    If its nice on Saturday I think my buddy wants to drive out to the sutton area. I may follow him. Hes in a Subaru so I dunno what exactly we'd do, but at least it'd be a nice drive.

    Hooky-bobbin!

    Sooo our next meet, should be in February. My feb/ march is crazy busy with work. Easter is important in what I do, so I may be out for meets. Definitely no weekends free for this guy. That being said, nick had an idea that I thought would be fun, a midweek dinner meet at Buffalo Wild Wings.

    What if we did something where everybody brought the fam?

    Ya i figured most people would be available for a 7pm dinner on a wednesday or something. We had a good turn out our first meet at mooses tooth so why not hit the same time slot. Itll give the guys that cant make weekends a chance to show up. So why dont we try around feb 20th 7pm? Then if we have a group that wants to do a mini meet/trail run during a weekend they can on the one of the three weekends before then.

    Mid-week is good for me! Pretty open in February for now!\

    Zac, I don't know anywhere specific hiring know, but if you can stand retail, I know places will hire for weekends.

    Retail will probably be your best bet for the immediate future, I know a buddy that has a lot of connections in the welding industry, I'll ask him this weekend if he knows of anyone hiring welders.

    February/March are open for me, no extensive field work planned yet.

    Just looking at ferry costs from Homer to Kodiak for fun.....

    Put in some random dates in July and the total for the round trip is about $150... it is a 9 hour ferry ride. And that cost does not include a cabin (who needs those anyway?) They have a "special" going that passenger goes free with a vehicle :D


    Just to get everyone thinkin about this :D Probably going to take a little more planning than your average meet ;)
