I’ll try to make it. Even so, if I did manage to make it, I couldn’t stay long.
Ok, that was too nice for me to make a crack about…[sub]Well, that and I haven’t been able to come up with one yet :p[/sub]
Hope you can make it, Rysdad 
::still crossing her fingers for Rysdad::
Just so you know, I make the BEST peanut butter/chocolate chip cookies EVER. So you’ll be seriously missing out if you don’t show. Unless you don’t like peanut butter/chocolate chip cookies. If that’s the case, you are not human and I fear you. 
Really hope you can make it.
Thanks for eating my chili, guys
And lno…WHAT did you do with that cow?
Damn. Left too early again.
Thanks for the farm tour, chique. It was fun. Ryan liked it, too (after he got over his city-kid squeamishness).
Grampa’s a neat feller, too.
[sub]And, keep me in mind if a couple of acres on the Elk River open up.[/sub]
Until the next MinnDope,
Rys
All I know is that I did SOMETHING with that cow, but I have no recollection of it. Apparently I was drinking heavily.
And Rysdad? You have no idea how cool Grampa is. You should have seen him drive up while we were talking about the $175,000 tractor. It made me sigh happily and profess my love for rural Minnesota.
And I actually showed up! Woo!
Mmm… Chili.
Y’know, lno damn near made my crush list until that whole thing with the cow.
It was a CALF man! SICK!
[sub]Psst… lno? I’ll roll around in the hay again with you any day.[/sub]
We had a great time, and Zac enjoyed making a fort in the hay stacks with Ryan.
I like Grampa too, and enjoyed seeing everyone again, and meeting ethilrist.
I was sorry that Sharon got lost and got stuck with three pints of potato salad. We’ll have to be sure to show her the way to the next one.

Thanks for hosting, Chique! I finally got to meet some dopers! Woohoo!
Definitely a cool place for kids, too. Looks like they had a great time playing with the tractors and haybales, and Zack even got to have a Very Educational Moment when Mr. Bull showed up and visited with the cows for a while…
You know, I wasn’t gonna mention that, but now the cats out of the bag.
All I know is that Silver Fire had hay on her back, and lno was wearing a big 
Then the calf thing,…cradle robber.
[sub]somebody musta got some inspiration from MA Bull[/sub]
chique, thanks for being a great host, and for some good chile. Grampa is a cool dude, can’t forget as he drove up in the pick-up, he waves to us with his can of…uh…coffee.

The preceeding smartass remark should read:

I also enjoyed meeting Silver Fire. I had forgotten that this was the first time I actually met her, because it seems like we have met before. Didn’t mean to leave you out.
Did I ever mention that one of my greatest internet regrets was not knowing about the SDMB when I actually lived in the Cities? 
Or anywhere there are actually more than three Dopers within a twelve-county area, anyway…

So how far do you live from us now?
Pennsylvania. Central Pennsylvania, to be precise, where the DoperMap says there are about three of us between Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.
I used to live in Minneapolis, for about two years. This was in 95-97. I had WebTV, but didn’t discover the Wonderful World of Unca Cecil until I’d been back here for a year.
Ah, well…one of these days…
