The 50th was great! Mustangs were awesome, but the best part was meeting and hanging out with friends from TMS. Some recognition:

Gary - thanks for letting me tail your (GT500) butt from Houston to Charlotte and back. Except for that stretch of the Atchafalaya where I got to meet the state trooper and received a $175 prize in recognition of my high speed driving. After 2140 miles, the image of your tail feathers are burned into my retinas


Attachment 156976
And thanks for representing the great state of Texas with the cowboy hat.

Scott - thanks for hosting us Wednesday night and sharing tasty (pork) butt. And beer at your house and beer to go. And TMS t-shirts.

Joe (Scott's dad) - thanks for the tavern tour of Smith Camp road. It kick started the trip perfectly and was one of the highlights for me.

Jason #1 - thanks for being our activity coordinator so we did not have to think. And also for all of the free entertainment. And lining up golf, too bad it rained.

Diana - thanks for putting up with a bunch of dudes and treating us like brothers (or grandpas). And enduring a lot of teasing. You are a good sport. If Paul ever disowns you I will adopt you.

David - thanks for being a gentle giant of a Mahn and serving as a mobile landmark everywhere we went so we did not get lost.

Nathan - thanks for entrusting Sandy to your sister's care so you could join us. You were the most mature one of the group and almost made us look respectable. I wont say who was the least mature, but you know who you are A-A-RON!!

Chet - thanks for accompanying Nathan and raising such a fine young man.

Jason #2 - thanks for making the drive. It was a nice surprise to meet you.

And finally:
Carl Weathers - thanks for being so awesome in The Blues Brothers movie.

Yeah that is brutal. Came home 450 mi./7 hrs last night from my orange juice infusion and that was plenty for me.

Yessir! First time I've driven more than 3 hours in the Mustang and I did not feel any fatigue the whole trip. I now know what "Gran Tourismo" stands for - hauling a** in comfort!

Hell the main reason I didn't go was due to the 12hr *** whooping my car would have put on me. It's time to buy a big cruiser again. It's not even enjoyable to drive unless I'm in the mood to defy gravity. Lol

I guess I'm still tired out from tax season, but I'm about this close to falling asleep at my desk. So tired.

Yeah, next time I need to get their earlier so I can hear you talk without slurring your words




I never did get to drink a lot...between a sick boy and the running around...and then having to work remotely...it wasn't much of a vacation for me...next time I am locking the doors, leaving the phone at home and finding a deserted beach with a bar somewhere.

Actual conversation between Jason and the cocktail waitress-

J: yumm, you smell pretty
W: well I bathe on Wednesday and I'm only 3 days out from that.
J: are you married?
W: yes, but you dont wanna be married to me on Tuesday!

Fair enough . . . I blame the Fireball shots at the end of the evening, or at least the end of my evening!
