    I can get my hands on some throwing axes from the Allen Foundry or Slasinski Foundry or Cold Steel at Wholesale. I can get some Cold Steel True Flight throwing knives, too. I thought we could have some fun throwing stuff. I've never done it and if the rest of you are green at it then it might be worth a laugh and some prizes for "Best Hit on a Pickup Truck", "Closest to the Slow Guy" kind of things.

    If some of you KNOW how to throw then maybe you could give some lessons.

    Thoughts?

    I picture guys trying to 'splain holes in things when they get home. The truck bed? The kayak? The left tire? Well, that's a long story. Ya see.......

    Throwing like a girl is dangerous, I remember getting hit with some shoes my mom would throw.... glad nobody ever gave her an axe.

    A question...

    Why the month of August? It'll be HOT.

    Just sit and sweat kind of hot. Folks will be grumpy because they're hot. You can't get to sleep because your hot.

    Did I mention HOT?

    Personally I like the fall. October is just about perfect. A cool breeze to rustle the changing leaves and you can enjoy an evening fire before going to sleep.

    Well.....since we'll be in a state park and probibly can't get away with blowin' stuff up I guess throwin' sharp stuff is the (almost) next best thing.

    A few more reasons for having it in the fall:
    *Gas will be cheaper.
    *Airlines usually have a ticket sale in the fall .
    *The parks are not as crowded.

    Nobody said there wouldn't be a get together in the fall. Who knows, this could become a regular event. Another reason to hold the Hoosier Survival Jamboree of August in August is, well, we'd have to change the letterhead and envelopes to sat October. Printing costs being what they are and all it's probably best to have the August Jamboree in August.

    Thats right. Just don't come cryin to me all stinky and flies all over you, your cake and watermellon.

    August flies are like none other in the world. Small, fast and fearless, they can sense the humidity on your body some ten miles away. Or at least that's how it seems. One minute you're standing there and the next thing you know there's a fly trying to drink from your eyeball and another trying to suck off the moisture from your lower lip. It's like they just materialize out of nowhere. Bloody annoying, too.

    At the beginning of the thread we tossed out what folks wanted to do and August was agreed to. Besides, it will only be hot where the temperature is real high.

    I'm not trying to rain on your parade. Did I mention big thunderstorms with hail and tornadoes are the norm for that time of year and region?

    It's just that August is a busy time for me. I'll have to catch another jamboree.

    I needed a door prize too!

    Rebel - as to the flies - I'll bring the big bug truck with the spray rig in it.
