Um, yeah ... About PBR ... Most people don't know what a "Patrol Boat, Riverine" is, so we usually use that moniker for the , as the Hamster says, swamp urine that is Philly Beer. Like the Aussies says, "Pabst Blue Ribbon -- That's "Philly" for 'Weasel Urine'."  About Buddy ... He even has a surf board he can ride to the show (both a long board and a short board). Aloha

Sweet, I did have some help the assistant camp commandant got here before I did and laid the groundwork. Mikey arrived about 20 minutes after I did.
See you tomorrow Cosmo, and yes Chris same place as always.
Beautiful night for sleeping last night and an absolutely gorgeous morning this morning.

With the weather forecast and the attendance roster, you can not fail.
Tomorrow, I am going to slip away from here for a couple of hours to run up to the Severn River School for Wayward Youth and spend a little time with my classmates (this is our 30th Reunion), but other than that, I will be right here attending to my duties. Wish I was there ...
Have fun. Be nice to Billy.
Carry out the plan of the day!

I tried my best, but I fell short. I am in the process of getting my truck towed to the house. I am currently 30 miles from the house and even farther from the link up site. It sounds like something let lose inside the engine. Not sure what it is since the rods are still in place, has the correct amount of oil and it didn't overheat. I guess that I will be driving my NEW truck to link up with you guys. Don't worry, I will do my best to keep the beer cold.

There were several other that had some bad luck on the way here, much worse than what you endured. Remember , it could have been worse.
Just got back from the big dinner, delicious pork tenderloin. Everyone is firmly planted in a chair with smiles on their faces too full to move.
Great day here, a little warm but not too bad. Lots of trucks, not sure the total but the show grounds look fairly full.
Hope tomorrow is another great day. We sure miss all of our fellow bolters that couldn't make it.
