Uglysquirrel wrote:The squirrel has been living in a cabin in Bolton, CT for the last couple years, I asked him to come with me for our special event. Squirrels are not endangered species as farrrr as I knowwwww

I was thinking more like a guy and a squirrel walk into a bar.................

So there's this guy, he walks into a bar with a squirrel and says to the waitress, "

"Do you serve squirrels in here?"...The waitress replies:

Looks like everyone had a Grand Time!!!
The Westerners had to work and prep for a trip to the New Hope Pa area leaving shortly.
Not a coal trip
Next time! Coal
Next time Meet & Greet
Thumbs up to the shutter bugs!
We all love pic's.

"Yeah,but only if he shaves and puts on a tie ! " It seems the beer foam on the fur gave impressions of a rabies outbreak and we have to think about what the other Customers' might think. The tie gives the squirrel some validity in the business world and he may appear as a Yuengling Beer Distributor looking to outfit the Wood and Beer place with a new tap system!...I'm just sayin'.....

new to posting pics -------hope this works.

Where is the next location for a meet and greet ?

je nais se pas

How about tomorrow? We can all meet somewhere everyday. Eat, Drink and be Merry!

So this guy walks into a restaurant with an stuffed squirrel with beedie eyes and he asks the waitress, "Mam, .....

"Mam,you do understand that the squirrels' money's no good in here tonight,right ?"....Waitress looks the squirrel up and down,winces,and asks:"He's 21,right?"...Ugly replies:"Yup".....Waitress says:"Tell him to brush his teeth,shave and put a tie on,then he can come into the Coal Meet-N-Greet".....The End

Please consider these informal meeting minutes of the 1st CT Coal Meet n' Great.

Attendees:

*CoaledSweat, our esteemed CT Moderator
* Spiker, from the Ocean State
* Easy Ray, our "storyteller" and photographer
* Swifty, EasyRay's coal buring cohort who hates computers
*Jim D, from Tauton with his Boiler and family
* Ray, a member of JimD's family
*Adam, JimD's grandson
*Blackrock,from the shore, and our other photographer
*Uglysquirrel

JimD arrived around 11:40 am with a trailer & proceeded to load the boiler with rice, some of it a bit frozen since it was -4 the night before. His family jumped into action, doing this and that to start the stove. It was clearly evident that Jimd trained them well. There was a demonstration of a built in CO feature that shut off power if there was a CO alarm. Regarding my pesky questions on certification for a building dept, Ray indicated that the boiler has all the required certifications (UL was one of several) and I believe a pressure vessel certification that I just cannot remember. He may want to post these on his website whose internet location was posted a few days ago in this topic. Soon the boiler's radiator started to give off heat which Coaled Sweat tended to take command of by being in the trailer most of the time. Most of the time the attendees pretty much stood in the parking lot and shot the For the benefit of Ugly, we all had name tags. Easy Ray and Blackrock took pictures.

At 1 pm we retired to the Wood n' Tap, our special room reserved ( Management knew who WE were) . Drinks were raised (mostly pepsi's ) to celebrate the 1st Meeting, Jimd was presented with one of Freddy's (Maine) Coal bumper stickers for travelling the greatest distance (~130 miles) to the 'greet. Another sticker was randomly drawn by an understanding waitress which Adam won.

Not much more to say but there were a lot of laughs and connections made beyond electronic media.

On behalf of all of us there, we would really like to thank Jimd for the hospitality offered, we really appreciated his presence & his quiet demeanor to make this an (especially) special event of the CT Forum.

Everything pretty much ended at 3 or so, the time went so fast.

And least not we forget that in due time there will likely be the 2nd CT Meet and Greet.

Also, thanks to the Mayor of the Forum for simply making this forum possible.

Others welcome to chime in if I missed anything, etc.

If you are going to do one of these meet and greets in the future, a consideration should be given to visit Frank Pepe's on Buckland Hills Drive in Manchester. After all, they cook with anthracite!

That's a good choice CTB! Very good pie!
