*Just purchased a boat Oct. 11

*Thought i would find a sponsor to take me :D j/k LOL!

Plenty of PTO remaining (24 days/year) not including all GM holidays :)

Don't have enough vacation days to do New Orleans and Key West and didn't want to pay airfare plus Key West hotel prices. (I drove to NOLA.) Wish I were there, though!

Got a WIFE:D :D

Spent too much money last year in the Key's (at least I didn't have to buy a smashed scooter like my friend did.):D
No overtime in the last year and a half.
Started a new job, and don't have any time off (at least I've got OT though)

= Ratchet low on cash !

But after a brief discussion with 26 scarab about the topic...........at worst, Visa will sponser our trip next year !

My one employee quit and my partner cant run the business by himself:(

Also the zoo was all out of chimpanzee's, so I couldnt rent one to take my place:D

I'm watching it on the Web...


Reason I'm not there: Kids have to go to school. :(

And I dont have anybody who will babysit for 3 days. :(



Workin on next year though.......sounds like a blast.

Cause I was to lazy to drive down there.... That and I dont know anyone going, kinda sucks to go by yourself. I had/have plenty of PTO remaining for the year... 12 more days. YIKES... I better take some time off soon!!... Thats out of 28 days!... I crammed in alot of "long weekends"... now im not sure why... ? oh well..

Just messing around this week...have not had a chance to go ...YET !! leaving in the morning.....SEEYA

Always wanted to do something like that, but vacations always seem to get used for other things, OH YEA and I don't like flying at all.

1st time in 5 years that We did not go, Job wouldn't let me and after last years disaster (Hurricane) that did not hit. We took a year off.

$$$, time. Just getting into some of these events. I will plan something soon.

Hmmm....

Self Employed-no paid time off, ever.

Went down to Texas a couple of weekends ago.

No money lying around:(

And.....what was it.....uuummmm......

Oh yeah, my new (used) 34 Convertible arrived yesterday...never mind, I'm cool:cool: :D

Look what I found!

OK, who wants to go now!!!

No one told me they were going on. No really I hate the sound of dry pipes and the smell of race gas so I probably would'nt have had fun:eek: Ya right. Oh one more thing, it would be 60 degs warmer:D

And the number 1 answer:
NO "MISS WILD CHILD" competition this yr.:D :eek: :o :rolleyes:
Wild Child will be back though. Mabe with a "V" or at least "F2" in front of the -07:rolleyes:
Ya never know what were thinking up...........................

........................or a couple of hours at a certain place in South Beach. :D :D :D

I decided that for once this year I should WORK instead of going boating in a land FAR FAR AWAY :D Plus I will be in Cali next week and getting the ride of my life!!!! Oh ya may do some boating 2 :D:D

Jon

'cause I was born a poor black child :(

i does my heart good to know i'm not the only one not in key west

Sure Gary. I wish I was poor like you so I could have a Cig. ;)

I was a father to a new baby boy, just couldn't talk the wife in leaving for a few days.

DJD
BINGO . NO "MISS WILD CHILD" competition this yr

Think CAT as in S-class
LA

Hang in there Cig, maybe you can become a rich, white woman like Michael Jackson:D

DJD,
We missed the Miss Wild Child contest, badly. The Muscle Team is doing a fine job shocking the public. But we need your special expertise. Really hope to see you next year.
