Hey, I pass that ship wreck when I'm traveling the QEW in Ontario. By any chance did the travel agent give you the temperature at your destination? I'm sure Jampy and TedS know the one I am referring to.


Don't tell Shiner and CB, but when they take these vacations we have a huge party at their house. Shhh, invitations will be arriving tomorrow.

Ahh, that brings back fond memories - I mean to this day there isn't a day that goes by that I am not sorry for my actions and I told you I will pay for the repairs.

I've sent you the bill three times and it keeps coming back "Addressee Unknown"?? :nono:

won't work. my dear friend and coworker is going to be here constantly to take care of katiebear, so you will be screwed if you try to come here and play House. :D
 
Dang it CB! Play house!? That made me think of Strum and Warren playing house, and with Warren's record and propensities, I did not like the visual.

Yikes! Hide your pancake pans.
 
Awesome pics! I'd love to get there someday.

My uncle is down there now doing some tile work in a friends house. He did fly American. LOL He's not overly worried about being stuck down there though.

Have a ball guys!
 
hey i'm good at playing house...we'll bring your coworker to the darkside quickly with a special batch of pancakes! :pancake:

see ya soon strum!!

ww :D

Heh, heh, Strum, Warren, SVL, Dread (hey, where the hell ya been Dread, we've been missing you), and the rest of my Fretter friends, y'all are more than welcome to our house anytime ya want. Hell, I bet CB and I'll even help ya tear it up! But ya' gotta buy the beer. Considering what my Home Depot bill is going to look like after entertaining y'all, I think that's the least you can do.:beer:

Oh, Warren, you can make the pancakes the next morning.:pancake:

BUT . . . if you're going to have a party that big, there ain't no way you're doing it while I'm away. You'll just have to wait a week.:rockon:
 
Hey were you not supposed to smuggle me down there (something about a suitcase;) ) the next trip?? What happened.I guess I could call American Airlines:rotflmao: :beer:

CB, I think you and Shiner should send the D'aquisto and the Fender to me for uhh...safekeeping while you're gone. There's no telling what kind of debauchery would ensue with Warren and Strummy together, unsupervised. I'm afraid your lawyer friend might not be able to draft the protective order, keeping them a half mile away from the house, fast enough...;)

Shiner, you and CB have a great time in the Bahamas! It should be just about perfect weather there this time of year. The water is just beautiful.:AOK:

Hey, I just realized... They don't have Shiner beer in the Bahamas! What do you do for a substitute?
 
it's the Islands, mon.

RUM. :D

and Kalik. ;)

start off with Kalik about noon, switch to rum in the evenings.

throw in some chonch fritters, a beach, and a guitar...

it's a week of Corona commercials with special audio. :rotflmao:

Hey, go!!!!

Don't forget to leave the keys under the mat and if you forget, we'll find our way in.

Now go and leave all the mental stress behind.

well, did a last minute weather check... they are actually getting a cold front/storm when we fly in tomorrow... will only be in the 70's all week... :)

water may be a bit cold. guess we'll just have to drink a couple before snorkeling... need antifreeze.
:beer: :beer:

getting ready to leave before too long, just wanted to say we'll miss you guys... but promise to take lots of pics and play lots of guitar! :rockon:

[and i can FINALLY start duma key tonight! :AOK: ]

Don't worry to much CB n Shiner.went there when lived in Florida,even the so called cool temps are warm and the water is warmer usually.
anywho have a good time - just be off the street by sun down..

Don't know where in the Bahamas you are headed but if you get the chance check out Paradise Island.the other half of Nassau you will not want to leave.Yes it is that good.if anyone has seen the Gambling tournements held there near the Atlantis hotel you would know what I meant.unfortunately by the time you two may read this it might be too late
 
Weeeee're Baaaaackkk... :D

walked in about 20 min ago.

1st, an editorial correction to the pics that Shiner posted... the one in the water w/me & the stingrays + the pic with the locals were actually both in the Caymans, not in the Bahamas.

but short synopsis... [too late for pics tonight]

we had a WONDERFUL trip... played every night on our back porch and had a small group that would listen to us jam and really seemed to appreciate it... that was tres cool.

best private beach of any resort we've been to, hands down. snorkeled in a netted off area that had... i want to call them giant 'brain corals' but that's not right, they didn't have crenelations... think of giant mushroom cap corals, the size of half to full-size vw bugs... that was where the fish would be... we saw what had to be a two to two 1/2 foot parrot fish that we were checking out, and the other fish were so tame they would swim along with us while we checked stuff out...

and we had our own private junkanoo last night... that absolutely THRILLED me, i'd never seen a junkanoo... [i'll do a link to that in the morning... i'm too tired right now] last night, about sundown, i kept hearing a brass band warming up, and thinking [i didn't remember passing a school to get to the resort...] when i joined shiner at the main bar... sure enough, i heard them in high gear in the forefront of the resort... they played in full head-dress and gear through the open aired theater, in through the main restaurant, into the main bar, then out by the pool... just an infectious, wonderful thing to see. then they took a break out by the pool, all got drinks, then junkanoo'd in reverse... i wish we'd had cameras with us, that is one thing we didn't get pics of...

then, one of my abso wonderful memories of this trip forever.

this morning, i fulfilled a childhood dream.

i took trapeze lessons, and did two full exercises. Billy, the headmaster over the trapeze troupe, wanted me to stay and learn a new move and go again, but we had to get finished packing and ready for the airport. and yes, shiner has pics, so it DID HAPPEN!!! [happy dance... i've wanted to do that since i was four]

all in all, it was just what the doctor ordered. ;)

Kris, if your friends were down there, we didn't see them, sorry!

Player, we've been to Nassau/Paradise island twice, and have done the atlantis tour. tres cool. the only thing is that Nassau is getting too commercialized for our taste, we love the more rustic islands/resorts... you get to socialize more with the locals, and get a true feel for the culture and the people that way. :)

missed y'all, will get some pics up later this weekend!!!

Welcome back - now go get some rest.

It's great to hear you had a nice vacation.

I hope we left the house clean enough for you, cleaning all those pancakes up was a pain in the...., you would think "you know who" would be cleaner. The rest of the gang loved the guitars and we threw out all the pizza boxes.

Anyway, looking forward to pics and tell Shiner I said hello.
 
glad you enjoyed the gits. :D the house, unlike last time, was remarkably clean, y'all get extra points for that.

have yet to find a blueberry or syrup in any cranny.

y'all did good. :bravo: :beer:
