Right Coast Florida Mini POP Rally

It's really strange that no one has posted the picture of the hot air balloon that landed about four lots from Rogers' coach at 8:15 Saturday morning.

Jon of course took pictures with the Foster coach in the foreground, but of course ol' Jon won't share anything such as that until he gets home and invents the wheel.

As for Jeff Bayley, he and Stefanny arrived after closing Tues nite and we parked him as close to Jon as we could. He was drinking juice at 9 AM and had trouble navigating his bicycle around the park all day. He made sure he was never too far when the juice ran out.

Tonite, Jon, Di, Roger, Micki, Jeff and Stefanny went out for raw ?????
Don't know the results of the evening but will find out in the AM.

I told Jeff when he came in, "you could "f "up a one car funeral".

I was about to say hello to Bob Phoebus from Marathon and all of a sudden a scream was let out and I looked up and Jeff was on the other side of the cart. I must apologize to Bob for the interruption.

I have had a ball babysitting these guys but thay have to realize I do not own the park, I just live here. We've had a good time and look forward for the next POG visit whether it be one POG member or several. No where in hell we get the deal we got on this mini rally. The price will never be as good.

I had better shut up before I get into more hot water.

Dale and Jan, it was 80 today and will be tomorrow. What are you doing?

Thanks Lew, I just looked and it's 6 degrees. It should be around 20 tomorrow.

Hows this Lew ? The pictures are from my cell phone. I'm sure Jody has better shots, I know Roger doesn't have any pictures because he slept through the whole thing!

Lew and Kathy where gracious enough to help us bust in after hours. Thank you guys. I meant to ask you how the passes came to be available and forgot to inquire with you but expect that it was by your good graces and your doing, so thank you and hope your don't regret letting us in. Too soon to tell.

Guilty as charged with the juice drinking. That's "power juice" Lew and it allows me to bike around invisably you see. I'm still perfecting the formula before unveiling it. That's how I snuck up on you iand surprised you in turn 3 behind your golf cart. Navigating around the park on the bike should be better tommorow when I take my GPS with me (juice proof and shock resistant I hope). I'll try to wait until at least 10am tommorow.

Oh Lew, after Jon, Di, Roger, Micki droppped us off after dinner (Raw Oysters is what it was by the way), Stefanny and I went for a late night bike ride with the juice. I have to get a cup holder for the bike (umm, juice holder). With one hand handeling the "juice" and only one left to steer with, a tradegy happened. I crashed in the street. Man, I used to really be good on a bike. A full cup of "juice" ended up on the road along with me and my bike. Nevemind about the bleeding foot, the tradegy was the fallen full cup of "juice" and I was all the way on the other side of the park and completley inconvinient to get a refill. I passer by was kind enough to say "are you ok?" and the first thing I asked him was "where are you parked?". He said "Why? Do you need a band aid?" I said, "No, I don't need a bank aid, I need a refill on my drink dang if and I'm parked all the way on the other side somewhere". Thought for sure they were fellow juicers since they were able to see me even though I was invisable but alas, only helpful coffee drinkers out for a stroll; useless for juice refill. Nice people though. Good vision. Nice neighboorhood. Streets a little maze like when your drinking "juice" but it was fun doing double time through the maze looking for a bus that resemebled mine. Stefanny wouldn't let me go back out and play after we returned to base. I got grounded and was not allowed back on my bike without a crash helmet. The only helmet around had two juice holders on either side with a straw leading to the mouth. I saw this a great safety device since it would allow both hands to stay on the handelbars but the inspector said that didn't count and would make my bike insurance rates go up.

I'm taking my portalbe air horn tommorow so as not to startle anyone in the golf carts and announce my presense for safe passing. I forget if it's one or two toots on the horn for left or right passing. Guess I'll just pass on which ever space is left when they turn the wheel 90 degrees involentarily from the horn and make a hole. I'm invisable so this horn is really going to help. Just joking Lew and if they catch me, I won't implicate you in anyway. I'll explain I'm out from the funny farm on a day pass. I'll make sure to use hand signals and observe the speed limit on the bike. I be good boy.

Jeff,

Thanks for the muscle in helping me with the TV, the juice must work! Thanks to Jon also, but he was quivering a little so some juice may help his old bones.

As for Lew, it's hard to catch him in between his med's and he gets happy when eating Mexican.

Truk- Talking about Mexican, I couldn't even bribe the waitress into gettin the kitchen to whip up make shift order of Nachos at Outback the other night. "We don't even have any chips" she says. Rest of the food was great. Jon's criteria for picking out restaurants is that it's no more than 5 minutes away and that's good for me if I have to walk home if the gang ditches me.

Last night we tracked down the Raw Oysters. Had to make a 16 mile trip for that one. Nottin around here. Asked and asked and everybody said "Nuttin Honey". I think we polished off about 10 dozen between 6 of us. I couldn't shut my pie on the way home about trying to pull some GAG's at TN. POG ralley so I think I'm gonna Gag myself today and try to practice not talking too much. That's a tough one for me. I'm going to lay off the sauce (ummm "Juice" today too). That is at least until after 12 of course. I think there's a pool around here somewhere. I went swimming last night but it's hard to get any traction in nothing but a spilled drink in the middle of the road. Tried but no luck> So I read the drink it's last rights and moved on.

We'll, we got to Florida POG just in time to. Plenty of spaces to choose from as you can see. Last to leave. The others were going to stay longer but by some strange coincidence, emergencies came up after they met our acquaintance and they had to make early departures. One had to re-arrange their sock drawer and the other one said something about going to put needles in their eyes. Hmmmm, strange coincidence is all.

I've got my new form of "Juice" I'm showing off. Spilling fresh Vodka just too expensive.

Thank you Lew and Kathy for the passes again.
