Ok, so I'm kicking around the idea of packing up and coming to the roundup. The problem is that I don't have enough vacation days to cover the time off I'll need. I figure 2 days to drive there (from Albuquerque, New Mexico) , 3 days for the event, and 2 days home. Thats 7 days, but I'm off for 2 of them anyway. That leaves 5 days of vacation I'd need to take. I don't have ANY vacation days until the 1st of October.

SO- Do I bite the bullet and take 5 unpaid days off, requiring the wife and I to eat macaroni and cheese for a month, OR- Do I skip it (again) this year, and plan better for next year?

I've never run the con, and would really like to put some names and faces together.

Help me out here guys....

Floridians = insulated coveralls. You all remember us from last year, we won't be any different this year... cept we'll be bringing the in-tent heater this year as well.
Long johns, toques ...prepare for the cold! You don't have to freeze your

if you don't want to!
And Reklund...we're both taking a week without pay to make our trip... you can do it. Just tighten your belt.

*** YELLER *** · « **Reply #238 on:** Aug 15, 2006, 05:15:23 PM »

If ya'll can find a 12 volt elect blanket

they work great, I got the wife one and we plug it into our Jumper box at night and she stays warm

all night.

I was very comfortable last year with my insulated coveralls and a wool hat (toque) the important thing is keeping your head covered 90% of your body heat is lost through your head.
Oh and we have insulated boots too.
