    Here is a map. I put my house as the red dot so everyone had a better idea of where it is at.

    Remember ladies and gents, if you have a sharp knife and a cutting board, please bring it if you can as it will help in cutting up all the wonderful items that need sliced and diced.

    +1 to that, I have a food processor plus the Club's processor, buckets, rags, bags, gloves, etc - pretty much what is needed is just sharp, very very sharp knives and cutting boards. If anyone has a knife sharpener that would be nice. Mainly for the squid and octopus which are very hard to chop up without a razor sharp knife.

    Dang.... I saw Terris response in my email basket but didn't check it out on the forum until this evening and thus only now saw the discussion about a change in start time...... I'm going to try and make it for awhile in the morning. :mad:

    See everyone tomorrow!!

    FYI the prices we got this time around were pretty good - shrimp price came way down (from $7+/lb to $5/lb)

    it looks like $10/bag of you are there and $12-$13/bag if not (depends on the final batch size and how many are left over)

    Adding all of these in puts us at 80 bags, so we should be able to accommodate everyone

    Not going to make it today. On call today and diesels don't play well in the cold. Hopefully everything stays running, but we'll see.
    I'll still buy a bag or two if they can be held somehow.
    Thanks

    Got there a little late and all the real work was done - I'll have to try and time the next one like that! LOL
    Thanks to Zoobie for putting this on at his place. Also thanks to all who showed up and did what was needed to get things done.
    It's great to reunite with other club members and to meet those I have not met before.
