For those of you that are going and are really good at making friends, a king-sized bed is $33 more at the Linq Resort & Casino.

Whats in vegas in jan?

Joshua, so far it's my wife and I and my daughter and son-in-law. But I hope to see you and Justin and especially all the guys on

here that I've never met, like Vinke. My wife won't let me miss Vegas and as Bob Jameson can tell you, at my age I need adult

supervision. We booked the flight and rooms today, now don't let me forget the seminar ticket. January 15th - 17th.

Wct is in feb in indianapolis...what is in vegas?

Paul, my wife and I will also be there that weekend, but visiting our granddaughter and her parents (son & daughter-in-law). I talked Pat into letting me attend the Shot Show the next week and she has a "fun" limit for me so no nwcoa meet too.

NWCOA seminar.

Tom, maybe Pat will let you stop by the Linq and say Hi. ( When she isn't looking ) So what does your son-in-law do? Vegas ain't

exactly around the corner from Iowa.

Paul, Brian is a Tech Sergeant in USAF stationed a Nellis AFB

You're right about not exactly around the corner from Iowa, but not that far via Allegiant air. Direct flights from local airport twice a week. The really fun trip is visiting our other granddaughters in Oregon. Can't get there from here. At least not w/o passing through ORD and that's a pain.

Well looks like indianapolis is only one i am going to

Vegas!

Since I don't gamble, don't drink, and am about as married as a guy can get, I thought Vegas was the last place I would ever want to

visit. Just shows you how wrong a man can be. Anyone going to any seminar there is in a great mood. The food is excellent; even the

seminar meals. And we have yet to see a show in Vegas where I didn't get my money's worth. Completely different from our everyday

life and a welcome break. My wife really likes it.

UH OH!!

I'll get to see Wink for maybe the second time - worth the trip right there. Jim, will you be going?

Not sure which Jim you are talking to. But if it is me, No, I am not going to make it this year.

Oh, too bad.

What do you think about this Dave? For every guy that I've never met face to face, but have met on T-man, I buy them one adult

beverage. ( I'd throw in a free autograph but I don't want to start a stampede )

Uh, on second thought, I -uhh - don't think I really met you face to face yet, Wink. Probably was a dream.
Yeah, that's the ticket...

Dave, I just talked to Al. He, his wife, daughter and son-in-law also plan on attending. Glad I've met all of them before.

I really want to make it Paul. I got to get me a new truck and an employee truck, plus dues, and get ready for the Home and Garden Show. If theres a nickel left over, I'll make it.

Hope you do. I'd like to buy you that drink.

For everyone who does not show up Mr Wink????? Do I get their drink if I show up?

(up to four including mine)

Now I'm going.....prolly bring 17 disguises and claim to be anyone but James and Tony270.

Vinke, if you show up we can probably discuss how many drinks you should get. Probably over drinks with John and his many disguises.

What if we prefer king crab legs?

Then we will be assuming that you have never had dungenes..............

Dave bring the kings....other Dave bring the dungeness and Paul and I will tell you which one is best.

There is no contest. Alaskan King crab fresh out of Alaskan waters is one of the best foods God ever made. ( Especially for something

that eats garbage )

I'm still willing to eat. Lol. I'm 6'6"/250. Big boys need food.

Wink, will buy yer dinner Friday 1/15

Dave, I have two grandsons ( 6'5" & 6'6" ) staying with us until their new house gets built. By the time these guys move, someone

will have to pay for my meals.

Speaking of grandchildren, PJ and my daughter-in-law Jenny are expecting again but do not want to know the sex ahead of time. So all

the doctors and all the nurses told us to expect another grandson because with that heartbeat, it could only be a boy. So tonight

around suppertime Jenny blew them all out of the water and had a baby girl! Which rounded out the family nicely. I can only hope that

the advice us old "experts" give on T-man is more accurate than what the expert medical people gave us. By the way, PJ now has four

under the age of 8.

So by being old that makes us more smarter than udders

Joshua, I gave up on the "older is smarter" theory when the five year old fixed the smartphone. Today he is giving a powerpoint

presentation in preschool on his new baby sister.

I hope I LIVE THIS LONG,,,,,,, My bat house is killing me...................////////

Doesn't look lik I will make it this year paul.

I'm pretty sure that Vinke is going to want your free drink. If you can possibly make it, you would probably be saving poor Vinke

from a life or wine, women, and song.

Will keep my eye open for you Paul. See you there
Don LaFountain

Hey Don, always good to see you. Man, we've been doing this for a while now. They tell me that some of the casinos that we used to

have seminars at, have been leveled. I'm kind of looking forward to this new place. I'm sure they will be impressed with how suave

and sophisticated a bunch of trappers can be.

It's defiantly a lot nicer to go in jan than aug! lol

Allegiant Air ,,,,, 107 round trip...........
