2006 BBQ Possibilities

I know 2 people personally that died in that river. They were both in good
shape, and also had lifejackets. A jacket won't save you in a whirlpool sometimes.
 
I'm still trying to finance eating this summer. But I've been told that if I can't manage to finance a family thing, I should still work out a way to get myself down to where ever it's happening. I'm thinking a closed cap for the pickup, and the old air mattress.

Can you get busted for drinking beer in a pickup camper?

Can't we just hang out in a pretty area with 20 pounds of smoked meat and a keg?

not if you are in a campsite parking spot. (no keys in the ignition)

So no brewskis if I'm napping in a Walmart parking lot? Damn.

It varies by city. Here, no open containers in the city limits on public/business properties.

If I go maybe we can carpool!! *imagines driving with Prof in the passenger seat* it would be like the first day I ever drove with my dad...except now I wouldn't be hitting the curb...but I'd probably still be getting CONSTANT instruction :p
 
No, I've learned to shut up. If that was to happen, I'd probably be spending most of the time sleeping. You'll still have to learn stick, tho.

I want to learn to drive stick...someone is suppose to teach me but we haven't got a chance yet.
 
You wanna learn stick? Here ya go.

first thing, start the car. No. not like that. First make sure that the car is in neutral. That's the centre position. Then shove in the clutch. That's the pedal on the right where you're used to seeing the parking brake. Not as high tho. Now turn the key. Started up, now put the car into first gear with your right hand. Drop your right hand to the hand brake lever between the seats. Give the engine just(fuck) a little gas and ease up on the clutch slowly. When the car starts to shudder gently, let off the hand brake completely, ease on a little more gas, and ease out the clutch. When the engine starts to whine, let off the gas, push in the clutch, shift to the next highest gear, and release the clutch, while getting back on the gas.

You can now drive stick. Have a nice day, and pay the woman at the door on your way out.

I guess I shouldn't say LEARN as my dad did teach me...but I only got to drive twice and only for about 10min at a time...so I KNOW the fundamentals I just require some practice as dead end dirt roads are not the same as the middle of a busy city.
 
Professur said:
Why not? Same clutch, same shifter, same driver.

Cause the road didn't have hills...and I didn't have to stop and start a bunch...I need PRACTICE I said.

I'm not quite sure about your car, but my clutch is on the LEFT, next to the brake pedal. My gas pedal is on the RIGHT. :D

I'm here-ish. :D

I spend 9-10hrs a day in front of a computer diagnosing and fixing problems via the internet. More if you count weeks on-call or doing backups. Sitting down in front of a computer is usually the last thing I want to do when I get home. ;) I stop by when I can.

We're still game for the summer party in the midwest. We've just not had the time to sit and do the needed preliminary planning for specific dates and whatnot. :(

How about a month-long shindig? Come and go as you please; stay as long as you like....beer runs can be done any day of the week between 11am and 10pm, except Sundays. :D
 
Nice idea, except the whole ides of the BBQ is to be able to say "word up, yo" to more thn a few people. It was great getting to meet Unc, Tonks, catocom and HL, but meeting prof, SL and sam as well added a lot to it, and it would have been even better if Spot and chcr were able to make it as originally planned.

Oh no....

Forgot the two of them are going to have to plan something which involves making decisions....

Can't even get them to agree on a time so I can come see their dog and new furniture. FYI they live like 3 miles away from me.

Here is an idea, get out a calendar. Highlight a weekends after the kids head off. If you hit a weekend with a dart that is the weekend of the BBQ. I know it doesn't have the spontaneous, crazy, last, minute feel but at least it will solve the date issue. *peepwall*
