- Down on the Farm
Fourth of July is coming up fast & the farm will be opened up once again to my jeeping buddys. We have been known to blow things up, cut things up, & to set a few things on fire. Everyone is invited. If you're new & would like to get to know some of the club members than this is a great way to do it. We live in the middle of no where & have plenty of room for tents, campers or what ever sleeping arrangements you need if you want to crash for the night. I'll be BBQing meat for everyone & providing water & sodas, but it would be nice if you guys bring sides & salads. Chips & salsa are always good. Beer never hurts either.
The party this year has a second meaning as well. This will also be the Vikings going away party. Many of you know that I'm hosting a forign exchange student this year from Norway. I met him through
& he goes by NXJ on these boards. He's been with us since August & has met many of you this year. His school year is done & his parents are here to haul him home (kicking & screaming). They will all still be here for this party so we're going to send them off with the celebration of our indipendence!!
Who's coming?
