I wandered around DEMA for 2 days wearing the same hat as in my picture here, looking for other SB folks, particuarly the Head Honchos, but I never found the latter. A few SB members did recognize me and stop me for a chat. That was nice!
I wrote down the instructions to BackDraft BBQ in Highlands so many times for others that I didn't have to look when ScubaJoe and I headed out. He did have to help me with the exits a bit, less I pull a farm-boy maneuver to hit one at a glance,
but we made it without any close calls. I ran into a fellow there who asked me if I was the host, and I advised that I was not, asking who he was. "I go by NetDoc." :silly: "Uh, yes sir - I believe that you are the host here?!"
I was just getting to know people I'd previously only knew by keystrokes, my shootin' hand wrapped around a cold longneck, when ReneeC called to say that she couldn't get a ride for another hour! "No problem, hon! Be there shortly" It was only 40 odd miles round trip, a small thing for a cowboy to do for a lady.
Back at the eatin' place, it was really nice to meet to meet NetDoc, Tech Admin, Natasha, Dee, and several other nice folks from this wonderful board. We dined on bodacious BBQ & fixins, Natasha even brought a wonderful cake, and we swaped several stories - with the best being NetDoc's attack by a moma manatee! And then we had the raffles...!!
The Bossman brought a lot of special edition SB golf shirts, a crate of SB coffee mugs, and a very large number of stickers, and with the unfortunate no-show rate from the members and guests who cofimred coming, then didn't - everyone got a shirt, a mug, and a supply of stickers! :dazzler1: Super deal.
I think the remaining special edition shirts may be offered for sale in the near future. 50-50 preshrunk cotton/poly blend. Don't miss the chance to have one of your own.
And thanks again, Big Guy!
