As to menu, lets get closer to the day before we worry about details. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 1,972 Big Bolt Forum Co-moderator | | Big Bolt Forum Co-moderator Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 1,972 | Decmeber 16 sounds like a plan, Gloira would love to come. Thanks for offering to host Bruce.

I think I know what Bruce is doing, he's trying to entice some more people into our group. We all know by this forum that there are a lot more people in this area than have responded to Bruces invitation. Come on people, nobody that I know in our group that have already responded bites, personally I think they're a great group. We will bring Naniamo bars (although I don't know why) and a turnup puff. I know it's way too early, but Merry Christmas everyone! | | | | | Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 460 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 460 | You don't know why you're bringing Naniamo bars? Have you forgotten Davey nearly jumping over Bruce's 2nd floor balcony when you left before he got some 2 years ago? That's why!  We'll bring a massive double decker shrimp ring with seafood sauce and probably some melt in your mouth shortbread as well... assuming I get them made in time... 20 dozen to make again this year!!!  | | | | | Joined: May 2004 Posts: 1,312 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: May 2004 Posts: 1,312 | Another bump to bring us to the top.....any of you " new " guys - come on out and meet the gang - we don't bite !.....well, maybe Trev does, but thats another story *g*

Did the Teamsters trucks ever find a home in Cloverdale? I can't find much definitive information on where they are on the web.

It's in the morning but sounds like it could go on for a while so instead of seating watching the time, I might as well say I can't be at Bruce's and relax during her thing.
Sorry Bruce, I was looking forward to the potluck.
Hope it goes well and everyone enjoys themselves.

Stovebolters, thanks Bruce (britcon) and Tammy for hosting. It looks like Boyd (BC52) is recovering nicely from his surgery. It was good to see everyone again and catch up with everyone. Good friends, good food, good times, I hope some more of the B.C. Bolters join us in some activities next year. Thanks again Bruce and Tammy for hosting! | | | | | Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 1,972 Big Bolt Forum Co-moderator | | Big Bolt Forum Co-moderator Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 1,972 | Yep, Ditto. And it didn't snow much this year. Bruce, I'll put a good word for you in the Maple Ridge Building Department.... wait I don't have any pull there. Never mind. Trev... look for your snowman down at the Vancouver flea market. I heard you can find all sorts of stuff there. Good to see everyone. One day my truck will be done. I am sure. Although what's the sense of dreaming if the world is going to end in 5 days?

Trev,can you discribe the snowman that was stolen? | | | | | Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 460 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 460 | As a matter of fact, yes I can Boyd... thank you for asking... No worries I am going to pick up a few of these old school snowmen and santas that everyone is giving away next spring cleanup and figure out a few ways to boobie trap them over the summer... I have to decide if I want to fry or just blow up the 'grinch' who tries to steal Christmas next winter when he comes back... If I choose the former he might end up with his 'chestnuts roasting on an open fire' or if I go with the latter and use too much black powder he might end up passing Santa's airborn sleigh in the stratosphere just before achieving orbit... such a shame! As for our meet, thanks Bruce and Tammy for hosting this Christmas get together... great meal and great to see everyone again...

Turns out the snowman who I thought was stolen was just waiting for his chance to escape... apparently he had a real rap sheet! | | | | | Joined: May 2004 Posts: 1,312 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: May 2004 Posts: 1,312 | Hey guys.....thanks for coming and bringing all that delicious food & goodies ! | | | | | Joined: Oct 2011 Posts: 71 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Oct 2011 Posts: 71 | And a Very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year bringing health and prosperity to all....!!!
