Let me say this - with those two in the room there's never a dull moment! I sure hope they're getting home in good order with no snags. They are supposed to be flying Monday.

We're back!! Landed at 6:30am and in the office by 10:30am! Pete got home safe too. If it wasn't for the photos, I would deny all knowledge of being there :shock:

Man.......I got REALLY wasted.......once again SORRY STEVE!! :oops:

I think I speak for Pete as well when I say we had just the best weekend (and the worst hangover ever!.........well maybe that was just me?) It was great to meet up with all of our forum friends, some for the first time and I hope NOT the last. Thanks to Jeff and Shari for making it all happen and Jeff, please thank your friend Dave for dinner Saturday night, he was a real gent! Even though I insisted Pete pay the bill, Dave grabbed it.....THANK YOU!!

My only regret was not being able to spend more time talking to all of you guys. It is a truly special group of people we have here, let's not ever forget that! Can't wait to do it all again..........although next time............NO SHOTS!!!!! :lol:

I'm home safe and sound too. I can only echo what Graham has said apart from the best bit for me was hearing Graham turning himself inside out in the shower the following morning. :lol:

It was great to actually meet so many forum members in one go. Apart from Graham (who doesn't count anyway) I think that Paul B. was the only person in the room that I had actually met in person before then. Jeff and Shari, you both did a stirling job getting the whole thing together.

I'll have to admit that I too over indulged slightly with the alcohol that evening but unlike Graham I am a Yorkshireman and Yorkshire folk don't easily part with things that have been paid for!

Luckily for me Graham fell asleep in seconds that night so at least I didn't have to go through him saying "Did I tell you that I love you Peter, hic, you're my best friend in the whole world, hic, I didn't disgrace myself tonight, did I? hic, Ohhh, I think I'm going to be... BLEAURGGGH". :lol: :lol: :lol:

Word of warning if you ask Graham if he is going to get sick and he says.."Not Yet..." Go ahead and pull over.... :roll:

It could have been much worse Tammy, he could have been sitting between us in the back with no window access.

Graham.. I have never laughed so hard or smiled so much it was well worth the trip! (the laughter part I mean)
Peter..Yewww (on second thought that pretty much guarantees you window access doesn't it?)

If I recall correctly there was a toasted girl in a denim skirt, and that tatooed girl that swore like a sailor..(no offense to any sailors out there) But you were definetly in the top three... and I was definetly laughing with you... only once or twice at you.. you can absolutely reserve the right to return the favor at you first opportunity! :D

Graham, I know what went wrong. You went to a Rick confluence, then went drinking with a Fender shirt on. That combo doesn't mix well. :mrgreen:
I can tell I'm right, by the pic of you with Jeff S and Jeffy T. :lol:
