Last year there was a concerted effort to bring him into the fold, and in fact several were suggesting a collection to pay his dues, although he said he'd refuse it. We invited him for entertainment value. This year, it's a moot point.

I guess I've been recovering from various surgeries for so long, I don't know who we are "bringing back into the fold". OK, now I'm fully recovered and am willing to do battle with … I don't even remember who the heck they are, or were. By the way, is Francis Morin dead or alive? How about Ed Muderlak? I'll be at Ernie's regardless of who else is there. If I donate to the dinners, will I be welcome? What is the theme of the show and tell out on the Ernie prarie?

Kenny, that looks like the Super version of the one my son PCSd from Clearwater FL, to Kodiak AK, three years ago with a new wife, his dog and their cat. Towed behind his V10 Excursion, they took mostly byways, and spent a month from one small camp site to the next. They broke an axle in the Yukon, and a guy drove his forklift 10 miles to get them, and carried it 10 miles back to his shop, sent a guy to Whitehorse for a new axle, and had them back on the road by morning. Other than a couple Yuenglings, he refused to be paid.

I don't fold well these days and so far I can still pay my own way. I will miss Ernie's as it's always a good time but I'll probably be saving thousands of dollars by staying home this time. The Medford shoot has a serious lack of vendors which can be a good thing.
