I think some kind of name tag would be good. I am real slow on remembering names and even though you tell who you are in five minutes I will not remember. That is with one person, now add 20 around the campfire and I am clueless. I may check in town this morning for some of those paper stick on tags and people can use them if they like. I have a name tag from my tractor club that I think I will wear, it does not have poppop on it but maybe will make it easier for people to remember me.
I picked up 300 cheap paper stick on name tags this morning. They will be available at the Rally for those folks that would like to use them. I think it would be a great help in the name learning process to be able to see who you are each time we talk.

Reason: Update
I have a square fabricated table I can bring. Looks to be a half sheet of plywood. We can burn it Saturday night. I also have a machine at work that prints temporary name tags. I made personalized labels for all the folks I could remember and made an additional 50 that say "2009 Steel Soldiers Georgia Rally". There is space to put your name with a marker.
I just thought to call Durhamtown to check and see what meals would be available in their kitchen during the rally and they told me that lunch would be the only meal available on Thursday. On Friday, breakfast, lunch, and dinner would be available. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner would also be available on Saturday. On Sunday they have breakfast and lunch available. For more information - check their website at Bevelyn's Kitchen
Yes Amy, JW4x4 and Mike will be attending again. Both will be bunked at Mallards Nest 1 along with yours truly. Lets just hope we can generate enough fuel for JW to burn.
I have my duece bed half full of firewood. I don't know if I have room to bring the food I have promised. A lot of this wood is very seasoned and will burn very fast, I hope JW is out of magnesium so he doese'nt use up my wood so quickly.
OK guys, it's looks like I will not have the time I want to spend at the rally. So here's the question, if I just drive my M886 up after lunch on Saturday, will there be much going on Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning? I realy need a break from work and a lot BS'in.
Just so you Florida boys won't freeze, here's the weather report:
