Damn, this sucks but please count me out. Unfortunately I have to work that weekend and I do not have the vacation left to even ask for it off. I have to save what I have left for the Quantico class in August.

I guess a hog would be too much hassle , as much as I'd like to do that, whatever you guys want to do is okay with me. L-R-T is right: we could by steak for less, I agree that burgers, dogs, chicken is a good way to goSo how could we work out paying you to pay Sam's club Are you going to get EVERYTHING? i.e., charcol, burgers, dogs, steaks, etc? What are you thinking on this Chef-Boy-A-R-15?  How soon/late do we have to get you the money to get the food? And: Is the grill going to be here Friday night too? Are we going to fend for ourselves Friday night then have a group feedfest Saturday? Since you have vounteered to be our man at the grill, what are you thinking of how to do what? Do you have a canopy we could put next to the grill so we don't cook in the sun? |

Man! 19k! That's a lot of ammo and AR funds, too! Why if I could buy that unit I could no longer pose myself as "A Reg'lar Guy" Well, who out there can get a grill? That guy who rents the port-a-johns here said he'd rent us one for $75.00 and that's in AMERICAN FUNDS! What a rip off. Anyone got ideas? |

Edwards to leave us real Americans alone 6. a few gallons corn likker from Whynot with some Luck's Blackeyed Beans Any other ideas anyone? to be continued... |

Now where did I put my weber kettle? I'd be happy to help cook, but I really think that the hog is too much trouble. I guess we've already concluded that. What I was wondering is: a friend of mine has an old toilet that's been sitting in his backyard for a few years, can we use it as a target? I think it would be something to watch the porcelain fly. It's up to ReelVirginian1861 since it's his family's land. I'll pick up the pieces, as long as there are pieces big enough to pick up. Anyway, just thought I'd mention it. Let me know. MJD

I was looking at the prices for some of the big grills to rent. They aren't cheap. They seem to be about $75-100 per day. Just thought I'd pass that along. MJD

I posted a bit back that the guy we are getting to port-a-john from has a big grill (I think it's propane) and wants $75.00 to rent it for the weekend. Maybe he's not a rip off??? But then that's $75.00 worth of ammo, hot dogs, burgers, beers. etc we will be deprived of. And I've got a right to the pursuit of happiness with a warm gun.
Let me know what y'all think about renting the grill, it would be easier to have one big one than 200 smaller ones. GRILL ALERT!!! WE NEED BIG GRILL!!! ANYONE GOT GRILL??? |

Hey guys - sorry if I'm a bit late to the party here. I mentioned earlier that I know some people that may be able to help with food. I know Bill Brock of Brock's BBQ and he often does things for our church. I also know the youth group there is always trying to pull together funds for a trip to South America to build churches or something. I imagine between the two we can work something out.
It looks as if we're a no-go for food right now, right? If so, I'll contact them and see what I can get worked out. Obviously, a better headcount would help!! Black Fox |

Hey guys, Va-gunnut says he has the port-a-john funds, I called the boy up the road this morning and he will rent us both the port-a-john and a propane gas big assed grill for $125.00 for Fri, Sat & Sunday.
What do y'all think? He will deliver the port-a-john and I'll pick up the grill. Do y'all think this is reasonable? Or, do we keep shopping? My thoughts? It eliminates a lot of hassles: it's local, and I've only got to tow it seven miles. Oh yes, and he supplies the propane. CALLING L-R-T!!! CALLING L-R-T!!! CALLING L-R-T!!! L-R-T: What do you think? He'll have the units here Friday afternoon and we don't have to do anything but cook and use the mobile outhouse. Does this suit you, as you are our Master Chef? Let me know what y'all think now, ASAP! |

Black Fox: Hold the phone! It ain't over yet. But don't lose that thought while we ponder, some more again. As an aside, my cousin (the landowner) and his men's group cooks BBQ for their church. I axed him about his group doing the cooking for us to raise funds. He said we didn't have enough folks to make it worth their while. I also axed my other cousin (a Ruritan) who also cooks BBQ for folks, he said the same thing. We might be better off fending for ourselves. But, do not cast your friend's church group aside just yet. |

RV1861: So far, I think this is the best deal we've found. $125 for the john, and the grill for 3 days is a great price in my opinion. Most places I found wanted $75/day just for the grill. My opinion is to jump on this before he changes his mind. What does everybody else think? MJD |

The price definitely sounds good IMO. Reloader-Bob donated $100 towards the porta-john and whatever else was needed, so that will cover almost all of the rental fee.

I can only comment on the shoots I've put on in the past. I've always covered the outlay of money until the shoots, and then recouped the money when the shoot took place. However you want to do it will be fine with me. Reloader-Bob sent me the money already, so just let me know how you want to handle it. |

I called Glenn (port-a-john & grill man) and he said don't worry about it, he'll collect after the weekend. My worry was the grill (he only has the one) might get rented out on us, so I offered to pay now to make sure we had it for the 22, 23, 24th. He said don't worry, it was ours. So, I guess the deal is done. Oh, BTW, he's a local boy and has done me many, many, favors in the past, so we can depend on his word. So, we are set for the Grill and the Port-a-John!!! So, let's cook'em up and blast 'em off!!! Where's L-R-T???? Grill Alert for L-R-T!!! Are you ready for the country??? |

Howdy and please accept my apologies but work has been long and longer. This sounds excellent and for the price of the grill rental for three days is excellent, I say we go for it and I will accept the great honor as the grill mister. I will start a thread for what we want as far as hamburgers and hot dogs, chicken etc. so we can get a good idea of what we need to buy. I will need you not only to vote but also to make a comment so we know others will not taint our food survey. Also I will make some of my world famous, hot dog chili for you folks that like your sauce a little on the edge. <HOT> aren’t any dang beans in my chili either! I will supply all the flatware and plates for us and let me look around for some more items, also have plenty of food service gloves and cooking utensils so no need for anyone to worry about that. |

I was talking to VA_Gunnut earlier today and it looks like I am coming down for this. Seeing as how you fine Virginians have always been so gracious at all the shoots I've come down for, I'm returning the favor with a donation to the operations fund. This should cover the remainder of the rental fees and give LRT a decent chunk of the food budget he'll need. VA_Gunnut has my money so send all invoices to him...
 If you guys need help with anything else prior to the shoot, let me know. |

Hey, I was thinking about something the other day. Does anybody like the idea of holding an informal swap meet at the blastfest? Lots of people have old stuff in the safe that they may not want/need any more, and I can't think of a better way to showcase your wares. Lots of people could see the items you have for sale in person instead of just reading a description on the EE. I don't know if time or logistics will allow it (with everything else going on), but I'll put the idea out there. What do you think? MJD

Just my opinion based on past experience running events like this - don't bite off too much in one chunk. You've got a first-time multi-day shooting/camping/BBQ event, on new/untested property, which is tough enough to get off the ground. Don't try to do too much this time out, make what you've got successful and look to expand a little bit next time. |

I'm in. I'll probably have to leave late Sat. night, but I'm in.
Oh, and for the swapmeet, I'll have some things I'll just be interested in getting rid of. Will post those a few days prior. Nothing really good, but some of the stuff should be useful nonetheless. |
