I would go, but would understand if you don't want to do it this year.

I've never managed to make it to any of the annual meets but I'm still very impressed by how much organisation & work RobS and Laura have put into them.

I'm willing to have it still if people want to come, I just wasn't sure if the interest was still there or not. I always have a good time and think it will be even more fun having it at my own house this year.

Warning though: if you're allergic to cats bring plenty of medication I have more than I should.

Rob puts in a lot more work on his than I do. Mine tend to be rather small gatherings where his have multitudes of people from all over the world. Someday I would like to cross the pond but doubt I will ever be able to afford to.

I would love to come. That would make it my first solo road trip. Late September? It's been on my books for a long time.

When is your wife's birthday?

I'd like to be in the opposite corner of Ohio (near Cleveland) the 23rd/24th of September, so if that's when your wife's birthday is, all the better.

As far as I know it's good. With my luck I'll end up coming in directly from New York.

Looks good schedule-wise.

I hope we didn't scare Ian off with all the work last year.

All of the car trouble he had last year may have done it.

We can't top off Rob's canon but by god we're going to try. Saturday night we will have a bonfire and annual cookout and set off fireworks, they're legal here We'll go fireworks shopping early Saturday and people can buy what they want then set them off later.

I'm taking that whole week off for vacation so if anyone wants to come early and help haul top soil and gravel and seed a lawn and seal a deck and outdoor furniture they are more than welcome to come and help

Also if anyone has a quad that they want to bring, my neighbor has 27 acres that we can ride on (I don't have one, yet).

Can I try to kick up dirt and pop some wheelies in my station wagon? I've heard 2nd gear squeal sounds exceptional on 5 foot tall field hay.

I think that might do a bit more damage to the ground than a quad would My field is only about 4' and I plan on making it into a wild flower field next year so I don't want it torn up. But people do drive trucks all over the fields out here, so maybe you could.

I would imagine Haspin Acres (a 750 acre off road park) is pretty close to you. If anyone else has a 4 wheeler and wants to go to Haspin I'm in. Last time I went it was $7.

Very close to me, within 30 minutes at the most, and I've never heard of it. Course I'm new out here and have nothing to ride around the place on

But my neighbors would be free and right next door!

Itinerary will be as follows:

Friday night we will drive into Batesville for La Rosa's pizza (if people get here early enough) followed by a bonfire in my backyard.

Saturday morning we will have a lite breakfast followed by stereo competitions. There will be no prizes this year but we can still judge if people want or just show them off.

Saturday afternoon it will be lunch at Wagners in Oldenburg, famous for their pan fried chicken dinners served family style which means all you can eat for $10 each. After lunch we will fly down the road to buy fireworks. Then we can come back here and swim in my neighbors pond if it's warm enough.

Saturday night we will have a cookout and bonfire and fireworks and drink of course.

Sunday morning we can go into Lawrenceburg and have a breakfast buffet at the Argosy Casino, I was told it's really good but I'm not sure how much it costs. People can either stay and gamble or we could go off and do something else. Those who are staying later for the day we can lunch at The River Watch which is a barge near the casino, they have good food.

Could someone bring a coffee maker? I don't have one since I'm a tea drinker And people can buy their own beer and drinks. I have a small fridge so we might need coolers also.

I'll be coming, but not staying in your cat sanctuary of a house.

I can bring a coffee maker. If Mark is coming, I'll be sure to bring some wine too.
