Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations Who's up for a road trip to N. Central Indiana?

Here's the deal. JKB is coming down to my place on July 19th to try and figure out the electric end of a well that I want to install. He suggested that he might stay over until the 20th, and that maybe, just maybe, other Pondmeisters might want to meet at my place. So, I'm throwing it out. Who wants to make a road trip to Grovertown, Indiana on July 20th? I'm even opening up the invite to you bums in Texas - it'd be a good time to get out of the heat.

I'm a pretty poor party planner, but I'm open to suggestions. There's a couple of PB members within 15 miles of my place, but they rarely post. I'll be contacting via PM and e-mail everybody that I know who might want to make the trip. Maybe a small road trip to visit different ponds, or just hang out at my place.

I may be flying over your place right around that time as we make a visit to family in MN. I will wave as we fly over at 30,000 feet.

What ever the plans end up being, take some photos and have a good time!

What do you mean "try and figure out"

Maybe those bums from Texas can show us Yankees how Ribs are done. I hear they are slowly catching on

I'll bring a few fancy gizmos with me that we can play around with. Maybe even have your pond send you text messages.

If there is a place to build a small fire I'll bring a couple of slabs of ribs to put up against some from Texas...

If not, I'll pick up a fire ring on the way down.

We'll also need a bunch of 2" or thicker Rib Eyes. I can get those up here at Frank's.

This could be really cool. A month to plan it as well.

There's roughly 10 acres to build a fire on. (minus the house, outbuildings and pond) Yeah, I do have some stones set in a circle.

Bums, hum. I think I smell a challenge. George, get a rope. Allen, get your fire buddy's recipe, Mark, you are our secret weapon, so we will have to keep you hidden until we strike. Larry, you are in charge of logistics. Dustin, we have never met, but I know you have to be in as well, please forward your resume via the Texan Bums Hot Line, We will gladly welcome you to the team. Mike, your our fighting position guru, Bob, well you are good as giving speeches, so write a really good one for this occasion. All other Texans who are in for this, stand and be counted!!

Calling all the rest of the Texans and Okies, Arkansans, ECT, lets GO!!!


PS I'm off that day, so I'll see what I can do!! ROAD TRIP anyone? This could be fun!!


BTW CJ, from VA to MN you will fly north of Detroit and you will most likely be at FL340 so I would suggest a window seat on the left hand side of the airplane ( "A" seating). If the weather is nice as you pass close to DTW look left. You should see some splashing and other antics.

Ya know, I don't know what it costs to rent a plane, but there IS an airport 12 miles away........ Plymouth, Indiana. South Bend Airport is only 30 miles away and can take larger planes. Maybe Brian can take a work plane on a test flight and pack everyone in the back??

I heard a story once of a pilot who landed a plane at the airport. To get the plane up in the air again they had to dismantle it and remove it via truck. That was a big oops.

Are trailer trash invited? Regardless, I'll try ta talk Dr Perca and Mr Cecil into car pooling over there. Sounds like a day of folly, hope so. With a month to plan you may end up with many more bums than just those from Texas. I'd like to see Scott show our southern friends what a TRUE Perch is. As for grilling out, Aquamax burgers sound good ta me.

You're only 30 mins from Notre Dame?
Can I come back in the Fall?

I may have to make a court appearance in Bowling Green Ohio, courtesy of the state's finest for speeding on my last run, so I might drop in on the way home....

Are you talking this week or next month? I would probably make a later date.

July 20th.

"George, get a rope."

I love that!

I would have been early....possibly a first for me!!

Scott - change your title to add: to Indiana or north central IN. This way members within driving distance will more likely read the thread. July 20th is a Saturday.

Can ya make it!

I think I could make it. Scott is just a few clicks away. I could even learn some cool control stuff from JKB.

Do I smell ribs? Better yet....Texas ribs?

ZEP:

Yep, just a short distance from the Golden Dome. If you want to hit any of the games, there's a spare bedroom in the house.

Correct July 20th, Saturday.

Rex, a Valentine 1 is a great friend to have.

ZEP,
My father-in-law worked on campus for 30+ years at AVA MARIA PRESS. His dad worked in maintenance at ND. What makes my marriage work....I am the only one that is anti-ND

Thanks esshup.
I usually make it up to an ND game about every 4-5 years.
What a wonderful experience it is! (me on right)





Mike....may God have mercy on your soul!

I'll see if I can get away. Hopefully I'll finally be able to meet Phil (JKB). I'm about an hour from Esshup (Scott).

Cecil, have Julie drop you off on her way to Michigan City in the morning, and pick you up in the evening on her way back. I hear there's lots of good shopping places there.

I'll certainly try...hope to be building ponds and a tilapia building in KY by then!!
