Mini Impromptu NC Reunion

Good one!

Thanks to this thread, I've got Wham stuck in my head "wake me up before you go go"

Well Lisa, since you brought it up, remember this picture of Chris Jr number one? I don't think we need any more of these little quinner's running around.   



Fortunately, my two have been rendered non-reproducible, and for the benefit of all mankind, hopefully quinner has been too.    

JBEAR is in DA HOUSE!!! Yes folks, he's still alive and showed up tired and weary (and thirsty) this evening in NC after his ride in from TN. He's anxious to get back on The Site here and will possibly catch up on the computer tomorrow (Thurs) while I'm showing my face at work. I'm feeling overly grateful to have him and Patty AND THEN the Chicago clan, and hopefully a handfull of others showing up. Christmas come early.       

Reid.....Yor sick man!!! Fell out of my chair laughing!!

Reid, Jbear and other dudes: have a great time! Wish I were there to join you.

Reid,
I am bummed that I cannot make the party at your place.
With the newborn baby I need to hang with the wife and help out !! We both have not gotten very much sleep in the past few days. I talked with Boat Dr today about the 1958 Starflite down here at Wylie and I will be emailing him pics tommorrow.
After a few weeks I will be able to play !!
Trying to figure out when I can get the baby in to one of the boats for a ride!!

Cheers !!
Mike

I will be there for sure !!
Thanks,
Mike

Laurie & Reid,

Outstanding host for the weekend. You guys have a great place on Lake Norman & enjoy sharing it with friends & even people you have never met. Can't thank you enough for opening up the Pinkham Plantation to all of us for the weekend. Your local friends are great as well. They pitched in to help provide food, boats, run errands, whatever was needed you all stepped up to provide & never ask for anything in return. Please extend my thanks again to each & everyone one of them when you see them next. It was great to meet Hollywood, Quinner, Johnny, & Maddie from Chicago & Jbear & Patti from Florida. You guys make it easy to take off & drive 4 hours to hang out with people you meet on the internet. Some great barefooting this weekend even you all can't keep with Eddie! I can't wait till the next time Tom & I can meet up with all of you (and hopefully more next time)to hang out for the weekend.

Thanks again to all for the great weekend & I have a lot of pics to get posted when I get a chance.


And Jbear, I don't ski after dark, it is against the law!

Now we just need some pics from this weekend. WOW what a blast guys I'm so glad to see everyone agian. Hope to do it agian sometime.   Next time I will work on the sking part lol

I got the 1st keg on friday at 330 by 5 on Sat it was gone and Jonny and I went to get the 2nd one.

I just realized my memory card with most of my pictures is at home. I will try to post those tonight. Here are a couple.

All the young guns getting ready to be schooled by master Eddie.





They did get the 6 man, but pics at home. Here is the 5 man. L to R: Hollywood, Johnny, Nautique John, Jbear, Quinner.

What a great weekend! Reid and Laurie were the best hosts ever, and the Pinkham compound is a boaters paradise! There was at least 7-10 boats on Reid's dock at all times, each one with an open invitation to drive. It was great to get to see some of the friendly faces from Green Lake so soon after. Meeting Tom, Greg, and Jbear was awesome as well. Barefoot Eddie (seen in skicat's) second picture is a freak of nature, barefooting through chop many couldn't handle with a ski on! The 5 and 6 man barefoot runs were great to be a part of, 6 was a personal record for me. And yes the rumors are true...Reid is a hell of a driver, perfect pulls every time. Reid and Laurie, thank you so much for having us, it was one of the best weekends of the summer for sure!

Nicely stated Johnny, and once again Reid and Laurie are so awesome, Reid drove for all the multi-man foot run's and did an exceptional job with that awesome bowtie powerplant, Ruck kept us well fed the entire weekend and Nautique John kept us skiers skiing, footin and wakesurfin, JBear was like a teenager and quite a trooper when I took him out along with myself on one of the 6 man runs, it was great meeting Tom and Greg, really looking forward to seeing all Greg's photo's, Josh was instrumental in keeping the cold beer flowing and Jerry keeping the boats organized and running, Reid's compound is party central and could easily be confused for a marina with all the boats in and around his piers. Thanks So Very Much to Reid and Laurie along with all the others that made this one of the best weekends ever!!

Maddie and Chris

PS, forgot to mention Boatie and Skipper, the 2 lucky dog's who Maddie played with for hours on end.

Looks like you all had a great time!!!

Wish i could have attended!

Paul,

Guys,
I wish I could have made it !! Instead of Keg Stands, I was doing diaper changes and hand offs of the baby to Steph for feeding time. Parent hood is great but I still hate I missed the Party at "The Pinkham's "
The pics are great looks like a great time was had by all !!
Mike
