If Peter were caught in church I would expect spectacular fireworks. Mrs. Nap on the other hand has achieved sainted status just by not killing him - yet. stay safe.

Pictures.

I take pictures of every event I attend (usually motorcycle related), and things I do around my shop. Those of you posting here and attending the picnic tomorrow - do any of you have any objections of my taking pics during the day?

I can understand why some might object, so if I get one "nay," the camera will get left at home.

Lemme know.

Respond here, PM me, or I can be emailed at: gbyoung2 at verizon dot net

TIA

Guy

Torture Time

Does anyone have any idea just how difficult it to try and sleep when the World's Greatest Cookie Baker is making cookies? I have to work tonight!

I can't wait for tomorrow and no, she will not let me sample the goodies!

Gr8tLegs has a mean streak. ;>)

Guy, I wouldn't leave it at home. Others have taken pictures at other events. If someone objects to being photographed, you can leave that person out, right?

Congratulations - new generation OCer I presume.

I'll be there! Just me, though. PM sent on what to bring or I'll just 'Miny-moe' it. Look forward to meeting everyone.

Added you to last list - edited above.

**********************************************

Let's do it! Good weather, good food and great friends - perfect combination!

Gr8Legs does it again!

Well There she goes again.

Gr8Legs not only baked her world famous Sincker-Doodles and Peanutbutter cookies, she also made a batch of Chocolate Chip cookies to go along with them!

If anyone is alergic to Peanutbutter, please refrain from eating them. We do not want any bad reactions to spoil what will be a wonderful day.

And no, I didn't get much sleep today.

Please remember that there is an official picnic - well, not so much pose as official camera angle. Then the posting of the pictures and the game of guessing "Who is that?" begins.

(Although it seems that the official picnic model will not be attending.:()

And some photogs also take pictures of folks' guns.:D

stay safe.

Say...,

did anyone happen to pick up my two lawn chairs? I left them leaning against a post, one is in a blue carry bag, the other is in a red, white and blue carry bag. When I got onto 288, I remembered that I had left them, turned around and went back, but everyone was gone and so were the chairs. The park people were closing up the entrance to the shelter we were at when I left. Anyway, If someone was kind enough to have picked them up for us, please let me know how I can get them back. Thanks

After everybody had left, Billy (Jan's husband) and I saw them leaning against the post. Billy loaded them with his equipment for safekeeping. I will try to arrange for Jan to bring them to Pino's so that I can return them to you when next we meet.

Great picnic!

Was a perfect day for such a fine turn out - you only had to look around you to tell who the hard chargers, boots on the ground people are. The variety of food and the preparation obviously satisfied everyone's taste buds. Billy did an outstanding job as our chef and many hands made light work of the rest.

Philip gave us a good status report on VCDL and John Pierce brought us up to speed on the OC movement - women are getting more and more involved in self-protection and make fantastic representatives. Jamie Radtke, Tea Party candidate for the Senate, gave us her take on what and where she stands on freedom and RKBA - very articulate and well spoken.

Hope to see a lot of pictures and maybe a video or two. Right now the sofa is looking might good -been up since 5:30 AM.

Thanks to everybody for making this success happen - brothers and sisters all.
