Me too please!

Also, I can give anyone a ride up from Boston. The wife's not coming this time, so I don't know if there'll be any pasta salad with me.

crashwg · « **Reply #202 on:** May 31, 2005, 05:53:07 pm »

As of right now, I'm out...

1. I have no vehicle. Yes someone could pick me up on the way but that leads me to #2

2. I have no money for tokens nor any to chip in for beer/food

This could change at any time though as my GF's step dad often has me do odd jobs with him wich would earn me some money. So as long as nobody minds me making a last minute decision, I may or may not be comming.

I attempted to have a Crap Sale today (no realy, it's all a bunch of crap!) and all I could make was $2.25

I sold a stuffed dog thingy and a picture frame.

I'll give it another go tomorrow but if I can't get at least $30, I'm out.

Update:
Talked to Chad (he came to the first two meets) and if he gets a check in the mail tomorrow as he is planning to we will be there. I'm hoping to get Lee-Ann's mother to watch Jayleigh too, but if that doesn't happen there'll be 4 of us.

Yay! I might get to spend all these tickets that I still have from the last meet!

SirPeale · « **Reply #210 on:** June 03, 2005, 07:47:30 am »

You tried a sale *yesterday?* It was Thursday, man! Of course you're not going to make diddly.

Ed ONeill · « **Reply #211 on:** June 03, 2005, 08:41:09 am »

Chad...sorry to hear you can't make it ...Is there any chance you may reconsider?

Peale ..what's up with you any chance youu can come

Crashwg ...I'll pick you up if you need a lift ...heck you already have $2.25 for tokens ...LOL

MR C. Not being from New England I can understand if you don't know what this meant ...LOL but just to clarify ....BYOB means
Bring
Your
Own
Booze

Ok we still need side dishes (at least I think we do) ....tecknique asked what he could bring I politely asked for pasta potatoe salad...someone couuld easily make a run to the grocery store store after funspot .

I wouldn't have come anyway, due to the tournament, but family obligations take priority here. Daughter will be a month old on the 6th, and I'm not going to saddle the wife to watch the kids and the baby while I play some games. Wife wants to play too!

Well, of course I know that, but it's not like I have many other options I need the money by saturday so I can't exactly have the yard sale on saturday

Honestly though, if I sell anything I have not wasted my time. Everything I'm trying to get rid of just sits arround wasting space. If I could get an average of a quarter per item I would still get like $20 though and that's a few games! I think I'll lower my prices today as a mater of fact...

What are you selling crash ?

mr.Curmudgeon · « **Reply #216 on:** June 03, 2005, 12:19:13 pm »

Hey y'all, don't forget to print out and CUT OUT* your 50 FREE TOKEN coupons: http://www.funspotnh.com/mws-coupon.htm
*They won't accept them unless they're completely clipped out.

I don't mind stopping at the store on the way to Ed's to pick up some side stuff. I'd offer to make a side dish, but since I can't make anything really healthy, I'd better not. I'm responsible for my own cholesterol...don't want to be responsible your y'alls.

What are you selling crash ?

A bunch of candles, all wrapped some in glass thingies.
6 beta fish bowls, the kind that you can have stuff growing out of
30 kids books 10 of each title, mt biking, rock climbing, clara barton
1 kids fishing pole, no reel, florecent orange!

1 nylon stringed (no strings currently) Acoustic guitar w/ gig bag
1 push mower, pratically new, had a bent thing but I fixed it

I think that's it. It's all stuff that I have aquired over the years from various sources and for various reasons. All stuff I don't need and probably never will, but it was free and I can't pass up a deal like that! Oh, the fishing pole was mine, I got it for my birthday when I was like 10 and the guitar I got for christmas like 5 years ago.

P.S. Ed, I don't need a ride. Stealing my mother's car for the day. It's not like she needs to go anywhere...

GREAT time, everyone! Ed, the steak tips were great but that Dave guy talks too much.

MrC, what's the name of that Flying-Owl Lodge in Maine? I need to start working on Alison now so by next summer or so I'll be ready to go.

Ed ONeill · « **Reply #227 on:** June 06, 2005, 09:13:22 am »

Screaming......You left your hot sauce at my place now that is just an excuse to getogether and go jet sking ...LOL

#1Chad ....CONGRATS ON YOUR FIRST POST ! It's about time

Recyccled Past ...You forgot some money on the table

..you guys shouldn't have done that ...You only owe me breakfast man ...LOL.

So recap of the events :

Ok so this time I won round 1 on Daytona...#1 Chad won round 2. Chris (Recycled-Pasts' friend) won the skeeball contest with 300 points.We ate some greaet food ..that chef is awesome . OH, and Like Screaming said Dave (Mr. C) talked too much...just kidding.

For those who didn't attend :
It was well worth entering the contest
They gave us a bunch of trinkets, 200 tokens, and 2 bottle of Hot Sauce..1 from Funspot and one from Billy Mitchell ...well I think it was from him. That breaks down to 15 cents per token which is only 3 cents more per token if you used the coupon .

Now for those of you who missed it ...get ready the next meet is going to be in August..... We are going to pick a date and that is it...it is not going to change . I talked briefly with Marc (tek nique), and there we are going to try to change it up a bit ! We are thinking a weekend get together as opposed to the one day event ....most of us stayed both days anyways !

SO pay attention to the date and try to make it !

Peale and Chad Tower There should be no excues this time

I can make any excuses that I want. Not limited to and including that the originator of the quoted message is trying to kill me, and I'm avoiding him.

JoyMonkey · « **Reply #229 on:** June 06, 2005, 10:14:51 am »

I was so upset that Recyled Past left without cooking breakfast, I wept like a little girl for the entire 2 hour drive home

Ed was saying that next time we should pick a game at Funspot and see who can get the highscore. I was thinking about it and maybe everyone could put $10 into a hiscore pot and we could buy something BYOAC related to use as a prize (like maybe a 49-way stick and a GP-Wiz). Then we could pick a game at random on the day and all play like our lives depend on it!

Agreed. He's very handsome though!! (Not in a gay way)

MrC, what's the name of that Flying-Owl Lodge in Maine? I need to start working on Alison now so by next summer or so I'll be ready to go.

They're called Libby Camps (http://www.libbycamps.com/outposts/locations.html)

We stayed at the most remote outpost cabin they have (pictured above), it's called the Cliff Lake Camp and the description is as follows: "Allagash headwater pond 60 miles from the nearest town. Log cabin sets on the thoroughfare between Cliff Lake and Twin Lakes, a combination of a deep clear rocky lake and a shallow, marshy lake. Brook Trout and Lake Trout make for good fishing. The lakes have many ledge outcrops, islands, spring inlets and Norway Pine Points, an excellent area for exploring. The camp sleeps up to six people and may be accessed by seaplane or gated private gravel drive. Cabin has one double and four single beds. Cabin has 14' deep V boat, 17' canoe and a kayak."

I'll send you a link to the photo album of our trip, so you can show Alison more pictures of what she'd be in for. Make sure you tell her that they'll rent you a satellite phone ($10/day) for emergencies. They'll fly in with the sea plane if there are any problems. We stayed 9 days and they flew over twice to make sure we weren't trying to send smoke signals.

BTW, everyone: Here's the owl pics I was talking about:

I sort of figured the first part of that out from context, thanks. The second part is far from settled.
