I neglected to take pictures today, but I'll try and get some tomorrow. I got to meet a lot of tman members and lurkers today.

At around noon, I broke out the Skeeter Pee and Dragon Blood wine. I served a 1.5 liter bottle plus over half of another in small samples today. I also served almost a whole bottle of Dragon Blood wine. I got to taste some of Lee Steinmeyer's wine, and it was mighty good. Tomorrow I'll have a smoked salmon cheese ball with crackers with the wine samples. It should be a good day.

The facilities are great! I really like the A/C. It was a bit humid outside this afternoon. The folks who put this together have done a superb job. Everything is running smooth as silk, and if you need something, they're johnny on the spot to take care of you. You can't beat that.

Paul, I'll catch up with you tomorrow, I had to work today. I'll be wearing my Wisconsin trappers shirt. I'm the guy Zim (Zimmerman) asked about. Maybe I can talk you into taking a picture of us together?

Kenny, that black shirt is just a little bit too big on me. I've got a friend that will make it fit. I remember what size you told me Patrice wears. lol

Did you get any of that cheese ball? It was totally consumed by the end of the day. I took another one over to Cotton's camp and had a delicious supper with the VA folks.

Yes, we'll have fun. It'll be nice seeing folks that I haven't talked to for a while. Harrisonburg, VA is just a little bit over an hour drive for me.

My favorite vendor was a man dressed up like an old time mountain trapper. I bought a wooden spoon off of him. Wooden spoons add to the eating experience.

So THAT'S why Mr. Dobbins was smiling everytime I passed by.
Wine!
Funny thing talking to you about LaPlata and Mr. Mudd.
Seemed like it was just a couple years ago, but after I left, got to thinking about it and that was
at least a dozen years ago!

I tried some random shots of Bandy wearing a tank top but they didn't turn out so well.
