Excellent job on yours George.

[JLA]

I can wait to see Carls storyboard. Maybe he can photoshop some 'carotches' in there.

[Gabob]

Wish BJ and I could have made it this year. Health problems kept us home. Maybe next year I hope

[JLA]

Sorry we missed yall Bob. Id have loved to shake your hand.

[Dennis C]

Pretty cheap vacation IMO. And Becks lil Hyundai averaged 34 a gallon. which is bad compared to some of the 40+ vehicles they are turning out these days.

Well worth the trip fellas!

since my accord gets 37 I am pretty damn excited about next year.

hey Highboy, wanna meet up here and carpool next year? seats 5 and trunk will hold luggage and 8 long guns

Bring your butt down a couple days early. We can have some fun here.
And then all carpool or convoy on down.

This was my first TFF BBQ but it won't be my last. I'm glad I was able to make it down for it. Sam and everyone else certainly go all out to put on a great shindig! As someone who has organized events for many years, I know how much work (and money) they put into it. They work hard for us so I want to make sure they know we appreciate it.
I really enjoyed meeting and spending time with everyone. I knew I would. This is a great group! I didn't really come there intending to sing but thanks to everyone there for putting up with me! When you have a great guitar player like that there, you gotta take advantage of it! And the late night singalong was great to! Can't wait till the next one!

Here are a few more random pictures of the festivities.

This picture was taken on Friday as I was just getting to the BBQ area. This is from across the pond into the covered area. I want to thank Dan Bailey for allowing us to gather here again this year. I did not get any pictures of him this year.


Here is one of some of the folks there, there were small groups of people every where just talking and having a great time.


On the right is Mrs. Shooter45 (Kaye) and one of her guests playing horseshoes. It took them a while to chase that horse down to get his shoes.


Another small group of folks chatting. There is Carl on the right checking the forum on Myles' laptop. There is Ozo over there on the left giving instructions, or telling a wild story (about the same).


This crazy dog (Ada) would never stop. If you threw a stick 1000 times, she would go get it and bring it back for the next one. She would never shake the water off at the edge of the pond, she would wait until she got right in the middle of a group of people, drop the stick, and then shake like crazy. I had about 30 pond water, dog infested showers. I would finally just move quickly away when I saw her coming.


Josh and Myles standing and Carl still looking at the computer.


The few problems with the world that were left over after Dan and Sam missed (in one of the earlier pictures) were finally worked out here with Myles and Dale.

We left Dalton, around 10:30AM Sunday morning, and made it home last night around 8:30PM. Lot's of bathroom stops, and food, and drink stops. Got up this morning a little late, took care of a few things that needed attention, and posted some photos on http://www.thefirearmsforum.com/show...=105580&page=8 Didn't even look to see if some one else had started another thread! Checked the rain gauge this morning and had 3". It's been raining all day, man we really needed this rain!

[Woodnut]

Words cannot describe the pleasure I had with the people that attended this year's TFF BBQ. The camaraderie was unbelievable. Most of you have already expressed my feelings exactly.
I left Dalton about 10:30 CST and arrived home about 6:30. I was so exhausted from the trip up there and the sleep I lost while there and the trip home I didn't even unload the truck, I just showered and went to bed.

However, I would like to say that Pink.com (OZO) has started an excellent thread. Not may times he can do that. But this time he made it. Thanks to all for the pictures. There's not much left to be said, ya'll have described it very well, so guess I will start downloading pictures and working on the Storyboard. Give me 2-3 days and I will try to come up with a good one this time.
Glad you all had fun. If you had as much as I did then it was worth the trip.
George,(Fly King), has your lips stopped burning yet? More to come on Fly King in the Storyboard. LOL.

Always remember....Flies have rights.

"Not may times he can do that. But this time he made it."-----woodNUT

Truth is, I couldn't do it without MamaOzo helping.....
I don't spell well, can't punctuate, and don't comprehend
what I read.
But I really like my new 'self-cleaners'......

And DD is 100% correct...!
[the flies do have rights..]

And they taste delicious with ketchup.

Sheesh, I don't know guys. If the 3 of us got together I can see it now. There wouldn't be a tub of thin mint left on the route to the TFF barbecue. Sounds kind of fun. My wife just told me to tell you guys that she will auction me off to you guys for a week. Highest bidder gets one of my revolvers? Oh, she's a funny girl.

[ozo]

I will start the bidding......
I will give you my 2 cents !
