  • Blockade Runners this weekend and beyond

    The camp should get a whole new face this weekend. If anyone wants to pitch in, just lemme know. I'm planning to make it out there with VJER on Saturday morning, probably not too early since we have a club meeting the night before. Since I have next week off, I'm leaving this trip open ended. I know I have to make it to New Orleans for Thanksgiving day, and that's my only restriction.

    So far it's me and VJER on Saturday, to be joined by my old high school coach, Tres Womack very late that evening. He may bring his daughter, but that's up in the air. If he does, no ogling guys! Her daddy will kick your butt! 007 will show on Sunday if he can find a ride down. Anyone else that wants to show, come on down. We'll be there until at least Monday at sunset, and perhaps until Tuesday afternoon.

    Here's the plan as near as I can reckon.

    Saturday: Move everything off the front porch and prepare the front wall for demo, remove old useless windows, then get old siding off. We'll pull off panels and rebuild the studs as necessary. We'll quit when we feel like it. Dinner on the grill and fishin' under the lights. Tres arrives around midnight.

    Sunday: Spend the day finishing the studs, installing windows, and the door, then putting the new Hardie panels up. If we have any time in the afternoon and 007 arrives, we'll hit the Ghost Camp for a while. Dinner and fishin' under the lights.

    Monday: Hopefully we'll be done with the wall, windows, and door. If so, we'll hit the Ghost Camp again.

    It won't be all work. I plan on lots of relaxin' and Tres should be bringing his guitar. He's the Texas Music Song of the year winner y'all, so he's pretty good. I'll be doing a big boil of some kind this weekend. Scrimps, crabs, or just a farmer's boil, with taters, corn, sausage, etc. I'll figure it out.

    Should be a darn good time. Hope to see some of y'all out there. - Sandy

        We'll see if I can make it. I get my kiddos this weekend so if the weather and boat ride ain't to bad from my side we'll see. I talked with a mutual friend last night who has offered the use of his motorless boat to act as a barge to load scrap into. All you have to do is say so. B&P

                Sounds like a great weekend to get lots done.
                Good luck getting the ghost camp down.

                  Things are really coming along with the Ghost Camp. It's not yet to the point that anything can happen without 007 up on the scaffold, but he's gettin' it there.

                    Wish I could make it, but I'll be getting back into to H-town sometime late Saturday morning and have to be back to work Monday. I'll have the last part of the week off, but you will be headed to NO, so I'll head back to the woods..... Got a spike to take care of up there.......

                    One of these days I'll get back down there to lend a hand, you can bet on it. Sure would have been a good place to head after dealing with all these Yankees up here this week........

                      Well, Everything is set so far. It's me launching around 10am tomorrow and picking up VJER soon after. Tres will show around midnight as he has a gig to play first. VJER's buddy Dean may be out to fish the lights too. Still lookin' for someone to grab 007 unless he is game for me to pick him up in the A.M. Unlikely from the level of 007'd-ness he was exhibiting this evening.

                      Hopefully by Monday, Blockade Runners will have a whole new face. I hope we'll also get some chewing done on the Ghost Camp as well. If anyone wants to lend a hand, give me a call 979-215-1755. - Sandy
