If you do that, send me a picture of your set up and I can help you throw some sort of a plan together to get you started.

I'd never go, I have no interest really... but the idea of the boys club makes me want to complain for no other reason than complaining. I'd never drive to Tennessee, and wouldn't want to drive that road in a rental anything. Plus, there are way too many distilleries and historic places in Tennessee and Kentucky that I wouldn't have time to want to go to the dragon.Johnny_P wrote: ↑Tue Aug 14, 2018 12:40 pmI mean I would. Likely would have tried to go to the fap if I were invited this year. But is what it is. If it's a closed-off secret club mentality I'd rather not be there anyway.CorvetteWaxer wrote: ↑Tue Aug 14, 2018 12:34 pm
Maybe some others would like to try airboating. Everyone should be able to experiment at least once and see if they like it.

I guess it can't hurt to look if you know what you want Chain Reaction Cycles is UK I think, they're usually cheaper than US sites.

For me the distraction would be world-class mountain biking and epic hiking. Out where you are, you have some truly epic roads so there's little reason to go across the entire country to drive a twisty road.CorvetteWaxer wrote: ↑Tue Aug 14, 2018 12:45 pmI'd never go, I have no interest really... but the idea of the boys club makes me want to complain for no other reason than complaining.

My legs are still small though
Goal for next year is to add 2-3" to them.

Oh! Opportunity to showcase the world class gym! I should snap some after work. You all will be appalled. Actually IDK I haven't been up there in like 5 years.

I'd probably skip leg day and just focus on upper body. The legs get enough workout as is.

Glad you had such a good time, I just don’t like them anymore. Something about Trey’s solo style...I just can’t dig it. I used to, just don’t anymore.Thedude wrote: ↑Tue Aug 14, 2018 12:14 pmCan't imagine having fun isn't your cup of tea.Calvinball wrote:

The band is really on fire.
So many new people on the scene all saying the same thing "I had no idea anything like this even existed. This is amazing! Never experienced anything like it"
Employees as all the venues were getting turned out. Check out this beer vendor losing his shit to the music and jamming out...
After while his beers kinda disappeared lol
And then this young duder had his life changed at MPP
Sorry guys... I'm still on a high from it all... I may be acting like this for a few more days

That doesn't sound particularly entertaining.CorvetteWaxer wrote: ↑Tue Aug 14, 2018 12:41 pmImmigration status of some of my employees. The US Dept. of Labor has some crazy requirements for applications for PERM sponsorship. Basically they throw a bunch of resumes at me that I probably wouldn't see otherwise because they don't qualify and ask me to review them all. If anyone is a fit, it seems they won't sponsor the work status for the employee and I have to/should/might have to hire the person that they sent me the resume for, which is a US citizen. For instance, this is a Jr. position and a resume they sent me was for a guy that got a MS degree in 1973 and has been an editor at a very large tech publication for a lot of years. There's no way he fits in this pay scale.
Having this meeting to get the specifics and any repercussions.

Yeah, he 5 days I spent in Tennessee earlier this year were awesome. So much history and things to see. You can't throw a rock without hitting a battleground or other historic place. I could probably spend a month there sightseeing and never be bored.Johnny_P wrote: ↑Tue Aug 14, 2018 12:50 pmFor me the distraction would be world-class mountain biking and epic hiking.

So go. I've made several trips that weren't dfd or OG TOTD. This was our 14th year. We hit critical capacity at 21 peakJohnny_P wrote: ↑Tue Aug 14, 2018 12:50 pmFor me the distraction would be world-class mountain biking and epic hiking.

Our group is a bit different than the dfd group. And I honestly wouldn't recommend a couple make an effort to do "boys club" conversion into a "couple's retreat".
So yeah, hop in your car, drive 9-10 hours and stay at a airbnb cabin and do awesome things without concern for appeasing the group.

Ended up being kinda painless. However the .gov rules on this make no logical sense... imagine that.

Funny, I've almost no interest in the history around here. A bunch of rednecks were willing to fight to the death to keep their slaves?CorvetteWaxer wrote: ↑Tue Aug 14, 2018 1:34 pmYeah, he 5 days I spent in Tennessee earlier this year were awesome.

I’d do some driving, but all that stuff plus outdoorsy stuff like fishing would likely be more interesting to me as well.CorvetteWaxer wrote: ↑Tue Aug 14, 2018 12:45 pmI'd never go, I have no interest really... but the idea of the boys club makes me want to complain for no other reason than complaining.

In4 JP when he actually finds a world class gym and learns that all the company's money is being sank into it instead of cleaning mold and fixing roofs.

Thing is, everything I read about in school happened out there. NOTHING of significance to this country's history happened out here that couldn't have happened elsewhere.troyguitar wrote: ↑Tue Aug 14, 2018 1:40 pmFunny, I've almost no interest in the history around here.
