A visit from Italy....MickeyBoy...
 

Mickeyboy (aka Michele) and his beautiful wife Raffa are in town on holiday from Italy for a week. They're on their way up to hang out for the day. I was hoping to have the Cig in the water but its not back from my mechanic getting serviced. Hope to pick up the Cig today and have her in the water so I can take 'em out for a run in the big blue.

I'll have pics, stay tuned.

the Formula is back in the water lets go

have fun!

we want Pics of the day

Give Mickey and his wife, our best wishes from us guys here in Chicago. Have a great time and enjoy the good ol' US of A. :drink:

Tank,
Tell Mickey and his wife that I hope they enjoy their stay in California, it is a great state and that I hope they enjoy the ocean with Tank and his Cigarette (if he picks it up)

Cheers:drink:

Well, Mickey and Raffa showed up around 11 yesterday. We took the golf cart to a local eatery for brunch and since the Cig wasn't done we managed to borrow a Duffy from a friend for a harbor cruise. After that it was back to the house for some Tri-Tip & Chcken, then over to a neighbors for cocktails. I think they had a great time, I know we did. And we'll be hitting Italy next year to see how they do it!:drink:

Here's a few pics....They're coming back up this afternoon for dinner tonight, I'm sure there will be more photos...Mickeys got a bunch of pics, I'm sure he'll post when he gets home :grinser010:

Looks like fun! And Tank, when you go visit him, you can ride on his Cig! :)

Hey, I recognize that kitchen. Whats for dinner on Thursday? I may be in Ventura.

Whatever you want brother. Let me know and we'll cook something up! I'm working Thursday but will be home by 630-7

Looks like good times

We had really great time !
Tank is a fantastic chef !
He does a great rice and a perfect BBQ

Maybe I drunk too much .. His fridge is full of beers !!
Mine is full of lambrusco .....:coolcowboy:
I'll wait for Tank and his family next August

My wife and I are @ LAX airport waiting for our back home flight and we are so sad to leave this great place , but we are so happy to have met a really big friend and all his big community and we know that now we have new friends here.

Thanks a lot to Kelly , Tank and a big hug to baby Finn

Mickey, thanks for the pictures. It was a GREAT weekend man. Can't wait to get out to Italy with you guys.

Between the golf cart ride, harbor cruise, drinks, food and freinds, I'm thinking the only thing missing was to run the Cig.....Next time!:drink:

Yeah a really great WE ..even without Cig.

Suggestion .... Piper is young, maybe you can accompany her in Italy next month....:kiss::kiss:

Glad you had fun, Tank sure knows how have a good time :)
Wish i had known you were here we could have all gone out in the big blue, i had put my boat in the water that day and went out to the islands.

It was my dream , view the beautiful Channel Islands and some jumps in the big blue !!

Next time I'm sure we'll do it all together !

From next month, an Oxnard's cityzen will move here in Italy to live in my house for 2 years !!! :coolcowboy:
