I will partner up with you on the turkeys again..like the last time we did them. Just gotta cleanup faster..remember..we ate hotdogs last time! Where did we get the second cooker last time? john If nobody has one locally I might be able to bring one down

John,
The last two years I fried turkeys, one of the other attendees brought one along to use. I forget who right off the top of my head but it was a different person each year. Sure did work out great though.
You're right about the dogs. Last year, we got a little later start getting the birds cooking than I would've liked. But remember, Jackie had some ignition problems with his boat and we ran escort to make sure he got back OK.

I know I could do it with a single cooker but that would also mean I'd have to start 'em up at least two hours before we wanted to eat. Depending on what activities we get into on saturday, that would kinda suck but certainly doable.

Adam,
That would be cool and we'll kinda keep that idea on the back burner if we need it. I know it would suck to have to bring a cooker with you all the way from Ohio too.

Drink Beer, there's a meal in every can!!

Adam, clearly you have never been married or had kids based on those comments, lol, the woman would string you up and feed you to the gators!

Eddie whatever works man, fried enough turkeys myself to appreciate how much work they are, would be there to help with all that, flipping burgers and dogs or help call Domino's, whatever works is all good!!

Eddie, I wanna say it was BJ who brought the extra cooker. If memory serves.... you, Rob, Kimi and I were sampling turkey constantly to be sure we would serve...No bird before it's time.

CQ, I don't think there is even a Domino's in town so you better be ready to flip a burger or two.

Adam, aren't you usually on a liquid diet anyway?

Spanky's serves pizza late, we ate that a couple times last year, but no delivery. CQ can be our DD...designated deliverer.

Its good to have a goal.

I'm sure the "Mofoots" (that you guys were giving me junk about till you had one) that Kimi and I were serving up on the way back had nothing to do with this memory loss you speak of.   

Guilty as charged your honor!

Yes Adam. You are right about the truck and the boat location being an hour+ apart. I hope we have enough people around Thursday to test the waters with water sports. I have a new pair of barefoot shorts and gently previous used barefoot suit that are spending a lonely winter in my boat.
I would like to warn some of you "young pups' that that alcohol induced memory lapse will continue even if the consumption rate reduces. I am walking proof that the older I get, the better skier I was. Maybe I can blame that lapse on mass quantity consumption,

Several of us will be checking in Wednesday on Lee St. Though not needed (with the proper mirror), I'm even bringing a spotter.

54 days and counting....tic tac...

Very sad to hear and worse to see Alan. I wish you a speedy recovery.
In all my years as a paramedic I only saw crush injuries from vehicle doors, never an amputation. You must have one sharp car. Did you bring in the tip with you? Why no re-attachment?

That has to have slowed your posting down quite a bit too.

That sucks Alan . I hope you have a quick recovery.

That thing has to throbbing tonight. I hope they gave you some good pain killers. If it is not to soon for de-gloving stories, I knew a fire fighter who lost his ring finger in a similar manor. After years of wondering about the short finger I got up the gumption one day to ask what happened. He said his wedding ring became hooked on a basket ball rim will dunking a ball (he was maybe 5'6" tall!). Turns out he had put a picnic table near the net to launch from. Because of a poor mind the whole body suffers.
