Friday Noon -
I'm sitting in a meeting at work;
One of the other offices is answering my phones so I don't get disturbed;
Shortly after one the phone vibrates, and I make my way out to answer it since it one of the guys watching my phones;
It is work for me;
Not so happy ending for a couple that just returned from their first cruise;
Call a couple of the kids to get details, and get things organized;
Make sure everyone is on the same page, things are as organized as possible, and mom is ok alone that far from home;
Make contact with those helping us down there;
Everything is going very well and professional until this point ... He's in Ft. Lauderdale ... I can do this and get a real, genuine Hazaritta on the company dime!
You guys have scarred me for life ;D How far a drive is it from Mountain Lake to St. Petersburg ::)
-
Mountain Lake where? If yer talkin' Mountain Lake Station FL it's about 80 miles.
Ft Lauderdale to St Pete is about 3.5 - 4 hours
-
If he's coming all the way from Minnesota another 4 hours is nothing.
Better break out the blender Haz ;D

He's coming all the way from Minnesota. I haven't talked to him today, so maybe he's on the road......although he didn't say anything about it when I talked to him on the phone yesterday afternoon.

Notice there was no invitation to stop. Just blow the horn. ;D

Should have read 'when you GET to Tifton'.
There's always an invitation open......and not just to M58, either. ;)

Take bail money

In all seriousness, if you do use I-75, pretty much everywhere from Tift County south, to the Florida line, is one big speed trap.....but Tifton (exit 59 overpass) is the worst.

This is great!
There are five of us with a license to operate these places, one is gone camping, one is in Florida golfing (not me), one is supposedly doing yard work on his weekend off but the last time I saw him it involved a lounge chair and bud lite, ME, and the bossman who wouldn't answer his phone for another one today.
Two of us holding down the fort for the weekend, and only four working most of next week means that I will not be crossing the border ... much less fifteen of them any time soon. Top that off with two invites and a volunteer for shotgun ;D
You guy's wait till I start traveling this winter ;D As of right now I have 22 1/2 days of "use it or lose it" vacation that should be used by Dec. 31 with January as a grace period, and with everyone trying to get out of here I was lucky to visit Rastus. Told the "vacation guru" and calander keeper that I was taking December off (Christmas is my holiday to cover, so will come in for that and cover my two regular weekends) ... What does he mean by "fat chance in hell?"
The big silver bird arrives from PBIA (Palm Beach International?) in Minneapolis at 8:30 Sunday night, we get access around 9:00 PM, and I meet our driver in beautiful downtown Mountain Lake a little after midnight to take care of things. That is as close to a REAL Hazarita as I will get untill next Saturday ... By 1:00 PM everything will be done, I will be officially off for the weekend, and the blender will be hummin!
