Title: Friends
Post by: jaybet on March 06, 2013, 11:10:48 AM
Over the years as we've gone through our highs and lows, some DRTV family members have stepped up with friendship and support. After several years of bad luck, the Mags and I were able to go on vacay down Florida way. My cousin is in the Florida hill country so we went tooling around out there, which is another story.

Since we had talked Enterprise into a fairly sweet ride we decided to drive around a little.

We made some calls and headed out to the coast to meet with some good friends and had a GREAT time. After a little firearm show and tell, we got acquainted with some sweet shine and home brew, followed by seafood and more of the other stuff.

Great friends from left to right:  Hazcat, Deepwater, Crusader Rabbit, and me (Jaybet). Little Haz was hiding, and unfortunately, the best looking one of the bunch, Maggie, was the only one with enough of a brain cell left to remember to take a picture.
We also met the Mimister- fireball of friendly fun. (Don't mind all those 44's scattered around on the table.)

After more shine we tried to call Marshalette, but she was (smartly) previously occupied. We had some really great conversation and a really great visit.
It's a real testament to the family and the friendship of DRTV forum.
In a lot of cases, we really DO have each other's back.
Thanks, guys.

Great to see the Cat!!!

I'm hoping to see him next month when I return the the land of humidity again.

Did Mrs. Deep feed you well?  She reminded me of my grandma - If my hand was empty she was filling it with sandwiches ... and Haz was providing the beverage  ;D

GREAT post!

I have to laugh, why do we (or most of us) look the same?
You could photo shop me in to the picture.... and look like a native.

My thoughts exactly, RTFM....

But I did think of a few accessories we could use for a larger gathering.

Hot Tub Boat  might need more than one of these.

Pedal Pub  Takes a crew of 17.  Appears to be 14 pedalers, 1 driver and two bartenders.  Dibs on a bartender slot.

The Professional Microbrewery  A couple of these would come in handy too.

Solus that pedal pub is the coolest damn thing I think I've ever seen....

Can you see 10 drunkards peddling - I'd make a change to it by adding plastic line from the keg to each seat.... so you can go hands free.
The only issue I see is max seating weight 300lbs.  :-\

So who's in for a $40,000 pedal pub?

Okay, that may have been the result but what was the intent?

I am just thankful it was early enough in the day that none of them decided a Mankini was a cool thing to wear!
