I don’t think anything is planned. What kind of participation are we looking at let’s do a poll on seeing who would try to do something.

Everyone who would try reply below and let’s see where we get.

Would you try to come to Meetup this fall?

Would you have equipment to bring?

If we could schedule it right and there is enough participation to be worth doing it Id like to have it happen id plan on being there with a truck or two and some other fun stuff.

Good idea Jakob. Thanks!

I thought there was a way to see who voted, but I can’t seem to turn that on. For the record, I selected  
I most likely would attend Kentucky…

I’m hoping to make it to Kentucky this fall. I may bring a charcoal powered motorcycle (if it’s running), along with my truck.

Naturally, if a meeting is held further south, I would be interested in that as well, so I voted for both of those options.

It would be nice to see that nice truck of yours eating smoke. Last time it wasn’t quite there yet.

So far I see you and I have trucks to bring. Hopefully we can have a few more.

The Saenz family can’t make it this year unfortunately. We’re deep in construction mode, and I don’t see it letting up before winter. We’d love to be there and see everyone, it’s just not going to work out.

Not per se. We’re working on fixing up the old house at the moment, the new house is delayed for now. Long story… it’s still coming though.

To whoever might be compiling the poll of the list of attendees for the fall meetup; unfortunately I’m going to have to change my vote from yes to probably not.

Though it is the one thing I was most looking forward to, I just have too many (less desirable, but probably more necessary) sticks in the fire from now through Thanksgiving.

Everything from medical procedures being scheduled then, to being deployed for disaster relief working in flooded parts of Indiana----and that’s not nearly the half of it.

So sorry. God bless you everyone.

Thanks for the update Barry. I’m disappointed, but there does not seem to be much interest in gathering. It’s a real shame as I’ve certainly enjoyed the times I’ve attended.
