[towerclimber37]

I'll be there!

I am taking off work to make it there..so Julie and I will be there.

Builderwood (James) will also be there unless I miss my guess.

Mark will be there for sure...yep..he made it off the ship.

[Mike.357]

I am looking at the weather and unless it really takes a turn for the worse I will be coming up Friday night and setting up camp off the side of the driveway.

[Guest c.a.s.]

I should be coming, if mom feels like driving me.

I'll have to let HER shoot this time instead of only working the camera.

[bubbiesdad]

If she doesn't, you can ride with me.

Mike, I think I'll wimp out on the camping. My mother is having a few more problems and I had better stay a bit closer to the land line. Maybe I can drop by for a while.

[Mike.357]

your Mother's needs come first Mars, always

Maybe you can make it out for a while. It would be nice to see you again.

[Guest Boomhower]

As it stands now, I will be working double time this Sat......However, if for some reason that changes, or I get down pretty early, I'm planning on heading up that way......What time does everyone start to fizzle out?

[towerclimber37]

it'll probably taper off around dark...then again..there's gonna be fires.

[bubbiesdad]

I procured some cardboard today. Hopefully will get some more. I'm planning on going and if someone from around Oak Ridge is going and wants a lift just holler.

[Guest c.a.s.]

I'll most probably bring just the .22s, because of the price of ammo

BUT, if the guy with the .50 comes, I'll have to see about purchasing a shot just to see what it's like and be able to say I fired a .50BMG.

[Mark@Sea]

Cody, you reload all that 30-30 already?

I'm a little busy with projects this week - 5 months worth of honey-do's, replace the flooring in the master bath, and start rebuilding the main deck. Don't think I will have time to build target frames, but I can pick up the wood for them.

Campers - I've got firewood cut and stacked, have a tent I can loan out, stoves and lanterns, and 2 of the good camping areas have picnic tables.

Everyone - We have a new neighbor in the house down by the river, please do not park in their driveway (their side of the rail fence) or block the road. Feel free to park anywhere else, though.

[Guest c.a.s.]

I have a TON of .30-06SPRG and .30-30WIN brass without dies, primers, or bullets for them. Gramps has had thoughts of cleaning up an old relatives reloading press and looking around for dies, but he hardly gets around to any of his projects.

My tile floor is too soft at the moment, so I'll be taking the reloading set out ot my grandparent's when I got the chance and load up what I can, because they not only have a brick fireplace (they used to have a stove, now it's a propane heater) the rest of the floor is concrete.

I may ask for a simple reloading press with my three biggest dies (obvious calibers) for Cristmas. Hopefully I'll have a job by then.

I need to count the brass for each caliber and mark how many there are. I know I have 53 deprimed .270WIN waiting for a trip out to the grandparent's.

[Mike.357]

Anyone heard from CleanSeries80?

Looking forward to the camping and the shooting.

[Marswolf]

Looking forward to the camping and the shooting.

You know when you will set up camp?

[Mike.357]

You know when you will set up camp?

I am hopeful to be there by 5 pm or so. I will not know for sure until I see what wine and liquor I have to sling Friday before I am free to go.

[Mark@Sea]

Look forward to seeing you, Mike. You bringing the wife?

My sister and bro-in-law should also be here - he's a hoot and loves to shoot. Tower will be here (I think), haven't heard from CleanSeries80, right now the only ones I can bet on showing are you, the family, CAS and Bubbiesdad, I think. A maybe; a young lady I met at a local gunshop who wants to try some various carry-type things to see what she likes.

You may be the only camper . Well, I'll spring for dinner Friday night. What sounds good?

Finished the new flooring in the bathroom today, tomorrow the wood will be delivered for the main deck. I'll be a mowing and weed-eating fool tomorrow, I think.

[Guest GLOCKGUY]

Man i wish i could come. I got to go to a stupid wedding Saturday. Boy ill be having fun

[Mike.357]

the wife is not coming. Someone has to stay home to take care of her dog. And well since it is her dog she is elected, LOL

Looking forward to hanging out with you all.

I would like to fire a few night time shots Friday if possible. Might be kind of neat to see the flash from a BP revolver and the Nagant when it is dark out.

Dinner sounds great!

See ya Friday. Hopefully I will get on the road early enough to be at your place by late afternoon

[Mark@Sea]

Night shoot. Sounds fun. One word - CANNON.

[Mike.357]

CANNON.

oh heck YES!!!!

looks like I should be on the road by noon or one o'clock. Light day tomorrow at work. So as long as the do not stick it to me I will be out of the early! Might be up at your place by 2:30 or 3:00

[towerclimber37]

I'm not sure I'm going to make it out guys. Juile is pretty tired of running every weekend. we've been gone for the last 4 consecutive weekends and she said it's about time to relax and hang out here...and save some money.

I also smashed the hal 9000 (the phone that julie gave me 6 months ago)..

truth to tell I'm a bit tired of making that run allatime too..need a break.

we'll see what we can do though, come Friday.

I asked for some personal days off ( have like 3 or 4 of em) but the boss says he can't give me any since we've got some cuts coming around that time and he needs me here. Last time I went home, I stayed 3 days and didn't really want to leave then..LOL!

we'll see though.

[Mike.357]

dude I hope you make it up, but if not I understand. We will miss you.

[Guest SUNTZU]

Looks like Kat and I will be there sometime tomorrow afternoon. Gonna take a look at the directions next. Anything I can bring to help with targets?

[towerclimber37]

you can bring a chinese guy to hold up the targets.

that would be interesting...LOL!

[Guest Phantom6]

I can tell you from experience that being "missed" at a Kingsport meet is a good thing!
