The Stovebolt Site Forums The Side Lot Old Dominion Stovebolt Society (MD, VA, West VA, DC, DE and PA) Winchester is coming up fast !

This event, from a Stovebolt perspective is not like Homecoming where we have planned meals and dish duty and a "who brings what" list. In the past folks, are spread out doing their own thing, wrenching on trucks, taking test drives or walking the show field. It was always hard to get a firm number for dinners so we sort of fly by the seat of our pants and it has always worked out. Food is served on site in the fieldhouse, I think starting with lunch on Thursday, breakfast and lunch on Friday and the same on Saturday. Get a ticket when you register for the Ruritan dinner Friday night. Well worth it and the money goes to a great cause. We will have hot dogs in camp for lunches but again, it just sort of happens when it happens . Saturday night is when we typically have the Stovebolt Grand Ball and Food Extravaganza. There will be hamburgers and whatever hot dogs that are left and a few others contribute to the meal. Again, not very structured but there has always been plenty of food for everyone. If you feel like bringing a little something to add to the mix you are welcome to but don't feel like you have to bring enough to feed the entire crowd. Maybe a side dish or snacks, water or um, other beverages or ?? If you have any questions, let me know.
See you all in Winchester.

Gentle people of the ODSS,
I regrettably will not be in attendance this year - as if that really matters except for the charges that will inevitably now fall on Pat's and Jim's shoulders. Sorry about the Pat and Jim. I can be reached on the quiet waters of some lake in central NH, most likely enjoying the morning mist and the salmon and lake trout fishing. But that should not be necessary you will have others to pester.
I will look over my shoulder from time to time and wonder what my brothers are up to in Winchester. Enjoy the company and the weekend. I will expect a full accounting upon your return.

We should set up a roster so that every 15 to 20 minutes, one of us is ringing Hambone's cell phone. Or at least leaving him a butt load of vm's to have to delete ...

Hale to the northern bolters , when will be leaving and which route would you be taking, I would like to try to hook up with the northern caravan into Winchester if possible.

John,

Jim

I nominate Mike B. to bring his fire truck to handle dust control!!
All in favor?

Sorry Jim, but the Fire Engine will not be in attendance this year...bringing the pickup!

Mike B

Hambone! WTH! Of course it matters. You will be missed sir.
I bet there is a little nip in the air out on the lake in the mornings lately
