Gentlemen,
It is with great regret that I am officially being a candy-ass. After a meeting with the financial advisor (Heather), we both agreed that it be best not to attend Ram Jam this year.
The following are more of my "excuses"
-Thats a long drive for me, but whats worse, is my son strapped in his seat for the 15 hr. endeavor.
-I'm sure it would be a blast, but the hot, humid weather doesn't sound appealing to me or the family.
-My work is forcing us to use 6 days of our vacation when THEY want us to, so I need to hold onto some days.
The wife (the trooper she is) and I, probably would have ignored the "excuses" and went, but the money issue couldn't be overlooked.
I'm pretty bummed, :\'( I was really looking forward to meeting some people, Smokey, Sam, GunPilot, Primergrey and Purepleasure (of course) but not Marty (J/K)

just to name a few.
Hopefully next year.
Curse me and call me a sissy-la-la if you must, I understand.
