You're next up behind thayer so if I don't hear from him in a week your name will move up to #25 spot. Since he just signed up, said he wanted in and hasn't been back I have my doubts he will be but who knows.

Graybeard · « **Reply #32 on:** May 01, 2007, 01:01:48 PM »

Thayer has notified me via e-mail he will be able to attend the shoot and that he is really looking forward to it.

I think I may have just obliged you, or whoever was in line for the next two. My trip was to be a reward for all A's for my son . . . He is regrettfully not going to make it.

I hope we can get in next year.

Thanks not really the way it should be but deals are deals and I know that with all my kids while they were in school burned themselves at least once on deals like that I think it was just a test on me and I know every time it hurt me as much as them to keep my end of the deal. Graybeard you ain't even got to ask I'm in now just a matter of asking ? of others who have already made plans for this . Kurt

Graybeard · « **Reply #36 on:** May 01, 2007, 05:15:02 PM »

Boy this is getting to be almost like work keeping up with all the cancellations. We've had more this year than the two previous years combined. I can't believe that every single person who asked to be on the stand by list is now on the list to go. But they are.

Ibbuckshot I need a confirmation from you that you'll be going as you are now #25 on the list of official attendees.

I hope all you folks who've cancelled out have cancelled your motel reservations IF you made them. If not and you confirmed with a credit card you need to be cancelling them soon.

I sure wish me and Faye hadn't had to cancel but these dizzy spells I'm having just won't seem to stay away. I'm concerned about getting that far from home and not being able to get back.

ibbuckshot · « **Reply #37 on:** May 07, 2007, 03:42:17 PM »

Yes, I guess I will be attending. I did not think so many would be dropping out!!!

ibbuckshot · « **Reply #38 on:** May 08, 2007, 02:59:20 PM »

Sorry for jumping in and saying I would attend before requesting for leave time first. I have been waiting for a shoot like this for a few years. Before I could put in for my leave I was informed that I would be attending training as well as assisting in the firearms instruction for the next academy (early June) The only good thing about this is that it will open the door for the next person in line. It will be a great time. I am in hopes of receiving the event dates sooner next time.
Have Fun,
buckshot

The number of cancellations this time is just beyond belief. We again have an opening so if any of you folks who've been attending in the past and missed out on getting your name in the pot early this time want in now's the time to jump in.

Grandpa Mike? Warf? Anyone?

Ditchdigger · « **Reply #44 on:** May 09, 2007, 01:17:58 PM »

G.B. if there's still a spot left,my son Ruger1 has a friend that want's it. He's not on the internet and don't have a username so i'll give him 1. So put the new guy down as Milkofmagnisia.

He can ride with some of our bunch. Digger

Graybeard · « **Reply #45 on:** May 09, 2007, 06:00:20 PM »

Now I ask you digger is that a nice name for him?

Check your PMs for the new larger higher definition GBO Logo you asked for.

Ditchdigger · « **Reply #46 on:** May 10, 2007, 04:29:15 AM »

Believe me GB the name fits him perfect,I think he was raised on the stuff,cause he's the you know what.

Digger

Graybeard · « **Reply #47 on:** June 01, 2007, 05:14:44 PM »

There is yet another cancellation. I have been notified via e-mail that babe915 will not be able to make it so there is once again an opening for someone to fill but there are no more names on the stand by list. So if there is someone still wanting to go and able to make it on such short notice there is an opening.

Graybeard · « **Reply #48 on:** June 04, 2007, 06:11:01 AM »

Still more cancellations. JHT is having to drop out for health reasons just as I did. So neither he nor his partner D.C. will be able to attend.

This now makes three vacant slots that could be filled if someone really wants to go and can still make it on such short notice.

lik2hunt · « **Reply #49 on:** June 04, 2007, 03:04:04 PM »

Bill
You can make that four empty slots. Milkofmagnesia, Digger's friend, has dropped out as well.
I'm keeping a real close watch on this and I come up with twenty-one committed shooters now.

dano · « **Reply #50 on:** June 04, 2007, 03:26:41 PM »

Good thing I checked here tonight as I am getting the meat and was planning on cooking for 25. I will go ahead and plan on 25 as most of you have been big eaters

lik2hunt · « **Reply #51 on:** June 04, 2007, 04:28:40 PM »

Now I don't really look like the kind of guy that would eat very much do I?

Datil · « **Reply #52 on:** June 04, 2007, 04:50:37 PM »

Good for you Dano, I am bring some hickory, so you can cook it up like you always do.
see you Thursday evening. Marv.

GregP42 · « **Reply #53 on:** June 04, 2007, 06:11:36 PM »

Dag nabbit,

I wish I had some vacation left, I was so far down that I didn't bother getting on the list and drove dad to Florida and back this spring for his visit to my sister.... grr..... oh well, shoot lots of them for me and make sure they have some of that food for me too!

Greg

Graybeard · « **Reply #54 on:** June 04, 2007, 06:17:16 PM »

Noooo John you don't look like a fellow who would eat very much, well not anymore than I would have if my health would have let me make it.

Datil · « **Reply #55 on:** June 04, 2007, 11:28:18 PM »

Bill you missed out on the Pork Butts last year, Now talk about Good eatung.
Nobody turned them down. Dano has the seasoning down pat.
Marv.

Graybeard · « **Reply #56 on:** June 05, 2007, 10:10:16 AM »

Yup Marv I really hate not being able to make it. I had hoped to bring Mrs. GB with me this year and we were gonna do some additional driving around and sight seeing that she's been wanting to do since she was a wee small girl and at age 61 now that was a long time ago for her. But my health is such that traveling is just not a smart thing to do. She doesn't drive, never has so all the driving would be up to me.

I'm still having dizzy spells that come on with no notice and last from a few minutes to a few days at a time. Just not smart to be caught that far from home should one hit me. I got up this past Saturday morning feeling fine, packed the truck for a trip to the skeet range and shortly before time to leave a spell hit me so badly I had to go back to bed. Faye and Phil had to unload the truck for me as I wasn't even able to go out to do that. I was in bed all day fighting the dizziness and unable to get out to do anything.

The doctors have given up on trying to determine the cause of the dizziness. They've checked every thing they can think of and have not found the underlying cause. I've been to at least half dozen specialist my GP thought might be able to figure it out and had many batteries of tests run to no avail.

Unless the dizziness goes away and stays away for extended periods I'm not sure I'll ever feel safe getting that far from home again. The last trip I took my two oldest boys had to drive down to get me and bring me home the spell was so severe and lasted so long. At least that was but a few hours away here in Bama.

Wingman26 · « **Reply #57 on:** June 05, 2007, 06:05:36 PM »

I had a terrible time with dizzy spells a few years back, they just couldn't figure out what was causing them, they went away when the Doctor changed my blood pressure medication, all that crap I went through was a side effect of the medication!

Graybeard · « **Reply #58 on:** June 06, 2007, 11:18:20 AM »

The very worst of my dizzy spells I was eventually able to trace to a single medication also but not all of these spells have been traced to anything yet. In my case I suspect it's a combination of factors and I just don't know what all of the factors are that play into the dizzy spells. I just can't find any one thing that is common to all of them.

I gave up on that one pain med even tho it gave me more pain relief than any other I've found as I couldn't deal with the side effects. Until last Saturday I was beginning to think my dizzy spells might be over as I'd not had one that affected me enough to change what I do until then. But that one proved to me it's not behind me yet.
