Training Day

gittrdonebritts · Post by **gittrdonebritts** » Sun Apr 24, 2011 8:00 pm

The first thread was getting crowded so......

Here is the Latest (hopefully final) update on the 30th we will be having 2 meeting times at Ezzy's place the first is 9 AM or after for all who are close and the second will be at 12 PM or after for whom ever is driving a great distance. I have decided the easiest thing to do is to ask that everyone bring enough meat(and buns) for themselves and possibly a dish to Pass and I can take care of Pop and Ezzy will run his grill, cause thats about all he is good for anyway

we can either do lunch or kind of an early dinner depending on how long we all want to stay or if Ezzy kicks us out or the cops get involved due to a noise ordinance

we will decide that when all have arrived, I think to training sessions for the day will be possible, if any are interested. Brittlver will be Bringing some shooter pigeons for $2 a piece and Ezzy has some homers we can use. if there is anything I have missed or any other Ideas give me a holler.

Long range forcast is for scattered showers. Bring some boots if it is muddy as the area here at the house is a big ravine in a corn field and could be messy. We have plenty of space though for getting in side out of the rain and also to eat. We will decide where we need to go that day depending on the weather. If you are wanting to use launchers bring them if you have them. Think we have the bases covered and be prepared for a good time.

I forgot I have 4 DT launchers and 2 remotes, so if need be we can make 2 sets of 2 launchers.

Mary, with the interstates running right to here it isn't that far for you in time. We are less than three hours from Cedar Rapids. Hook up with Denise.

I just got an order for 40 pigeons to take home from one of the people coming. Do we even have that many pigeons coming? Anyone wanting to get rid of some pigeons at 2 dollars or there abouts should bring what they have.

Brittlver · Post by **Brittlver** » Tue Apr 26, 2011 11:24 am

I could try and get more from my source. I am picking up 40 on friday but could tell her to get as many as she can. So far Joe wants 15, Wems wants 10 so I will have 15 left over. I will let you know how many I can get before friday.

C.painter · Post by **C.painter** » Tue Apr 26, 2011 12:03 pm

Jess if you get all those pigeons.... does it mean there won't be any more room in the truck for me to come!

Brittlver · Post by **Brittlver** » Tue Apr 26, 2011 1:23 pm

No there will still be room I'll just use you as a tree, and we can rest the birds on you. Might want to bring a rain coat for the bird poop. LOL

when I used to haul pigeons I would put a ton in my half ton truck, but I had to keep stopping and beating on the side of the box so at least half of them would be flying so I wasn't over weight. :roll:

Man thats looks cold ! hows your house do in the summer ? lol hope you don't take my Canadian jokes to seriously ?

Post by **ezzy333** » Tue Apr 26, 2011 9:05 pm

For those of you that have a GPS my address is 555 Rock Island Rd Dixon IL 61021 If anyone needs directions I can give you those too if you ask. It is real easy to get to from the south or east and west. And from the north some of you will be coming down on 39 so you would be coming to Dixon on 88 from the east. I live about a mile off of 88. Just let me know and I can help.

Looks like we are down to 40% chance of rain on Sat. with it being Sunny on Friday and Cloudy on Sun. So hopefully it will miss us or come later in the day.

I tried to convince her yesterday...

Brittlvr, if you end up getting more pigeons, I'd be more than glad to take more home. I just don't want to inconvenience you more, as I already appreciate the favor, and I want to be sure that everyone who wants to train that day--has enough.

Brittlver · Post by **Brittlver** » Fri Apr 29, 2011 2:58 pm

Well I was able to get 25 pigeons. Would have been able to get more but they found they had 15 nests, so didn't want to grab them. See you all tomorrow.

I wish I could feel like that, I am stuck here at work until Midnight, then got to go home and pack up the truck and get things together. Am getting a bit excited. I'm sure I'll be dreaming of watching dogs jumping around and birds flying all over.
