Portland - do over BBQ at Bernie's

[holmes]

All

Bernie and Betsy have offered up their back yard for a BBQ & gathering on Saturday, July 23rd at 11:30AM.  Please check your calendars and reply here if you intend to come so we can begin to come up with a headcount.  Bring any food you like but also post here so that we don't get a bunch of duplicate stuff.  If you know folks that don't look at the board, please call, text them, etc.  It would be great to get a good showing to make up for the lost times in Portland

Ping me on my cell via text with any questions.  Two oh three, cix cix ate, fiv two two ate

So a buddy of mine owns a produce farm. Tells me the first wave of butter and sugar corn is starting. I will bring a couple dozen ears and equipment to cook them in.
See you all on Saturday.

Dropping the corn in the pool for a couple hours then roasting it on the grill ??

Haven't quite decided yet, but I'm sure Bets-Bets would have something to say about corn in her pool

[Barnstormer]

Already in my GPS. Thanks,

[Karen]

Just got in!  Great Day! Thanks everyone!

[Tony C.]

Great Day! Thanks Bernie and Betsy for hosting! 

[holmes]

Agreed, a great day and many thanks to Bernie and Betsy letting us invade!  It was really great to see everyone!

[Wall]

Betsy. Is. The. Best. She let us commandeer her back yard and pool for the day. Maybe hire a different guy for the grilling next year. Poor Rich was weak in the knees from lack of nutrition.
It was fantastic seeing everyone after so long. Wish I had talked to everyone more but that pool was pretty inviting.

[Barnstormer]

Good seeing many of the original valkers.  Thanks Bernie & Betsey for a great day.

[RonBou]

What... no pics?

[Valkrocket]

What... no pics?

I thought the same thing Ron, but then thought about how we are getting on in years and how gravity, age and nutrition has changed the shape  of our bodies. Do we really want to see those scantily clothed old Bikers?  I know time has taken it's toll on this old valker. Also, I think a few of them are still in the witness protection program and need to stay off camera.
Having said that, wish I could have joined you, old friends. Looks like ya'all had a blast.

It's called water retention Cuz...After a certain age some of us take on a floatability posture !!

[Dan-bury]

Sorry to have missed it, sounds like a good get together. 

P.S.   (After a certain age some of us take on a floatability posture !!)   YB, if that's true i'll never drown.
