Bob, We're looking forward to meeting you as well. You're on the list. Do I remember you from a previous QJ gathering at Copia? I think I do. Any friend of Marten's is a friend of ours.

Some time ago, I posted that we would have more info regarding costs. This is what we have decided.

It makes sense to order bulk meats & sides if we have 12 or more. Otherwise, it makes better sense to order from the menu. I feel confident that we can have 12 or more at our dinner. I have invited a couple of presenters that I know you will enjoy becoming better acquainted with, and we could benefit from learning from them about trip possibilities in some really remote areas. As of now, they have not accepted our invitation, but I'm hopeful they will. If we have 12 or more, we will order bulk, and the dinner will cost $12 each. If we do not have that number, we will order from the menu, and, of course, you can get exactly what you want, and the cost will be whatever you order. To see their menu, go to (You need to Login or Register to view media files and links) .

When I get affirmative responses, I will let you know who is coming to dinner to join us. As we indicated before, we will have some Madtown area craft beers, regular & diet pop, and bottled water for beverage choices. MuleLars, Wally 13, and portage dog are providing the craft beers, and any donation you can provide will defray their costs. The other beverages are free.

We always look forward to these annual modern-day Voyaguer Rendezvous'. If you're still on the fence, make your plans now to join us. While the deadline for responding to the Saturday dinner is Friday night at our Meet N Greet, we would appreciate knowing soon if you can come. Everyone is welcomed and encouraged to invite and bring friends and family members.

Once again, MuleLars has graciously volunteered to be our catering boss, and he will pickup and deliver the food. We need to collect funds on Friday, if possible, to enable him to make payment. Cool

Bob, do you own a Visla?

Old Slat, we have met and I caught your presentation last year, looking forward to talking fishing again with you.

Yes Tom, I do own a Vizsla, Jake.  We met last year and have communicated a bit on other boards.  I also ordered a jacket for Jake last week from D-fa dogs - thanks for the suggestion  Cool

I would like to talk with you about the Jessie lake area in the Q, that is my trip this spring.

Bob.

Ahh, because of the different board names I wasn't sure.  It will be good to chat again!  Also, which coat did you get Jake?  I love the one I have, it's basic but just high quality.

Bob,

Jesse is a great choice for a base camp!  Lots of nice reefs and excellent wildlife-sighting possibilities.  I'm sure there will be guys at the QJ dinner who can help you out, including Old Slat.  If OS starts telling you about the healthy population of pollyhumpers in that lake, however, beware!

Wish I could join you guys for the festivities but it ain't happenin' this year.  Enjoy!

Jimbo   Cool

Tom,
I ordered the wool jacket to use under his wind, rain coat.  I am excited to get it.  I forgot about the different screen name,  I am glad you pieced that together.

Bob.

OS, I kind of liked the sound of it, so I went with it, too.  Here's what the dictionary has to say:
****

noun
1.
a long thin, narrow strip of wood, metal, etc., used as a support for a bed, as one of the horizontal laths of a Venetian blind, etc.
2.
Aeronautics. a control surface along the leading edge of a wing that can be extended forward to create a gap (slot) to improve airflow.
3.
slats, Slang.
the ribs.
the buttocks.
(initial capital letter) a nickname for a tall, slender man.

***

I'm thinking "Old Slat" is preferable to "Old Buttocks"... but that's just MY opinion.

Whatever definition you choose, a slat is able to carry weight. It’s a supporting member. Something to rely on, when you lay down at night, you trust it. I don’t think it’s a good idea to carry this too far, but you get the idea... Thanks for the compliment.  Cool

Enough about Old Slat, who is coming to dinner? Cool

I have some great news!

Bill Voight, who is presenting ‘Wood River Lakes, Alaska’ at 12:30 pm in Voyager room at the Clarion will be joining us, along with his 3 canoe buddies for BBQ. You won’t want to miss his presentation. He and his friends have paddled many northern rivers in Canada and Alaska. If these adventures are on your radar or bucket list, they can help you plan that epic adventure.  Cool

Additionally, Snowdog will be joining us both evenings.  Cool

That brings our dinner count to a level that we can order bulk and the price will be $12 per person for dinner. Cool We do request $5 per person per evening to cover meeting room rental. Thanks  Kiss
