Vlad, you should remember that by now! It's called Captain Morgan's Spiced Rum!

Here is the Cub that Carl owns:

It sure is sweet, huh?

P.S. Were you talking about the Jackelope? They are very rare! Steve was lucky to get a shot off and make it hit home! He must be good! He needs a butt monkey for his collection too!

Jackelope it is. Steve is the best what a cool guy never saw RVs though.

Piper was different, bluish. It was parked by Noah's 7.

Vlad, I am PROUD to be your cousin!

I didn't know that you had a desire to be Italian! hahaha

:wink:

Michele says that you must bring her chocolates AGAIN each year for her birthday and you have got a deal!

:lol:

I will keep you all posted as to the date of the ice fly in at Bald Mountain. I am SURE that Steve will be most accommodating.

I am not sure we could have nearly as nice weather as we did this past year. It was WICKED NICE!!!

Let's do a SUMMER Fly in!!!

I might be around for a few minutes on the 5th, but most likely we are headed north to see Kris's family. Kris's dad has bone cancer and every day is special that she can be near him.
