So are we talking about Friday or Saturday? The poll at the beginning says the 24th. (Friday) I'm thinking I might just come up Friday and get a room at the Ramada. Then I'm ready to roll if I decide to get any coal in the a.m. I might want to get a ton of nut for the Jotuls.
Greg, I know you said you can't make it but when you fly over at 30,000 ft. just beep the horn or wiggle the wings so we know its you.
