Alright guys, if you don't hear back from me by Tuesday, send a search party. (Literally) We're about to put in on the New River here in NC for three days and a lot of miles on the water. You can google map Wagoner access to Mouth of Wilson, VA and check it out. This is our first semi-extended trip, and I'm very excited. :biggrin:

Hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable Memorial Day weekend! Whats everyone else doing?

    Tonight - venison on wood fire charcoal (scoop fire coals into a charcoal grill and cook there)
    Tomorrow - working at an estate auction in the morning/early afternoon, then heading to a bonfire to drink beer and eat a pig.
    Sunday - recover.
    Monday - recover, drink some more beer.

    What sucks is that I'm on call this weekend... So I can't go too crazy. Luckily, everyone else will be on vacation, too.
    Ludicrous gibs!

    ....Brings back great memories of my YOUTH. Lower Youghiogheny River Rafting after a major series of storms. Had to sign off in those days...for ignorance. Within 20 minutes one raft taken down by whirlpool. A quick lunch while caught "Smoking" & drinking cheap wine.....it was the early 70's. All went well and very memorable. Enjoy the Thrill!!

    ...Present day....over 60 and watering the lawn and taking advil for sore joints caused by my YOUTH. AND DRINKING BETTER WINE

    And wish the soldiers and the the victims of the storms well wishes and God Bless

    Got the ribs going....apple & maple wood is making smoke like crazy!

    Turner Classic Movie channel is having a marathon on war movies - even though its "Hollywood" there are some good ones that remind you what makes this weekend special.

    Did someone say beer? Just got back after our trip, it was something else. Prolly one of the single best experiences of my life, except for the almost dying part. Ugh. Looks like everyone is having enough beers, and good times. (If your not working)

    Have a great Monday, I'm going to grill the crap out of some large piece of meat, whatever it is it better watch out.
