I was there in 2017 and it was truly special. I brought my girlfriend in 2018 and she was impressed. I will miss 2019 since I am going to California to stay with my brother. It is quite a distance to travel from New Orleans, board the 5 pets, and it isn’t an event I can call a vacation being retired and wanting to go places for at least 10 to 14 days to get that relaxation I look forward to these days. But, you never know. At the last minute, I might convince myself to attend again making it 3 years in a row. I like the accommodations and the relaxing environment. I’m just in the longer trip mind set now days. Oh, I hope I’m one of your friends!

I have the same conflict with the Crawfish boil in Arkansas. We eat Crawfish almost every week where I’m at. They are so good and the group boils are awesome. It just doesn’t sit right with me to make arrangements to board all the cats and dogs to go to Arkansas for Crawfish.

It's not the crawfish. Its the riding and hanging out. The food is just extra.

I wish I could make The Gathering, but that's the same time we do our yearly ride. A group of us go somewhere every year. Last year was Colorado, this year its back to W Va. PK inspired us to do the Dragons Head, Claw, Back and then south to the Dragons Tail again.

I will be there, if at Flint Oak. I used to be a guide there and live in Derby/Wichita now. Great place Flint Oak is, I know Ray is gone, not sure about Pete, but I'm sure Jeff is still running the ranch. Be great to go back as a customer instead of an employee. LMAO Sounds like a great time, do you know the exact dates?

Just made room reservations for Blacktopper and myself. We’re in!!
Looking forward to seeing everyone and it will be great to see Hans again, and I guess coming from Bavaria he’ll get a prize for longest distance traveled to attend. Roger and I have to ride at least 75 miles to get there, so I suppose we are out of the running for that. Haha

Nuke, you can come up to Shreveport and toss your stuff in my truck and ride up with me if you want

Thanks for the offer. Believe it or not, I woke up early today thinking I needed to get away.

Too much stuff to do around the house which I create for myself such and replacing flooring and redoing bedrooms for some odd reason. You might feel this way too. I hate how flooring squeaks upstairs and the carpets have to go after 30 plus years. Or maybe it’s that weeping 15 year old water heater that needs to be replaced. So I’m sitting here drinking coffee and thinking of the trips planned this year. The gathering is too close to my trip to California. So, I screwed that up. Plus, with Arlen Ness passing away, I don’t feel like borrowing a chopper from his place just to ride around Northern California. But, I do plan on going camping with my brother for the first time.

Then I thought about going to Arkansas to meet up and eat crawfish. Plus, I still owe Shannon a bunch of used old pegs of the Ridgeback since being replaced with new chrome ones with fresh rubber. But, I now realize Jazz Fest falls on the weekend of this trip. There’s always something going on down here to celebrate something. I believe we will makeup some sort of festival just to have one every weekend of the year. So, I can’t complain. Jazz Fest has had it’s setbacks with The Rolling Stones cancelling. Then, their replacement Fleetwood Mac cancelled because Stevie Nicks has a flu or something. But there is so much music to be enjoyed, it’s crazy.

So, I am considering attending both events but don’t know yet which way the wind is blowing. I’m usually not like this so this is a change for me.

PS. I have two water heaters and I’ll never forget the weeping water heater in the laundry room event. I bought a new gas water heater to replace it and it was staged in the garage for a Sunday Morning job. But, I woke up late to the sound of spraying water which I heard in the Master Bedroom. What could that possibly be? Well, before I could turn the water supply off, there was water going out the front bedroom, hallway to the bedroom closets, and water going into the living room and out the front door and back porch. So, the living room carpet had to be replaced in addition to the natural gas water heater. Yesterday, I replaced the shed Electric Water Heater which I found weeping. It had been replaced previously when leaking out the shed and onto the back porch. So, I hate the people who design the water heaters. I looked at the install date of the Laundry Room Natural Gas water heater and it was 2004 so it’s going to be the next job to come up.

You ex-navy guys can appreciate the redundant Natural and Electric Water heaters so I never go without hot water during natural disasters. I think I went overboard though with 5 toilets. But, who knows.....it’s important to take a dump and with company, it’s even more important to have a place to relieve oneself.

Dude, you need to get on your bike and ride till your thinking gets strighten out. I"d say about 2 weeks of riding before you tackle those jobs, should work.
