Looks like several of us Busnuts are getting together at our place for Christmas dinner before going to the Turner Center for Bussin' 2008. If there are any other busnuts near Arcadia or coming to Bussin' 2008 that would like to join us, please get in touch with me jconradATrvbus.net or 863-993-3683. At the present time, it looks like about 6 coaches plus us and maybe a local busnut or 2.  Jack

Doesn't look like I'm going to make it this year. Been fighting this one for a month or so trying to figure out a way to justify it,
but just can't. Teri's folks will be here for Christmas, and it's 3 days to FL. Would be tough to make it in time for the rally and
without a job this year, the cost is probably not in the budget.

Tom, beer butt chicken racks are pretty cheap. I think Camping World or Menards has them for under $15. If you can't find one,
let me know and I'll get one and send it direct to Jack so it'll be there for you. If you want the deluxe model roaster, it's about
$60 at Menards or Cabela's. It'll do 3 chickens or a turkey, but you need a burner like is used for the turkey fryers.

Maybe I'll send some fudge down for you guys if I get it done in time.  :o

Jack, Dallas and I have been disappointed that we couldn't make it again this year and now you throw in Christmas. What a way to break a gals heart.   :'(

We really hope everything goes well and that everyone has a very safe trip there.  We will be thinking about you!

Confirmed!!!  We discussed it one final time.  to heck with the money, we're comin down anyway.  We are planning on being there for the Christmas dinner, so i'm sure Fran will bring along something to add.  Shucks, maybe i'll even bake cookies or pie or something since Gumpy isn't.

Save me a space at the rally also.  i've got some used Datastorms to get rid of.

I was thinking of you today, Tom, while I was making triple chocolate and raspberry cheesecakes and chocolate swan creampuffs. They wouldn't
make it to FL, though.

Cody,
you're right, i should have clarified.  We're one of the vendors at the rally, so we try to bring a few items to sell, in case someone is in need.   ::) ::)

one of my other busnut friends had an unexpected finance problem, fortunately not related to his bus other than his bus is colder than he expected since it has less heat in it's barn.  so he didn't buy the used datastorm i had for him.   :'(

we don't try to be the "vendors" we are at other shows though, because this one is as much about learning and mingling for us as it is for everyone else.

i'm looking forward to old friends and making new friends old friends.  also matching board names to faces, which could be scary.  :D :D

We're really looking forward to the rally, I've talked to a lot of people here on the board and we want to meet everyone, this fulltiming thing is like a kid in a candy store, I want to run in every direction at once lol. Libby is trying to talk me into taking my old beat up guitar out of hibernation, she thinks that trying to relearn to play will help my manual dexterity, I'm thinking that typing on the keyboard is going to do the same thing, I'm already up to almost 20 errors a minute. lol

Cody,
   By all means, break out the guitar.  We will have a pickin' tent at the rally and quite a few pickers (of all levels).  You are also welcome to use my cabinet shop if there is anything you want to do.  Jack

Cody, mine's been in mothballs for years.  Let's both try and discover the joys of building calluses together.
