Sun N Fun?

However, when you've got the opportunity to go to SNF, thanks to
someone whose name sounds a lot like "Montblack", you take it and
run!

What? Did Paul win the lotto and now he's buying avgas...um, I mean,
mogas? Hey Paul, 350 gallons of 100ll please. That should get me
to/from S&F. Hmmm, there is that small matter of $$$ for engine
reserves & maintenance...ah, I'm sure you could cover that as well. :-)

Nope, but in a moment (period? era?) of insanity, our Mr. Montblack
*volunteered* to keep an eye on our kids for us so that we could
attend SNF! He'll be staying in Iowa City for "the duration", and I
expect there will be some very interesting posts emanating from this
PC while we're gone.

Of course, as Jim Burns has already pointed out, the "Uncle Buck"
comparisons are simply too many to tally. Joe is already looking
forward to a whole new way of life...

Hey, Montblack, what do you have in mind for Inn renovations while Jay
and Mary are away? If you can get a few folks to show up, you ought to
be able to renovate at least 4 suites! :-)

Actually, his help would be welcome -- but Montblack probably won't be
seeing the hotel at all during his stay. Not unless he wants to.

On the renovation front, we *should* be done with "Phase 1" of our new
lobby by the time he arrives (if I can finish up a few electrical
tasks in time). The day we get back from SNF, we start tearing out
walls and laying floor tile in "Phase 2".

That's right, we've built the entire project around...Sun N Fun!

Aren't the kids 14 or so, the boy even older? Can't they survive a couple
of days without their parents?

Anyone else heading to Lakeland?

I tried to make it happen, but no such luck. We have a trip planned a
trip from 1H0 to KDTS to let my little one (almost 3) experience a
real beach (as opposed to the sandbox out back). I tried to work out
a side trip to Lakeland, but I couldn't make it work. At 120kts its
2.5 hours each way (unless I cut the corner, overwater, something not
in my personal risk tolerance). Which means an overnight there, plus
nap issues for my daughter, etc.

I started a conversation along the lines of, "well maybe I'll fly by
myself down there and you guys can stay here....." but you can imagine
how that went.

Until I got the map out, its hard to believe how big the state of FL
actually is.

Not anymore. Leave kids less than 18 years old home alone nowadays and
they'll turn you in for child abuse.

Let's see, Jay's an airport guy, where "X" means don't land here. So that
must mean don't let the sledgehammer land on any lobby wall with an "X" on
it. All others come down ...I think.

I'll just have to take my best guess at which walls come down.

Yes, I can do that.

I mean, what could go wrong?


Montblack :-)
Besides, walking around the house (with a "sledge") will lend a little more
authority to my (Thur) decision to have KFC, ...for breakfast, ...again.

Mmm ...extra crispy.

I can get you the first 50 gallons. That's what I figure will need to be
off-loaded from Atlas, before I stow away.

Class."

This movie was on today ...along with "The Masters on CBS"
http://www.digitallyobsessed.com/sho...w.php3?ID=3112

"On The Good Ship Lollypop" is actually sung in the isle of a (pre) 1934
airplane. Later, Shirley stows away in the baggage compartment of a
different plane.
