That's because I had to jab you in the ribs to get a move on those tix! . Mark, Kenny and I will be crunching almonds and throwing back a few beers on the way....
Ready....
Set..

Is that fella Mark, still around

[spoiled one]

Is that this summer?

[welder]

Carol, we will be there the day before you and we have a direct nonstop flight BOTH ways.

Oh, Pete, we're coming to your house so tell Tori that "those guys from the internet" are pulling a surprise visit and we're kid napping the really tall guy and his son for a week.

Her problem is that he keeps finding his way home...

Hey did you see that he is a carpenter now? Looking great!

[welder]

Yep, he has a pretty good sense of direction, kind of like a puppy dog that way.

I hope the magnets hold the new rack to the bulk head.

[Lucky Louie]

Well we (Cathy and I) bought our tickets before my medical ordeal began. We fly to Dallas, then lucked up as we bought tickets for the same flight from there to Anchorage as Welder and that gang. We have the same flight back to Dallas as they do too......

Man alive we are looking forward to this trip!

[carpetman]

Don, glad to hear we are on the same flight as ya'll. Be good to see you again and finally meet your bride. I know it's gonna be one heck of a trip! Good to know you are feeling better, and like Pete said, we'll do whatever it takes to get you on a boat.

I don't know how they put up with us for a week, well I do, Pete, Doug and Derrick have so much AWESOMENESS that it's just a walk in the park for them.
A Pre THANK YOU before we even get there guys.

And more importantly, THANK YOU to their wives for letting them take time out of thier summers and Families to play with us, Thank you Ladies.

[Lucky Louie]

Yea BUDDY!

Cathy and I are counting the days! We are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooooooooo looking forward to this!

[DMan]

How many days are we down to?

[Lucky Louie]

How many days are we down to?

46 full days. We hop on the plane at 1200 hrs. (noon) of the 47th day.... Fly to DFW where we change planes (Same one the TX crew will board) and get to Anchorage supposedly at 1925 hrs. (7:25pm)

[Lucky Louie]

Five more weeks......

[carpetman]

The next 5 weeks will seem like 5 years. But I also know the 5 days we spend fishing will pass in 5 hours. Can'twait to get there and meet all the crew! So if I forget to say it later, thanks to all involved in this adventure.

[welder]

Scott, in about 6 weeks you will know what Wayne and I talk about.
Your are going to meet some really cool people and Pete , you will see country that you will NEVER see anywhere else.
I never thought I would get a 3rd trip up, I guess us guys from the Internet aren't that bad.

Just remember....... What happens on the Boat, stays on the Boat.

[DMan]

We have been ruffing it while waiting on you guys...

[carpetman]

DMan, I see that you are scraping the bottom for food. If you need me to I can send up some potted meat and spam to hold you over till we get there. See you soon, Scott

[Daddy'O]

Scott - You will be a changed man after this adventure. You better have a crap load of film for your camera! Oh......That's right they don't make film anymore do they? You're screwed. You bastards are going to have a time of your lives. Wish I could be there but.... life calls me a different direction yet again. Pete my man you are great! - Tell your family howdy, Don - GLAD you are doing better! I know your and Cathy will have a great time! Mojo & Carol - Where is my Camaro? Kenny - You suck! Just kidding ......I love you guys like you were my own.

Daddy'O!

[welder]

Hey Mojo, see Waynes Facial Hair, he is growing it in support of us, I had to trim mine as the length was starting to bother me.
Guys, it's chin hair for this trip for the class picture.

[Lucky Louie]

I had a pretty good one going. But had to shave when I went back to work. Required to be able to put on a SCBA at any time at the plant. At the Sheriffs office, the Sheriff takes a dim view of us having a beard as well.........
