Yeah, it's early to announce, but Randy only used a pencil and we all know how that smudges, so now he can use ink. Plus, all the Covid bullshit has me missing you clowns.
DIMBY 2023 will be July 21-23. Hopefully fun will be had by all. [thumbsup]
[thumbsup]
Still penciled. ;D
For future reference, changes will either be sharpied (going), crayoned (still maybe) or erased (out).

It's in sharpie on by calendar! [Dolph]
I think it was around this time in 2018 when the beans actually extinguished the fire and the can temporarily vanished until winter.
In! ;D
Hellz yeah! [thumbsup]
We're in.
I heard about this. (Thanks Mary)
Have a reminder in my calendar to start airfare shopping in the spring. [thumbsup]
Mr & Mrs Monsterlover, and beans, will be there
cool, ah good; thinking in advance ;D; monsters getting older and I isn't getting any younger!

soooooo ... location?
I liked Dave & Paula's location on the west coast that they very graciously offered to host in Nor Cal; I was close but couldn't coordinate the time; this dates better.
[Dolph]
This DIMBY is in central NH.
Probably a long ride, but all are welcome.
Did you go to D&Ps place in Nor Cal? Believe it was just north of San Fran; now there close to NH on the east coast?; NH is a LLLLLooooonnnnggg ride from the west coast!

No.
I did go to BP's wedding.
OEM DIMBY = DP+T+Z's place in NH. Always has been, always will be.
All other DIMBY's = equally awesome, but not the original.
[thumbsup]
(I feel like there's a T shirt in there somewhere...)
Could be a great excuse to visit some old friends….
Hmmmm...I might be *sick* around that time.
Shipping camping gear and a hair dryer a few days in advance is acceptable?
I know I put a reminder in my calendar to book a flight and that should be coming up soon. But might be driving from Michigan or Cincinnati.

OG Toasty has been MIA for years, ever since he was kidnapped from DIMBY by an anti-Toasty faction... Impostor Toasty floated around for a bit and then made the mistake of attending DIMBY a few years later. He was executed hit man style, and then burned at the stake (or was it the shed?)

Come to think of it, maybe a cop isn't a good idea...from what I hear having a fireman in the group didn't prevent the fire department from showing up to shut down a towering inferno once. In fact, having a fireman just seems to make everyone want to light more things on fire.
Having a cop on site might just spur the group to rob a bank or something.

We talked about you. At least there's that.

I'm sure I could have convinced him to at least be as drunk as I was...wherever he was in the world. [laugh]

Not possible. Some people just have a natural talent at things that can't be matched.

You did a fairly exemplary job yourself, if I must say. ;D

If there's a next year......
I regret to announce that our friend Cory is now in home hospice...dood's dying. Doesn't seem right.
As the tears run down my face...I got nothing.
That is all.
Balls
It's not fair
What a bummer. So sorry to hear this.
Sucks to hear that news.
Arrgghh. I'm very sorry to see this. :(
So sorry.
I'm going to go see him tomorrow.
I need to bag up...
not really good at this kind of shit.

If you were good at it that would mean you did it a lot. Nobody should be good at it.
If I lived closer I'd go too. We're all there in spirit.
Sad news. My best to Cory and his wife.

How do hospice workers do it?
I guess the patients aren't their friends, but seeing all the make the beast with two backsing death...has to take a toll.
I just need to figure out how to stop the tears.

I don't know. I'm sure there's a certain level of detachment.
When Cindy's dad died I spent some time talking with the hospice worker asking questions about how it all works, how long she thought he would stay alive etc.
I don't remember all the answers but it was clear to me she knew all the ins and outs because she'd done it a lot.
We got a card from them all after Sam had passed. It was then that I realized it wasn't all death for them. They also focus really hard on being there for the family. Helping, comforting etc.
It's not a job I could do.
It's no secret that I'm struggling with this.
I was taught that you needed to fix everything.
As I've grown older, I've learned that there's very little I can control. I'm not excited about this realization.
I can't fix Cory...I can't fix Zeke.
I'm having issues. [bang] [laugh] [laugh]

I'm a bastard with death. I think I always have been. It's a serious character flaw. Or an asset. I've never quite known which. Please, when you go see Cory take him beer and call him a twat for terrorising the Cray fish (or whatever the make the beast with two backs the crustaceans were) ;D
And say G'day and thanks from me.
No beer for Cory. He just had a surgery, of some sort, and he's on morphine. Jeannie would kill me if I brought him a beer.
I told him you all said hey. He was happy about that.

Of course you do and it's time you realize it. Most people go through life fighting them. You've been given a chance to figure it out.
Sending my love to you and Cory, DP. We fight death our entire life and then it comes rushing in.
I saw my fair share in the ambulance and was able to hold a few hands as they took in their last breath.
I often say "I can't wait" when the subject of death comes up. I'll wait, but it is truly our last great adventure.
I'm sorry, Nate. My thoughts to Cory, and hugs to Jeannie. I imagine it's rough on her.
It was kinda strange today...'specially when the social worker came by to drop off the court signed DNR paperwork. :'(
There were other visitors, but Jeannie got me a chair, and I sat across from Cory and we talked. I was a good boy, and held back my tears, until Cory started talking about Jeannie and he broke into tears about how lucky he was to have her. Yeah Dave...it has to be hard for her.
I feel bad for Cory's 90 something year old mom that will likely outlive her son.
Keep in mind...'There is no gravity...the world sucks.'
I'm horrible at finding the best words in situations like this. Just know that your grief is felt Nate and also to the others who know Cory.
And keeping in the theme of this thread - without DIMBY (& this forum), these friendship bonds never would have happened, thus we get the pain of loss when friendships end for whatever reason.
See, nothing earth shattering by me. ;)

Very true. Honestly, I have developed a multitude of great friendships all because back in the early 2000's I bought a Ducati Monster 900 on eBay.
All roads lead to now.
I found Paula here.
Wife, kids, everything.
I only met Cory once, laughed a lot ... As Stella, have no words
RIP Cory Goodwin.

RIP Cory Goodwin.
I'm sorry you lost your friend and I'm sorry it happened this way.
He was a cool guy and I'm glad I got the chance to see him multiple times at dimby over the years.
I've got good memories of him so his spirit lives on in my corner of PA.
So sorry to hear. He was a singular person.
RIP Cory.
I'm so sorry, Nate.
RIP Cory.
Sorry to hear this.
Damn! RIP Cory.
RIP Cory. So pleased I got to play up with you mate.
Thoughts with Jeannie.
Cory always made DIMBY better with his participation, and I am glad to have known him even that little bit.
RIP Cory.
Ugh so, so sorry to see of Cory's passing.
For the hurt hearts: big cyber hugs to you and may his memory bring you many smiles.
RIP Cory, my condolences to family and close to him.
I'll never forget the lobster fight/dance.

Pretty accurate I'd say.
Sounds like a life well lived. [thumbsup]
