  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

Ok, I know this is short notice, and I know its on Easter weekend, that was poor planning on my part and promise to have the next one on a better weekend and with more notice. Any how, its the same as any other herf when it comes to smoking and hand bombing each other. Also there will be food ribs, burgers, dogs, and sausage peppers and onions, as well as all your normal BBQ sides. The only thing I ask is you bring what ever you like to drink, soda, beer whatever. Also, this is not only open to the members here, you can also bring wives, gf's and kids. I have 3 kids, 2 teenagers, and a soon to be 4 yo, my teenagers are in charge of keeping the little ones happy and out of trouble. Also, on last thing, if you have a lawn chair or 2, please bring them, I have yet to find a set for the lawn that my wife and I both like. Now for the fun stuff...

We will have Domino table set up.
Corn Hole
Bon Fire on the lake if we go into the night (more on that in a minute)
and last but not least, fishing if you so choose. (more on that in a minute)


There are plenty of hotels that are with in 5 minutes of my house, and will have a designated driver to get you and yours back to the hotel if you have a little bit too much, or you can crash here on the couches and floors. I am located in Lakeland FL, 45 min west of Disney, 45 min east of Tampa. Now again, I know this is short notice and a bad weekend, but this is just a test run, if you cant come I TOTALLY understand, BUT, I would like to know if there would be interest in doing it again later this year, or again in the spring of next year.

Now I said more on the fishing and bon fire, well here goes...
I live on a lake, my community (77) homes, we collectively own a part of the lake its a cove off of the big lake and all of the property surrounding the cove. We have a floating dock, a boat ramp and lots of land to set up chairs and fish. We have bass, cat fish, and sunnies (blue gill) for the kids to catch. Also there are gators, and you might see a few come swimming into the cove, or sunning themselves on the island in the cove. Also, the sunsets are killer.

The Cove...


The sunsets... (there are no filters used on these, this is how it looks)








one of our bon fires...




So let me know if you can make it, and if not, if you would be interested if I were to do it again.

Thanks, Russ


Oh one last thing, just so you know its not a far walk from my house to the lake, this is from my front yard..
