[SergntMac]

Dude...I'll get you for that.

Hehehe...Yes, Paul, a delightful event, allow me to add my thanks to Barry and Jessica for opening their home to us. The 4th Annual Eastern Regional Meet, "Marauders Meet The WidowMaker" is in the history books. A great time was had by all, it cannot be done better than this.

A few extra dash plaques are available. If you didn't get yours, or, want a spare, PM Mary.

Paul, wait till I post your picture in a drunken blither.
Cant be worse than me holding Becky's purse.

Thank you all, we can't wait for the next meet that we can attend!

You ALL are not only welcome...but deserving of thanks yourself.

This meet always seems to bring me out of my dim working world and into a place I like to be. At home, and surrounded by friends.;)

Steve was also the victim of quick draw of the camera video that should easily make a television blooper real. :baaa:

I can only imagine what I might have been candidly caught doing.
And god help me, I hope I had my cloths on...:hide:

Barry and Jess,

Sandy, Caitlin and myself had a great time. You have a beautiful place to say the least! :)

Many thanks to you guys for putting this together again!

Let's hear the full story of the 87 octane and the bonfire? :D

Mike.

The Massachusetts contingent is back home safe in their warren. Despite an hour delay in take-off, the flight/ride home was perfect. We left in pouring rain on Wed. and it only stopped raining here yesterday, we were told. Didn't have to worry about watering the grass or window boxes!

This was yet another memorable time with some truly wonderful people. After a great Looseville event, I couldn't wait for June to get here. Thank you, Jes and Bear, for inviting us into your home once again! Your back yard is paradise!

The food was outstanding and if you went hungry, that was your own fault! Key West Pinks: Mike, I've never had swimps that big! Gail, I had another helping of taco salad today! I lost track of the kinds of beer on hand - many fine brews to sample! Jes - the martinis were wonderful! Filets cooked to perfection (thanks MercMan!), haggis and a special beverage (thanks Haggis & Ladyhawke!), flounder, kielbasa, Zack's salsa, veggie pizza......endless selections.

Great big thanks to Big Joe P and Kim for bringing some Jim Beam premiums to raffle off! Mac's raffle donation of Eagle Rare and Rain from Buffalo Trace was a bonus! Thanks for the dash plaques too, Mac! "Marauders Meet the Widowmaker."

Dennis and Sheila - you were missed but we did include you in our toast with Joe and Kim as our newlyweds. We'll post pictures of the wedding cake!

The event wouldn't have been complete without a spectacular nighttime burnout by Bear on the side street. I think the smoke is still hanging in the air!

The MAPS Air Museum was deceiving from the building's exterior. They have an impressive collection of aviation history and are currently restoring one of only 6 remaining Martin B26 Marauders. We enjoyed all the samples at Harry London's and definitely left some coin at the candy store on the way out.

Bear and Jes.....if you'll have us back again next year, it would be a pleasure!!

Who's up for another meet before Oktoberfest in Seymour!! October's such a long way away!

[pantheroc]

Jess and Barry, had a GREAT time. THANKS again for the wonderful hospitality!

Steve and Barry, glad you guys didn't use 100+ octane...all I saw was 20' flames before I could power up and start the camera.

Captured the burnout on vid also!

Chris and I had a wonderful time, thanks Barry & Jess. And thanks to everyone else for making it a great time. BigJoe and Mac thanks for the prizes.

Now on to more important issues, Zack's exhaust. It makes mothers and small children cringe in fear, gives old people heart attacks and makes grown men say; 'WHAT THE F__K!!!!!'.

Zack it sounded great.
