Deletegot a fee figured out yet?

Thanks, looking forward to be with some patriots with Liberty in mind......
DeleteLooking forward to this Constitutional PATCON.
ReplyDeleteAs am I. Thanks.
DeleteSchedule, speakers and raffle prizes updated above. More to come.
ReplyDeleteHello Mr. Brock, Kelly and I had a wonderful time this spring, looking forward to October. We would be able to give a presentation on raising meat rabbits including humane dispatch & cleaning, Of course that would be followed by recipes and a hot grill. If there is time and interest, let me know.
ReplyDeleteOh, I am certain all would enjoy. Just tell me how much time you would like and what to post. You can do it here or by email whichever you wish and thanks. I haven't had squirrel forever. :)
DeleteI am looking forward to some rabbit.
DeleteSquirrel. :)
DeleteHave been reading with interest raising rock cornish hens for humane dispatch and cleaning but, not egg production. Any knowledge on this topic? Care to share at Patcon?
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteThanks for jogging my mind as we are supposed to have a speaker on the same regarding rabbits, but I haven't received the input yet. Maybe he or someone can delve into this at the PATCON. I'm also missing info from two+? other speakers, so y'all please send it in. Additionally, there are some raffle prizes yet to be posted. Thanks.
DeleteReceived sponsorship from CADD Graphics as well as PATCON fees from David and Lucy De Gerolamo. Updated above as well as comment on PATCON's raffle rifle.
ReplyDeleteBrock, having trouble with your email. Would you email me at Leatherneck7476@protonmail.com
DeleteDone and thanks.
DeleteHey Brock,
ReplyDeleteCan we send cash or money-order for registration? Also is the Wed, Thursday "free" days just to get there. Looks like Friday and Saturday are the important days. My wife and I are looking forward to participate. Will be our "first" one out side of our close friends in Arkansas.
Great! Cask or check is fine and I won't deposit checks until Monday September 28th. Dixie and I will be there from Tuesday until Monday, so you are free to come for all the nights if you like. Thanks.
DeleteYou're taking casks? I WANT A CASK! I'll trade fiat paper for a cask! BTW - don't buy the "gleefully submissive act" - she's ANYTHING BUT!
DeleteYou're taking casks? I WANT A CASK!
Delete:) ! I will certainly accept it instead of cash, but whatever it is, it must be expensive..........! :)
Received PATCON funds from Ron Newman AKA Safetalker. Thanks and check your email.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to another great get-together, Brock!
ReplyDeleteThanks for making this event excellent, every time!

Thank you for the kind words!
DeleteBrock,
ReplyDeleteSent registration fee to you last Saturday. Looks like I used the wrong postage amount. Used a 41 cent stamp, found out it should have been a 49 cent stamp. Sorry....kind of stupid on my part. You might keep a look out for the letter..............
I'll stock up on beer as soon as I receive it.......:) Thanks.
DeleteReceived PATCON funds from Harold and Gwen Sadler. Thank you and y'all, the deadline is approaching.
ReplyDeleteReceived PATCON funds from Shane and Kimberly Bean. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteSaturday's schedule updated above.
ReplyDeleteRaffle items and Friday's schedule updated with more to come.
ReplyDeleteRaffle item added above. 16 days left until deadline. Thanks.
DeleteBrock,
ReplyDeleteI will be there. Pete and I intend to do some table top exercises focusing on mission planning and logistics. He will provide the details.
Grenadier1
I'm waiting for his reply regarding whether he wants to do it at 5 on Friday or doing his round-table on Saturday. Thanks.
DeleteWe are planning on doing something on Friday evening and Saturday evening as well. I still need to send you my check this week. Sorry about forgetting it but I will get it to you.
DeleteGrenadier1

DeleteIs this what I have already posted? If not, I need to know now. Thanks.
Yes the BDOC exercise is it.
DeleteG1
Thanks.
DeleteBrock, Mailed the check yesterday. Should get to you before Wednesday. Again my apologies for being so late.
DeleteG1
I deposit all checks tomorrow and leave here Tuesday at 1PM, so unless it comes before that, I will not be here.
DeleteReceived PATCON funds from Mark Roote plus Michael and Ethel Downing. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteA class for Friday added above.
ReplyDeleteReceived funds from Donald Bradshaw and I thank you. 13 days until the deadline.
ReplyDeleteThanking about coming in on Greyhound bus to Rocky Mount. Any commercial transportation between Rocky Mount and Tarboro?
ReplyDeleteWhere are you coming from, please?
DeleteRight after I wrote you about coming on bus fro Little Rock, AR, our AC went out. Looks like my first priorty will be to the family and I will have to me the Recon. Just use the money I registered under Harold and Gwen Sadler as money to help out the Recon. I was thinking, it would be really nice if the topics could be recorded for people that could not attend. I would pay for that in a heartbeat.
DeleteObviously, you are so far away and the travel expense is quite a bit for me. Would be nice if there were ones in the OK, AR, MO, LS and TN areas. If there are, the information is lacking. Thinking about putting a regional paper/ezine like the 'The Appalachian Messenger' together so we won"t be in the dark and hopefully band together for what is about to happen......
That's too bad and I see it is $218 for one person without any discounts that you may qualify for, but if you can't, you can't unfortunately. We might be able to pick you up in Rocky Mount, so the bus would be your only expense other than food, so if something changes, please let me know. David usually records the speeches and many are posted here. Since David will read this, he might be able to come up with something more expansive than he publishes now.
DeleteThe best of luck,
Brock
I try to record all speeches that the speakers allow. I have ordered an external mic with a wind sock to eliminate background noise.
DeleteThanks, I would love to get the recordings. Please let me know how much and where to order?
DeleteDavid normally posts them online. Thanks.
DeleteSending today...

DeleteExcluding the first 3 pictures, the rest all concern Littleton.

In 1914, John Pelopidus Leach died, and the monument below was erected to him in Littleton. It depicts two hands shaking, one black and one white, with the inscription, "This Is What He Meant, All Men Up Erected By His Colored Friends." Private/Captain/Colonel/Judge Leach donated the land for the Enon Baptist Church in Littleton, and was generous to the poor and needy throughout his life.

ReplyDeleteLooking like we're going to need water wings this weekend.
ReplyDeleteI guess that's what I get by mentioning it had never rained at the PATCONS, Dixie's birthdays or family reunions. :) Of course things may change, but I'm wondering would the campers be interested in ordering another tent so they could camp under it. Might be better than in the open and of course you could come inside and sleep on the floor, but not very practical.
DeleteWe'll just have to wait and see and deal with it
DeleteYes, we can pray for the best and I can always call for a delivery later if necessary.
ReplyDeleteInfo:
ReplyDeleteA 15X15 tent can be had for $100 if campers might be interested. Could have it set up Wednesday or Thursday and taken down next Monday.
Looks like rain from latest forecast. I'll try to bring down one of those beach shelter/pop-up tents if I can find it. What else? Never been to one of these, right now am planning like a camping trip for a couple days (food/water/shelter/etc).
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Jon D
Whatever you need for camping and all are welcome to come anytime. Thanks.
DeleteThe current forecast looks like it will be nowhere near Dixeland on Saturday
ReplyDeletehttp://freenorthcarolina.blogspot.com/2015/09/patcon-weather-forcast.html
Even though, we had between 8 and 10 inches total of rain (guesstimation), We didn't float or wash away. But it'll take a couple of days of sun to dry out everything.
ReplyDeleteOn behalf of the Alamance County Rangers, I would to extend our deepest gratitude to Brock and Dixie for their gracious hospitality as always. We finally got 1 night by the fire...lol I would also like to thank Peter, Josh, Tony, Michael and all the others for making this PatCon a informative one. Looking forward to the spring PatCon.
Thank you for the kind words, Sir and the campfire was a pleasure as always. Thank you and Ethan for stacking your firewood/leaving it here in preparation for the spring. By the way, do you know where the long metal instruments we used for marshmallow went?
DeleteBrock, I regret that I had to leave before you got moving this morning, but I got a phone call telling me that there were several roads between the Patcon and my house that were closed due to flooding. I decided to head out early in case I had any trouble. As it turns out, I took the back roads and didn't hit any water over the roads until I got about 5 miles from home, made it back with no real trouble (just a wrong turn or two).
ReplyDeleteAs to the Patcon itself... Thanks to you and Dixie for hosting an excellent event. This was my first NC Patcon, and I'll be back for more. The speakers and classes were excellent, so my thanks go out to those presenters as well. I wish I had better luck in the raffle, but I guess there's always next time.
A brief AAR on the sand table exercise:
- Overall it was an excellent exercise. That was something that I haven't been a part of in a very long time (admittedly, my previous roles were only as radio operator/log writer and table "sculptor")
- I liked the scenario and the unexpected surprise in the middle.
- It was a very good first attempt (especially for the team that had never worked together before)
- The only real negatives I experienced were all issues to be expected from an inexperienced team:
* Need to work on radio/communication procedures (using proper call signs; keeping radio silence; ie. don't call the recon team, wait for them to call you so that you don't accidentally jeopardize their position)
* need to establish code names/words prior to sending the recon team out (recon was asked about "location 3", but had no prior confirmation of where location 3 was)
That's really all I have to say on it for now. Thanks again for hosting an excellent event. You have a great location there, and I wish I had more time to get into the history of it. Now it's time to go nail down a tarp over the new leak in my roof.
made it back with no real trouble (just a wrong turn or two).
DeleteYou'd have to leave late to see me in the morning and I'm glad you made it safely back. :)
============
Now it's time to go nail down a tarp over the new leak in my roof.
:) See you in the spring and I appreciate your comments. Thanks.
