Graham- I'll be calling you in a few days to discuss. Probably Wednesday or Thursday, my days off this week... Your "down and back" resembles my usual plan to make it to TWoS... last time we coordinated efforts it worked out well. As always, "mi casa es su casa". I'll check in with Mary also in a couple of days to check lodge room availability. | ||

... and in a rather uncharacteristic behavior, I looked ahead and confirmed that Barber Vintage Days 2017 is scheduled for October 6,7,8 of 2017. THIS year I'll BE there if at all possible! Anyone else who cares to share a camping site, let's be thinking about it! | ||
| Hughlysses |
TWoS just posted that the gas station is under new ownership and will re-open soon. | ||
| 86129squids |
Great news, Hugh! Thanks for sharing. | ||
| Pwnzor |
Anybody heard from Dave or Ann? | ||
| Buellish |
Matthew,I just sent then an email with the event details.I hope to hear back from them. | ||
| Pwnzor |
Cool deal, let us know! | ||
| Egagnon086 |
Wow, I live down in Athens and would like to come ride with yall for one of those days. I know all those roads like the back of my hand. Wont camp up there but can be there early if needed. | ||
| Buellish |
Brad,check out Egagnon086's profile pic,right hand side. | ||
| 86129squids |
Cool! An old Beemer wheel, older motor! Hope he slaps that bike back together soon! | ||
| Pwnzor |
Be there early Saturday morning, and we'll tear up some roads... get some kick ass BBQ for lunch | ||

Anybody heard from Dave or Ann? I'm in touch with Ann on the daily, Dave, not so much  I'm going to talk to Ann this evening, and get things in order. I think Saturday lunch would be good. Thanks for the bunch of e-mails! It really means the world to me and mine. Y'all are the best! Wish I could ride with y'all, I think I miss riding most of all. | ||
| Pwnzor |
If Ann can drive a stick shift, ya'll are welcome to take my convertible out for a spin. Gretchen will be driving it up on Saturday. | ||

Thanks for the offer, and no offence, but a passenger seat is a passenger seat, is a passenger seat... Although I did enjoy riding shotgun in Paintshaker's Ural sidecar. Is there a roll call? I'm just wondering who all will be there | ||
| Pwnzor |
I count 9 so far... mostly "maybe's" Buellish Squids Paint Shaker - maybe Cupcake Mike - maybe Lemonchili Tootal - maybe Egagnon086 - maybe Crusty - maybe Swordsman - maybe It's time for the maybe's to firm up their plans! | ||
| Tootal |
OK, move me from maybe to most likely! | ||
| Hughlysses |
Count me as a definite maybe too. | ||
| Crusty |
I'm going to be a Maybe right up 'till it happens. I have three major irons in the fire and any one of them could prevent my going. I'd say more, but I really don't want to jinx myself. If I don't make it this Spring, I'll make it to Buelltoberfest. | ||
| 86129squids |
I meant to holler at Graham last week... dangit! Standby- I'm expecting to grab a lodge room. I gotta scan and analyze the calendar a bit. Got aggravated with work- our schedule website and program won't allow for requests more than 6 months out! WTF, OVER. GOING TO BARBER VINTAGE FEST. | ||
| 86129squids |
Done. Just blocked the dates from my work schedule! Now, call Ann by the first of the week, confer with Graham. IIRC all the lodge rooms are the same rate, so splitting a room is kewl. Earplugs are required, as I DO snore like a skunk-ape. Chances are good that I'll bring some Benton's hot dogs... one thing that's almost/IS sacred about TWO/TWoS is a campfire. I do love me some Smokin' Butts, but I'd love to do some cooking onsite! (Message edited by 86129squids on February 05, 2017) | ||
| Crusty |
Is this where I make a comment about hot dogs and Smokin' Butts?... I think I'd be nervous about splitting a room  | ||
| Pwnzor |
 | ||
| Egagnon086 |
I'm a firm go. I'm only about an hr away from suches. I just needed to know when to be there. | ||
| Buellish |
Eric,Saturday will be the best day to ride with the group.We will likely leave after breakfast,between 9 and 10. | ||
| Etennuly |
I am putting it on my list of things to do. I have a lot coming up this spring, I really want to make this one. | ||
| 86129squids |
Allrighty! Just spoke with Mary, she's holding Lodge room 3 for me! I'm expecting Graham to join, and that will leave 2 other beds available in that room if anyone wants to help split costs. Holla! Vern? DANG I hope you can make it, buddy! Again, anyone sharing a room with me WILL REQUIRE earplugs. ESPECIALLY if Vern joins, we're like the Sasquatch Twins for snoring. As I type this, I have 3 pair of the foam type on my desk, I'll bring them. (For MC riding and for protection from banshee snoring, the swimming versions are better... ) | ||

I'm expecting Graham to join, and that will leave 2 other beds available in that room You two sharing a bed? Last I checked, there are only 3 beds in that room! | ||
| 86129squids |
  "Rack'em and Stack'em." Dibs on the big bed, han solo. | ||
| 86129squids |
Got a text from Graham, he's confirmed his days off that weekend... I'll be calling Mary to put a deposit on room 3 today! GAME. ON. I'll have one extra bed in that room if anyone cares to join and split costs. | ||
| 86129squids |
Hey Matthew- all is set on my end, Graham will overnite Thursday, we'll head out early Friday. I just picked up a new 8 year bourbon from Nashville. |
