Haspin 08, June 19-22

[Stretch44875]

What are y'all thinking?

We have May... Aberdeen may be too close for some

June... I like early June for weather.

July... HOT, but still will show up.

August... more of the same

September...May interfere with GA Rally

Who's planning to attend?

See if I can remember who came before.
How about it Chris(SS)? Make sure we plan it so you can make it. Missed ya last year!
Looks like Westech is out. Some silly excuse about joining the army.

Gimpy, Junkyard, Stan, Oilcan, Eholim, Fredradar, Maddawg, JW4x4, Hookin1, Not sure if Eddic made it out, Gilbert, Lil'john, Longhunter, Steelsoldiers, Westech. My two Buds, Dan(rainbowboxer), and beer guzzler/woman hunter Chris.

Ofivet, Kipman, and oldgrunt were talking about this year.

I know I missed some people, Guy that wasn't on the site showed up with a M35, can't remember his name, sure I missed some other ones.

RE: Set a date, Haspin 08

I submit my vote for mid to late June. Right around turn of Spring-Summer would be good.

Early June is fine too, but I'd prefer some more time to fix up some vehicles prior to coming to Haspin. That's just me, though.

RE: Set a date, Haspin 08

Junkyard wars crusher wrote in another Haspin thread:
My annual family vacation is Sat. June 28th. till Sat. July 5th. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, no Haspin during that time. Anything else is good.

Ditto on what Gimpy said. Haspin was/is THE original Steel Soldiers get together. 2008 will be the fourth year. In the past, we've had members coming from Wisconsin, Missouri, Virginia, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana (but strangely, none from Michigan, where are the wolverines?!?!?)

Even if you can't bring an MV, come anyway and hang out, . . . There are lots of empty seats!

We would prefer earlier in June, but I'm sure we might get a better turn out the 18th-21st.

 

[Oldgrunt]

Any time in June will work for me.

July and August are a bit warm. I had to schedule my time off for "08 in Oct. "07, so
my vote would be for the June 18 - 21 time frame.

 

[Stretch44875]

What specific dates could you make it Westech? Will the girlfriend shoot you if you use your leave time for Haspin? Going to have enough time to get ready?

 

[Westech]

thats about it there dude... last week in June first week in July. but Jeff's family stuff is then. I get ten days off in that time frame (have to be at the army office but I know I could get out of it Friday and the weekend no porb) I do get 30 days off a year but I dont think they will let me out that soon after training. you guys do your stuff and I will try to make it work. if I get a solid date in the next 5 days I can go in to the army and ask it off.

 

[Stretch44875]

Yea, and the second week puts it on 4th of july. Let the Poll/thread run for a couple of days, then see if 18-21 of june works for everyone, or if another date needs set.

Hey fellas, I really do appreciate you all keeping my request in mind, . . . but whatever date works best for the group is ok by me. I'm sure Westy will need a break to relax and get away from army trucks
.

 

[Westech]

I think if you dudes do early June I should be able to make it

 

[gimpyrobb]

I think this is early enough that you could give us a date to work around, ANDY!

 

[maddawg308]

June 18-21 would be perfect for me!

 

[CCATLETT1984]

anytime in june would work for me, just make the date set in the next couple of weeks so i can get the time off.

 

[Stretch44875]

Any problems with 18-21st then? Need to set it in stone.

 

[gimpyrobb]

I'm good for the 18th-21st.

 

[CCATLETT1984]

I guess its settled then
