After talking to Deuce and taking everything into consideration, we'll start cooking by one.

Had a great time today! Thanks everyone for coming out!

Trip Report: Good turnout today; 1 airboat, one party barge, 3 canoes, 14 people in our little group. Collections included 9 tires, 2 refrigerators, 2 large dock floats, 2 porcelain toilets, a toy machine gun, and somewhere between 1/2 to one dozen large trash bags of of smaller stuff. We knew we had done good when the Army Corps camp hostess wanted names and phone numbers for who was going to come get the stuff, and the city dump truck showed up, immediately got on the phone to someone back at headquarters, then loaded only 1/2 of it, and said they would need to send a truck with a trailer to get the rest on Monday. The canoes got about one half of the tires and one of the toilets, so it was clear that everybody was doing their share!

I'd like to thank Central Chapter for springing for the hot dogs, and Luke for playing chef. I think Dana got some good photos during the day, I'll come back and post a link to Facebook once those are up, and maybe move one or two over here if folks have any trouble getting to the Facebook links.

Those of you on Facebook already have access to the albums, I shared several on my timeline to make them all easier to find. Here are a few samples for those who can't get to those for viewing:
