Wendy, I was thinking ticket punch through the ear lobe and a pop rivet to hold the tag on.  That way, one tag should last for the whole Rally.  I'll practice on Carson ;) ;D

Don't forget rally photos, please! Accomplished photographer Ron Marabito will be there, and I suspect others will have cameras. Feel free to post any and all photos by attaching them to your forum message - see this explanation if you're not sure how to do that, and please take note of the file size limitations and photo resizing procedures. Be sure to ask if you're having difficulty.

I'll open a new album for the rally (see the Photos button above). I'm especially looking forward to the photo of Lou pop riveting a badge to someone's ear  ;D

I'm especially looking forward to the photo of Lou pop riveting a badge to someone's ear  Grin,,another quote.

   I think you guys are picking on me. Lou probably will need a ladder to reach my ear lobe..

Call the Press, we need lots of photos..

Wendy, Lou is so old he probably still uses a fountain pen or a feather dipped in an inkwell.

   Magic markers came well after he got on the scene... Maybe we should tell what they are.  ;D

Ron,

I haven't opened the album yet. You responded 33 minutes after I said I'd open it. But I've seen no photos yet  ??? The album won't be visible unless/until I add photos  ;) Presumably I won't see photos until after the rally has started  ???

On a more serious note.... I am a good cook, but a terrible meal planner, so I can't volunteer to step in for Gary and Nancy for Thursday nights dinner.  However, I was planning to bring a small amount (approx 2 lbs.) of home smoked shredded pork for potluck night.  I will increase that to several lbs.   Some will be seasoned in the eastern North Carolina style and some just hickory smoked, so if you have a favorite sauce bring a sample.   If someone can plan a meal around that, please step up.

Lou, turned your questions (query) over to DW and she came up with some ideas so count us in to help out with planning and prep.  We'll be there Weds, probably early afternoon.

     Well!, I could always add a few from the Smoky Mountains on the way to the rally.   How about that?

Joel, is that because you like out of control situations or because you fear for the rest of us?

Shirley and I will be leaving Pigeon Forge tomorrow, probably spend the night around Columbia and then head down to the Rally site on Tuesday.

We are traveling via IH 40 and IH 26.

We are in a charcoal gray bluebird wanderlodge in case you are on the road.

I've got 23 lbs. of pork shoulder ready for the smoker early tomorrow morning.  That should produce about 11 or 12 lbs. of shredded/pulled pork in about 12 hours.  I realize that not everyone does, or can, eat pork, but Eastern Carolina smoked pork is good groceries in these parts.

I purposely did NOT season it beyond the 'six pepper rub' that I normally apply prior to smoking. 

You Texans, and other foreigners, best bring your favorite sauce 'cause I'm a vinegar and pepper man myself.

I do have some:

Sweet Baby Ray's, (three varieties)
Carolina Treet,
Scott's,
Well's BBQ,
Smokin' Joe's,
Bone Suckin' Sauce,
Kansas City, Hickory,
Memphis Original,
South Carolina Mustard Sauce
and....
Western Carolina Tomatoe based Sauce.

But, other than that.... you better bring your own..... ;) :D

Thanks Gary, as You know, this will be my first rally.  One of the things I was most looking forward to was meeting, and visiting, with you and Nancy.  We'll do our part, in your absence, to make this a memorable event and anticipate an even better rally in the Spring.

God go with you.

Wendy, my ambition (dream) is to survive long enough to make one of the QZ rallys.  
I'd love to do a real down home pig pickin' on the desert.

Hopefully, my situation (and my health) will allow it sometime in the next few years.

BTW - Pig Pickin's ain't complete without some banjo pickin'.  Just look at my avatar and you can tell thars' a banjo in the RV somewhere.

Maybe a spring Carolina rally would attract some of us?
