Lew........take your meds. Now!
Ruth Ann and I are going to try and "make the Wake" in Florida. Sorry Jon, but if I don't come you will have to drive to NE Ohio to pickup Ruth Ann. Its like Driving Miss Daisey.
Since the campground doesn't like ralleys, we can call this gathering a Wake and maybe get a Bereavement discount.
Lew: With all the folks coming to the Big Banana Wake, I will only want to be in West Palm Beach for one day. Don't want to miss out on any straifing or Silver bulllets or big fun!
No front end loader required!!
How many vehicles required? Maybe one postage stamp.:cool:
I don't want to wake, I mean wax nostalgic but I think Denny deserves a break.
Here's a great image from POG I, which wasn't that long ago.
You'll see Mayor Elmira, the kingpin for this next Florida event.
Here's a forgotten link in case folks want to see how this whole thing got started.
http://www.prevost-stuff.com/rallypicsday2.html
In nearby Port Salerno, they will be hosting their 2nd Annual Seafood Festival on Saturday, January 26 from 10 - 6. Fresh, local seafood, live entertainment, artists and craftsmen (whatever that means) and more.
From personal experience, there are some real nice restaurants in Port Salerno, so, for those planning to attend, this might be something of interest.
Also, I have it on good authority from the grand poobah of the Home Owners Association here, that references to a "rally" will not be a problem. So we can call it anything we like.
:cool:Paul: Now this is news we can use. I will meet with the food director and see that we get a trip out to Port Salerno for din din.
I will look forward to the next edition.
Ok, Paul if it is a rally we will come. We can only stay for Thursday and part of Friday though as we will be on our way to Daytona for the 24 Hour Race.Quote:

Count us in we'll be coming up from Naples
Lew, so what do we have to do now? Do we all have to check in with the ORA folks and make reservations, do we have to make a deposit, or are they just going to hold spaces because you are telling them we will be coming?
This has the potential of getting bigger than Branson...it is already bigger than POG I.
And if we have to make our reservations do we call it a wake, a banana or a rally, or just a bunch of bus drivers getting together?
Yes Lew I am confused also. Post # 7 in this thread said Karen and I wanted to be included. Is that good enough ? Should we call over there ? Is there a secret code to use ? Should I post my credit card # on this thread ?
Just give me your credit card number, expiration date, the code on the rear, and your social security numbers and birth dates. I'll handle everything.
Jon, if you need help with that, just let me know......
Anyway, Lew is keeping track of the numbers, or so I hope.
There are 142 new sites that have recently been constructed here, but are not yet available for use. Outdoor Resorts had expected to open the new section by October 1, but that didn't happen for a number of reasons. They are currently finishing the major work on the golf course and waiting for a couple of City/County/Whatever approvals.
I spoke with their general manager today, and he feels that they will be able to start renting spaces in the new section within the next week or so. This is critical because, without those spaces being available, there will be a problem accommodating the number of members that have expressed an interest in this event.
My advice is to call now and make a reservation. You can mention that you are part of either the Poppleton or Horner group and they'll know to keep everyone together. There will absolutely not be a problem doing so IF the new section opens for rentals before the rally.
We're also working on some free passes that we will need to distribute either before or during check-in. However, they have not arrived here yet. We'll keep everyone posted.
Jon
You are so BIG hearted your shirt is coming unbuttoned. My info is in the mail.
Paul, Would you be so kind as to post the phone # for us ? I keep trying to post the numbers Jon asked for but something in the software keeps rejecting them.Quote:

Hope this helps....
Oh hell Paul, now they have to show up if they register. This is supposed to be a fund raiser for us. Why didn't you give them the #'s that we use?
Live and learn, damn!
Are the rumors correct in that: Honorable Clarence Thomas is joining the POGGERS?
He'll straighten out all of the rules committee. There goes the rules. I knew it would happen. After you guys made up all of the guidelines that we go by, down comes the JUDGE.
Nothing new here at ODR and that makes it boring.
I'll make it a point to talk to the girls at the office tomorrow so you guys don't get a "what the hell is a POG " from the finest office help. You probably have come across that already.
In addition to the 2 day passes (we hope) you can get a 15% off on the remaining days if you are a member of FMCA. Now, for some unknown reason, if you receive the 15% discount on the remaining days, you must pay by check or cash. What cheapskates. Apparently they don't want to pay the cc fees and give the discount. Sounds to me that they are "knocking down", doesn't it.
Meds have been taken. Maybe I overdosed.
Deb Faires, husband Eric, and son Jay plan to attend. We look forward to meeting you all. Thank you.
ODR at HHI only allows discounts with cash or check too, you can use cards for reservations or to pay for your site but no discounts if you use plastic.Quote:

Secure your valuables, hide your kids, lock your doors, get milk and bread, be forewarned -we will come.l:cool:
yea- also order great weather.
And Lew, Paul, and company......Be advised we TN rednecks will be looking for an oyster shack with cheap and plentiful oysters on the half shell. We will need assistance.
In 2 days in Mobile prior to the Kerrville rally three of us (Lady Di thinks we are nuts) ate in excess of 320 of the slimy suckers.

They have raw Oysters unshucked if you like to pass the time or you can steam them or even microwave them a bit and their easier to open but not cold and raw anymore they way I think we all like them. Bring your heavy duty glove and ice pick but besides the Oysters, they have jumbo shrimp, Tuna steaks, Basa (a fish I'd never heard of or tried but is awesome), alligator, an assortment of other neat stuff, again, all from the Gulf and mostly all from Louisiana. A guy packs the fresh stuff in LA. with ice and they drive non stop to this guy and some other restaurants to deliver I guess. I think the name of the palce is Capt N' Jerry's. Google it up if you want and you can see how close it is. Should be 3 miles or less. They have fresh stuff and also frozen fresh stuff. You'll want to make sure you have free space in your freezer to stock up on this stuff as it's A+.
I'll tow my 22' Deep Vee open fisherman all set up for........we'll fishin'. Bring your favorite fishing pole and tackle box if you want to take your chances on the water with me. It has has dive tank holders if any of you dive. I'm bringing a dive set up and a spear gun and gonna hover 15 feet below and try to stab somthing to bring back to camp for show and tell. I'll be lucky to catch bait but the good news is there's a big built in ice chest to fill with beer which is an intergral component to not carring if the fish are bitting.
Note. I am not an expert......correction....a novice fisherman. I just own a good offshore fishing boat. Bring your lucky lures and lucky, sting baited up fishing hat and a pole. If we don't catch anything, we can stop by Capt'N Jerrey's on the way back and throw the fresh fish in the cooler. "Yup, jumped right in boat so fast that they jumped right out of their skin and already to fry up".
Hope to meet you all there.
I don't shuck....I eat. Maybe Micki can be talked into shuckin.
I also don't do deep sea fishing. the last (and only) time I went they called it deep sea puking.
So that is why Viagra's stock has dropped; too many POGers eating oysters.
Denny:
I don't think it sounds quite right to use the words, "Viagra" and "dropped," in the same sentence.
It just doesn't sit quite right. Maybe we can get some input from those are more knowledgeable in such things?
Viagra equals no drop
No viagra equals drop
It is very simple: no tickee no laundry
Denny,
on another note, when's the convoy leaving Ohio for the Banana Republic?
Orren,
Not sure yet, hope to be at ORA on the 25th. Trying to figure out a couple of other stops/visits either before the rally or after. At this time I am not sure. I will let you know when I confirm my schedule
No man, we ain't going 10 miles out although that boat will go 30. We just putz around in the Intracoastal and go bar hoping at the water front restaurants or something. If it isn't choppy we could stick our nose out in the Ocean and go out a couple miles and troll but I'm not the type to sit out there for hours and fish. Is somebody towing a truck so we can get it down to a ramp ? If not, I'll try putting it in with the bus but someone have a cam corder rolling so when the bus falls into the water we can at least get the 10,000 prize from the Home Video contest.Quote:

Y'know.
On a more serious note:p...while Jeff is now in Florida and I expect him to be for some time, I want membership to know about a commitment he made to me ( and my family :D) to provide kindling for our woodstove through the winter of 2007-2008. This was a contractual agreement that involved a large transfer of funds from Prevost-stuff.com headed in JPJs direction. Jeff now has a beautiful woodshop and his scraps of dry oak, cherry and maple could produce the btus we need to stay warm.
Shame on you JPJ! :mad: Oh, and you are probably wondering why I posted in this category? Because I have a feeling this may be an extended stay for Jeff in FLA and I wouldn't be surprised to see him at Lew Popp's. Lew, when you see him, give him the Dicken's won't ya?:eek:
Jim
Skiffer,
What a buddy he is! It's colder than a witches hickee in Lobster Land and JPJ takes that opportunity to haul ass to FL with sandals and socks in place. He called me from south of Savannah around Tuesday and said he was almost to the sunshine state and was laughing about the nor-easter heading your way and you freezing your nads off.:o
A real buddy would have asked before he left it he could help you with some woodsy stuff since a storm was in the forecast. But Nooooooo, he hauls ass and leaves the Skiff man and family (new baby and all) woodless.:mad:
Not good sock man, not good at all......:(
Roger...
We all know what it is like to push a rope or chain up the road. The only way to do that is to apply some Viagra to it. It will straighten things out.
Jeff , the shame, oh the shame. How can you enjoy a minute in Florida knowing skif and family are FREEZING
I am with you brother Jon, I get so sick, I get that look on my face, like Truk on the throne, when he realizes all the TP has been jacked by the tacotourists :)
I like the ocean, but I get sick on a harbor dinner cruise, inside the breakwater.. Not my thing

We will need a count a few days ahead of the arrival time so the cookee can prepare to have enough.
Now understand, we are not footing the bill for the dinner. A local vendor who installs outdoor kitchens here puts on a feed for us once a month. You guys just lucked out so let me know so he can be prepared.
I have no Mobil Travel Guide to judge the quality but this guy's no dummy.
Lew's right. The folks putting on the rib cook-out have been around this bend before, and their past offerings have been very well received.
Arrive hungry, but my advice is, don't arrive late..... the locals here will descend on a free meal like jacals on a carcass.
ok, i haven't been here for a few days - as i recall, it was just "tell lew and he'll take care of it"Quote:
Just say that you want to come and I will write your name down.
has that changed?
curious in titusville
Just went for a ride in LewLand and surveyed the lots proposed for the Florida mini-rally. This is a mighty fine place, with lots begging for some POG coaches to occupy, brand new with plenty of electrical service...palm trees too.
The Lewsters need to have a count soon on how many coaches are planning to attend the mini-rally in order to make arrangements.
In a ridiculous attempt at trying to organize this event, it would be pretty nifty for people to post here, PM the Lewman and Kathy, send 'em an email, call them or send up smoke signals.
They already have made arrangements for a free BBQ Rib dinner for the POG assemblage and are eager to make this rally work.
So how about it?
Looks like it will be a great deal of fun: They need a count.
OK. I'll shut up for now.
Thanks.
