I just send an e-mail to everyone on the list. If you do not get one and are intersted let me know, or if you’re not intersted let me know that too. What better way to spend the day then running in the woods, getting dirty and shooting your SDMB buddies? 😃 ---

Hey guys, Thought I’d give this a bump, just to make sure we’re all still on- ---

I don’t think that I’m going to be able to make it. I’ll keep an eye out for future outings, though. ---

Well, poop. Both **Bluesman** and I are both going to be slaving away for the man that day, so we are out. We’ll also watch eagerly for any other pseudo-violent get togthers. ---

Unfortunately this weekend is bad for me, but I’d love to go another time if you folks decide to do this again. 🙂 –IDB ---

Hmm… is anybody left? I’m still in if it’s still on. ---

Yes at least I am going, that is unless it is raining in the morning. There is also my brother going, my sister (age 13), and probably one friend of mine. For anyone who’s planning on showing up, you will need to be there by 9:30. To find me look for the grey Escort wagon or the tall guy with long hair. Bring anyone else you want, the more the better. ---

I still plan on making it, although I’ll be a little groggy at that hour of the morning. Both of my girlfriends have to work, so I doubt I can get then to come play with us. If everyone bails out due to weather, please post something in here or email me. I’d hate to drive all that way when I could be snug in my bed sleeping. ---

If anyone wants they can shoot me an e-mail with their phone number and I can call if we change. I’m pretty sure I’m gonna be there, they are calling for some chance of thunder showers. Don’t use the e-mail listed use ldrbryan at [yahoo.com](http://yahoo.com), but please do it before 11am today because I will not have access to the internet after that. ---

I hate to be a spoilsport, but I’m not so sure I’m going to make it. I’m a little angry with the weatherpersons in the DC area right about now, and I could really use the extra sleep. ---

I’m going to lamely join **TeleTronOne** and duck out at the last moment. Leesburg is on the outside edge of places it’s worth driving to ass-early in the morning when there’s a good chance of getting thundered and lightinged on…count me in for next time when it’s pretty out! ---

I’m checking out the local radar and it looks like a large chunk of “ick” is heading for Leesburg. [Weather.com](http://Weather.com) has some blurb about severe weather. I don’t mind cold and I don’t mind wet. But I draw the line at cold and wet. I hope you guys don’t mind if I stay home and bond with my computer. He misses me. ---

Wimps, yeah it rained for the first few minutes that I was there but that was it. All in all it was a nice day. We will have to try this another time I guess. ---

Well unless my brother or sis is on here then it was just me. There were a lot of people but no one else tried to find me. Twas a lot of fun to watch my little sister get shot, I just wish I had a chance to do it myself. 😃 We will have to try again sometime, but right now I have too much to do with me going to Ireland etc to try and do it again until late May.
