The Battle for Camp Borepatch

It's over.  At the end of next month, we will take possession of Camp Borepatch, complete with Secure Perimeter and Arms Room.  The
battlenegotiations were fierce, but have been brought to a satisfactory conclusion.

I believe that Gen. Patton would have approved.  L'audace, l'audace, toujours l'audace.  While we will not be in snooty East Cobb, we will be within 2 miles of the all time greatest BBQ restaurant on the planet, Swallow in the Hollow.*  Admittedly, it isn't Le Poulet Grand, but it's not a KFC, either ...

I had said that we might be gone from Yankeeland before the first snow.  That's looking quite likely.

This is another time to ask if anyone in the north Atlanta burbs has a gun store they really like, and trust, and like to do repeat business with, please email or leave a comment.  It appears that I will have an Arms Room to fill, and like doing business with people worth doing business with.  And #2 Son will be in desperate need of a Ruger 10/22.

* Those left behind in Yankeeland can do pretty well at Tennesee's BBQ in Framingham (and a few other locations).

Very Good!

I look forward to seeing it. Thanks for the invite to come down and see you and the beautiful Mrs. Borepatch when I have business that way.

Get settled in and relax.

Yay!

Though it snowed here yesterday, so maybe you should put a geographical qualifier on that statement.

George said...

Yay indeed. Welcome to the southland, BP and fam!

Swallow in the Hollow is quite tasty, but I preferred Fat Matt's. Yet DBA BBQ does have breaded deep fried bacon served with ranch dressing.....

....oh, and lot's of Cowboy clubs within one hour of Atlanta.

Though you'll be missed around here...

Looks like I have another farewell dinner to plan...

Keep me posted on dates!

Hat Trick said...

Congrats and good luck with the move.

Blizzard in the Midwest? No snow predicted here in Illinois although I do remember a 2" or so accumulated snowfall we had just before Halloween in '93 so I wouldn't be too surprised.

Paladin said...

Holy Cow, that was fast! Congratulations!

Congratulations BP. Now comes the hard part. Lu and I are with you in spirit my friend, hoping for a problem free move. As you said;
Free At Last!

There's a Famous Dave's in Manchester.

Yeah, I was shocked to find this out, too... and yeah, it's just as good as the one in Chattanooga.

BP,
Check out Holt Brothers BBQ if you ever find yourself near Norcross, GA. I know, not near Cobb Cty, you have to get past the 285/GA-400 interchange.

Are you going to join the SASS and get a cowboy nick-name? There's a club in Flintstone, GA.

Borepatch said...

DirtCrashr, not sure. SASS gets pretty spendy, if you do it right.

TOTWTYTR said...

Congratulations. I can't even be sad at the prospect of your leaving since you and Clan Borepatch are going to be so obviously happy.

JayG, for farewell dinner planning purposes, I will be out of town from November 18 to after Thanksgiving. Hopefully you'll be able to do something before those dates.
