Minnesota Get-Together
Minnesota's been treating me well. It's good to know there's actual dirt under all that damn snow and ice. Now if we can just settle into a string of 65+ degree weekends without the 80 mph winds, we'll be all set. The weathermonkey says it's coming, but I'm not holding my breath.
A few months back, several of us talked about a Minnesota get-together sometime in May. Well, it's May and that means we need to narrow down a date. I'm thinking Sunday the 23rd (the weekend before Memorial Day weekend) would be just about perfect. Maybe the old man (Bumpster) can make it up from Oklahoma with my grill and assorted goodies if we have it then, too. Basically, I'm thinking a BYOBM&T (Bring Yer Own Beer, Meat, and Truck) thing starting in the early afternoon and running until we get sick of each other, the cops come, or the beer runs out. My wife and daughter (7 year old) will be on-site so yours are welcome, too. Oh, for what it's worth, I live in St. Louis Park just off 100 and Minnetonka. Real easy to find. Whaddya think, gang?

![]() On a side note, now that I look around a bit, I see there's an entire forum dedicated to board get-togethers. Umm... oops. I'll rest uneasy this evening for fear of Josh's flaming sword of merciless punishment.

I think we're well on our way. Right now, I'm just waiting on other Minnesota area folks to chime in with their $0.02 on the date.

Any weekend day should work for me. Let me know what you come up with and I will let you know if it will work. 23rd looks OK, but can do something else if that's what you decide. Shawn

Porky's, eh? I'm not familiar with it (yet). Looks like we've got better than 5 people that are interested so I'd say we're a go for Sunday the 23rd. I'm thinking 1:00 in the afternoon. How's that work for everybody?
I'll post a map to my place with my phone number and other info in the next day or so. In the mean time, PM me if you've got specific questions.

I will be in Bloomington, MN that week for a radiation control conference and if you guys don't mind a member from South Carolina I would love to come. How far is the meet from Bloomington? There has to be a long distance award or something.LOL I have plans to meet up with Da-burb some time that week.

By the way, if someone needs a {small} part moved from ok to minn on 5-21, or a pickup bed size part from minn to ok 5-26, let me know, I might be able to help.

Well, kids... looks like this one's a bust. Seems nearly everyone has something else they need to do on Sunday. Maybe some other time.
