Slingshots Uncorked (Fri, Apr 7th 2017, 9:00am - Sun, Apr 9th 2017, 12:00pm)

Quote from ethermion

Plans sound good, except for Sunday. Don't think my bride will cotton to a long ride, followed by a long ride, then a long ride home. Think north...

@DocG is pondering. Will keep after him.

@Webweaver1021 is pondering. Will keep after him.

After more. I can do this. Err, after I finish watching Green Bay kick some Cowgirls butt.

@ethermion tell @DocG he needs to come, @FunCycle and myself are going to be there and would love to meet another Bubblehead, that would make 3 at this event.

No offense @ethermion, but disliked after that last sentence...

It was a damn good game and hopefully the future is bright for Dallas... Just need to work on the pass rush and secondary.

Indeed. I erred. I try very hard to not post like that.

But, we can agree that that was one heck of a game. The 'boys looked great in the 2nd half, and I expected them to win. They played perfect football, and their only vulnerability was that the GB QB is an alien life form. Few if any play books account for that. Pretty sure Rogers was beamed back up to his personal UFO after the game, to enjoy alien foods and the giggles of alien virgins.

To keep this on topic, I continue to recruit for this event. @MACAWS throws one heck of a party, and I don't want any of my friends to miss it. Who knows, I might do karaoke again. Nobody wants to miss that either. I channel Elvis, another alien.

Sling on, sling safe,

@Trucon01 , this is the thread we discussed.

@3rdwheel has been contacted, and is likely to post.

@Gadgeteer has been contacted, and ask that I report him as likely to post.

Toy dude! Thank you so much for the compliment.

Keep in mind that I will be attending with my lovely wife who will kill you first, then me, if a cigarette touches my lips. But I have not forgotten your generosity, and more importantly the excellent company of you and yours. Looking forward to seeing you again! And for the record, I did not smoke last time you saw me. Seriously. I beg you!

I expect we will stay again in the same hotel. Let's share a Weißbier or two or three or four. I'll buy. And provide PROPER glasses. We both know a proper pour, so no issue there.

@DocG has been informed by voicemail. I will see him and his girl in person next weekend, and hammer home the message. Worry not. If you are a punter, bet he will post.

You never inhaled... and yes I'll bring one or two Weißbier for you, because in my hole live I never had more then two "FIRST one and Last one" don't count the ones between

@Jdin is another probably. A wee bit of a boo-boo with his ankle keeps him from a firm commitment. Wish him the best.

Still ringing phones.

work up a nice back rod excursion

Love ya' Bro but sometimes you scare the hell outta me!

(Lol! Sound familiar?! Owed you that one... )

Looks like a great way to complete the event!

This should be one helluva' event!!!! Just took a look at the menu at the restaurant! WOW!!! Guess I picked a bad time to start eating healthy!!!! Can't wait to get back together with all you guys. Since the dinner in Emporia, I've been having withdrawals!!!!! Oh wait, that was just last week!!! Never mind!!!

Quote from MACAWS

Ok folks I think I have a great compromise for Sunday.

We are looking forward to this ride, looks like a great place to visit.

Quote from MACAWS

We did a little test run today but I was in my dually and you may not believe this but the Slingshot corners much better than a 6,000lb truck with 6 wheels.

It's not a Porsche....

I will ask @Designer and @Firefly to work up a nice back road excursion that will end up at the Berry Hill Resort in South Boston about 25 miles west of Clarksville. This is a pretty cool place , resort and conference center on 650 acers. I figured we could cruise up the tree lined driveway and take some great calendar photos in front of the mansion

There is a very nice place to eat lunch and I took the liberty of making reservations for 22 at 12:00 on the Morning of April 9th.
Colette and I took a ride up there for lunch today, the food was great and the staff was wonderful.

The name of the place is Darby's Tavern - here is a link to the web page with some photos and the menu
Berry Hill Resort & Conference Center - Darby's Tavern

Overall this will be a great place to hang out on Sunday and you can either head back to Clarksville with us or head home from here. It is located a few miles north of 58 for those heading back to the Chesapeake area and just south of 360 for those heading back up towards Richmond and 95.

There is alot history here and I think you all will enjoy it.
