Default Big Bad BoB BBQ may be on again....

Have been agonizing with setting a date, time and place that will fit everyone and fit other interesting events.....

TRIAL BALLOON AT THIS POINT.......

BB #? WILL NOW MIGRATE TO FILL THE VOID OF THE FORMER CC
JUNE 26TH 27TH 2010.

The reasoning behind the change is.......

We missed having one last Summer.

September is Coe Hill....

August 15th is now Windsor and I intend to be there.

July 17th 18th is the new Blue Balls Express with the Quebec guys and will want to participate.

Well that leaves the old CC dates...... which are right at the longest days of the year.... bugs are just leaving..... Summer heat arriving... beer time

So before renting/booking equipment it would be nice to get a feel for who would be interested.......

Same as previous years..... slow arrival on Friday evening June 25th... big bash on Saturday June 26th...... late supper, bonfire, etc.. oh yes beers...
wrap up on Sunday morning.

Primitive camping, Menu, details, etc. to follow depending on numbers.....

Who is in...?

BooBee

Sally and I are in!

Everybody: this is a GREAT weekend! Make it if you can. The Ottawa Rotters are magnificent hosts and the location is ideal! Let's make this another success...

Count me (and my M38A1) in for Saturday as well as a possible for my Mk.II (and his Iltis).

Default BBB4 Sitrep

Since I am at home, here's a sitrep on the BBQ. Things are going quite well in Hammond. Gilles and company have set up a complete military kitchen and served supper about an hour or so ago. The food was fantastic! Roast pork, salad, small potatoes, mushrooms and onions were on the menu. There will be no weight lost this weekend.

The boys (and a few girls) were setting up hootchies/tents/or unpacking their airstream trailers (yes, one set of hardy souls are really roughing it this weekend) as I was leaving. Most were into the beer and all were telling tall tales of conquests, restoration projects and things CMP.

Tomorrow, Gilles et cie, will be slinging the hash for breakfast just after sun up. Bob, a volunteer and I will be bringing three trucks to the big field in the first ever Hammond CMP Convoy. The three trucks will join the other mil vehs already parked there.

I will be camping out tomorrow night and will send a sitrep via mobile device if the time and beer permit.

Sorry! No photos (yet).

I was hoping I was going to get up there this afternoon, but right now it doesn't look like it's going to happen. If I can make it so, I shall ring BooBee's cell before I hit the road - otherwise, you guys have a great time, and take lots of pics! This definitely sounds like the event of the year (so far!)...

Boob,

Default Nice to hear from you guys.....

Stuart

Will be glad to set you up...... the more Iltisssesss the better.


Stew....... we hardly have any snow now..... probably more than you but you are getting a dump tonite aren't you..... we currently have about 6 to 8 inches of hard frozen snow...... I am sure will get more by the end of March but I only used the snow blower 3 times this year so far....


FOR ALL PRACTICAL PURPOSES THE BBBBBBQ 4 IS ON FOR THIS YEAR........if it is small it will be intimate.... if more shows up it'll be wild.....

Boob

I'm a licensed amateur radio operator and will probably spend some time with Stuart since that weekend is the Field Day for "hams".
