Ask Noey.......... I'm just the piano player.....
Which reminds me......
The hurricane thing that came through last summer blew the Wooden Boat birgee off the telephone pole at the end of the driveway, and the AT&T guys stole the Grenada flag that was there last week.... So I'll probably ask Noey to stand you up out by the road, so people know where to turn.....![]()

Annex location. Now that sounds interesting...
Carter has been on me about coming to this party since we worked together a couple of years ago. Now that I've got my own wooden boat, I'm going to try and make it a stop on a steam to Cape Cod for the week. We'll be coming up from Norwalk in the afternoon and would love some advice on where to drop the hook for the night and perhaps some ground transportation options.
Assuming we can make it back to the boat that night, we'll just sleep on board.
Soundbounder - if you're there it will be a pleasure to finally meet you.
The closer it gets, the more I feel deprived (depraved?) for not coming. There's always next year, though I've been saying that for three years now.
Go to kayak.com right now and book your flight. If you want we can pick you up at Detroit Wayne Airport or TF Green in Rhode Island or anywhere in between. Once you're in Mystic you won't even need a rental car. Y'all can sleep in lefty's shop and aboard the fishing schooner at Mystic for $15.00 a night.
Abbott's is calling!

I never learned from a man who agreed with me.
Good deal! Dinner Tuesday! PMs appropriate at any time!
We can't make it to the WBS or EBS. Going to Nova Scotia to get our new/old boat. Fingers crossed for good weather all along the coast!

We are staying in the Days inn in Branford
Hey, Lefty! Sorry, man - can't make it... again! HAve fun & pass on my regards to everyone.
rbgarr - when & where are you coming to NS?
Hope for the best, but plan for the worst.
I should skype in from France. email me your skype ID![]()

Maybe you could get Carter to get your IT guy to figure out your wi-fi password this year. Then we could post live updates from our fancy electronical doodads during the party.![]()
and here I thought it was such a simple thing...:P
Hey! It's MY Hughniverse!
Lefty, we're gonna need a safe launching area, and someone sober to launch these 1.75" artllery shells I'm bringing. Perhaps a small plywood bulwark to protect the crowd from misfires would be a good idea too. . .

Please remember that alcohol and fireworks don't mix. Hey, y'all, hold my beer and watch this!

Yet another reversal of plans (which surprises exactly nobody!)...
Debby and I have re-arranged other expectations and we'll be up Friday afternoon for the festivities. We'll bring some "chipotle ketchup", some "universal red sauce", and maybe some "mustard/beer butter". Don't need a place to camp out - we've got that covered....
See you all there.![]()

Excellent!
Got the card back. Thanks.
Well... Becca got my card, while I parked illegally on the curb. Cruise ships tourist have little sense of humor for big old loud trucks parked on their sidewalk.
So while going home Becca tells me "there was nobody at the desk, but I saw your credit card, grabbed it, and left." Debating on calling the girl back, or just not worrying about it.

You always were my favorite, Uncle Duke.

This is what the signs indicating more or less where to go, will look like.... Some may not have Chuck's portrait of Margo on them....
