    I don't want to get banned or my feelings hurt for the site staff not taking my suggestions, but I think a "Sizzler Countdown Clock" on the home page of the Dropzone would let Raven get a few extra hours of sleep rather than performing the high-level math to calculate it on his Poljot chronograph.

    We were the kids who would jump off a bridge if our friends did it.

    I have delayed this as long as I can, but have been unable to find a solution that allows me to go and meet y'all. Got hit, in May, with a surprise $8610 bill for offspring #2's schooling at the university she goes to. Bummer ...

    Hate to hear that Brother. Hope all is well, and I'm drinking your share of the alcohol.

    I'm working on whether to bring the new man or not. Neither my tent, nor my air mattress fit two people ( sorry Har), so I'm toying with the idea of renting an RV for the weekend so as to sleep in A/C and have room for more gear and a second person. I can't remember the layout at Chief's -- is there room to park a small rental RV?

    Also, I saw on FB that there is video from last year, but alas, I do not have access to the back rooms. Could someone PM me a link to Youtube, or some other way I could see it, and show the BF? ... or maybe that might scare him away

    Thanks!

    Affirmative for small size RV.
    PM sent.
    Consider me as an alternate if your man fails to show for A/C'd RV.
    I'll even bring permission slip from HH6.

    I don't know how you all do the flag ceremony, but I have a friend in the fire department who said they will give me some flags that they have slated for destruction if we want to use them.

    Certainly, Brother!
    Bring them over.
    Shadow and RH are in charge of the ceremony and doing one fine and quite touching job.
    No flags will be turned down.
