Florida Mini-Rally

They're not crummy woodburned nametags. THey're high grade FORMICA.

Jeez.

About time your avatar showed some class.

Hi Lew.

Sorry I didn't make it to the mini rally... I'm in bradenton, FL parked in Jeff Bayley's front yard.

I just had too much work to get done. This is my busy time of year... once May rolls around, life will become much more lesuirely.

I'm currently trying to figure out if I'll make it for the last day of the Liberty rally in Stuart. They don't have any parking spaces, but I might drop by. Is anyone else going to be there... I think Steve and Jon were going to be in attendance.

you missed/are missing a good time. have fun in bradenton and stuart.

Mango, Thanks abunch for lunch. I probably wouldn't have given my credit card number to Lew, but, huh, I only have one bus. What was it JPJ ask, when you get ready to go in the bus, is paper or plastic, no it went like this : is it stainless or H?
.
JDUB, you have more friends than I thought, your name certainly came up in discussions - I thought it was a fire, from the smoke. Not only were there Mango Mike Caps, there were Boots & Coots present!

Ben: Sorry we missed ya, see ya at Stuart?

If Jeff posts just half of the pictures he has taken, he'll have a movie. The quality of the pictures varies as shown in the picture of Kathy and myself.

As for being president and etc, you guys and gals know this group is like the "Headless Horseman".

We had a roundabout get together in a little house on TGO last night and Jeff sat with the women. What a break! I'm so damn hard of hearing, I had to heard everything twice. That's tough because most of the stuff was parts #'s that Jon had on the tip of his tongue.

Jon asked to use out computer today and he'll probably use my name to tag on JDUB, so beware.

We ARE NOT THE PRESIDENT AND VP. so relax.

Lew

Son of a gun.

What happens when you get a bunch of people together with big metal campers with no plan and lotsa laughs?

Here it is: http://www.prevost-stuff.com/florida_minipog_rally.htm

Now most of the many people staying, dropping by or visiting added zest to the flavor of those who are at TGO; surprise visits by Fast Roger, King of Bling and his bride Micki, and then along come Mike and Karen Kerley with their western motif (that word is for Lew) fancy Country Coach.

Of course, it will be a shocker on the link to provide the single, only publicly-known documentation of Lew actually spending LewBucks (bookmark that).

Now if we can just get Jon to talk a bit about the fresh water shut off valve on the flush in his camper.

He just doesn't want to discuss it.

Probably because he is a tight-lipped Yankee at heart.

Anyway, the rest of us are having much more fun that adults are supposed to have...!

I hope nobody was hurt when that blue Saturn had the front end damage done to it?????

Gary S

Gary,

Front end damage occured when Lew, completely startled by his good fortune to win the Anal award, fell backward in a blissful swoon. Congratulations Lew.

I'm sure some of non attendees ears were burning during that roundchair discussion. I'm saving up all my juicy tidbits for POG III.

Lew, Thanks for the response on thin slide. We are close, but still not there yet. Keep looking.


How many times did the rent a cop have to come by the group asking you guys to"keep it down"?


mango

Roger,

Now I expected you to defend us from the Dark Side, but between the Outback dinner and the Florida mini, I feel like we will have to exercise some demons at POG 3.

Hey Jerry, what is up with using MangoMikes Mug as your Avitar ? If you are too shy (or embarrased) to put your picture up there, put your beautiful wifes ( Rae ) picture up there.

That would surely brighten up everyones day !

Gary S

Ben.. Please come to the stuart rally. We will be there and would like to say hello. I plan to stay over until Monday P M.

Oh, the mendacity!

Nice CAMPER!

For the life of me, I cannot figure out how Roger would hang out with the likes of Jerry. He always seemed to me to be a really nice person until he cornered me and presented the "Anal Award" (of wich I do not deserve) to me. He has gone way over to the other side since you implanted some sort of chip in his brain at the POGII.

Roger has a wonderful wife and coach. Roger is deteriorating as he listens to the constant crap.

He must have purchased the trophys by the case. The store must have thought he was a Hilton with that many crappers to kee tidy. Oh well.

I hope I don't rip my shirt climbing the fence at Liberty. Are you POG guys considered the GED. ( grand elderly dissadents) They all got their high school thru the GED system.

Lew

So about the damaged Saturn, WHAT HAPPENED! Enquiring minds want to know. If Lew does not
want to tell, maybe someone else could leak the truth.

sorry . . . what happens in titusvillel, stays in titusville . . . until POGIII i'm sure!

Proud New Prevost Coach Owner- JPJ Where am I?

Jody in the Bling Mobile, Looking Great!

Jody, Bill, and Jeff in JPJ's sharp, good looking new coach!
Attachment 851


More later - gotta go do the tourist thingy.

ya'll look like you are having entirely too much fun, especially Jeff:D Great to see you Jody you and Bill are lookin' good!

OK. they say what happens in Titusville stays in Titusville.

Hah!

So for whatever reason the vivacious charming and witty Jody of Bill and Jody fame finds that her car keys are locked inside the car. What would you do? It is night and starting to rain.

Of course, she calls her dad. What a sweetheart, American-style (tears welling in your eyes yet?)

Dad arranges for the AAA guy to show up with a gizmo to open her car door...and now for the ending: All wind up happy. Another reason for a POG party (are we that desperate?)

All's well that ends well.

has anyone seen my wife? she's not answering her phone. and di doesn't know where jon is . . .
. . . and jeff . . . where did you get that pic? i've been in boston in biz since sunday. what IS going on there???????
wmm

and why is my wife calling jon, "daddy"????????

JDUB: Lew has got ya beat on this one: Moral of the story when going out to eat - let the Lewster drive - no walking!
Attachment 854

Kathy does enjoy the Benefit of having Lew around.:cool:

That's why I let my brother-in-law drive. The OU sticker doubles for handicapped parking............

Mango: Hope this doesn't hurt:
Attachment 855

We almost made a wrong turn, but its ok now.
Attachment 856

Hey Bill, not to worry, she didn't say, "who's ya daddy".:D
Where's the bike?:eek:

Fast Roger,

Why is it Mickie looks so "stylin'" and you look like Joe Tourist?

Remember don't spend all your disposable income w/ JB. Save some for that trip to Mango's.

Rodger

Glad to see you down there pickin up the rope where we droped it:)
Some questions
Ever been down there before?
How crowded is Sugarloaf in Feburary?
Think you'll go back?
Hows the food been so far?

We already decided next year we are not moving around central Fla. as much, gonna stay south of Largo for the whole month mabye longer.

Sunset Key just south of 7-Mile bridge, gulf side, 39MM, if Fiesta key closes, is looken like the spot . We will have enough info in May to make the choice.

Oh well. LOOKIN GOOD, don't miss Raymunds Italian at the 21mm:)

i thought that was a ref to paternal indiana parents ... hoosier daddies.
wmm

But, it was great to put faces (the correct ones) with the names and meet Bill and Jody, Jeff and Jon (nice couple). We had already met Kathy and Lew In Port St. Lucie. What a bunch. We had a great time and lots of laughs, but in retrospect, this crowd (membership?) is probably best taken in small, carefully measured doses. To much could have caused aches and pains from laughter.

We had a great time and enjoyed lying about our campers and how trouble free they are. I hope we can get to Texas in April where I'm sure the volume will be turned up and the LPM (laughs per minute count) will increase!!!


Thanks to everyone for being so hospitable.

Mike and Karen

Mike,

You missed a very important get together because you had to mix work with pleasure. What a spoil-sport. Just the same we discussed (or should I say 'they discussed') and said they decided that at Kerrville there would be a place for the stainless in the "posh" area and the plastic (h's) would park near the dumpsters and maintenance away from the class coaches.

"Hoosier Daddy" Jody, the mini would not have been the same without you and the "Hippy Geek".

OOPS, I promised I would be kinder and less aggressive, sorry.

Quote (I hope we can get to Texas in April) End quote. Mike, just put it on the calendar and it will happen.

I'm so curious how many bus's are registared, it seems like a lot are going to be there.

Joe: Sugarloaf is full in Feb, and it appeared all of the Campgrounds were maxed out. We made reservations months in advance, This was the 3rd choice, but wound up being the 1st cg we could get accomodations.

this was our 1st visit to the keys, if I go again I would probably stay in the Northern Keys - The drive time is a little much 35 to 45 mph. took 5.5 plus hours to go 190 miles with no stops. Maybe in Five years or so, they will have the roads equipped to handle the traffic. Key West is a great place to visit and lot of history. As Mango pointed out I did the Joe Tourist Bit for a bit. Would recomend the Rusty Anchor in Key West for seafood. Didn't get a chance to try your suggestion. Would not recommend Hurrican Joes didn't care for it. Weather a little on the cool side

Hey King, be glad your just experiencing cool, here's what it looks like this AM in sunny GA, the hills of TN are probably much worse!:eek:

You lucky dog......

Geesh Tom, I feel so sorry for you -----NOT
85 in Stuart this afternoon, I need some ice! for my beverage. :cool:
Must be a global warming thingy.
Jon still can't get a good internet connection with his puter. He is building up.

Hey Trukman,

Just saw the pix of your backyard. You've got room for TWO BUSSES!

I'll be down shortly.


Mango

couple of shots of the photo evasive lew (and kathy) they really were having fun - i think lew was really hungry, we really enjoyed meeting karen and mike, and jeff finally showed his best side . . .
jody

Mango,

Big red has company, but I can't tell ya!;)

CONGRATS TO BILL AND JODY!
Good Times Had By All!

i've been aimin' to take jon's brush holder away from him, by polish or by shine, but i never expected this.
i want to thank the academy, the producers, and all our fans.
here's to our upcoming season.

You will note that the high-speed exit by the LewMan was affected by the ACE True Value bays on the curbside of his coach. We all think about tire inflation pressures on the steer, drive and tag axles. Lew Man also has the left/right inflation deal to consider.

That's some pretty fancy driving at 62.5 mph on the narrow exit road, considering the speed limit was 15 mph. They may be re-issuing #3 to LewMan, The Intimidator.

Whattaguy!
