I’m Francis White, a long-time Friend of the FSP, and since I’ll be coming up to N.H. in a few days I thought I’d just reach out to see if anyone was free and interested to meet for introduction. I’ll be in the general area of Gilmanton/Alton Bay/Wolfeboro on Thursday evening (the 21st), and perhaps into Friday as well.
I can best be reached at my telephone number 603 440 0730. Thank you.
It’s Litter Pick-Up Time!
Sunday, May 19th.
Breakfast at Deja Vu on Court Street @ 8:00 AM (optional).
Start at Shooter’s on DW Highway @ 9:00 AM.
Yes, I have enough bags this time!
See you there!
It’s that time again: The Last LRP Litter pick up of the season. Yay!
We’ll meet behind Shooter’s on DW Highway in Belmont at 9:00 AM this Sunday, October 29, 2023.
I’ll have trash bags and vests. Bring your own reacher and gloves.
If you wish, please join us for breakfast at Deja Vu Cafe on Court Street in Laconia at 8:00 Am for breakfast. If not, see you behind Shooter’s.
“Please join us liberty folks at Funspot, which is known as the “Largest Arcade in the World,” on Sunday, October 8. It is located at 579 Endicott Street North in Laconia.
We will be upstairs at the picnic tables by the bowling alley starting at noon. The tables could only be booked for 2 hours, but us liberty folks tend to linger when the gab gets going, so we should be around until at least 3:00.
There are plenty of activities for the kids and the young-at-heart. Pizza will be provided. Hosted by Independence Realty Group as part of the fall activities planned around the Columbus Day Week-End by the Free State Project.
Hope to see you there!”
🎼Here we go again,
Lookin’ for a place to have our monthly meet-up.
(Apologies to Dolly Parton.)
Daniel Guzman reached out to Mike Sylvia with this suggestion for our monthly meet-up: El Tequila Mexican Restaurant in Gilford. It in the Walmart plaza at 1458 Lakeshore Drive.
Dan spoke to someone there about our group and was informed that they have a side space for us to meet. There is room for more than 20 people in this space with tables and chairs as well as booths.
It seems quieter than Shooter’s (sorry to be selfish), they have reasonably priced lunch specials. The menu is on their Facebook page (below). Oh, lest I forget, they have Coca Cola products! Molly and I ate lunch there today. We enjoyed our meals.

And so, this month’s meet-up is Saturday, January 21st from 12:00 – when we’re done.
As always, I welcome / encourage / request / beg for feedback.

Guess who?
(Who peeked?)
Alrighty, while there were some bumps in the road for our foray at Ellacoya Barn & Grill (e.g., not enough space for us and it looks like Glen & Tony left), I thought that it had potential.
Well, it doesn’t.
The manager, Michele, checked with the owner. He is unwilling to make reservations without real numbers every time.
I was unable to find another place who would let us wing it.
It seems unfair to keeping switching month to month.
I got negative comments about the cost of the food at Patrick’s
So, with the power vested in me by my cat (he swears that it’s legit), we will be moving back to [loud] Shooter’s in Belmont.
Hopefully, the ability for people to come and go as they please will outweigh the negatives (e.g., the noise).
Next meet-up will be Saturday, December 17th at noon.
In liberty,
Rick
Hello again Porcupines,
While I have received only a few replies, including yea and nay for Ellacoya Barn & Grill, 2667 Lake Shore Road, Gilford, we going to try it this month.
Saturday, November 19, 2022 from 12:00 – 1:30-ish. My understanding is that we’ll be upstairs to have our own space.
If you attend, please give me some feedback.
If anyone has another suggestion, let me know.
If the majority wants to go back to Shooter’s we can do that.
If there is enough of a split, we can alternate. Shooter’s is just open. We would need to reserve Ellacoya.
Hope to see folks this Saturday.
Rick
Hello again, Porcupines,
Continuing our search for a new meet-up destination, someone suggested the Ellacoya Barn and Grill in Gilford. ( https://www.barnandgrille.com )
I spoke with the manager, Michele, and explained that we typically get between 10 and 20 folks. While she [obviously] would prefer to know the exact number, we never know who will show up.
If enough people want to try it, I will arrange it for the 19th.
Lemme know.
Rick
Hello Porcupines.
Well, our victory was short-lived—metaphorically speaking.
The New Hong Kong Buffet is closed and the space is posted for lease.
Thoughts?
Back to Shooter’s?
Try T-Bones?
Try Patrick’s again (I recall that folks thought that it was pricey.)
Lemme know what you think. The 3rd Saturday will be here before we know it.
Rick
