Hi J & J, Having work lined up for Steve is not a problem. Still have all the things that Jeri and Teri, Jerry and Janice left undone. However if he keeps on eating those CRAB, I might have to with hold the location of the Baaaaaad Whiskey for a while. Joe

IYQ, take care. Back trouble is no fun. And you know there is no way on earth that this bunch is gonna play nice. Steve, glad to hear you guys are settled in over on the other side of the water. My Spies told me you weren't gonna get into Flagler though. Careful on how many of those Crab you eat, remember YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT. Joe

Nope, got a call from several of the spies along that route. Actually deployed a couple of them to help herd you into the Elks without any damage. HMMMMM guess I'm gonna have to see if there are any Crab left this weekend now. I do konw where a wee bit of that Baaad Whiskey is also. Joe

Hey don't go to the Beer Garden, you could end up forgetting why you are there. And since you are now in position to decoy Steve, GOOD LUCK. Joe

Well things here at the Resort have sure quieted down now. A mass exodus started about 7:15 this morning. Heard a motor start up and by the time I got to the Office Door Jeri and Teri were heading down the road. Jerry was standing in the middle of the park with a puzzled expression on his face. Said something about Jeri wanting to be early for the Ferry. So the rest of us sat around and had Coffee then about 9 or so Jerry and Janice took off for parts unknown. Had a great time visiting with all of them and made some Jello Ball plans for meeting up somewhere this winter. So now if Steve can get his "Bribe" money together and make it past the Spies there is room for Bessie Bus. I do need to say there is a dent in the Cranberry Juice and the Crab population has been depleted a bit, but the Baaaaad Whiskey came through with only a bit of a battering. Joe

Yep their plan ALMOST worked to perfection. Got a call from the Assistant Manager here at the Resort letting me know the southern branch had arrived. After he carefully checked their reservations he directed them to the 2 least desireable spots in the park. He then left them to their own devices while he made sure the Baaad Whiskey and Wine were secure. While this was going on I was meeting with Customs and TSA making sure that Bessie Bus will get plenty of attention when she re crosses the Border Once everything was in place up by "EH" land, I returned to something akin to the Inmates Running the Asylum. I'm gonna have to break out the Fire Pot for our next evening sitting around. It is great seeing Jeri and Terry and Jerry and Janice all again. And Bandit was glad to see Duchess, he found her stash of treats already. So today I think I'll take the boat out and see if we can't get a few Crab to accept our invitation to dinner. Joe

Well things are getting interesting already. Got a call from one of my Spies letting me know that your getting close. So I turned on the "Cloaking Device" to protect the Cranberry Juice and Baaad Whiskey. Then alerted the Coast Guard so they could move all the Crab. And finally moved "The Doghouse" to a secure location. Joe

HMMMMMM me thinks it's gonna get interesting. Joe

Yep, "THE PLAN" already fell apart. Joe

HAHAHAHAHA wait till you try to make it through the "Road Construction" over here. Got the spies on ALL approaches to Oak Harbor. Dang this Cranberry Juice tastes good tonight. Joe

Yep, Border Patrol was notified 3 days ago. They had a good laugh when you went NORTH, good luck getting back. Joe

Ya, YA, YA, however after today you gonna have to scratch ONE of those items of the list. YOU GET TO FIGURE THAT OUT. Joe

Ok, gotta update things here a bit. Steve if you jess kinda lightly tickle the Warp Drive you can get here before the Hyders. That way we can clean out all the crab, Drink up ALL the BAAAAAD Whiskey, make a serious dent in the Cranberry Juice, and then they can help clean up. Oh and as for the Salmon, 1 of the kids and his family is coming over this afternoon for a BBQ. Joe

HMMMMMMM swounds like you guys had a good day. Heck all I did was bottle more wine and then put it in a safe place. Then I held a briefing with the Security personnel and issued pictures of all you guys. So if, IF your really nice to them you might be able to "sneak up" on me. Joe

Not a problem Steve. The way you guys travel you'll be here before Jerry wakes up from his Steve. There is a place over in north central Washington you might want to see, called Dry Falls. It's in the area around Coulee, WA. Supposed to be fantastic rock formations. Joe

That was probably because it's been so long since you drove your rig you forgot where the BRAKE was. I'm guessing you will need to mow the grass at your site before you move again. Joe

HMMMMM you weren't supposed to see that picture. WOW 5 whole miles, now let's see it's 200 miles from there to here so at 5 miles a day.......................Yep I'll be in Florida before you get here. As for the change in your Reservation, you will need to call the Reservation Manager. Joe

HMMMM now I was thinking it was the Hyders, but then you know how THEY travel. All the crabs will die of old age before they get here. Wow coast to Slumattle and back in one day, I can understand why you were zonked. Today I had to (Jerry and Janice cover your eyes) do a bit of actual WORK. We had a small job to do out at the base, so now I'm thinking it be HAPPY HOUR at Jose's Place. Joe

Jim and Sandie, CONGRATULATIONS. Hope you enjoy your new home. Steve, I'm thinking you best be getting your "Warp Drive" fixed soon. I got word yesterday that several other folks are planning on invading this area between the 1st and middle of next month and they plan to eat ALL THE CRAB. As for me, just hanging out here at the ole Home Base playing around with more Cranberry Juice. Gotta make sure I have a good supply for this winter. Joe

And people talk about the RAIN in the North West. Spent 12 years just a bit north of you there and I still miss the Light Shows during the summer. Nothing like sitting and watching the lightining going crazy out on the plains. As for me I just took "The Doghouse" to the repair shop for a bit of work today and am now sitting here with a glass of Cranberry Juice enjoying some great PNW weather. Joe

That would make the other ones pretty expensive. Last I knew here it was $75.00, but that was several years ago. Decided to save my money yesterday and didn't take the pots out. Actually I found out it is Race Week here and bout the only thing I'd have brought back in was empty pots. Dang Pot Robbers , always happens during Race Week. Joe

I plan on being somewhere in Arizona for part of the winter, just don't know when or where yet. May spend a bit of it in Pahrump with friends there also. All depends on how soon I run outta Jello Balls for looking through as I plan my winter. Joe

Well them folks were WALKING though. Yep it's a prison, got SPRUNG yesterday morning and managed to make it back home. They let me go cause I refused to spend anymore MONEY with them. Thinking about taking the Crab Pots out today or tomorrow and see if I can have another fresh crab feed here. Joe

Dang, sounds like that place is Crabbed Out. Heck I had to throw 8 keepers back last time I went out, well or take the chance of going to jail for way over limit. Joe

HMMMMM must have been Steve and Carol. The way them Hyders been traveling it's gonna take them another 3-4 years to get outta Oregon. So guess your just gonna have to feed them for a while. Say HI for me. Guess I better take the boat back outta mothballs now. Joe
