Dragonslayer

Lewis, The first thing I want to say is: 1. Vogel would not be the same without you. You are Mr. DRAGONRIDER, VOGEL IT's for the kids, St Jude. 2. Your involvement, hard work, tireless efforts, commitment, sense of purpose and sense of urgency for Saint Judes, have made Vogel a chapter in my life that I would not change for anything. I'm sure the rest who have been a part of the eight Vogels feel the same way. Your presence this year put the event over the top. It would not be the same without you. 3. While I appreciate all that you have done the fact that this year seemed more of a relaxed gathering then a major production made it a little more relaxing and enjoyable. IMHO 4. In spite of Bubba, to me you have always been and were again this year quite entertaining. 5. You've done your part, others that look forward to Vogel continuing will pick up the torch. Thank you Dana and Missy, moving forward I'll help to keep the event alive. I HAD A BLAST AND REALLY NEEDED AND ENJOYED THE WEEKEND. I have just one criticism. Who keeps picking the base camp cabin in the steepest part of the park? Wouldn't one in the flatter areas be more bike friendly. My convertible doesn't mind but that was a lot of work picking up all those fallen over bikes.:-) :-) :-)

I'll be here when y'all get back.

Friday 8/25 @11:39 AM I'm at 86r's campsite, where y'all.

Looks like Woody has room for a tent.

Don't know which is my favorite.

Ok the original book was Song of fire and ice, right can the song by the breath of Dragons and the battle between the fire dragons and the ice dragons. Just daydreaming.

I'm glad you had Tweeksis vision protected as well. The only thing that picture is missing in a SUPERMAN outfit.

Could you mean priorities?

I took the day off for the event but didn't drive Anywhere to see it. Figured 97% totality was close enough to avoid the crowd. Rigged up my special viewing camera. Got set up in the front yard in plenty of time. When it was time, a big cloud was passing and I didn't see poop. The dog was unimpressed as well.

I ain't planning to fix nutin since nutin is broke. You bringing Bubba? FRIED... fish ..... fish fried or fried fish......... I ain't going 100 mile outta my way for no kinds of TACOS. Oh yeah mine is 4 zero 4 ate 3 ate 9 $!# $!# ate.

Why didn't the Dragon just flame up and melt the lcicle spear? Does a Dragon zombie breath fire or ice?

I will be coming up Thursday or Friday morning and don't have anything booked for my small tent. I MAY JOIN YOU. IT WOULD GREAT SEEING YOU AGAIN BUT, I WARN YOU I'M NOT PLANNING ON RIDING 100 MILES OUT OF MY WAY TO GET FISH TACOS.

Glad I read past the first paragraph. I was about to go induce vomiting and start checking dog pucs for remnants. He's only a pooch that likes to test his mortality on a regular basis. Arrived OK is a relative assessment. But it is here now in the hamper.

Suit made it home but, the delivery driver left the box in reach of the dog. When I got home the dog had torn open the box, pulled out the suit and was laying on it in the mud as I pulled up the driveway. Now it is muddy and smells like dog. Other than that it wasn't torn. Should wash and be ok.

:cool10: beans:12101:

Wearing the SUPERMAN suit and cape.

Couch looks very similar to the one in my primary hunting stand. Come on down the more the merrier.

I just thought those teeny tiny knobs were lint balls.

We got rocking chairs on our porch.

DANG Puc, Now you got me worried on what else you might a seen. While I wore the suit I did all kinds of thing I don't usually post on the internet.

Puc, In your case, you'll betcha. You and Tip will have exclusive access to the air conditioned presidential suite with a direct view of the back yard bon fire pit and the luscious green meadows where the white tail roam. Tweeksis will have her own place inside the garage right next to the work bench just in case she needs any tire spooning. Cooking won't be necessary since I will have my personal chef cook up whatever you heart desires. Don't worry about the dishes either since we got a machine for that. We can sit out on the front, back or side decks, sip mint tulips and watch the wildlife run by an listen to the roosters crow. If'n you want we can pop off a few rounds on the rifle range or hunt doves, rabbits, opossum, armadillos, Foxes, squirrels, Fox squirrels, white tails, crows or buzzards. If hunting ain't your thing there's fishing, riding, bowling and drinkin. We can always go to the Elks or the Eagles club where they will treat you like traveling royalty not only because your MY friend but you are SUPERMAN. At the club we can dance, sing karaoke, get on stage and play with the band and drink. Bingo, pool and video gambling is also available if you like that sort of thing. If your still board there is always the new Falcons football stadium, New Braves Stadium, Aquarium, Ferris wheel, Stone Mountain and everything else Atlanta has to offer just a hop, skip and holler away. But it better be soon if you want to see the carving on Stone Mountain since them loud mouth protesters are currently trying to erase the history of the south. We can even go look at the concrete bridge that burned down if you really want to. COME ON DOWN WHENEVER YOU GET THE NOTION. It ain't nothing to take time off work to show you around the place. There is just something I need to know. Have y'all ever been to Ranchero Hacienda at LITTLE PARADISE before? How did you know I have a refrigerator in the garage with TBones, a fresh sack of taters and toothpicks next to the stove? Did I mention drinkin?

All you need to know is: Everyday ICE CREAM.

If you or any other ventureriders ever find their way down to my neck of the woods you are always welcome to pitch a tent on my little twenty acres of paradise.

You are more than welcome. You wore it well as promised and it was well worth the entertainment value from this end. Hope I can make you as proud.
