Can Opener '08 Rally - Page 10

Devoman · 08-30-2007, 03:49 PM

What does everyone think about starting to set up at about 4:00 P.M..I know this seems a bit early but it gets dark here at about 4:30 P.M in the winter..This will give us time to setup and be ready to grub down on the all the great meals.
For Breakfast though.The last can opener I slept like a rock and slept through it all.I think they all started around 7:30 A.M.
If everyone agrees to a time,I will post it with the potluck and breakfast post and add it to it so everyone will know what time to come over to the site.
I may just end up sleeping through that one to though.

Sorry about the time thing but last time I remember people telling me about maybe it should have been done earlier.I am just trying to get this one out of the way and post it up.That is why I asked everyone what they thought.It is not a problem with me as to what time everything starts.Not to be rude to anyone but I just dont really want to be told this again.I am just trying to make it simple for everyone.I am not trying to make rules.

thecatsandi · 08-30-2007, 04:36 PM

Devoman,
That post was mostly in gest. I realize we need a little organization. a little organization is all I think we enjoyed last time. Too many and it starts to look like some other not so fun rally.
Those time frames give me a good time to shoot for at dinner.

Devoman · 08-30-2007, 05:21 PM

No Worries.I to dont want that many rules either.I think this is good enough really.I want to have fun like the last time.

SwampBillies · 08-30-2007, 05:35 PM

I love the fact that this is organized and I have an idea of where I am supposed to be, and when. Not like the other not so fun or organized rally I went to. As a newbie, it is a relief to have some idea of what is going on. You guys are doing a great job!

Just paste and copy as you go to the next post.

Well at the rate the sites are going I booked 161, I was going to wait but they may be all taken

Can't wait to get a little Jambalaya, last years can opener was our first try.

We're also bringing a new addition to our family,
a 4.5Lb Long Hair Chihuahua, his name is Trooper.

maxandgeorgia · 08-30-2007, 05:49 PM

Okay, it's bribery time! Now what do I have that might bribe Greg and Cindy in order to win that Airstream cross stitch kit with TWO flamingo buttons? Yes, yes, I know, thou shalt not covet. . .four whole months to wait for the pot luck drawings!

Jim & Susan · 08-30-2007, 05:55 PM

All right, all right, AT EASE! This thread has gotten way out of hand! Y'all have posted so many responses here in just a couple of days I can't keep up!

Once I get a chance to read all the posts, and figure out where everybody is, I'll make some reservations and let y'all know which camp site we're gonna be in. We're not missin' this one!

Rules? We don't need no rules! We don't need no stinkin' rules!

Rule number one: Bring Beer.
Rule number two: See rule number one.

We are leaving mid-day tomorrow for Santa Fe for 9 nights. This is our first trip lasting more than 4 nights so it should be fun and interesting. Have fun with this thread and increase the confirmations to at least 30 by 09/09. I'm feeling the need for sand in my aluminum

PS: I like the caravan idea and hope a few of us can pull it off
