picky Posted August 19, 2006 Author Share Posted August 19, 2006 I've made some last minute changes (above). Please contact me by the end of today so me can plan accordingly for food and beverages. Thank you! -Glenn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizRotus Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 Glenn, I'm still planning to be there. I'll bring a crab dip and chips or crackers to dip into it. You need not figure any alcohol for me, as I'll still be medicated following a recent bout with a kidney stone that required surgery. All the horror stories you might have heard about kidney stones are true. It is extremely painful. I'll bring bottled H2O; got to keep flushing the system. Looking forward to seeing you and Verna again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet you will surprise everybody with the sound of your RF 7 Theatre ! Would love to hear it, I have never heard a complete RF 7 Theatre set up correctly .

rcarlton Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 Wish I could be there too. Need another case of Vernors. Miss the pickled ring bologna. Getting home sick. Go Tigers! Go Spartans! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
picky Posted August 22, 2006 Author Share Posted August 22, 2006 dtel: You know for sure that you and Christy are welcome here anytime you ever happen to be up in this neck of the woods! Just give us a shout if you are. I'll bet it would be quite a comparison for you to hear my RF-7s after listening to those Cornwall 3's! Thanks for the good words. rcarlton: Yeah, we just had ring bologna the other night, too (it wasn't pickled, however)! Vernor's shares the title of "America's oldest soft drink" with Hires Root Beer. Both were invented in 1866. I don't know if you are aware but, Vernors is now marketed in many states including Texas! You can find it in Kroger's Stores. You can also order it on-line from Amazon.......for $12.00 for 4 six-packs (a case). Not bad. They consider it to be a "gourmet food"! Now, THAT'S FUNNY! [] What about FAYGO? Remember that one? They're owned by National Beverage now, which owns Shasta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
picky Posted August 22, 2006 Author Share Posted August 22, 2006 Well, there's just a {edit} couple more days until the BBQ. I have heard back from most of the members (thank you very much) who had said they might be able to make it and unfortunately other things have a way of happening and getting in the way of plans. So it looks like we are going to have a {edit} nice turnout and we'll be enjoying the food, the gear and each other's company! Just to throw another curve at us, the weather guessers are now calling for 20% rain on Saturday. When are they ever right? [] So, the good news is that right now, we've got {edit} 6 members (plus guests) and 2 non-members attending (plus myself) and if it does rain, we've pretty much got all of that handled. Should any of you out there care to join the party last minute: No problem! Just email me right away and let me know as soon as possible that you wish to attend and how many. I will forward directions to you. Thanks again, everyone. -Glenn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcarlton Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 Picky, The Vernors down here is not aged in old oaken buckets, but rather barrel aged. What gives? Doesn't taste the same. And...it's bottled in San Antonio!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizRotus Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 Glenn, I emailed that my 23 year-old son would like to meet you and to see and hear your home theater. If it's OK, put us down as 2 for certain. We'll bring food. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndyKlipschFan Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 You know a kidney stone being passed through your you know what... is worse than delivering a child.. OUCH!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay481985 Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 My father had some big ones but I do not thing he ever teared..... as opposed to women delivering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
picky Posted August 23, 2006 Author Share Posted August 23, 2006 My father had some big ones but I do not thing he ever teared..... as opposed to women delivering. Whoa, Jay: We're really glad to hear that your dad had "BIG ONES" (he must be very proud), but that's pretty much TMI !!! LOLOL! [] ........but, seriously, that HAD to hurt! rcarlton: I could be incorrect, but as far back as I can remember, Vernor's extract (not the actual soda) has always been aged in oak barrels (or casks) not buckets. I took a tour of their plant with my mom back in the early 1960's (yes, gentlemen: I AM OLD!) and we even saw the barrels. Their plant, which was originally on Woodward Avenue in Detroit, closed in 1985. It is now owned by 7-UP, which explains it's being bottled in San Antonio. Vernor's hasn't tasted like real Vernor's (even when bought here) ever since they closed the Woodward plant in '85. A little Vernor's history: Vernors was sold to American Consumer Products in 1971, then to United Brands in 1979 who ended bottling operations at the Detroit plant in 1985. In 1987 they would sell Vernors to A & W Brands. A & W itself was bought by Dr Pepper/Cadbury in 1993, and in 1996, Dr Pepper merged with 7Up. Neil: Of course your son is welcome! We'll be glad to meet him! Our son, BIll will be there, too. He's 31. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
