Chattanooga-Tennessee River Gorge Run, 7.31

[roadtripse]

but if you are going to do all of this driving, could you slide by Jackson Hole and pick up the Weasel? He seems to be having a hard time escaping from his new compound up there this year!

Seriously though, why all the driving any ways? I got to think there is a direct flight out of Hotlanta to where ever we need to be in Iowa,
get there faster, get home faster, recuperate faster, and be ready for Chattanooga faster.

To quote Randy, "Donzi gatherings are like going to visit family, the difference being that you like everyone at a Donzi gathering." He says this to me almost every time I see you guys.

Now as for the girls, please talk amongst yourselves...

I talked to the marina Sunday. They had just fired the maintenance guy so there was a bunch of drama. It is too bad because he actually walked the docs and helped out.

The girl there THINKS Buiz and Poodles's spots are open. I will talk to Bridgette today. She knows what is going on. My advice, call and talk to BRidgette. Get those posts nailed down.

I am getting a few things done on the work side right now, but will call "Grillmaster SE" when I hit the road to discuss food. The A-Dockers are ready to party. They were on Sunday.

Grillmaster SE, sounds kind of like a rapper.

[roadtripse]

As Hedge eluded to, we will have a couple of grilling choices arranged for A-dock Saturday night, because everybody likes choices...

So expect a little something like this below, when you approach the grill to grab your meal choice.

You can go with this, or you go with that...

I have a few maybes. Am I missing anyone? Hedge is still tired from the 4th so anything is possible.

[roadtripse]

Jerry and Diane are a maybe. I'll call him. I do know the trawler went to the water this
past weekend, so he has that out of the way, which was his reason for not commiting.
Clean white 22.

Cliff and Di are a scratch. Lippy is a scratch.

Russ Kilby and Sheila are coming. Gray Ghost 22.

Um, Lenny and Deneen????

And I never stopped celebrating the 4th, so there may be more...

GMSE here reporting in with a status report:

We are picking them up today from our local Milford, Michigan butcher. Best grill meats we have ever had, after living a lot of places. Should have about two-dozen of the buggers. Donated by the Midwest Donzi Club. Thanks Byron and Jerry for agreeing to kick-in a little here.

We will also throw a few pieces of bone-in-breast chicken out there for those in the crew who don't feel like tackling a big chunk of beef.

Tim and Deb are bringing a big bunch of twice-baked potatos and Bill and Christina are providing a salad.

We are going to need some appetizers, maybe some more sides, and perhaps a dessert or two. So you gourmets out there, plan on bringing something for the feast!

Going to be good! A Donzi crew NEVER goes hungry and they won't on A-Dock Saturday night!

Tex checking in , I'm on the plane flying back from San Francisco as I type this, I will be able to muster up some apps to help out with the event...as well as mixed drinks and frozen concoctions for all those interested... If I am correct I will be arriving on Thursday with the weezle , i will pick him up at the airport on the way up to Hales bar...and getting things prepped for the long weekend of Donzi addicted folks burning up lots of fuel.... We need to get final headcount for provisions or did I miss something here....
Let me know, looking forward to catching up with everyone....

[roadtripse]

I am working on 20-25, just to be safe, from a food pespective. Drinks? Double it.

I talked to the A dock folks. We have a large metal grill. Jamie will start it for us during the run if we like. I will probably throw in for food for another 15 people for goodwill with the A dockers. It will be a good party.
