Again, thank you stephpd for hosting!!! (and for having a pool).
It may be the largest so far. I haven't done a total yet but it will be around 20-30 people.
Fair warning!!! Temp looks to be around 90 and no chance of rain all day! The pool and most of the seating will be in the sun. For you really white folks I'd suggest SPF 45, bring your own. Don't want everyone getting burnt.
There is one table with an umbrella but the two picnic tables are the exact same ones as found in the city parks. I used them as a template when I worked in that department. Heavy,study and built for abuse.
I talked to Sprat and I'll be having a reloading and casting demo sometime during the day. I didn't want to step on his toes but to show off my new Hornady LNL. Jack will be assisting and able to answer all questions. This demo is to show a different model of press then the one Jack will be using at his party.
And a reminder to all. I have two big dogs. Siberian Husky thats one of the most beautiful Huskies I've ever seen. Very friendly and he will want to lick your face. He also doesn't do any stupid dog tricks except begging for food. Tell him NO or give him some meat, it's up to you. The Lab/Pit mix is the watch dog. She'll probably bark at you when you first come in but will warm up to everyone quickly and want to play ball. She has a bad leg and it hurts her. Hopefully she won't go all OCD and really injure it more. So take it easy on her. She can sit and just catch the ball. The running takes it's toll on her but that's how she shows affection.And she decides who she'll play with, not you.
And the 4 or 6 cats will be around. I don't know what to expect from them. They'll probably stay out of you way but who knows.
I also have a handgun safe in the garage for those that want to swim. It should hold all the guns.
Bring swim wear! I'll be hot and the pool really helps.
Some folks will also be getting here late and that's OK. Party will be going for quite some time. Noise will have to be lowered after 9pm or moved inside.
Looks like fun for all!
Thanks,
Steve

What a shame that we have the two major political parties that believe the former.
I have a craving for potato salad!
