    Somebody tell me where I can get another one of those little "giveaway" knife, screwdriver, etc. thingys that were given away to everybody at the drawing. I'm going to send mine to my 10 yr. old grandson but, of course, I can't do that without sending one to his younger brother (age 8). So I need to know where to get another one. Any help would be appreciated.
    I ended up with a few extras if you want them too. Let me know.

    Be warned though. The package will contain CA stickers and coozies plus whatever other extra stuff I always haul around.

    If you weren't 150 miles out of the way........

    You gonna wear that excuse out?:cool:.

    BTW: Thanks again for the generous offer, and to Darkpriest667 for having the guts to pick up the slack when you got skeered.:laughing:

    It was a real pleasure to meet you and all of the gang.

    Suggestion for next year: a locker to store our straight jackets.

    I was disappointed, those little blades can't cut butter! JK.

    Those are really cool. At first, I was going to say I didn't need one because my G.I. Joe is now wearing pink....but they double as keychains.

    BTW: I hope someone made good use of the 5lbs. of potato salad I left there.

    My small contribution to the meet...( other than my charming personality, LOL). I left it there on purpose , as it's just me here. I could have brought it back, and given it to some neighbors, but, although I could have eaten it, the stuff I make for me is easier to eat.

    So, enjoy!!! I've never tried those paticular ones, so let me know if they were any good. Next meet, I'll be bringing something good, instead of something from Albertsons.

    They have a bad habit of grabbing something and running off with it to their stash (wherever that may be).

    Don't want potato salad in that mess. Chips, crackers, puffcorn, ect, I can live with. They'd probably eat it, so, in about a year, it would be all gone.LOL.

    That made me think of Sammy. He would try anything once. He would take a fish plate, eat all the tartar sauce and leave the fish.

    The folks that can't or don't come, can't believe what they are missing! :banana:

    I came on time. Felt kind of left out. Signed in got my wrist band. Introduced myself to a few people but felt left alone there. Spoke with the guy and his wife in the food trailer for a little while and the people in the office. After a hour or two I left and came back home. Maybe it was just me. Should be someone kind of assigned to bring in new people to the group. Maybe next time.

    New guy needs to introduce himself to everyone he sees. I tried not to miss anyone.

    Did you shoot anything? Look at any guns?

    Most folks were busy shooting early because of the threat of bad weather rolling in. The weather , nice as it actually turned out, threw off the pace of a relaxed meet and greet.

    Probably more than a couple showed up AFTER you left. If you felt " left out", maybe it's because you "left out" early, and didn't put much effort in.

    Some things in this life require effort to get results. BTW, the people in the office and the food truck weren't even members AFIK.

    But next time, we need name tags.

    I’m sorry that’s how your experience was, and you provided great feedback.

    It can be a little daunting to walk up to a group of strangers and wonder if they’re the group your looking for.

    These was the first reunion for me, too. I’m just used to having to barge in and introduce myself, so I don’t have a problem with that.

    Sounds like there might be a desire for TGTs own version of Julie the Cruise Director for first timers.

    I hate that you felt left out.
    I assure you, it wasn't done purposely.
    Please come to the next one, find the people sitting in chairs, not really shooting. That's us.
    I don't normally arrive till after 10.
