Well the title says it all!! Mindy and I are having a july 4th party. I leave on Sat. morning to head to Ohio, So everyone is welcome, as usual. You know whats happening so just come and party. It will be my last night here!!
WoWsErS!!!!!.... :o :P
Your house is just not gonna be the same without you [roll]
I'll be there--what do you need us to bring?
I should be able to make it IF I don't have to work that day...
[bang]
I'm held captive once again in Rockwall on the 4th. :P All of Jen's friends moved to Rockwall a few years ago and I swear we spend half our damn time out there. It sucks. Heck, even Colin's Dad is out there so half the stuff we do with Colin is also in Rockwall. Everyone wants us to move out there... no f#@king way! You wanna see me, then move to Dallas! :P OK, end of Rockwall rant! Wish like I hell I could make this instead. :P At least I'd be with some of my friends. [moto] [drink]
Did I use the :P enough in that post?? [cheeky]
Fastwin, dude... :P
Hey LYDBLQ- The better half & I will be in attendance [thumbsup]
(Where's that damn pool-volleyball smiley when you really need it :P )
i'll be there! [popcorn]
Mindy told me (ha, thats funny) to coordinate the food everyone is bringing. So, we will do the meat. Tommy and Bonnie will bring the mashed potatoes, George and family ????, Scott and Steph ??? Rich we can run to the store when you get here thursday. (hows the burn?)
Mindy said someone bring a watermelon (she'll cut it up) and or some fruit.
Beer or your drink of choice

burn? nah...i'm cool man...i told you guys, you all worry too much. i'm fine, seriously... you can joke all you want to about the white guy that turned red, but i've turned red more times than i could ever count, and this is a normal weekend in the sun for me. no pain at all [thumbsup]
i'll be there thursday night, btw....and by night, i mean however long it takes me to get there after getting off of work at 4pm. so, we may need to make a beer run!
[drink] [beer] [leo] [puke] [wine] 8) [coffee]
hey, and from what i hear we can't rely on tommy OR bonnie for the mashed potatoes...so i can bring that if need be man, seriously. we need some taters up in there!
Whatever you want to to is cool with us!! There is still some beer here, but we can do a run after the traffic dies down!!

Duke/pod: One way or the other (If I'm able to make it) I'll bring the pod.
Hopefully it will be some shade of yellow...
Side dish: Ribs? OK. Unless you want something different?
Lemme know...
Today I'll try to find out the likelihood of my attendance.
Big day today may clutter a good answer...
Today "
Miller Brewing Co." + "
Molson Coors Brewing Co." = "
MillerCoors LLC"!!! [beer]

Yeah and twin Solex Beers have to be completely balanced - together, at the same time - or you won't get a buzz at all. Of course the most powerful buzz I ever got was from a Weber Side Draught Beer [evil]

I know rich and conner are coming over to spend the night (thursday), cory will be here early so what time does everyone think we should eat? I will be eating all day, trying to get fatter than I already am. But I will be working it off with some volleyball.

Hey, Alan, I'd request breakfast in bed courtesy of McKraut since he'll be up so early...just sayin' ;)
hey dude...i have no problems making breakfast whatsoever. i just need instructions printed out or something, and i'll take it from there.
you have to get out of bed to eat it, though.

here's hoping i don't wake up to that.
I may blow off my friend's BBQ in Lewisville and see the LYDBLQ off to Ohio.
I'll bring something to add to menu
Man, I'd love to come, but I'll be checking out Monty Python's "Spamalot" in bloody London, England that evening.
Are you leaving for good?

Yes, unless my 2 friends at millercoors can help me out (hint, hint jason and rich)
forecast for the weekend looks awesome! [thumbsup]
now if i could just stop thinking about food and beer for a little while and concentrate...
Well its already 2:30, so leave early, pick up conner and head this way to beat the traffic!!! [thumbsup] ;D
yeah...the traffic is going to be killer after work...30 sucks on normal rush hours as it is.
Take the 12 loop south to 408 then to 20 west. Should be alot less traffic!
will do man. woodall rogers is starting to get somewhat clogged going westbound right now, but 30 is still looking good (i can see both from where i sit). so hopefully it won't be all that bad of a drive...accidents pending, of course (there's always *someone*). i'll take the 12 to the 408 - 20...i'll stop off for stuff at albertson's by your place, too...so just give me a ring if you think of anything you're needing from the store.
OK, so I got permission from the wifey to go with my son (Nicholas, 5) to the week long party [clap]. I'll obviously be caging it if I do go. I have a case of beer and some rum. We won't be able to stay too long since my wife has plans for us at 4pm. But I just wanted to bid LYD a safe trip up North.
So, Where does LYD live and how do I get there? ;D

Barry I sent you a PM with address, phone number and directions! [thumbsup]
Oh and by the way, cory and rich/connor are here and the party is starting!! [thumbsup]

Is that fat free sour cream I see? What's up with that lame, weak game? Trying to live longer or what? If you ride motorcycles, drink and smoke cigars that shit isn't going to help one bit.

Yea whats up with that fat free shit!! Are you trying to say that i'm fat or something?
Man, I really wish I could make this :-[
I'm getting back in town at 5-something-pm. If it was just me, I'd head over straight from the airport, but the wife would probably prefer I come home and say hi.
How late is the party going on? Sure would be good to see you before you head out, LYD.
I would be willing to bet the party will be going somewhat past 5:00PM ;D
hhmmmmm....

Leaving now [thumbsup]
Nicholas and I had a great time at your place LYD! Thanks for having us over. The food was delicious...especially the ribs. [thumbsup]
Sorry we couldn't spend more time there. My wife had other plans for us.
It was a pleasure meeting all the new faces. I'm really bad at remembering names. [roll]
Best wishes up in Ohio! [moto]
Some pics from the party: http://s179.photobucket.com/albums/w308/barrysy/DMF-%20LYD%20July%204th%20party/
Who's daughter was that crawling in and out from the doggie door. That was cute! [cheeky]
Wow - what a great day! Thanks so much Mindy and Alan for having us over - I just wish the reason for the party could have been different :-[
Still cool to see everyone - friends and their families - having such a good time. Sam was not ready to go; I think he would have stayed in the pool until he grew gills [roll] Great fun.
Anyway, we had a blast!
Alan, best wishes to you and Mindy - here's hoping you've got nothing but smooth sailing from here on out [beer]
That was some serious fun. [thumbsup] I'm sore as heck from all that V-ball. Just for the record, I believe when I left, Alan's "A-team" was down 4-2 games. ;D
It's too bad Lexi had a terrible time and begged to leave.... [roll]
Again, Alan and Mindy, I hate to see you all leave, but the best of wishes to your family.
Tell Lexi that I'm mad she left without saying bye. ;)
It was a great day yesterday, that has somehow bled into today! Alan, Rich, and I got to take a ride in Jason's plane today! I'm still waiting for Rich to get back from his sorte. After this some food, a nap, and then hopefully bike shopping.
OMG!!!!!!!!
Once again, proof beyond our doubt, LSD are simply the best.
The day could not have been better...
HUGE thanks to Mindy for putting up with all our shenanigans [thumbsup]
I can't believe she let us trash her house like that just days before it goes on the market [cheeky]
Thanks to everyone who brought food (those spicy ribs were SPICY!)
It's really hard to believe we're losing BLQ. Ohio is not worthy, & it's a big loss for Texas :P
Alan & Mindy- y'all are the best. Safe travels, & hurry back. Always room at the WareHome anytime you're in town [thumbsup]
Yesterday was a great day!! and now I am packing waiting for Nora to wake up so I get her ready. I really want to say thanks to EVERYONEfor bring all the food and for making my last day here a really great one!!
THANKS EVERYONE
Reading all of this just pisses me off that I too wasn't there. >:( Had a full plate starting with Andre's lunch on Thursday with the crew (lucky I got to make that...) more stuff in the afternoon then fireworks/Kaboomtown in Addison with Jen's drunk/jerk brother and his non drunk/non jerk wife who invited themselves along! Would have liked to have stuck a roman candle up his a##! ... excuse me, I digress. :P
Then Lakewood neighborhood parade Friday AM with Colin and fellow Scouts marching, cookout lunch and swim at the Knights of Columbus pool all afternoon (thank goodness the trek to Rockwall was cancelled!) then dinner and a movie at the mall last night. All very good and entertaining but it deprived me of hanging with Alan, Mindy and the mob once again. Thought about the good quality BS, great food and drink and general cavorting that I was missing out on. Would have loved to have been there. That would have made it a great 4th!!!
Alan, sorry I didn't get to say goodbye in person... and to Mindy and meet Nora. At least I got to ride with you one last time on the Muenster run! [thumbsup] Good luck to you on the new job in Ohio, hope the move and transition goes even better than expected. Again, if there is anything you or Mindy need that I (or the group) can help with don't ever let the long distance get in the way of asking. It's the least I can do to offer. I mean it.
Please stay in touch via the board. You've got my phone numbers, call or email when you get a permanent address and phone number. Will seriuosly miss you bro', expect to hear your ears burning on a regular basis! [laugh] Again, stuff in yellow will never be the same after your gone! At least the magical little yellow duck has once again returned to it's rightful owner and the universe is now back in alignment and the Ducati Gods have been appeased! Take care, ride safe and continue having fun! ;D
Great party! We showed up late and missed the vball championship but still plenty of people there and tons of yummy food.
Glad I got to see Alan before he takes off. We'll sure miss you dude! Best of luck up north and hope you can return for a visit sometime. Y'all are definitely welcome to stay at our place if you need a temporary home.
thanks again alan and mindy for everything...i can't say thanks enough, that was a great time for real. it's been a while since i was able to start drinking at 7am and hang all day and into the night. :) great people, awesome food (i still have lots of leftovers in the fridge [thumbsup]), and great volleyball. maybe by the time you're able to make a trip back to dallas, i'll have developed some more net skills... i need to work on my serve though; gotta get that "weak-serve" down.
really sorry to see you go, man; i've had a great time hanging out with you, and i know everyone else has, too. hope you'll be able to stop on in sometime in the near future [thumbsup]
