Attention: TDR Forum Junkies 
Boscobel Bomb Party for a weekend in Sept. Which weekend is up to those that might attend. Please vote which weekend you can make it and the weekend with the most votes will be it. The deadline for voting will be August 16th. This should give everybody enough time to plan accordingly. Any questions PM me.
Some local info...
We have a small local (cheap) motel within walking distance(across the street) from our shop. There is also a quaint little RV park that borders the shop. We have enough land at our shop to accommodate those that want to do the tent thing. This also borders the RV park. The RV park does have electric, but I am not sure about water. There is a New Super 8 just down the street with an indoor pool. We have some fast food joints and three nice cafes with excellent food for those that like a home cooked meal or a good breakfast. As far as shopping goes, we really don't have any neat little shops that the wives might like, but they are welcome to come along just the same.
Our shop is big enough for one... maybe one and a half, and probably six or seven (or more) on the gravel, and maybe a hundred in the grass... you get the idea. We'll make room.
I imagine we could cook out, like grill some hamburgers, brats potato salad, macaroni, Nicks chili, etc. I can get a couple of grills/ picnic tables and we have a fridge at the shop already. Or, we could just go eat somewhere... whatever. Bring your own beer or booze, or you can get it when you get to town. I'll see if I can get a tank for ice, pop and water.
As far as tools go, I have a couple of welders, (stick and mig). A torch, small drill press, grinders, saws etc. and a fairly decent set of hand tools, and other specialty tools. I could get a small plasma arc and a hydraulic press if needed, but I have to know ahead of time. As far as fluid changes go, let me know and I will make provisions to accommodate you, so you wont have to take it back with you.
After you vote on the weekend, post so I kinda have a clue how many are gonna make it (I realize we wont have a very accurate count till sometime after the 16th). Let me know what you guys want to do for food, any tools you might need, and when you plan on showing up, and how long you want to stay. We'll plan on Sat and/or Sun. (I'll be on second shift, so I wont be around that Friday night before, until after 9pm or so. )
I'll get the phone numbers for the Hotel/ motel/ camp ground up by this weekend.
Any questions or if you need something, PM me.
Any suggestions are welcome.
