luke,
i will be there, and so will short bus.

 

I hope you guys had a fun and SAFE time! Some nasty weather out there.

BTW, ordered the rock for "weekend" delivery, didn't mean the middle of the afternoon on Friday!

 

Hi guys,

The weather did get pretty rough on the drive back to Greenville. I pulled off for a while at the rest area near Jalapa. Very heavy rain and HAIL! No damage to LucyGoose, thankfully! I got home safe and sound in what was the slowest drive back from Columbia I've ever done.

We made it back ok. Did get a little hairy there until we got out of the Columbia area, which did have a tornado warning. Didn't have any hail though. Hope you all make it back home safe.

HoooWeee that was a fun drive back! All I can say is thank goodness for DSC. Once I made it through the worst of it, or maybe it was between . . . I don't know, I saw a car in the opposite lane flipped over. It looked like everyone was alright but once past I started seeing the usual police, ambulance, etc headed in.

No hail here, good thing I didn't wash Ferris yesterday though.

You're excused this time but you'll have to make the GVL waterfall run next weekend. Ferris and Ramona need to see each other again now that they're off the boat.

 

Glad you guys made it back o.k. yes my stability control light was on and off and felt a little nudge in the steering wheel but made it back with heavy rain, no hail or high winds. John Abel, and H.A.W.G you didn't sign the list and I did not include you in the minutes - my bad! as Doc would say. Sorry about that I know we had more than 21 people and until I saw Chris photo's above knew who I left out> Glad everyone came and we had good meal and of course Starbucks afterwards. We had 6 officers and 17 members present. We missed all of you that could not make it and hope to see you soon at a MINI event. I would have stayed longer but I got thirsty. Thanks again for making this one great club. Geekswrath glad to finally meet you and hope to see you again soon. Luke, Prez

 

I signed the list when you passed it around when we all first sat down, is that what you're talking about?

Well, we all pooled our money and were able to bail trace and carol out of the slammer after an altercation at walmart at 2am. If you ever want to see the 'perks' that Columbia has to offer, just see carol lol! We had a great time and can't wait to see everyone again at the auto fair. Hopefully we can keep the other 2 out of jail next time!

 

I MISS YA'LL

 

Ok..here are some pics of the meeting and what happened afterwards.....some of us were very bad....

This is what happens when our leader leaves us alone.....


You can't take her anywhere...except to jail!

 

She didn't look to upset! That wasn't Trace in the backseat of the cruiser. Too damn much starbucks coffee will do you in every time.

 

Wait until you see mine.... loading right now

 

yeah...Trace made it into the back of the cruiser too....she just didn't have to be handcuffed....she went quietly. Carol on the other hand....

 

adding tips for weight loss and health care into the MINI Newsletter...
What is this all about???? I wasn't even there to defend myself.......

 

We missed you Doc!!! You wouldn't believe all the hands that went up at the meeting when Luke announced that you wanted someone to drive your car to the auto fair....

 

Anna
Can't wait to see you at Knight's Stadium. I will bring the canopy. I hope we'll be able to use it. Do you know who else is coming???

First Stop... Corral.

NOW FOR THE EXITEMENT.
AFTER A NICE DINNER AT PONCHOS WE WENT TO WALMART. I NEEDED SOME BENYDRYL SO INTO WALMART THE 10 OF US ROAM. THAT SHOULD TELL YOU ALL TROUBLE RIGHT THERE. AFTER I GOT YELLED AT FOR BOUNCING A BALL IN THE TOY DEPARTMENT WE MAKE OUR WAY UP TO THE REGISTER TO PAY. AFTER ARGUING WITH A FEW WALMART EMPLOYEES BECAUSE THEY HAD TOYS MISMARKED WE MAKE OUR WAY TO OUR CARS TO HEAD TO THE HOTEL. BEFORE I GOT IN MY CAR I LOOKED DOWN ON THE GROUND AND SAW.....


SO AFTER I SAID SOMETHING LIKE EWWW GROSS THERE IS AN EGG ON THE GROUND.... SOMEONE (I CAN'T REMEMBER WHO) POINTED OUT TO ME THIS....


AND THIS


SO HOW MAD WOULD YOU ALL BE.???? LONG STORY BUT WALMART WERE NOT VERY COOPERATIVE SO I ENDED UP CALLING 911. SO THIS POLICE MAN SHOWS UP AND WANTED TO IMMEDIATELY PUT CAROL AND I AWAY BECAUSE I GUESS WE... I MEAN CAROL... WAS A LITTLE LOUD AND SHE COULDNT CONTROL HER MOUTH....
SO THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED....

I PLEADED WITH THE OFFICER THAT SHE DIDNT MEAN ANYTHING AND HE SHOULD LET US GO. HE AGREED....

SO OFF TO THE CARWASH WE GO. MY WONDERFUL HUSBAND REALLY DID A GREAT JOB REMOVING THE EGG...



WE WEREN'T QUITE DONE WITH THE POLICE YET....





A COUPLE OF PICTURES TO END THE NIGHT AT 2AM....




THE MORAL OF THIS STORY....STAY INSIDE AND CHOOSE YOUR FRIENDS WISELY.



GREAT MEETING AND FUN!!

 

Great Pics
Who the dickens threw eggs??? Or did the bird that was after Luke's car grow bigger and lay them???

 

Trace
You did look a little skert, but Carol gave it away.... Also, I don't think I've seen an arrest made with the officer smoking since the 70's.

 

yeah, both officers were so cool. There's an entire page dedicated to our adventures in March's newsletter. Trace...AWESOME photos! Love the one of all of us with the MP!

 

I have nothing to say about Trace's story the truth is having you all here made being in Columbia a helluva lot more fun!!! We just got home, I'm whooped.. I'll post tomorrow

 

REALLY...WHAT STORY DID SHE TELL?????

 

Great pictures Trace!! I relived our wonderous weekend and laughed all over again. I haven't had as much fun (or been in as much trouble) in 40 years! I'm definitely regressing. How great is that? ...and to top it all off, I got a great mod-lighting job so I'm ready for the dragon. Many, many thanks. I love you all!

 

I swear I didn't tell nuthin to Doc! Really
