I was wondering how many guys in this hobby of ours, have weekly or monthly gatherings for build nights.

Me and the boy's have a weekly gathering of building, BBQ, wine, and lots of b/s.

Here in so cal we are blessed with almost always perfect weather.

We have been doing this for about five or six years.

It's like league night at the bowling alley without the noise and smoke.

I can tell you, it is some of the best time I have spent in this hobby.

So if you want to spend some quality time with your flying Buddy's and have

something to look forward to every week, give it a try.

Thanks W.W.

Warren,

I have been there several times and fondly remember those times.

Now, in the future, please protect my stash of those press on letters until I can get there. You never know what kind of undesirables might show up at those sessions. (I have heard you are using them already.)

Windy was holding pizza\build parties,(no wonder all their paint jobs are hot). The Beringers used to hold Saito hop-up parties.

Warren Walker · « **Reply #4 on:** July 27, 2012, 08:56:37 PM »

As a matter of fact, I got the idea from windy.

I just expanded on it.

Warran you're the man! Your Thursday night man cave "build nights" are the best Thursday night get togethers going with a memorable meal everytime. Too much good stuff to list here, besides to mention all of the good eats would simply make everyone drool. You know that we cannot have that all over their keyboards. You're quite the chef with a pleasent surprise every week. Lovin' the fresh veggies from your garden and the homemade canned goods. Keep it up good buddy, you set a great example and hopefully more clubs will be inspired to have a build night BBQ get-together like yours!

Ya mark, I can see it now. You drop in here from Spokane, it's only 100+ miles. Dave miller can shoot down here, it's only 60 miles for him. Let's do it! Wed. night is fine with me.

HI Warren,

Go ahead, rub it in! You have enough guys locally to have a "build night". Around here having a build night would be like having to plan a vacation each week. Guys would have to take off from work the day of the build and the day after........ Closest is my son, 30 miles, then 40 miles, 60 miles, 90 miles and at least 100 miles........ just no easy way to do it.

Some of the guys do travel over 40 miles!

Warren's hospitality can't be measured in mere fine dining. The best friends I have ever known are found at Warren's on Thursday nights... I am hopelessly stuck on second shift and have not made it in over a year now.

But you should see his outdoor kitchen!

I have learned a lot from these build sessions.

Larry, It's just a matter of time, go for it!

Larry Renger · « **Reply #11 on:** July 28, 2012, 10:44:18 AM »

I live about 60 miles from Warren and rarely miss a Thursday. He tends to give me goodies to take home to the missus, and I think she would belabor me about the head and shoulders if I failed to go.

So far nobody has mentioned the 7 ft tall smoker and the 4'x6' Santa Fe style barbecue or the 4' diameter Paella pan. Then there is the greenhouse and orchard in addition to the ever expanding garden. And of course, Antone works out in Warrens excercise pool (We keep telling him to take the guards off the propeller, but so far no luck).

Having a true spraybooth and 5 workstations seems nice.

We have to get this more compact. How about "Sort of Bad Larry", so it becomes "SOB Larry"?. What do you think?

I always did have a nasty streak when aroused. Ask my wife about the time we met and the dork who tried to butt in.

Michael Alurac · « **Reply #24 on:** August 13, 2012, 10:02:02 PM »

Warren, Sorry to have missed your last Thursnight build night due to calling it off due to the high temps in So Cal. As it turned-out it was a good night to have the guys from work over to have Alaskan halibut fish tacos and take a swim in the pool. Caught the halibut last summer up in Seward Alaska and its time was due to get eaten. So in the spirit of Warren Walker and all of the Thursday night build friends and the high bar you set for BBQing I kicked it up a knotch or two and que'd a meal you would be inspired by. Maybe I'll even get a chance at Thursday night sous chef or guest chef sometime soon! Here's to good eats and lookin' forward to this Thursday night!

News Flash - Dateline Warren Walker's residence Rancho Cucamonga, CA

Smoke billows have been spotted spewing from the Walker compound backyard like smoke signals calling in his hungry build night brothers this Thursday evening. The cause of the smoke has been determined to be Warren seasoning in his new homebuilt BBQ pit grilling up the likes of dry aged tri-tip along with some chicken. Here's a look at Walkers got cookin'. See the attached pics.

Warren you rock bro, the grub was great.

Thank you!

Larry Renger · « **Reply #26 on:** August 17, 2012, 02:04:50 AM »

Cake, German Chocolate Cake, German Chocolate cake made with Port for half the liquid? Who else but Mike Alurac, masterbaker (don't misread that, it has to do with cooking, not s.x) OMG My wife doesn't like German Chocolate cake, and had seconds on this one! Mike, you da bomb!

Oh, yes, and Warren, she came home tired and worn out from the Chicago trip, said she wasn't at all hungry, and ate about half the tri-tip you sent. Not bad, dude!

I may be allowed to come back to the Man Cave again next week. Let me know when you can get some Pastrami, and I will produce the ultimate Jewish Rye bread to go with. If you don't have the hot mustard, I will source it. I think I know a source for good Dill Pickles.

Warren, those of us privledged to attend will remember these evenings all our lives (which will be much shorter due to the calories, fat and salt, but who's counting?) (Hi Ramona, thanks for your tolerance of the mob!)

Last night was great, "Mike Alley oop" alurac was guest chief. Mike is a fantastic cook, he brought Alasken halibut and lingcod.
Along with the fish he had all stuff you need for world class fish taco's, slaw,sauce,lime,mango salsa,tortills,and home made rice.
Mike also had chicken and super sweet water Mellon.

Not having to cook left me with time to press two five gallon batches of wine, so far this year we are up to 35 gal, with one
more 10 gal batch still in primary fermentation. Next year we will have great supply of (I hope) really good wine.

By the way,Mike caught the fish in Alaska.

Until you have spent an evening in Warren's "Man Cave" you have not truly experienced this hobby to it fullest. Especially during the Palmer contest when people from all over descend on Warren's for dinner and fun. You eat like a king and rub elbows with legends.

Let's see what Walkers got cookin' last evening for Thursday night build night.

Having the privledge of being guest chef for the evening I went all out and broke out the finest of Ling Cod and Halibut both caught up in the ice cold waters of Seward Alaska for some amazing fish tacos. Brought some marinated chicken along too to enhance last evenings taco offerings.
Manning the 'que left Warren with time to reveal the workings of his homemade wine press. Quite a masterpiece of grape sqeezing functionality producing 10 gallons of grape juice in last evenings pressing. This is just a warm-up as there are great aspirations and anticipation of some fine homemade Vino!

Thank you Warren, Ramona and Buttercup for letting me man the 'que and all of the hospitality, good will towards your guests and the control line model airplane hobby.

Cheers!

It was gourmet cowboy burger night at Warren's last Thursday build night. Chefing-up the finest each week Warren made gourmet cowboy burgers topped with pastrami and applewood smoked bacon. Along with garden fresh corn and a vegetable medley of squash, peppers and beets rounded out this fine man cave meal. Oh yes we had some cole slaw too or "soul slaw" as I like to call it.

On the build night side of things Warren just got in a new Naughty Girl kit for an upcoming build.

I've been to Warren's home several times and it is a wonderful place. Warren and Ramona are special people and treat their guests with Royalty. When ever I have spent an evening there I was hoping to sign adoption papers LOL.

I'm baaaaack.
It's been three weeks without a Mancave night. So calling one and all. This Thursday we will be straping on the old feedbag in what has been discribed
at the mancave as moderation through excess. I don't know if we have ever missed three weeks in a row.

The best part is, my Wife and I spent the time relaxing and fishing in the Eastern Sierras. I know it's a tough job but someone has to do it.
So on top of the usaual cast of cohorts anyone who would like to come let me know.

Glad to hear that you're back from one of my favorite spring fishing destinations the along hwy 395 in the high Sierras. I fish the lakes of the June Lake Loop and Lake Crowley a few miles South of the Mammoth/June Lakes area the last weekend of April every year for the High Sierra trout opener. Lots of stories, big trout and good times to share.

Count me in this Thursday and let me know what I can bring. My Gold Hill wine club shipment arrived so I'll bring a nice bottle of red along with a bottle of Port for starters.

Tonights fare was tri-tip and chicken on a mesquite fire along with medley of garden grown veggies, pineapple slaw and Warren's famous wood fire toasted garlic bread.

Oh ya, cut some maple motor mounts for my Dale Kirn Torquet just to make sure it could be classified a "Build Night" event! Not mention it was nice to see Phil Hawkins again and to meet new friends.

Thank you Warren!
