I have a fellow dropping by tomorrow to check out my drainpipe. maybe he'll drop off sufficient funds to tow it away.then I'll have to scramble for something to use my site at casino.maybe a camo box or something like that, with a perimeter of claymores to keep the riff raff at bay.
Hey Robert-- just bring on the bacon,

Unfortunately they had to remove ~50% of my tongue.... Fortunately I can still talk, but it is somewhat challenging to speak and be understood. After our meeting with the oncologist today we know that I will need radiation-therapy, chemo-therapy, speech-therapy, physical-therapy, etc., but what I REALLY need is some 'stream-therapy'. We have been looking forward to the rally but we figured this just wasn't going to happen with all of this medical stuff going on. HOWEVER... my oncologist is telling us that we should plan on attending the rally in April. So, we should be arriving on Friday and were planning on leaving Monday, but we may be able extend the trip for 2-3 additional nights (I will be off work for at least 6-10 weeks for treatment). Not sure if we will stay at Casini for the additional days, so recommendations on points south on our way back home would be appreciated.

See all of you soon!

Scott,

Sorry to hear about your medical setback. However, fresh air, gathering with friends, and the gleam of aluminum is the best medicine for recovery! See you soon...

Cheers, Dee

To make it even worse, I can't come to the fall rally either.

[JFScheck]

Are there any more spaces available for this fun event?

[doorgunner]

Call the place, they got a bunch of spaces, everyone is responsible to secure their own site.can't decide where you're from huh, conflicted? lost? or just touring America the beautiful?

on another note PADDLE PARTY Saturday, Vinnie you need a yak?? or 2?

the guy that looked at the excel today was financially challenged.
tomorrow a family is checkin it out.

I see Neil changed his avatar, Lynn probably bugged him about the last one. (just Neil in his fresh aire shirt) which I, by the way prefer to the current "peep" shot.

Lynn didn't 'bug' me. She has a difficult time viewing the 'puter screen so I can get away with a lot......unless you guys 'squeal' on me. I put the 'peep' avatar up for her anyway. We are head'n up on Wed weather permitting. Long rage forcast is for showers. I can handle showers. The downpour at Jackson last fall created a big leak.....in the convertible. It's in the rear of the top where it meets the body. Totally flooded the trunk. Fortunately much of the water collected into a plastic box.

We are taking seriously our unofficial official duty, by default, to be the welcome commitee. We have a small 'Welcome Gift' for each trailer arrival.....some extra 'gifts for kiddies.

Neil and Lynn

[1953 Flying]

Someone needs to do the no rain dance. As Neil said, 60% chance of showers. If it's going to be like it was two years ago ,I'll bring my waders for packing up on Sunday.

No rain....no rain....no rain....ug....

[webspinner]

My weather report says 40%, so things are looking better, maybe?

Dg.. count me in. The last time I used one I was scuba diving.. we had them anchored with or flags out. It was our second dive. I was sooo tired coming back in the second time i barely was able to climb up onto Kayak again

[doorgunner]

peeps haven't aged a bit- funny Neil.
I like your signature line.
That's a Buick??? really, I thought it was a Citroen , of sorts.
Let it pour, I'll put on my dry suit and enjoy the freshness of mother nature as she cleanses the mind and soul with her whimsical pitter patter of moisture as it falls upon my innocent upward turned face.
ok Vinnie I'll bring a yak for you.. one for Cindie?
