I'm down for that. It was a lot of fun last year.. especially the valve cover gasket/spark plug toss.

Me, the family and Alza Mae just might be there next year. Fingers crossed.

Been looking forward to Maupin '07 since we got home from Maupin '06. I've had the dates "pencilled" on the calendar since you clued me in when the wife and I dropped in on you a couple months ago. :)

I definitely plan on getting my groove on that fathers day weekend. We had such a great time last year it would be an effort to keep me away. Food, Music, Fishin'. What else is there. Oh yeah... Dub Love.

Yay, this year it's not the same weekend as Sisters Rodeo - if we're not moving to Pendleton that weekend, we may actually get to come.

Moving to Pendleton? Wha-wha-what?

[Emily's Owner]

Carl is working for Walla Walla/Pendleton Ford as their commercial fleet sales guy - he's already over there, I'm staying here with the kids in school until June. If things work out, we'll be a-moving....Then y'all will have to stop in if we end up out on the wheat ranch -

I think they can make beer out of wheat.

[Emily's Owner]

No wheat beer dahling, Pendleton has it's own whiskey now.

That would be the glorious Hefeweizen.
