What's this "we" stuff? ... the folks that normally go ought to correspond and make it an " unofficial" shindig. Do you really need MINELAB there to have a good time? Of course, someone needs to inform Bill of the unofficial beep-o-rama. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stillweaver hillbelli 229 Posted July 12 Tom , LSD is not my backyard like al' y'all's. The idea is to have NO leader...just a group consensus of who wants to go, where and when. I would assume perceived liability comes in to play withBill's decision, as well as Minelab, or other sponsors not wanting to deal with "complications", shallwe say. Not to mention there's probably a contingent of that have decided to hunker down already. But then, Tom, I believe you were being a bit facetious in response to my blunt delivery.

Maybe you should correspond with those who you have met at the outings in the past and see if there is any interest in meeting up with you? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike Furness 1,511 Posted July 12 Bob ... I do normally go and participate with the instruction end of things. The campfire sessions are the best though! Stories and lies, big gold and lies and more stories and lies! LOL! 2 3 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The word on the streets is he wants to have an outing anyway. I think he is having trouble finding a buddy to go with him. I would do it but Im going deer hunting with my son that weekend. If you know of anyone that could put up with him around a campfire please tell them to drop him a PM. Thanks Mike! 1 2 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know it means so much to him... I means zip to me, except in a vicarious way. My only thoughts were that folks need to get outdoors where the chance of transmission is nil. Vit D is a big booster for the immune system. Get some sun, folks. Don't worry about me,Bob. I wouldn't want your brain cell to have a stroke. Never been to one of the outings, as I am not a serious beeper. By the way, I got your little guy right here 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bedrock Bob 3,769 Posted July 13 Maybe you should take the little guy out and get him some sun once in a while. It has been so long since you two have done any serious beeping he is probably low on vitamin D. I'm just messing with you a bit Weaver. Don't get too wrapped around the axle. It is all in good fun! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
