yeah i agree, i should have stuck around, but dammit lightning scares the hell out of me
...
last time we had a thunderstorm like that one i was at work outside, and a lightning bolt hit the field right behind where i work prolly less than 50 yards away, i almost fell to the ground , i could feel the buzz from the bolt hitting the ground and i had ringing in my ears for the next 2 days, some scary stuff, so whenever i see lightning i run fast...
as far as people bringing supplies & whatnot, maybe it's better one person takes care of bringing the core supplies ( i.e hot dogs, burgers, ketchup,buns etc. ) ..... I don't have a problem bringing charcoal, lighter fluid, buns, hot dogs etc. , i just go to BJ's and get an assload of food and be done w/ it. I would just need enough time advance notice to set aside funds for such a BBQ.
I would say middle of december should suffice, around the 12th, shouldn't have rain problems & weather should be nice & cool, not so hot & humid like summer. Also should be enough time for people to plan on getting their rides up and moving ( cough Hwayne cough )
....
If all agree i will start a thread in the next few days after ppl start to get back into their routine so the excitement of a meet gets ppls emotions revving again LOL
