    use stealth mode, in-private, or disable cookies, or some of those other tricks if you search on air b&B or vrbo for lodging, or even on google flights, otherwise once the conspiracy of internet lodging and flight bookers figure out what you're really looking for, they start jacking up the price.

    You guys who are more tech savvy might want to explain the details a little better than I did.

    For example, last week before the muletown herf, I was looking (without using stealth mode) at a house that sleeps 9 in columbia tn (thinking about renting it next year). And now that same house is featured in lots of pop-up ads all over my screen and the price is creeping up.

    Chris is in charge of my lodging accommodations please and thank you.  Brad Peter and I will figure out food/cooking.  I've got a few ideas.

    Flight's booked, getting into MKE at zero dark thirty Friday morning on June 28th. I'm going to miss the FIBS shenanigans, but look forward to seeing everyone in MKE.

    I'm taking 2 weeks off (I needs a vacation) and the Mrs is talking about driving over and doing some sight seeing along the way. Should cost about the same as flying, but it sounds like fun. Will have to keep looking at it.

    After my wife died last year, myself and 3 of my Army buddies rented a VRBO in Colorado for July 1 - 10.  It is very unlikely I'll be able to squeeze Milwaukee into the schedule, although my mind is feverishly trying to figure out a way.  Glad I made it to Mule Town, had a blast!  We'll see, but the logistics are not in my favor.   :'(

    There have some developments here at the Brickley house.  Colleen has pointed out that she will be super pregnant and does not want drunk **** in her house keeping her up the Thursday before.  I believe there is an alternative house near by that we can take over, but still working on that.  Don't worry Wayne this will not affect your plans only a larger get together.  There is also a feeding issue that we are working out.  Without Brads big ass smoker we will have two regular kettle grills, so this will put us to regular cookout items.  Open to suggestions, I can/will make 50/50 burgers and buffalo blue cheese chicken burgers, also any other combos people like.  However the entire food cost will have to be divided amongst all attendees.  I am happy to do all the food prep and cooking so no worries there, I can also put together a two day menu, but again please provide input.

    Coleen's BLT salad was really good. *hint*

    I'm happy now that I booked into MKE, I'd like to take credit for calling this one ahead of time.

    Well crap. Not going to make it this year. I went to put my days off on the calendar where all the managers write in their vacations and there's a blackout starting that weekend due to the 4th of July and inventory. No vacations may be taken. Sonofabitch.

    Dang, I'll be at Boy Scout Summer Camp with my sons or Mrs. Shrek and I would have loved to come up. Maybe next year.

    I wouldn't even invite this @MrShrek dude unless you are willing to have too much fun.

    As long as I'm not blacked out for work I might be able to make it for a day or two. I'm headed south of chicago to my Mom's place for my graduation party on the 29th but could potentially get off work on friday or sunday!

    You guys gotta figure a way to work a vherf into this so I can sorta-kinda-if-ya-squint-real-hard (like seeing Russia from Sarah's house) join in.  Flowed the on-call schedule out and, naturally, it's my turn in the barrel.  
    I'm still troubled by what I did for that Klondike bar...

    But with that hangar full of toys you could pop in, smoke a few sticks, and get back before they knew you gone.

    This is coming up, anyone got any menu ideas, or do you all just want me to do my thing?  Besides the blt salad of course.

    My vote doesn't count since I won't be there but you can't go wrong with a good piece of steak, I say this as I am finishing up a piece of grilled Tri tip cut into steaks. @Patrickbrick
