2016 Summer Gathering - Mingo Sportsman Club - July 22-24

Bring a couple arm loads of firewood. Too hot to be cutting shit. LOL

I bought a 9# pork shoulder for the smoker. I'll have enough charcoal to throw some deer loins on there too if someone wants them done like that. Did that for UFC 200 and draped bacon over it. Yeah, fantastic.

I also have 10#s of taters to fry and am going to bread and deep fry some golden zucchini from the garden. Got a sweet chili ranch to dip it in.

And I'm mostly healthy. Some lingering issues, but I feel better by the minute. May have to take it somewhat easy, but I'm good to go.
 
Ok. I want to be conscious of having too much and having guys drop big $ on food that could be excess. With this many ppl, do we want to start getting meal details by day or just wing it?

With this heat, limited time to leave food out and big draw on cooler space/ice.

Sorry, Im OCD.
 
After being invited so that I could have some knowledge dropped on me over the course of the weekend, I hoped to work it so that I could attend. But then I went out and bought a tree stand just before my marriage anniversary. Between having no dough to travel to the other side of the state (and having no provisions), trying to get the old house in order to put on the market, and managing to save a few dollars for the anniversary I won't be able to make it out to the gathering. Stinks, as I was hoping to have everyone laugh at me while I try to figure out how to dial in a scope, gracefully poop in the woods, and not come off like a complete ignoramus. Such is life.
 
We're gonna need to be real conscious about leaving food out. Keep that in mind. Anything that needs to be kept cold, is gonna need a cooler. It would not be fun for 2016 to be the year of the TOO-sponsored foodbourne illness. Lol

Rule #1: Try and Poop before leaving the house.
Rule #2: Don't let the Poop fall into your own pants.
Rule #3: If rule #2 does not work...don't tell anyone! rotflmao
 
Hicks was running a little behind schedule and did not want to take additional time to get the ramps out TOO load his dirt bike so he just went for it and improvised.

Haha. That is actually a trials bike. Quite impressive. NOT me. That was my stunt double. Lol
 
With what everyone is bringing, I don't think a mini fridge would do it. Mike, would it be worth our while for you to talk to the club about having a permanent one out there, only ran on the genny the user brings? Maybe our extra donation $ could help? Im not saying we should be the ones to provide the funds for the fridge, but a portion, since we will get great usage from it over our weekend.
