Why TTers RAWK!!!!!!!!!

“To my wonderful, unselfish, generous Trail Talk friends, THANK YOU!!!! Birch organized the construction weekend on our home. And they did so much!!! There were so many funny moments, but my favorite was when a water pipe was cut which was thought to be dry but wasn’t. It was spraying everywhere from about six feet high. Really wish I had that on video.


Here is who was here:
Birch/Joe
Sass/Joy
Abby
UPLuver/Joe
Mary
Crazy Mike
Spirit Coyote/Nicole
Wounded Knee/Brian

And thanks to Violin (MUCHOS GRACIOS, DUDE!!!) for supplying our beer. Pardon me if I forget any of the selection, but it’s not easy to remember them all. TTers have a special affinity for the stuff I think.

Heineken
Sam Adams Triple Bock
Thomas Hardy’s Ale
Newcastle Brown Ale
Carlsberg
Leinenkugel Octoberfest Lager
Leinenkugel Berry Weiss
Leinenkugel Creamy Dark
Blue Moon
Old Speckled Hen
Point Light
Smithwicks
Samuel Smith Selection Box
Hard Creamer
Mike’s Hard Lemonade

So much got done, and I am sure I will not remember it all:

Installed brand spanking new bad ass furnace—major project
Demoed walls in the basement
Painted five gallons of paint on the brick basement walls
Removed all sorts of unnecessary pipes, wires, and other goofy crap in the basement
Replaced outdoor water faucet
Cleaned gutters
Changed all my door locks
New doorbell and push buttons installed

I know there was more, but I couldn’t keep track of it all.

From the bottom of my heart I thank each and every one of you. It meant so much to me that you all showed up and pitched in. I am really thankful and appreciative. I already knew this, but you guys are the salt of the earth.”

“Cool, to me, this is what TT is all about.”

“Good deal!”

“That's what I call a party.”

“That sounds like a good beer selection! Did anyone besides Crazy Mike get to try any?”

“I got to say, ruby is one cool chick and a great host! :)

Manwich rawks!

Ruby, all mike has been talking about since we got home is how he wants a bike now LOL! See what ya did?”

“Wow !”

“Violin's generosity has made me think of him in a diffrent way.....

:P

I have that warm and fuzzy feeling right now!”

“Just got home and unpacked. Birch and Abby and I had so much fun this weekend. It was a party. Thanks for the wonderful company, great food and soft beds Ruby. You are the hostess with the mostess.

Thanks again Violin for the beer! The Thomas Hardy Ale was some of the yummiest stuff I've ever had. 25 years old and tastes of apples. I highly recommend it.”

“Hey Violin, I need to do some painting here in Townsend.

I don't plan on bothering the TT'ers, but a couple cases of beer would be OK.”

“No biggy Ruby, it was fun. Not having been hiking much this year this was a great way to see so many TTers in a wknd. Hardly seemed like work to me. And I got 11 hrs sleep last night, thats like record!!!”

“Thanks especially to you, Birch, for organizing the whole thing.

And I forgot to mention my favorite memory of all. Crazy Mike rode b!tch with me on my Harley. Does it get any better than that?”

“LOL! I'd love to have a picture of Mike on the back of your Harley!

Glad the weekend was productive. Its kind of amazing that it was, considering that beer selection!”

“The huge bowl of candy helped.”

“Good deal, TTers!

Hmmm... just HOW is Violin getting you beer???? That's really what the inquiring minds want to know. LOL!”

“He installed a beer pipeline from his house to mine. We just had to turn on the spigot.”

“I always knew Violin was a nice guy.”

“didja all know that you can get blisters from painting brick LOL?”

“Wow!! What a wonderful thing!! Kudos to everyone who participated!!”

“Thanks for the beer violin! That triple boch hit the spot”

“Yeah what WK said...Thanks Vman..that beer sure tasted good!!

And rubes..it was awesome fun :)
I have to agree with birch, it was so much fun it didn't even really seem like work at all!”

“Very cool, glad lots got done and that folks had fun.

So, did V ship tons of beer to Ruby's place, is that how it worked? Awesome.”

“Hey UP, someone left an electric drill here. I am pretty sure it's not ours, and it isn't Joe's or Rick's. Is it yours?”

“I am pretty sure I grabbed mine.

What Joe said, that was not work, that was fun.”

“Thats because you were down in the basement nailing Mary with paint! Of course you were having fun. LOL”

“That was one of the many out of context quotes we had.”

“I don't think it's mine, ruby, I'll double check tonight when I get home.”

“Hey Ruby, were the boys surprised?”

“Yes, very. But they were more concerned that they couldn't get to their Legos or the tv which are all buried in that storage room under all those bins.”

“hehehehe”

“Reading and hearing about things like this make me smile. Nice work everyone!

:)”

“To my wonderful, unselfish, generous Trail Talk friends

I knew that!!!!”

“Good friend, good times and cold beer!

Sounds like those Old Milwaukee beer commercials.”

“Brian, check to see if it's your drill.

FYI, it's green, HandiWorks brand.”

“nope”

“Mike? Joe?”

“its not mike's”

“not mine either?

The tool fairy?”

“lol@birch, must be...it's not mine”

“Well, now I have seen the beer fairy and the tool fairy...whats next?”

“Huh? It's not Rick's. Whose is it? I have only ever paid attention to Jon's cordless drill, but maybe he has another one. Did anyone grab a drill out of the tool room? Maybe it's his.

I found it lying on the floor in the porch.

Why couldn't it be a gift from the shoe fairy?”

“I'm glad I could help out with the liquid refreshments but I wish I could have been there. Sounds like a good time.”

“We'll be going back in the spring; shall we do it again?”

“Do they have a big enough yard for a camporee?”

“Awww well ain't this a sweet thread! :-)”

“I'm not camping in that yard with that giant walnut tree!”

“I don't have a big yard, but it is flat and certainly big enough to fit many tents. You're all welcome back any time. I promise to have good bourbon next time, too.”

“But the walnut....”

“We'll build a leanto in the back for you”
