August is too busy...sorry if you were planning on August.

July 26-28.

Who's in?

Family already booked their tix to CO for the same weekend.
Of course.   :-X

 :'( :'( :'(

Can't do it. SWMBO and I are booked at Acadia for our anniversary weekend.

 :'( :'(

I'm in

We'll miss you both.

Jonas...you could bring her here instead.. ;D

I booked a brewery sailing trip out of Bellingham that weekend :(

In!

Mr & Mrs Monsterlover will be there!

That is the Friday in-between my scheduled days off.  I think I heard from one of my colleagues that we can "swap" them.  If so, I might be able to take advantage of that.  Otherwise, would be pretty tough to make it this year.

Swap and come help us drink and eat to excess!

I am also booked for that weekend.    :(

You're going to have to pick up the slack for me as well...... Unless Ddan is willing.

I'm not doing two DIMBY'S...ever again. :-*

Your wife would like us... ;D

The deal is sealed / paid / done.....

And i don't want you to do two DIMBY's again.... To much confusion. I just want Kevin to pick up my slack.
 [shot]

Maybe I'll come over when Ddan does his pre- DIMBY trip. Just to get my fix..

I'm a great instigator...  or coach, depending on your perspective

I'll say a strong maybe...I need a change of scenery

It would be great to see you.

Agreed. Trailer your bike up and we can figure out why it won't start.

Looking forward to seeing you Lethe!

I might prefer to just have a weekend with no thinking

Trailer it up, we'll figure out why it won't start, you go elsewhere and don't think ;)

If you get drunk enough...

you can do whatever, and you won't remember. [thumbsup]

Lack of gasoline and a road flare?  [evil]

I remember gas but not the road flare. That must be it!

:D

We're in.  :D

:D

Soooo...

It's roughly a week away.

Is everyone that brings food bringing food?

I'm going to fire up the smoker next week for some stuff.

Would you like us to do dimby sliders again?

Well...yah.
Why wouldn't you?

Tell the boss we have mayo and mustard.

10-4

How many people are we slidering?  Approximately.

10...ish.

Is Mikey gonna show?

I'm bringing boozy steaks again

Which will be eaten...ate...ated? :P

Not sure...

Should we disturb the rock?

I sent him a message. I'm sure he'll tell me tomorrow is he's in.

I was really hoping he'd come and trailer his bike so we could turn Howie lose on it.

Maybe Mikey should upgrade to a really nice 2004 M1000S [evil]

If people want ribs I can make ribs.

The steaks will be eaten, you can do what you think is best with the boozy bit   [shot]  [beer]  [drink]

Everyone seemed to like them.

We can serve them with the brisket.

No pressure...your call.

seems a no
Mother in law and sister in law haven't been doing good lately so we've been going down there on weekends...bad timing  :(

Sorry to hear Mike.

We'll miss seeing you.

My best to all.

Maybe I'll just randomly show up on your doorstep some weekend when life gives me a breather for a moment  [laugh]

Go for it.

I've never turned anyone away. [thumbsup]

We will miss you Mike.  Hope all goes well.

I want ribs.

My wife and I, collectively, = people.

Hey there!  The boss wants to know if you have Worcestershire?

I happen to know that we do.

Then ribs you shall have.  ;D

:D

10lb brisket was smoked today.

:D

I'll be sweating beef juice by Sunday so help me God

I think I'm leaving ramps at home.  There's still a good way to load and unload right? 

I have ramps, and there's a spot that works great.

I remember it but wanted to make sure it wasn't terra formed somehow.

Not yet.

Nothings changed...don't bring that up though. I'm already in trouble. :P

That's a big 10-4

You should all review this thread... http://www.ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=40988.0

to remind yourselves why we do this.

We've had a shit ton of fun over the years. [thumbsup]

...BTW it's my anniversary tomorrow. ;D

So much fun over the years!

I really liked (no order to this list)

Burning the boat
The Painter wedding
The time a lightning strike almost killed us all
The time that guy barfed in his tent then rolled down the hill in it
The time a bunch of us crashed at the track
The time the police pulled us over and there was an expired registration ticket
The time we put duck eggs on breakfast sliders
The time I drank a bunch, *then* inhaled and couldn't stand without assistance
The time Painter almost got arrested because the fire Dept didn't like the structure fire and Painter didn't like the fire Dept
The time the bear got stuffed in a glove box only to me removed by a Toyota service tech because the fan quit working
The time lethe hit 135 on my 999 trying to reconnect with the group
Group rides
Food
Friends
Freezer pig
Zeke falling in love with bacon and basically all dimby food
The evil horse

Feel free to add your own

BEANS

Man, it has been fun, hasn't it?

The time Steve came from Australia
Carlos from Panama
Corey from...a den?  Where does he come from?
The blue 65 Daytona coupe parked on the road the day of the wedding
That one time we all got drunk

Doood!

How could you forget DIMBY cider?!?!?!?

 [beer]

A) I never said the list was complete
B) oh Jesus that was some stuff

Giant turkey dinner.

Diagnose a no start problem, but not smart enough to loan Herm my battery :-[

Most important, the people!

Oh yeah, that 40lb turkey!  [drool]

I will save for next DIMBY . . . And eat and drink . . .
Good plan?

We're on our way to our ny campground. Looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow!

Happy anniversary Nate an T.

I'll miss the crowd..... :-\

So glad I could make one of those events.    [thumbsup] [beer]


Travel safely, everyone!

Cheers to you Nate and the GLW [beer]

The Denver Post needs a prize for chronicling the foolishness

They're all gone... ;D

For those few that did join in...even made a new friend...

thanks for coming and having some fun.

Great food, good booze...although I was on good behavior...fireworks and the ever present beans that Kevin now has under his firm control.

Next year...lord willin'.

It was another great time, thanks for all the hospitality, generosity, and the opportunity to have such a meaningful cultural exchange with snack food

Was it the twinkies? ;D

Every meal we had is available as leftovers.

How does a guy decide?

One foot in front of the other, my friend. Rome wasn't built in a day ;)

Just got our campsite setup so we're halfway home.

Thanks, Mr & Mrs Painter. Thanks to everyone else too. It was great to see everyone.

I wish I lived closer.

I'm adding "That time we introduced someone to Twinkies and swiss rolls for the first time" to the list ;D

I hate missing DIMBY! I've got my 2020 calendar blocked out from late June to the end of August......

Finally you're thinking ahead :D

This foot thing isn't working. ;D

I could come back and help if you wanted.

I'm here.

My bet is Cindy isn't headed East. ;D

Yeah, definitely not [laugh]

It ain't hard to figure out. ;D

A big THANK YOU to the painters ;D

Great seeing everybody and meeting Ana!

You have leftovers?!?!?!?!?!

There would be leftovers even if you were here.

Several armies could have been fed. :P

Thanks for having us, Nate.

Looks like dimby 2019 has had it's way with my sleep schedule [laugh]

I hate when that happens. :P

It was fully worth it

Glad y'all had a good time! Who is Ana?

Ana is Dan's BFF. ;D

I'm very remiss on the details, but you'll need to live with it.

howie's cucumber salad is amazing....as is my brisket. :P

I think that brisket was likely the best brisket I've had.

Dan's booze beef was also the best so far, I think.

And them ribs...

I was sweating gravy by Sunday.

All the food was fantastic!  ummm...Twinkies :-\  I gained a bit of weight.
