Time for the Annual GTG at the Powerpig Manor in NOVA!

Spring is looming near, and it's time to plan for the annual GTG at the Powerpig House of BBQ! I'm looking at the weekend of March 26th. The GTG is at the usual place in Sterling, VA. Check your calendars an let me know if that works for you guys and gals. Thanks

I might make it! I'm making a trip to the National Archives at College Park, MD. I'll see if I can schedule to hit that weekend.

Ah, the misinformed. That was only if you were a VA resident and they repealed that law a few years ago.

What's the reason they would pull you over and fine you $1000?

The GTG is still on. I'm open to you guys setting the date if this one doesn't work. I just can't do it before the mentioned date.

No, it's to encourage everyone to drive more 'safely'.

I'm usually off Saturday's so I can probably do any weekend. The 300D is actually raring to go (knock on wood). Only day I can't do is April 23, I'm going to see James Blunt that night.
