I'd first like to say Thank You to the Springfield Crew for hosting such a crazy bunch of nuts. It was a great time and was a first class herf. I hope that we topped last years $ for the sponsored charities.
Second, I'd like to thank all the sponsors that donated so much. I saw several sponsors that I currently do business with and several that I will be adding to my list. This thank you does not only extend to the businesses that donated. There were many, many individuals that donated everything from $ to cigars to their time that made this event special. Hats off to you all.
Third, I'd like to say thank you to all of the great people I got to meet up with. It didn't matter what we were doing.....Eating, Smoking, BSing, Drinking, Laughing, or finding out that no one goes to the Jazz Club on Friday night at "The Prick of the Prairie".
Every moment was great hanging with you guys.
Floyd, a gentleman if I ever met one. Beautiful wife and super mother in-law. (yes Floyd, I met your mother in-law too
) FYI - if you want to get rid of the stinch in your cloths...throw em away!
I've sprayed a half of bottle of Febreze in my suitcase and it still reaks. I sure wanted that gift set flown over Kuwait. Nice....very nice!
Jeff, the pleasure was all mine. Glad we called off the under 200 # contest. We'll talk Matt into having a big screen TV next year so we don't have to run down the street for score updates. We still need to try and smoke the Cuaba together. How much money can we walk away with from the blackjack table? Hope to find out in Feb..
Pete, did you really tell the fire dept that you had it all under control when the smoke alarms went off? I was returning to the herf when I rounded the corner to see flashing lights in front of the place.... too funny! It was great to see ya again. The BBF you handed me goes up in smoke tonight. Let me know when you find your way back down here to Texas.
JoeP, you are one crazy layed back dude. Smart too...... I saw the way you backed off the speed herf once you saw the others had runners working in their favor. Did you see where Jeff went when Peter Pan showed up?
It was a pleasure to hang with you bro.....only wished I hadn't lost the wife's camera.... would have afforded a few more "daw-was" for the late night auction. BTW, the wife and I are going to see Red Dragon tonight.
Matt, it is more than understandable that hosting this herf demanded most of your time, yet, you still found a few moments to say hi and blow smoke at us. Truely a great herf my friend and am glad we shared the wkend. I heard that some of the engineers there are planning to create draft drawings for airflow ventilation scenarios. If that don't work I'm asking Pete to bring some of the breathing equipment from the fire truck.
Let us know when the house warming party is..... :lookup: :sneaky:
I think I covered all the CP people......if I forgot anyone its because of the white fog I was in all wkend. I met a lot of people from a lot of different boards and everyone of them I would gladly call a brother or sister....... well, maybe not Peter Pan.
Thanks for the great wkend people.
