Looks like its going to be a classic fall day, cool, but with lots of sun and only slight breezes. Bring a picnic blanket and basket lunch and enjoy the beautiful scenery down by the river.
Thank you all for your support.

We'll be there!
I apologize in advance for my edible interpretation of the Goddess of Oil.
lol not even gonna go there
Made stuff all day today. I think my "beanbag toss" game set up actually turned out kinda fun. Can't believe I; came up with the idea, designed it, cut the wood patterns, painted them, etc. in just a matter of hours. Put together baskets to be bid on, finished up the "knock em down" bottle game, the ring toss game, the hand painted Gatsby Picnic signs, etc. also today. but did have help from some of the team thank goodness. Am still wound up and know I need to go to sleep but can't lol.
Make sure that you post some pics. It'll make me feel like I was there, instead of being cooped up in my office all weekend!
Here's a few photos
It was a beautiful day for it. FMC and I had a great time and can't wait for the next one.
FMC?

She agreed to marry you? You have a terminal illness and good life insurance?
;D
That definitely helped, something else about a well rope too, but I digress...
Yeah, I'm taking a mulligan on marriage #2. No date set, we just realized we are perfect for each other and that's the direction it will head at some point.

Yeah, I was beginning to wonder if I should refer to her as your life course navigator (for non pilots, an FMC/FMS -- standing for Flight Management Computer or Flight Managment System -- is usually used in higher end planes and small jets. They are staples in commercial jets. Pretty neat. It's like a giant speak n spell on steroids).
Marriages are like making pancakes, you gotta throw the first couple out.

Usually a lot more expensive than pancakes though.

Got lucky on my first (and so far only); no kids so the break cost me about $300.

Your assets must have been worth pancakes. Either that or you got divorced somewhere besides Oklahoma.

Yup. Texas. In 1993. We did one of those 'take with you what you brought in and split the asset/debt that was common' divorce. I was just 26 and didn't have alot in the way of assets or debts at that point. I wound up paying about $800 on a joint CC account, even though it wasn't me that charged all that crap. It was a way for me to get my credit union to do an unsecured loan so I could establish credit on my own again. So 'technically', when all was told, I paid a little over a thousand. But while I was paying for my divorce, I lived with my Mother and Dad rent-free (although I helped with the utilities). So the financial burden was not much. I do realize I'm in the lucky minority. Which is why I haven't done it since. I've had two requests from relationships I've had in the past, and said 'hell no'. One of them I even told them as much going into the relationship, but she still asked. The 'M' word is a big no-no around me.
Marriage is an institution. Like prison.
I hear there was a picnic...

Scott, don't you know it's the third law of TNF that each thread cannot last more than two pages without devolving into thread drift?
Come on! Get with the program!
;D
I never knew what thread count meant on my sheets. Is more better?

Few pics from our first ever Gatsby Picnic :) Unfortunately I didn't take as many as I should have and the ones I did, I wasn't paying too much attention to the quality so many were way under or over exposed.

Nice pics, William. I really thought the games were a great touch. I'd not played badminton or croquet in ages. I really can't wait for the next one.
