Texas Beekeeping Convention

[Hambone]

I got an email back today. She sent me an itemized time sheet and registration form. She said she will be adding it to the website soon. It’s a .pdf so I don’t know how to post it here. For anyone that wants it, send me an email and I will forward it to you. derekbarton@sbcgloabl.net

This would be a loooooooong drive with a trailer.....

[Hambone]

It wouldn't be if you would ship me 4-10 of your most popular products. I (the company I work for) has 10K + of warehouse space connected to our building. Thats where I keep most of my surplus. Dock high loading and unloading to. I think you could push more product here in the south if you wanted to warehouse some down here. PM me.

ps. I want some suspenders included in the deal.

Thanks for the info Derek. Now I think I'd prefer to go Friday. We'll see.

Derek, I might take a drive down there and show off the suits and jackets.

Chances are slim that I make it. I didn't realize it at first. But it is the first weekend of deer season. It's going to be tuff to pull me away from that. Plus the topics and speaker line up it not one to make me drop everthing and go. There is a 5% chance I make it.

Side note. There is a 99% chance I make it to the Buzz next year!

2nd side. If you do go. and plan on staying over Saturday night. I will come back from the deer lease and meet you in Ennis for drinks and dinner. You can stay at a nice motel in Ennis. Plus I can send some quality Klobase and pork back with you to share with Neil.

I was planning on going until I looked at the line-up. Looks weak...

Derek, my friend, you are so right! Whose dim witted idea was it to hold a bee convention the 1st weekend of deer season? Let's put you in charge, so we can avoid these silly conflicts!

I'm just booked up with school and church events.

On a side note . . .

I am reliably informed by the local Bohemian poplulation that it's spelled "Kielbase". They exist almost entirely on Pigs In A Blanket, sausage, sauerkraut, Frito Pie, Kolaches, and Shiner Bock

There are two types of Czechs, Bohemians and Moravians. (I think) The ones around here are the Moravians. Again (I think) and they don't like being called Bohemians and they spell it Klobase. See the menu below.

On a side note. The meeting is the 2nd weekend of deer season. I had my timing wrong. Which is just as bad. 2nd weekend is pretty much full buck rut.

Ah, bohemians and moravians. I have heard the discussion, but not followed it. I * think * one tends to Protestant and one tends to Catholic, but that'a a guess. Being 1/2 Pole and 1/2 red-headed Irish, I've got stubborn covered coming and going . . .

The bucks have been awfully bold around here lately. I have a 10 pointer that casually crosses my open pasture and walks along the road. I wouldn't be that brave if I were him . . .

Happy hunting!
