Today is Tuesday, September 17, 2024. I expect to discover in just three days that I am at the 56th Annual Wild Game Feed in Oak Canon Park at Irvine Lake, Orange County, California. And I hope to see you there, providing you were fortunate enough to obtain a ticket before they sold out last June.
I don’t know about you, but I am both ready and completely
unprepared for Friday to get here. As you
may know, I start my year the first Saturday after the end of the Feed each
year. In this way I end each year at the
greatest event in the world (my opinion, but I know I share that opinion with
many other guys). And I can start my new
year with great memories of the previous year.
So just to let you know, today and tomorrow will be the last
days I will be in contact with the world until after the Feed. As a member of the organization, I will be
leaving for Irvine Lake on Thursday morning to help with the setup, and, since
the cell phone reception there is basically non-existent, I will not bother
with carrying around my phone.
I am so ready for this.
Especially since, due to health issues and barring some miracle, this
will most likely be my last Feed. Many
of you know I have Parkinson’s Disease, as well as a few other problems. This last year it has taken a big chunk out
of my abilities to function without a lot of help. Therefore, the probabilities of my return to
the Feed nest year are greatly diminished.
But I know the Feed ‘goes on come rain or shine.’
Enough of that. My
focus today is this coming Friday. And
we are Almost there.
See you at the Feed!
Meat and Beer!
