you don't stand a chance, Todd! :-)
Ha! Wanna bet? The only thing that separates us native Vermonters and New Englanders from you good ol' boys down south is a few black ticks on the thermometer, and a whole lotta real estate. One of my favorite foods up this way is baked corn on the cob, soaked in a washtub full of water in its husks, then baked in a nice, hot campfire. Clam chowder and lobster are nice too, but not living on the coast means I enjoyed a lot more steak, burgers, chicken, and the usual fare. Fish and seafood were more of an exception or luxury, unless it was brook trout. Despite winter doing its best to discourage it, I grill and BBQ all year round. It just takes longer when it's -30 outside. (o:
You make it down here to Belton (held twice a year - check www.tarc.org for dates) or Mena, and I'll take off work (if I'm working that weekend) and meet you there, as well.
I will get there, it just might not be until 2008 or so. I'm looking forward to 'real' BBQ, steak, and everything else mentioned. I'm sure I'll fit right in as long as it involves food, music, and/or real radio. I just don't have a flag beyond my stars and stripes and a WWII Nazi flag adorned with GI grafitti which is meant to be admired, not flown. I'll check ebay, as soon as I reserve my frequency.
I'll also have my guitar and mandolin and I -know- that I can find *someone* who'll play the other part of "Dueling Banjos" with me... Just for you!
Yeah...yanno, since seeing that movie in my early 20s, banjo music has never been *quite* the same. It was even the watered-down version on network TV, and it still scarred me for life! BTW, I can't strum, but I play a mean set-o-skins. Or used to, once upon a time. I really just want to go packratting for more old gear that you guys have yet to discover. And get on the air so I can actually hear 'you all' when we have a QSO. ~ Todd, KA1KAQ ______________________________________________________________ AMRadio mailing list List Rules (must read!): http://w5ami.net/amradiofaq.html List Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/amradio Partner Website: http://www.amfone.net Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.html Post: mailto:[email protected] To unsubscribe, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body.
