Howdy-

I'm curious about the last one myself....I recall there were quite a few last-minute cancellations; I even posted about the possibility of re-scheduling (hope THAT didn't contribute to the no-shows!)

At any rate, I'm anxious to get together again; Marinelli's is fine w/me, unless others object....?

What say ye?

Howdy-

Someone throw out a definate date; we seem to do better once that is decided.

That being said, I'm out for the 14th (Connor's birthday), and I think the 11th, 13th, and 15th (Emily and I are taking the Hunter Safety course offered by Shelby Township.)

01-24-2003, 07:36 AM

Monday (3rd) or even Friday (7th) are also okay with me. Perhaps all who would plan to come could post when they can/can't attend. Maybe an obvious choice will emerge.:)

Why not do a poll and see when the majority can attend, that way the total will be on a single thread.(I don't know how to do polls) Make it for Mon--Thurs.

Mags

01-24-2003, 06:30 PM

A fifth....err oops, I mean the 5th. is fine with me. Whatever works for the majority. :) I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy! :eek:

Howdy-

Hey, Paul, what did I ever do to you?

What incriminating pictures? You mean those posed ones, the ones you faked, just like NASA did with the "Moon Landing?"

C'mon, no one will believe those.....:eek: :( :eek:

My ETA is 17:10 or so; see y'all there. Have to make sure I see neal, so I can return my ill-gotten booty, and buy him an icy paralyzer for his birthday!

You don't suppose he'll be embarrassed when we lead the bar in a chorus of "Happy Birthday", do you......??? :eek: :D :o

Neal

As usual, we had a ball !

No, Paul didn't show up in a thong; we had the cameras ready and everything!

Paul did get a shot of the group, courtsey of our waitress, which he'll post later, I'm sure.

Neal slyly left early, citing some family birthday obligations as his excuse; personally, I believe it was pure embarassment after our stirring rendition of "Happy Birthday....)

Dan rought his pictures from his western excursion for us all to enjoy.

Neal supplied his sausage :eek: ; this time, Ralf didn't wave it in strange girls faces.....:D

We solved all the world's problems (including the Lions'); just can't seem to recall the solutions now.....

Kicked around a few ideas for outings and get-togethers....

Drank a few beers while we were there.....

It was good to see Ralf again, along with Darrin, who trucked in from Redford.

Nice, too, to be joined by Mike (smalliesandbucks); a couple of new faces each time, and this thing will continue to roll on!

A personal thank you to Rich, for once again keeping the food coming.

AND, Joel asked me if I'd be his date again this year at the SCI Bowhunters banquet! Of course, I said YES! (Insert picture of me blushing here):o

ESOX

02-06-2003, 07:28 AM

I won't be able to post the pics till this evening, I left my camera on the dresser this morning. Go figure, the first time it has migrated out of the truck in a couple of weeks is when I wanted it with me. I had a most enjoyable time, as usual. You guys are the greatest! I will always be proud of my affiliation with some of the best folks in the outdoor world.

Shoeman

02-06-2003, 07:36 AM

Sorry I missed ya, Neal

The sausage was great. There was a flavor in it, that I couldn't describe. Horns perhaps? ....LOL

Hope you enjoyed your B'day... I did!

Great to see all of you. :)

Neal

02-06-2003, 08:55 AM

Yes, it is a well kept secret that finely ground antlers not only enhances the flavor of the sausage, it also acts as an Aphrodisiac......Looks like Les and Joel had a bit too much:D

Really nice to see everybody and meet others. Sorry to missed some of you but it was either leave early and take crap from the guys or stay late and take crap from the wife........It was an easy decision.

Thank you all again for the birthday wishes and the song, which did not determine my departure, but it sure did hasten it.

Well last night was really great as i finally got to put some faces to the names. I had a really good time, and i can't wait for the next one. I learned a lot last night from Esox on muskie Fishing. I can't wait to try it. Sorry i missed a few of you that came after i left , but i kind of snuck out of work to come up there and had to get back. It was nice talking about past deer hunts in the Upper with you shoes. Hope to see you all soon at another MnG.

NEMichsportsman

02-06-2003, 04:21 PM

It was great to see the ol' gang together again, and meet some new guys as well. One more fine outing compliments of Michigan-Sportsman.com !!! Featured event for next months MNG will be PrtyMolusk previewing the evening gown he will be wearing to the SCI SE Michigan Bowhunters Banquet in March. I will be showing off the progress of my Ponytail!:eek:

Another enjoyable evening for sure. Topped with constructive and expert conversation, which became more expert as the beverages took effect. Great sausage Neal. Guess we could have stuck a candle in it for you. Smallies and bucks, glad you could make it. Always great to meet new members, and enjoy the conversations when one finds just how much many of us have in common, especially memories of past deer hunts.

Here's (burp) looking forward to the next one!;)
