I *know* we have several new 'Bolters right here in St. Mary's County. One of you is even within walking distance of Stovebolt HQ.
I think we should have a meet and greet kinda thing to break up the "Dark Ages" of winter and meet some folks new to the hobby or at least new to our web site.
We can discuss specific dates, but it would be a morning thing (coffee and donuts) at the "OR" -- the epicenter of past ODSS mayhem and knowledge sharing -- my shop at 41370 Friendship Ct., Mechanicsville, MD 20659. Conditions permitting, drive your Stovebolt. Otherwise, just come however.
I'm thinking Saturday, Feb 10. 0900 to whenever. Backup date would be the following Saturday.
Sundays would work just as well.
The OR currently has two patients -- Peggy's 1927 Capitol 1-ton and Joe-Joe's '69 Chevy long bed 1/2-ton. Two VERY different trucks undergoing frame-off restos so plenty to lean on, look at, work on, etc.
Not a huge event, just trying to get some of the local usual suspects out to meet some of our new joins.
I hope our new guys (both have Art Deco trucks, oddly enough) can come out to meet us.
NoVA, NoMD and SoPA boys -- you're welcome, of course. But I'm not expecting you to come long distance for some donuts and coffee. Chuck, PG and Calvert county members -- y'all are welcome. I guess.
Sounds like a plan?
Directions:
For the old timers -- Use Eugene's driveway, not the farm driveway. Park on the west side of the OR (Hambone's parking area
). Please don't block either the road in front of the OR or the driveways.
For new timers -- Take Friendship School Road (either from RT 5 or from Leonardtown via Maypole) to Friendship Ct. Once on Friendship Ct, turn right at the 3rd mailbox on the right (look for the chainsaw bars and the "Stauffer Bros and Sons" Logging/Produce sign). Follow it straight up the hill. The OR will be the first building you come to (on the right). Be aware that the property is part of a larger working Old Order Mennonite farm so there may be a fair amount of horse-drawn vehicle activity in the immediate area. Please be respectful and don't take pictures.
Well??
