Friday Night Feed at Rock Mt SxS Challenge

[Mike Koneski]

As we've done the past few years, we'll have the Friday Night Feed in the pavilion approximately 4:30-5:00. Anyone that wants to attend is welcome. We ask that you bring a food item or beverage to share. Since David will be in Alaska with family on a fishing trip (he didn't schedule it) and Steve can't do the BBQ all by himself, I have an alternate source for the food. Greenley's will be bringing in BBQ chicken thighs, pulled pork and jalapeno poppers. David will be back with Steve in 2025 to fire up the smoker again. If you will attend please let me know what you will bringing. Vielen Danke!!

[Dan Steingraber]

I’ve got 10lbs of Lake Erie perch fillets.

[Mike Koneski]

Do you have a fryer?

[Chuck Bishop]

I'm hoping to be there. I'll let you decide what I should bring. Maybe Chicken Pot Pie:rotf::p:rolleyes:

[Dan Steingraber]

Do you have a fryer?

Nothing that is easily transported. I can bring a pot/pan and everything I need if someone local has a propane burner like a turkey fryer burner that would help.

[CraigThompson]

Well darn I killed all those poor deer to bring the backstraps up for Friday night . But I don’t wanna be the one doing the cooking .:cool::whistle:

[Daryl Corona]

Well my friend, you are always posting your culinary accomplishments here on the forum and you're feeding the boys at the shop, so it looks like you'll be cooking backstraps for us at the Meshoppen Meltdown. Thanks ahead of time.
Medium rare please.:):):)

I’ll see what I can come up with.

[Mike Koneski]

My neighbor is going to smoke venison backstraps for us. I’ll be giving him 3 or 4 and they’ll be on the menu too. I’m hungry now!! 😱🤪

[Dan Steingraber]

Puting in the work for the fish fry. :cool:

[Dave Tatman]

West Basin, Dan?

[Dan Steingraber]

West Basin, Dan?

Yes Dave. Near the water intake for the City of Toledo today in about 20 feet of water. Slow bite today but we ended up with 17 pounds before cleaning.

[Dave Tatman]

Nice! I know that area well. We’ve also caught a lot of walleye off Port Clinton.

Dave

[CraigThompson]

Dan the Man , I’m not a big fish eater . But I’ve never to the best of my knowledge tried Walleye and look forward to it !

[Dan Steingraber]

These are yellow perch Craig. I prefer them over walleye.

[Dana Fisher]

I won't be there for the feast, but I have a large, heavy duty propane burner with 12" diameter burner that should work. I plan on coming up Thursday some time. Just let me know if you want me to bring it. It attaches to a 20lb tank. I won't be leaving until Saturday pm.

Thank you Sir. I believe that Mike has secured a burner but we will verify that.

[Dana Fisher]

I won't be there for the feast, but I have a turkey fryer burner available. I'll be arriving Thursday sometime and leaving Saturday afternoon.

[Stan Hoover]

Hey Mike,

I can bring deviled eggs as I did last year, seems like they were all devoured if memory serves correctly.
Let me know of I should be bringing anything else.

Stan

[CraigThompson]

Don’t think I’ve ever had perch either , so look forward to trying them . My fish consumption is usually stripers , crappie , trout and catfish as far as what people caught . From the grocery store I like tuna , salmon , cod and mahi mahi . And of course we can’t leave out tuna sushi and sashimi !

[Mike Koneski]

Thanks Dana, our one neighbor has a fryer we will be using.

Hey Mike,

How we lookin'? Anything specific you would like us to bring?

I was thinking of bringing deviled eggs also to supplement the ones Stan Hoover is bringing. More of a good thing is better.

Is there some refrigeration available there at the pavilion?

It being a Friday, will a plain, single color shirt be acceptable? It might mean going to the back of the line tho. I probably shouldn't have said this to give you ideas!

Deviled eggs will work! The more the merrier. They can be stored in the fridge in the lodge.

As for shirt, if you wanna get lei’d you need either Hawaiian or bowling. Anyone who gets a lei goes to the front of the line.

[Tom Kidd]

Hi Bill,

We are about the same size, want me to send you a Hawaiian shirt?? I'll even wash it first.

Take Care, Tom

Gee, that's pretty good incentive. But, how do I explain?

[Bill Jolliff]

The reward will be wonderful. Risky, but wonderful!

[Mike Koneski]

The reward will be wonderful. Risky, but wonderful!

Just tell the lovely Mrs. Jolliff that as you age you realize some things are just fun and some things are just cool, but Hawaiian shirts are both fun and cool! :cool:

[Craig Larter]

Mike: My new wardrobe is all set, looks kind of nice with the 8ga DH LOL. Bill Jolliff I also have a spare shirt for you.

I'll take you up on that Craig. I'll see you this coming Thursday.

Tom K - I'll use Craig's. Save you some postage.

I couldn't keep a straight face about all this, so I mentioned to my wife about getting lei'd at Mike's. "Yeah, sure", she said so it looks like I'm all set. I can't wait.

About like 2 years ago when I started driving home from Ernie's, I gave her a call and said I'd be home in about 3 hours.

She said she would have a nice surprise for me when I got home but she wouldn't tell me what it was.

So ya kinda wonder what she has for me so no delays driving home.

She was right, she had a fresh baked rhubarb pie for me. What could be better. Rhubarb pie is my favorite. Boy, was I happy!

[Mike Koneski]

You da man!!! That’s awesome! :clap:

[TOM DAMIANI]

Shoot all four. Problem solved!

[CraigThompson]

Shoot the Parker , if you must keep the Fox , sell Roberts the 21 and if I’m correct thinking the other ones an NID sell that to Stan the Man . All my BS aside very nice accumulation , shoot whichever you think fits best !

Craig, I have dibs on that Ithaca. Just sayin’.

[CraigThompson]

Craig, I have dibs on that Ithaca. Just sayin’.

I ain’t buying anything ! Famous last words :rotf::rotf::rotf::rotf: What ya want the Ithaca for ? You trying to weasel your way on “Team Hoover/Bawell” :rotf::rotf::rotf:

[Mike Koneski]

No. It’s a very nice gun. Good dimensions choked F/F. It’s like a twin to my VHE live bird gun.

[Frank Srebro]

So yesterday I changed the front sight from silver to "ivory" and shot the Ithaca NID Double Trap gun today; she ended up high gun in our regular group of 8 shooters. All the other guys had modern competition over/unders and semis. :)

She's a 1930's Number (Grade) 4E with Number 5 checkering, 32", double triggers, vent rib. Has great sporting clays comb dimensions and 14-5/8" LOP over the hard buttplate. Mike latched on to her again today and reminded me of my promise of first dibs to him if I ever decide to sell. :)
.

[Mike Koneski]

She will be mine. Oh yes, she will be mine. :rotf:

[Randy G Roberts]

No. It’s a very nice gun. Good dimensions choked F/F. It’s like a twin to my VHE live bird gun.

And it has 2 triggers, not real common on that configuration IMO. I really like that one.

[CraigThompson]

I’ve gotten so I like all them guns with the side ways holes in the rib .

[Stan Hoover]

Frank,

Forgive me if I asked this before, but does that Ithaca serial # begin with 454,xxx?? Or which year may that have been built?

Thanks,
Stan

P.S. Mike, I know it's not something that happens frequently, but you look pretty good holding that Ithaca:)

[Frank Srebro]

Stan, the s/n is 4574xx. Slow sales during the Great Depression and with Ithaca doing serials in "blocks" for the special Vent Rib high top frames, I'm thinking she left the factory much later than might be indicated just by the serial number. She doesn't have cocking indicator pins and the Trap beavertail f/e is the newer "long style". Possibly shipment in the mid to late 1930's. My Cody membership has expired and if I renew it I'll get an Ithaca records readout.

[Stan Hoover]

Ah,
I was typing without looking, sorry about that.

The grade 3 you acquired a few years prior was an earlier NID if I remember correctly, indicators and short BT, also with double triggers?

[Frank Srebro]

Good memory Stan. I had a Number/Grade 3E Double Trap NID s/n 4337xx with the earlier shorter beavertail f/e, 32", Vent Rib and double triggers. It had a conventional high trap comb and 14" LOP over its Ithaca pad. Also cocking indicators. Stock comb a little too high and LOP a little short for me to shoot sporting and I didn't want to modify an all original gun ..... traded off. Just to elaborate on how Ithaca did blocks of serials for higher grade and special guns, along with the effect of the Great Depression on its sales, the Cody readout shows: Proofed for factory stock in February 1928 and shipped to customer in November 1936. Tough times and tight money.

NEXT WEEK WE WILL HAVE THUNDER ON THE MOUNTAIN!!

Thank you kindly ! However the genteel souls from the south would prefer Lynyrd Skynyrd and 38 Special :rotf::rotf::rotf::rotf:

[Mike Koneski]

I can do any Skynyrd but Free Bird. I can throw in The Allman Bros, Blackfoot and some Black Crows too for good measure.

[Daryl Corona]

Throw in some Willie Nelson and Dolly Parton and then you'll be hitting on all 8 cylinders.:whistle:

[Bill Jolliff]

Throw in some Willie Nelson and Dolly Parton and then you'll be hitting on all 8 cylinders.:whistle:

And Loretta Lynn and Patsy Cline.

The last get polluted drunk concert I attended was an open air deal at the fairgrounds in Fredricksburg VA . Blackfoot and the Outlaws played lead off for Molley Hatchet , the Pagans were in force there all sporting colors .

[Mike Koneski]

Personally, I'm a Ramones, Clash, B52s, Zevon, Zappa, Stones, Depeche Mode and Cure. John Hiatt and John Prine are good too. :corn:

I actually like all the above especially Prine and the B52's. I'll now throw in Dire Straits and Leonard Cohen.

[Randy G Roberts]

Sign of a misspent youth? :rotf:

Is it misspent if one enjoyed every minute of it? Asking for a friend.

[Mike Koneski]

I prefer they dress like this....The Grotto could use some Go-Go boot action besides Daryl in his Kennetreks!

https://youtu.be/NXRBQGG_acs?feature=shared

[Mike Koneski]

We still need soft drinks, plates/plastic forks-spoons-knives, napkins and desserts. We also have nobody bringing veggies.

Bob, don’t forget there may be LC Smith shooters so they really don’t eat much meat. 🤣😂

[keavin nelson]

I will find some sweet things for dessert, and plastic utensils, paper plates & napkins. Maybe I can entice the misses to even bake something, but don't hold your breath:rotf:

Keavin, I had previously replied/posted that I would bring the plates, utensils, napkins, etc. But as you want to I am graciously stepping down. Many thanks :)

[Mike Koneski]

So far we have smoked venison backstraps, Cajun grilled pheasant breasts, fresh fried perch fillets, pulled pork, bbq chicken thighs, jalapeño poppers, clams, smoked duck breast, deviled eggs, grilled cob on the corn, dessert, water and soft drinks. I might have missed something, but that’s close.

[Mike Koneski]

Add buffalo chicken cheese dip to the menu

[Mike Koneski]

Keavin, I will let Sam know not to pick up utensils. Thanks.

[CraigThompson]

As for shirt, if you wanna get lei’d you need either Hawaiian or bowling. Anyone who gets a lei goes to the front of the line.

Leid or not the ladies need to be allowed first if they so choose ! Or is that only followed in the south :rotf::rotf::rotf::rotf::rotf:
