Hang out with a bunch of hooligans, and risk a night or two behind bars ??

Oh hell yeah !!!

As long as we're not staying at the same hotel as our first one.

Carol still yells at me when I mention it

But I won't say who's name she mentions .

holmes · Sat 08, Dec 2018, 03:19:48

She must be talking about Terry.

Remember, it's always best to set at the opposite end of the table from The Bernzie....

Somebody in North Andover complained about me working there and so I have been transfered to the Cape project.
If I am able to be there I will. Kathy has informed me she is going and I can meet her there if I want.

Bernie S · Sun 16, Dec 2018, 12:23:06

shorty · Sat 09, Feb 2019, 13:34:18

Hey folks,

We are coming to mass for the 23rd to have my taxes done. It should be fun, as I sold two houses last year

We would like to blast to Portland for lunch with New englands finest, and was wondering what is the official start time is ? a little birdie said she thought noon, but wanted to check Thanks !!!
Shorty and Dianne

Wall · Sat 09, Feb 2019, 15:41:11

What's a Shorty. It will damn good to see you brother. I would think 11:30 to noon would be a good start. I'm sure that will be the beginning of a long afternoon.

Is this leaving ample time for Brett to have his toenails done ???

holmes · Fri 22, Feb 2019, 05:25:47

That "full Brazilian wax treatment" will require extended hours !!!!

RonBou · Fri 22, Feb 2019, 05:56:52

Everyone have a good time. Someone take a picture of Brett after his wax job.

no comments here, I was only an observer

still don't understand why they were going to shut off the fireplace 1/2 hour early. Must have been some rowdy people there

Karen · Sun 24, Feb 2019, 19:50:54

Great to see everyone! Makes me feel blessed!

Bernie S · Sun 24, Feb 2019, 20:47:19

We had a great time laughing with old friends Chris thanks for putting this thing together

ybnorml · Mon 25, Feb 2019, 04:44:19

It is always a great time seeing everyone.....
Next year Bernie, maybe you could order takeout from Gritty's and smuggle it in !!!

Wall · Mon 25, Feb 2019, 10:43:08

Kathy is still working on the time line everyone met. I keep telling her the important part is we all met.
We had a great time. Right now I am enjoying about a 40 mph wind on the Cape

ybnorml · Mon 25, Feb 2019, 11:35:35

I met most of you at Spring Creek in Monson....2000 or 2001 I think....
All You Can Eat all day.....every hour something different came out for us....
This is when I took holmie, Brett, and Clue 'for a piece of homemade pie' !!!
I had met Dwight and Jeff earlier......
