[AT] CUBFEST 2004 countdown

[Larry D. Goss]

So what's happening with the plans for eating?

Just curious, but I'm reasonably adept at finding some sort of stuff to
bring for a pot-luck or pitch-in.  I'll be on the road a little too long
to bring stuff that needs refrigeration, but there are other things that
will keep for the drive.  Have you made any decisions about the general
menu?  Or are you just going to let nature take its course?

Current plans are that I'll need to head toward Rennselaer on Friday
afternoon in time to be in that general area around 7:30.  I may drive
back to Shelbyville that night, but won't know for sure until that day.
I'll also be taking my trailer with me on Friday, so will leave the
tractor at your place until I get back from Rennselaer.  I presume this
is OK with you.

Larry

Not counting today there are 12 days until CUBFEST 2004.

Note: this is the bulk of the message I posted to the board 
at www.farmallcub.com last night so it is 11 days now...   :-)

I keep having this gnawing feeling that I'm going to wake up 
on the morning of the 18th and say OH! $#!#!!! I should have 
... before now.
I finished planting corn today with the old 4 row #56 IHC 
planter and my Farmall Super MTA. I'm getting a lot more 
done now that it has decided it doesn't really need to rain 
every blasted day. Son Scott started disking the soybean 
ground today, it wont take long to drill them. It is years 
like this that make me glad that I am a very small farmer. 
Actually I am a very big farmer, I just don't farm very many 
acres. I do have about 25 acres of hay to bale. Is anybody 
bringing a baler along with their CUB?
I also among other things today, sprayed the picnic/campfire 
gathering area and about 1/2 of the camping area with a 
broad spectrum insecticide. I will finish spraying the 
campground area tomorrow. I plan to spray it again about the 
12th. I don't like to use insecticides just willy nilly but 
I figure that it may help with the creepy crawlies and 
skeeters and as long as it has plenty of time to weather 
down it will be fine. I may hit the bushy areas with the 
fogger about the 16th just for skeeters. I like to keep our 
skeeters under control so they don't carry off the cats too bad.
About eating... At George Willer's we had a couple of 
pitch-in type dinners. I am really fond of pitch-in type 
dinners. They make eating a nice visit instead of just 
people wandering off to themselves and stuffing food in 
their faces all alone. How about a little discussion about 
eating??? At George Willer's the Dotsons went "above and 
beyond" in organizing food stuff. I'm a little at a loss in 
that area. Oh yes, I am an eating expert, just not a meal 
organizing expert.
