    Thanks for sharing all the pics! Looks like no one had any fun :)

    Wish I could've made it this year! You and your bride obviously did a ton of work to make this happen!

    The firewood hoarding had fun challenges, but most of the cameras were shut down during the "after hours" fun :whistle:

    Just pick a date and we'll all show up to CSS the heck out of whatever you have! But if I was you I'd request Becky (mrs. VW) and Julie (mrs. TurboDiesel). They worked circles around a lot of us!

    What another good GTG! Dennis and "The Ornery One" are outstanding hosts for savages!

    Armbru84 , chipper1 , My IS heats my home , jdude and Chvymn99 it sure was nice to meet you fellas for the first time!

    I brought it with me last year but only played a few songs. It's kinda become my AmEx card again. "Don't leave home without it." :)

    Not state workers. Pilots. The rules state, "24 hours after a drink before can you fly." Safety first! so we had to wait. It was hour 23 so we have to go get another beer.

    Julie (standing) and Becky splitting (the right way) using our splitter with a new motor so they are breaking it in. They did a fine job of it too.

    I really enjoyed the short time I was able to be there and meeting everyone. Maybe next year I can bring my son, I'm sure he would enjoy it and hopefully we can come for several days !
