Thread: Pre-Bash Breakfast @ Ed Allen's

Shoer had mentioned meeting @ EA's for breakfast before we start. Who is interested? Daddyo and I will be there.

Shoer,
Is that still a go? What time do they open?

I'd like to come too. I'll see if I can work it out.

What time does the Bash start? What time is Breakfast?

I pity the fool who launches his boat second. After the first one pulls out, the ramp should be nice and icy.

Dayton

I will make double-certain about operating hrs today. Yeah, I'm still in, I think I can speak for Berd too, long as he has washed the dishes and got plenty of AAs freshly charged and with a decent expiration date stocked I see no reason his ol lady wont let him take off a little early. I have no pull or aint "connected" in any way with Ed Allens just so no one takes me wrong and thinks I gotta head fulla steam but I do know George that owns the place and am quite sure and can verify if need be that he would give his ol lady an early send-off present a little earlier than whatever normal is in his hizzle and tell git on down there and cook us up some grub. Ya know, if there was gonna be 5-6-7 of us or whatever. fishdoc and wvspeculator oughta be up for it unless Dayton cons em into having a breakfast burro at McD's. mikeb should be automatic since he does not yet know that call girls in Chester do not provide breakfast cooked & served as part of their Incoming Fisherman Package. We really on need C-Rex really, he can eat enuf for 3 large grown men and a small slant-eyed Asian kid, and do it in record time. No wonder Boudreaux assaults him every single time he sets foot in my hizzle- he is not only done eating before my fork has any slobber on it but has licked his plate clean and buffed it dry on his pants leg, asking if my ol lady will make him a few more biskits and whats the egg & sausage tally like in my fridge. Sumbeech even pointed out that skillit was still hot, trying to play that power usage/Dominion Power bill ploy on me. I know. I thought it was just a tad much and way below the belt myself. Squirrely and Dr Hook are sposed to be comin too, last time I checked they both ate. Maybe the good Speckle will finally spill the beans and answer my question about female Oriental anatomy. I aint come up with the coin to go over there myself and see if what I've heard is true and what all the hub-bub is about. With my luck I'd just squint my eyes, approach from an off-course angle, and fall outta bed with a flat-eyed girl laughin all over me.
I aint cookin fer ya all, doan ax. I am secure enuf in my own sexuality to say right here and right now I dont want all you hooligans eatin up all my food and trashin my bathroom. The food I dont care about but that Ferguson in the little room is MINE and the ol lady can consider herself lucky I allow her tainting privaledges. If it were up to me I would have her out back on top of a 5 gal pail and hope she saved the newspaper and keep the whole Ferguson all to myself. You all know what I'm talkin about and just goes to show ya that greed IS acceptable under certain conditions.
Dayton I do know this. If you can keep yur ride from duckin into McDs on the way, they have a baby seat and/or high chair at the Lakeside so you aint gotta dine at ground level.

wvspec an I are stayin there so we'll be eatin breakfast with y'all. time?

I like food. I'll probably launch there anyway.
time²?

I was out wurkin and not out that way but have a message on Georges voice mail. I have to go back out again later so if I aint heard anything back I will just drive out there cuz I dont want to see that the restaraunt open time was wrong and the cheer and glee ya all would feel for me if we all got there at 7 A.M., which is what I THINK it is and then end up it aint till 8:00, and not only chow plans scrapped but launch timing and all that gittin messed around with cuz of it. Tapster brought a good question about meeting. Heres the skinny Ed Allens launch is where the restaraunt is and access to Chick LAKE. Rockahock is where ya ramp into the RIVER. Those 2 places are maybe a mile
drive from each other an a 4-5 minute drive from each other. The small boat pass on Walkers Dam is damaged from the dam cracking and closed off to traffic. If yur fishin lake and gonna switch to river or vice-versa its that 4-5 minute drive and a seperate ramp fee at both. I dont think we were taking into consideration that making this bash inclusive of both lake & river, the group gets split up this being new territory for us deciding leaves in question where to meet, where weigh-in will be, etc. Some of us are gonna have to pack up from one place and go to the other at the end so we can all be together. So we got a couple last minute things to hammer out. This is just my take on it but even though this system kinda snuck up on us I would not be for changing anything at this point. As it is we have a cpl things in tha air and dont need another by switching anything. Also, some no doubt have their eye on the river and some on the lake. And I realize nobody has mentioned changing anything at all but when it comes right down the nitty gritty the only way to keep the group together and avoid this is to go with 1 or the other. If this turns out to be a bad system no matter how we resolve weigh-in and where it will be, well how bad can it be and we can always say well we wont do that again. Again, just my .02 and I am just another brick in the wall. Suggestions, options, highly encouraged. If SH wasnt busy folding bath towels he could take a look in the by-laws and see if anything of this nature is mentioned on the parched, ancient manuscript that has been passed down from our forefathers.

I suggest we keep an earlt starting time in all fairness to them and anyone coming that does not intend to do breakfast, for those of us going to eat well big deal. Anyone has the the option to shove off at 7 AM if they want and if indeed the restaurant opens at 7,
I will just consider that I am taking up an hr of my bash fishing hours bsing with others at breakfast and I get outta there at 8 even and dont git the warer till 8:20 just for sake of saying it, aint gonna rock my world very much. And that being said, again those who wanna skip breakfast and fish right away are calculated for and extended that courtesy if the have come a far piece or for whatever reason. If weigh-in is 3ish that still puts me out on the water fishin for atleast 6-1/2 hrs with and I have already figgered in 1-1/2 hrs spent dining. That is plenty long enuf to be out for me and if I am gonna break thru and finally win one allows for plenty of time to fish for the big Kahuna.

Again, I aint trying to run nuthin just thinkin out loud and seeing what feedback is and what works best for the most amount of attendees.

Well, now that that's settled..........

Lakeside Restarant will open at 0700 hrs Sat. fer yer dining convenience.

Spent the last 3 hrs. researching said dilemma and find the ancient scrolls srangely silent.
Since it appears somebody died and put Dayton in charge, let's just do it the way he said.
