**** Annual Northern Illinois Brethren Mid Winter Gathering, 2019 Edition!!! - Saturday, Jan. 26th, 2019

Hope the heat is working, what a weekend. Last year we didn’t wear a coat. Never know about the Midwest
 
So you have one extra bag, would you have a grinder?


I'll upcharge you rather than grind at Meijer

Of course I have a grinder :-D. Two, actually. I can grind it for you, but the grind size is different for press and likely for the K-Cup. I can grind it at our normal setting for drip and you can see how it works.

Oh Captain, My Captain, thank you so much for organizing this gathering. The selection of both location and food provider were both superb. And it's always good to get together at associate faces with member names form the board and share stories about one of our favorite pastimes.

Thanks!

PS: Sat with Bill-Chicago and he doesn't look anything like his picture. For that matter neither do you.

Was a great time as always. But I hope most of the people that showed up today also show up for the Summer Bash. While the food at most of the winter get togethers is good, the food at the bash is so much better.

I'd love to attend the summer bash but I've had conflicts so far.

Do we have a date yet? I'm guessing that whoever is doing it already has a shelter reserved.

That would be me, and no date yet. I'm waiting on a couple of competition dates to be firmed up. Soon :-D
