Datin'

[X-Rated]

Well, I am getting ready to book a hotel.

[XE1/N5AL]

A hotel date? Sounds romantic.

[X-Rated]

Ham. Pork. Romantic.

One day, before I die (or before the Hara Arena is condemned), I wanna go to the Datin' Hamfest.

[X-Rated]

Unless you are 112, it will be condemned first.

[XE1/N5AL]

Probably so. Maybe I can persuade Pat ('MHZ) to swing down to Central Mexico to pick me up on his next epic trek to Dayton. It would only be about 1300 miles out of his way. I remember that his old Town Car had bullet hole decals on the trunk lid. If we chose our route carefully, we might be able to get some real bullet holes in his new Town Car!

Tell him that there are no black widder spiders on your specified route and he will oblige for sure.

I'm all set for the trip. Have my Motel reservation in and the Town Car is ready. less than 4 months to go. All those bullet holes came from trying to escape from East St Louis! They haven't started to schedule programs yet, but I should be able to reprise my Crest Radio Museum/Vintage radio restoration program that I put on last year. That was packed! They had a change in the ARRL booth setup, but looks like I will be helping out in the HT testing area with Bob WB1GCM of the ARRL Lab. SO Dayton is a GO! Anxious for another wonderful Hamvention!

I have already told everybody in Illinois all about you so they know you are coming this year.

Our room is booked.

Jerry, since suddenseer probably won't be in the area this year for 'DSG's Friday evening birthday dinner/margarita-fest, are you interested in joining us?

The invite is open to everyone else who's planning on attending.

N8WTF can come too?

The invite is open to everyone else who's planning on attending.I'd like to, but since my transportation will be depending on others (K3AIR & I usually carpool in his Jeep), that might be a problem.

Not a problem when you have buds.

Not a problem when you have buds.Never cared for Bud. I had a taste for Miller & Miller Lite, back when I was allowed to drink.

Let's play that by ear once the dates get closer. My group is staying at one of the University of Dayton dorms, which is south of downtown Dayton, a few minutes off I-75. That might be a little too far out of the way.
