| Greetings!
Just in case any OFC tour attendees are hanging around Hartford, Connecticut on Saturday, mrs stonge and I would like to invite you folks to the second annual post-OFC gathering at Casa des Stonge in scenic East Hartford, CT. Weather permitting, the fare is typically hambergers and hot dogs, and soda and beer are provided (if it rains, we can always bring in a couple of party pizzas from a great place up the street lol). Plenty of jamming (got a few Hamers you can roadtest lol), billiards (on the very warped 'Sears best' table), pinball, and ping-pong (I usually have to intervene between mr keller and mr pepiak - those two play like they got their lunch money on the line). We had a great time last year and met a few new friends, and we wanted to open this year up to meet some more OFC friends. I'll be leading the parade of cars from the Ramada in Windsor about 2 pm Saturday, and maps will be provided in case you lose my slow-moving Saturn in that legendary CT traffic lol.
If you think you can make it to the party, please RSVP to stongemonataoldotcom and let me know how many will be attending (gotta figure out burgers and beers, etc)... Sorry about the last minute invite; I never get these things organized very far in advance anyhow lol...
I don't have a llama in the backyard (at least I didn't last time I checked)... |

Fly out early on Sunday and you'll make it home for Father's Day. The time change is in your favor. |

If all goes like I hope my fingers will be bleeding and I will have lost my voice by then. |

Location: Midland, MI | Stonge, I wish I were going, just so I could raid your Hamer collection (well, ok, maybe just drool on some of the cool ones that Mice_C put up on Mobster's board).
;)
EDIT: Corrected attribution of photos. Also, if you own the 'man in the moon' I want to talk to you about trading lives for a while. |

Also, if you own the 'man in the moon' I want to talk to you about trading lives for a while. mrs stonge and I have another party post-Hamer tour each year - all the toys are available for testdrives (if you get stuck out here on biz, friends are always welcome to email or call and drop by. A few folks want me to start printing invoices so they can billback their rooms at Casa des Stonge lol). If Hamer has another tour in October this year, plan to spend the extra day (there are hotels 1 mile from the house, and couches and pullouts are available as well). We're always glad to have OFC and Hamer fans drop by for burgers and beers. |

I wonder if I can take my dedicated room and bathroom off my income tax as a "business expense"?
Between case de stonge and case de Keller I can clean up LOL.
BTW there is NO truth to the rumour that Kim and I spent so much time together that we were getting ready to pick out furniture. |
