I need to pay for the trip. . gas is pricey. . and then there's food. . . . . .$250 will cover my expenses for the weekend.
Oh yeah Kris... the Lay-z-boy chairs you were so fond of last year got wet when the water level got up into our clubhouse.. they are in the dumpster...

Who's the gay guy in the picture Chris?? I saw you posted something about gas being pricey. Have you looked at the pump yet? Are you still paying 4.50 a gallon or something? I bought gas yesterday for 2.15.

At 9 miles to the gallon. . it gets pricey

I'm really disappointed about the chairs .. let me check with Good Will to see if I can find at least one replacement. . preferably in chartreuse velour. . . so all the "Gay guys" can have someplace comfortable to sit while all the Manly Men run around outside getting wet, sodden, cold, and miserable. . . .

Please note. . the "Gay guy" in the pic is dressed in a sleeveless workout shirt, shorts and tennis shoes with no socks . .the grass is brown . . there are no leaves on the trees .. . and the pic is dated 2-3-2003. . what season is it?

Yes, the chairs got a little soggy when the shack went under water.

I got some disappointing news today...
My son is in Cub Scouts, next year he goes to Boy Scouts...The same weekend as Huckfest, the cub scouts (and their dads) are supposed to go camping with the Boy Scouts.

That's not the painful part.... the campout is just down the road from GMA! I'll be able to hear the engine noise, maybe smell burnt fuel... but I'll be with a bunch of kids trying to start a fire with sticks or something.

Oh well...
