    That's right! Camping! YAY!??

    Is the 40's Tech going to work out for you then?

    Do I need to whack your boss in the knees? Is he the guy that ripped of Basil for his straights? Someone needs to pay!

    Oh, yeah, besides the BBQ and PBandJ, you could make a piggy in a blanket, a hamburger hoagie, philly cheesteak, let us not forget our international friends in this endeavour: canned taco, (already know about the tamales), one great big honking canned crab rangoon or eggroll, chicken or lamb curry rolled in nan-bread; oh man, I'm making myself hungry just thinking about what all that company could can if they really wanted too. All they have to do is come up with a committee, or call me, I'm sure I could help them out.:D

    Yeppers that Tech is in my bag and ready to go right next to the Arko Shave stick my Shea Brush and of course - my bottle of M-Bomb.

    My Boss and I had a good chat about shaving today and I just told him we were camping and not working in a boardroom so he needs to chillaxe a bit. Although I do plan to shave everyday just like normal.

    I not angry - just not looking forward to sleeping in a tent. Although I think I will get used to it and it will be fun. My son is coming with me and we will be working together on a major event here in the northwest. We will be providing three audio systems for http://paddletomakah.org/. There will be a fair amount of work involved as these are large systems and need to be able to be heard by ten to fourteen thousand people. The days are long, 18+ hours so there will not be much time for "sleeping in a tent".

    I will have WIFI so I will be posting while I am gone.

    That's interesting. So you will be working at a tribal meeting?

    Sorry for the thread hijack.

    Yes in some ways it is a meeting. It is more like a giant Potlatch. All of the local tribes actually put their canoes (if you call it a boat they throw you in the water) in the water from their land. (or close to it) and they paddle to the host tribe. Some tribes come from over seas and they ride with a local tribe or they put in at a reasonable distance. On the first day all the canoes show up at the landing place (usually about a hundred canoes) and they have a big ceremony at the beach to give each tribe permission to come ashore. In Indian culture it is still an act of war to come on to another tribes land without permission. After that there is a huge feast that lasts until early the next morning. Then begins the week long ceremony. Each tribe has its turn in the center of the gathering area and they do protocal. They tell about their journey and their people. Then they break out the drums and sing and dance. No tribe is given a deadline as to when they have to be done because that is considered rude. At the end of the presentation they give gifts to the host tribe and then to the people at the gathering. Everything runs from what is called Indian time. (what do you call a watch with no hands? - An indian timepiece) So the days run until all the chosen tribes for that day are finished. It is a very interesting event and I do a ton of work for the local Tribe (the Suquamish) so I learn alot about how the culture works and how I can better serve them.

    I am thinking that a couple cases of Candwich's will be a good thing to have. on this - maybe I could trade one for a drum or something. (that was a joke - and in no way intended to be offensive, trading does happen at these events)

    Hello Billr, I just saw this fan and led light on daily deals with free ship; it runs for 37 hours on two D batteries and hangs from your tent for $19. May be of interest to you; my camping days mostly at Avon Park bomb range or Ft. Stewart firing howitzers ended with my discharge.:signs046

    When you think about it, P&G put potato chips in a tennis can and called them Pringles......:rofl

    That's because when the shipment of rubber for the tennis balls arrived they brought potatoes by mistake. Pringles, being the easy-going company that they are, said screw it, lets cut'em up.
