Hi Everyone!

We had to cancel our last planned trip in 2010, so we are super excited to come and visit everyone again! It's been too long!

*Squeeeeee!!* It's a long ways off, but I am soooo excited!!

YAY! Finally...several years later after going back and forth across the interwebs...I'll get to meet Bacardi, in person. At least I'm legal now!  :D And I get to give Muffin a big hug!

So looking forward to it!

Job transfer?  To Texas??  That would be sweet!

233 days isn't that bad, just think tomorrow will be 232 days  ;)  It can only go down from here and then there is all the booze that has to be bought, the packing, planning, the booze that has to be bought, the tent prepping, the checklist, the booze that has to be bought...  it will go by in a flash!
Title: Re: Let the planning commence!
Post by: Capt. Bacardi on April 04, 2012, 07:45:37 AM

Lets see booze is already being stocked piled, will have to make more loki thou. Tent, supplies and garb with be ready because we just finished our faire. So we should be just about ready at the end of Sept.  ;D

The job transfer is pretty much just a dream... We do have a government risk location in San Antonio, but it likely won't happen.. *pout* I wish though!!!

Sorry, I wish we could, but with getting days off coordinated and the long trek that it is, closing weekend works best for us.. Plus it gives us a few weeks to recoup from the MNRF run..  ;)

That sounds a lot more reasonable, Laird Fraser... I'd hate to be responsible for keeping track from this far out, especially since TRF isn't one of my normal haunts.  Bacardi was asking, so I take it that he's getting anxious...

Post by: LadyJessica on May 18, 2012, 01:32:49 PM
Muffin, you really need to learn Rennie math...I'm fairly good at it but Jules would have to double check for me.

We have 104 days until opening because today doesn't count and June 17th doesn't count cause that's Father Day.  The weekend before the 4th of July I'll be on vacation so that took off 4 days, and then another day for the 4th of July itself.  Then 4 days each for Memorial Day Weekend and Labor Day weekend.  Then 18 days for the weekends in August and September as football (College and NFL) starts up and kids are going back to school so some people will be busy on the weekends with getting them ready for school and various other school activities.  The Thursday and Friday before faire doesn't count because people will be packing and heading out to the campgrounds.

Now...all I have to do is add 7 weeks (104+49 = 153), minus 14 for the weekends (-14 = 139), minus another 14 for the Thursdays and Fridays (-14 = 125)

125 days!!

If you look I said 4 days each for Memorial and Labor day...which means I'm already counting Friday thru Monday.  Now I will concede adding 2 days for the Tuesday and Wednesday surrounding 4th of July as you need a day to get ready before and a day to rest after.  So to sum up we're still taking 2 days off the count...

123!!!
