I'm going to try and make it, but it's the start of our basketball season and have four games that day, hopefully I can skip out. always wanted to get to one, and meet some of the faces I've been interacting with since the Eastern days honestly. what's that like 20+ years?

I started in September 2006....so going on 20 years for me. I know Will and Jerry have been kicking around a couple of years longer.

[40/70 Benchmark]

There is now a tie for the 6th and 13th, so if we feel like more can do the 13th, IDC either way.

I can't make the 6th. Will be in Portsmouth, NH for the weekend.

I am not on the forum much, and just saw this today.

We should grab lunch on your way back Sunday....you will be passing right by.

Yeah, I think I can be flexible. Either way too.

Yes...the older you get, the more perceptive you are of the passage of time, but having children definitely amplifies it.

Will didn't vote, but I know he can only make the 13th. Let me put it this way...who plans to attend Saturday and would not be able to, or would not, do the 13th??

[weatherwiz]

13th I have something in Stamford, CT at 6:00 PM so wouldn't be able to make it

Yea, probably not moving it this late in the game, anyway, unless there was a real concerted push.

I would make the 13th.

Yeah...Depends on what time we get out of there and how quickly Melina wants to get home.  I know I have to stop at Bass Pro/ Cabellas on the way back through as well.

My preferred date is 12/13 so I’d be happy with a switch 

[Baroclinic Zone]

I can do the 13th as well.

[40/70 Benchmark]

Hmm.....so far we're gaining Will and Garth and losing Paul with a switch....also wonder if @Typhoon Tipcould make the 13th?

I believe he said he could. If more people are game for the 13th then definitely switch. Hopefully we can get a spring one too...like March before everyone starts summer activities. 

[WinterWolf]

I can make this Saturday’s. But have a wedding next Saturday the 13th.  But as Paul said…if more guys can make the 13th instead…by all means switch it up.  No worries.

Sorry, it's so split this year on date preference....I know having things in flux this late in the game isn't ideal, but trying to maximize participation it tough when there is no clear preference.

We are going to do the 13th....that is final, no more indecisiveness, so if anything changes, see you guys there.

No worries. 

I would have chosen this over what I'm doing but it's something I already paid for lol. I know last year we briefly discussed an early spring one but never got to it. Maybe late January we can throw a thread up with some dates for March or April

If mother nature gives is a reason, I am more than happy to slap something together on short notice.

You know what we should have done like 10-15 years ago. Got a group and rented a cabin or something in the middle of nowhere during a major snowstorm. Just imagine how fun that would have been

I actually could go on the 13th but I have to work in Newark on the 14th so I'm not keen on two really long 2+ hr drives each way back to back days. Also working in Newark again on the 18th.

LES chase stay in Montague NY cabin stuck for a week. Wiz gets cabin fever and decides to fully transform into Miley Cyrus for good.  Kevin goes out for a run, found a week later frozen in a 10 foot pile swept up by a front loader but had a smile frozen forever.  Scooter discovers the frozen bodies Mitch had not yet buried piled up in the cellar and goes berserk usable to deal with it. Will, Ray, Garth, Hunchie, Wolfie and I devise a plan to get out when another 4 feet falls and we are all stranded with no food or communication. Will we survive?  and who eats who? Lol that's the rest of the story...

I'd be passing guess the whole time, so no one would eat me...like a skunk that sprays when intimidated....
