What it take to get an invite to western VA where the woods are full of metal?
Looking forward to 2013 (JYT). Happy New Year.

I am sure if you had completed your last assigned task (ODSS jackets)instead of going AWOL and having the rush chair and Billy pick up the slack, I think you would have had an engraved invitation sent to you.
Just saying

Grigg stopped in a couple weeks ago for an advance recon and we might have another one soon. I figure we'll have the official tour in February, as per SOP. What dates look like the best for full participation? | | | | | Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 1,424 ODSS President | | ODSS President Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 1,424 | I'm in for another advance recon, maybe an odd 400-500# steel plate or so.

Happy to also hear of interest. Far be it for me (RE: jackets) to suggest dates, but weekend of 22 Feb would be only conflict for me. Advanced recon would also be interesting once the remaining 600 trees find new soil.
Happy new year.

I am good most Fridays as well, except the 15th. But, work will be filling in the schedule soon, so we need to make a decision.

Please advise.

As for the recon, I'm pretty much open. We still have a lot of snow on the ground and it's not going away fast; maybe the warm-up next week will take care of it. | | | | | Joined: Nov 1995 Posts: 5,721 62401 | | 62401 Joined: Nov 1995 Posts: 5,721 | Gracias, Hombre del NAPCO. I'm hoping to get planting wrapped up this weekend. We should have a good crew here tomorrow and again Sunday (hopefully ...).
The weekend of the 16-17 works for me, too.
Happy Friday, all!

As per JYT SOP, members can arrive at any time on Friday the 15th. Those that are here early enough will do some extra "junkin'". Bring a bed roll and stay at casa del napco Friday night and hit the Junkyard Saturday morning- after a country breakfast. If you can't stay Friday night, show up Saturday morning for the ride to Frankies/Mathias, WV.

Now mind you the 14th is Valentines Day so make sure you come home from the JYT with a nicely wrapped GMC/Chevy truck hood badge or an opulent window crank, shifter ball or something for the center of your universe in your lives (read: darling wife, wife-to-be).
I'll bring a couple dozen SPUD-NUTS (local glazed doughnuts made from potato flour). I am going to lay out this challenge...I bet those of us that are indulging in the aforementioned delicacy cannot eat just one...>IMPOSSIBLE< has never been done!!! Will finalize how many dozen based on head count.
I know it's a couple weeks early but I have already clipped my Official ODSS Adjustable Crescent Wrench via a carabiner onto my jeans in anticipation of the Official Greeting Ceremony.
Eagerly anticipating the ODSS JYT 2013,
Highest regards,
