Many of you know that Shawn French, aka "Thrown Hammer" recently moved from the end of the earth (otherwise known as Indiana) to the land of milk and honey that is Southern California. Just what we needed, more "immigrants"
Unfortunately, a week after Shawn uprooted his family, drove across country in near record time and began to settle into his newly rented house, his company did an about face and decided that Indiana isn't so bad after all and pulled the plug on the project.
So...Shawn is in temporary limbo but it looks like it's just a matter of time before he has to pack everything up again and head back across the country. His SC has some issues that need to be taken care of first so Paul (PKASSO) has generously offered the use of this shop, tools & supplies to get the SC up and running this weekend.
But...a BBQ at an auto garage in an industrial complex doesn't exactly enthrall the women and children, so we've put our heads together and decided to do a "social" BBQ hosted at my house a week later, either July 1st or 2nd. Wives, SO's and children are welcome and encouraged to attend.
We can BBQ a variety of different things. How about Wild King Salmon caught by yours truly?
A wise old man once told me that Filet Mignon was pretty tasty:
I can also BBQ German Weisswurst & Bratwurst and my wife makes some tasty homemade Sauerkraut. Chicken is also a no-brainer along with hot dogs/hamburgers for the kids. There would be something for everybody.
The grill & bar:
This will be a fun time to relax and just hang out with a beer in one hand, glass of wine in the other and talking Porsche's (or whatever else comes to mind). For the Porsche content in this post:
My wife and I will supply the meat/poultry/fish (the number of people will determine what we'll do for the main course) and drinks but it would be cool if guests could bring a side dish or dessert to share and make it a potluck type party. And hey, if you have something that you want to grill, no problem, bring it along and we'll add it to the mix.
Shawn's family and mine are right now both available on July 1st (Saturday) or July 2nd (Sunday) so we decided to leave the date open for now and see what is the best date for interested people.
Once we do firm up a date, it would be appreciated if those that would like to come RSVP (either responding on this thread or PM) so we can get an accurate headcount for food & drinks.
My address is:
8 Via Indomado
Rancho Santa Margarita, CA 92688
You can PM me if you need my home and/or cell number. I would set the time between 3-4 pm to whenver we run out of beer.
It would be nice to have a good turnout (not just from the OC guys) but Pelicans from down south, up north and due east. The more the merrier!
Put a name to a face and meet Shawn, his wife Becky and their two kids along with other Pelicanites you correspond with on this BBS but really have no idea who they are.

P.S. - If you can also post the date (either Sat. 07/01 or Sun. 07/02) that works best for you it would be helpful.
