Discussion topics and language depend on who is within earshot of who is talking.
But, it is a family event and I also have to watch what I say.

Politics and religion can be talked about anywhere out side of Stovebolt HQ.
And you will not drag me into those topics.
You and Ron may have to move your lawn chairs away from everyone.

Just remember Stovebolt.com will not be responsible for medical bills, body part shaped dents to your trucks or missing teeth. As Don said there will be kids/wives there along with people you don’t know. Plan your discussions accordingly. Y’all have fun now ya hear!

Looks like my wife and I are going to be there Saturday. Couldn't get the all ducks in a row to bring the truck with us though.
I can bring a 10 x 10 pop up tent with us if you think that might be needed and allowed.

Martin, you forgot to mention bail money!

Phil
Bring the awning, if you have room.
It may or may not be needed.
Also lawn chairs are required!

This is the 15th Annual Reunion and looking to be a good turnout.
We usually have about 40 folks at the Stovebolt Meeting.
Bring a camera and take a lot of pictures!

Don

I will add to those who have never been there. The weather is very changeable no matter what the weather report says so pack accordingly.

I hope you are correct Martin, I pulled up 3 different reports and some are saying anywhere from the upper 80s to mid-90s. Not much of a sun person especially on the blacktop.

it's 10:11 am, I have not yet begun to pack for my personal needs. I still need to shoehorn a heavy tranny into the bed of my truck. AND finish digging and putting in pipes for some much needed irrigation sprinklers. I will be on the road dark and early Friday morn

Looking at the DOT highway maps. The interstate roads are all open in the Midwest.
Vicki and I should be at the show grounds about 2pm, mark off the Stovebolt area and set up HQ.
Pink shirts will be required Saturday!
Orange on Friday!

Bring your camera and post a lot of pictures.
