Howdy all  My family & I are recent political refugees/escapees from VA to Giles County. Yesterday, an ARFcommer had some vehicle trouble near Columbia when going back home to KY with his family. He posted in GD that he might need some help & we pitched in & helped him out. The one thing that helped more than anything else was that arowneragain & I had each others contact information. Of course, this was made easier by the fact that I have dined with his family at their house a few times & we have spent some time together over the last few months. If there are any others here who would like to at least get in touch or at least get to know each other, please chime in. I think it would come to be a very good thing in the future; Who knows which way the political winds will blow in the next few years, or if some big storms coming thru the area we might need each others help. My temporary location for now will be down near Elkton, but in a year or so we should be finished building our house near Richland. |

I'd love to do a get-together and would be willing to host.
We've tried to put something together before and it's always tough, but I think it's worth it. We live in interesting times and I think it's important to built as many ties as possible, as locally as possible. Also, shooting stuff is fun. |

I'll bring my smoker over on my utility trailer and do some smoked hamburgers, hot dogs,
and some country style ribs. I promise I won't ask to cook any of those goats

Fellow VA political refugee here. Moved to Warren county just over a year ago when they tried to make us all felons (ala HB961 and SB16). Not in the counties you listed, but know arowneragain pretty well and he's the best of people. If you all have a get together, I'd make the drive if I'm welcome.

The kitchen is all finished and it looks great! Shop build is done too. Next task is that durn fountain.

I am still alive & still in for this. All of the family is now here in TN. It will
be a hectic rest of August for us, but we will be able to make it in September. I will keep updating my attendees post once we get closer to the date. |

Hughes net was terrible when we tried it 4 yes ago, went with an air card, much better. Do know Ardmore has a grant that will bring fiber to our area, work starts this month. Might want to check on that before you contract up with anyone.

Might want to check on that before you contract up with anyone. The cornfield at the rental that touches our driveway is where PES Energize ends lol.... It is also the boundary where all cell signals go to die I can put the Hughes on pause when we get the new house finished, thank goodness it won't be a big bite that way. We are up & running on Hughes as I type this thru Hughes; wi-fi calling is working too. No TV yet & I don't know if we will try it. This is the first internet access for my wife & son in the last 3 weeks. We had a lot of fun sitting out on the front porch swatting skeeters & arm-pumping at the big rigs on 31 trying to get them to honk....Got quite a few to honk, at that |

I'm flexible on timeframe. And it isn't like there's a business meeting or anything so it doesn't have to be 100% at any given time.
OP, whatcha thinking? |

Saturday September 25th sounds great so far. I am sure we can start around 14:00
& will have plenty of leftovers & it can go on easily until 18:00 or later. I can bring my small smoker to do hamburgers & hot dogs on it to go along with the BBQ or whatever. Everyone may need to bring their favorite chair.... |

Wailp, since it's at your house I'd be inclined to say your rules.... I'm planning
to attend with my wife & son. I rarely ever drink, and I left most of my shooting irons in another location. I've got a .300 BLK I could run a couple of rounds thru, but most of my focus was going to be on making good hamburgers & hot dogs & meeting folks. I always enjoy watching others shoot, though
