Is this event open to all bolters?

Yes Rick, its free and just be there. You will meet a lot of like minded Bolter's there.
It's family friendly and spouses are encouraged to join us. It's not just talking about truck. it's getting to know others.
What part of Kansas are you in?

Don King

Hope you all have a great weekend and meeting other stovebolters is the best part Ron its not to late for you to go

Well, Tim, it is too late for me for a lot of things. But I guess that is not one of them but for a one-day event, it is a long haul, not as far as yours but hard on an old man. Excuse #1 it will be hot and with COPD I don't do heat very well. I am out of breath just putting shoes on. I will have to live vicariously through written and linguistic reports that tend to make me jealous and last but not least is missing out on Miss Vicki's cookies.

Don,

I have and will bring some extra camp chairs (think I have 4 or 5) just in case anyone forgot or didn't have room to bring. I can also bring a couple of coolers if needed to hold ice/drinks. Let me know and I'll bring those along too. If anyone else thinks of something needed/forgotten, give me a shout!

Looking forward to meeting/seeing everyone that can attend!

Tim, the Reunion has evolved to be more like the Homecoming was. More up close and personal with plenty of things to see and do.
Hopefully you can make it back to the States sometime and we can do another road trip starting at the Dallas Airport.

Ron, you will be missed along with Alvin but, health and family comes first. Maybe next year you can get JDL to road trip with you?

Dan, I'll also have a few extra chairs and an awning if need be. Mongo has three more awnings.

The pulled pork is ready to shred and the beans are done.
Vicki's cookies are also boxed up and ready to load. I tasted more than I should have yesterday. She baked 7+ dozen.
I have a case of water ready to ice down Saturday morning. Dogs are in the fridge and plenty of buns are in a tote ready to load.
If anyone wants to bring a side dish or snacks, please do. But, it is not required to join us.

JW, we need an update from you! But the main thing is to just be there!

Pictures! We need everyone to take and post pictures of the weekend. In my world before I retired, "if it is not documented, it didn't happen"!

Enough said, time to shred some pork and patty the burgers>

I think I’m officially bowing out. Sorry to disappoint. Don, let me know if you want PayPal or a check for the t shirt I ordered.

Still fighting the truck. The trip was to be my birthday present (Saturday). I think I will end up spending what would have been a couple hotel rooms and gas on parts instead. I could drive the daily up there, but now I’m determined to figure out what’s up with the truck. And the family kinda wants me here anyway.

I’m pretty bummed. This came closer than I ever thought it would to working out. But life goes on.

I'm in Chanute. A couple hours away I think. Maybe more I'll have to look uo the address.

Great Rick, we will meet up tomorrow evening or at least Saturday at Mongo's.
You will not regret attending! And will be addicted to the folks you meet!

An old truck and an old car and an old man do not mix to go that far. I wish you all a good time and a safe trip. Also, the truck is making some suspicious noises in the suspension. It goes in the shop next month. Yes it would be nice if JDL would drive me again but he is 4 hrs away to even start the trip, he lives in southern In. and I live in north central which is 156 miles south even before we would start going northwest. Also with a sinus condition, I have been only sleeping 2-3 hrs. a night.
