good yob, Tim! Now, show Laura, otay? Thanks!
