Hit it.
Let's do it. We will take the Nomad and Tony's gas card as this will save the expense for Tony for our hotel rooms on the way down. I'm sure he will be be setting us up at the Four Seasons once we get down so we can work as his farm picking the blue berries or what ever else he decides to grow. With those 4:56 gears and the M22 Rock Crusher it may take a while to get there, but it would be a fun trip.

Oh man, I likes me some peaches. I see by your picture that you finally cleaned your Camaro up. Looks a lot better than the last time I saw it. This old ass needs all the heat it can get anymore. I'm freezing this morning and it's only 32 degrees.


Just wait until a Saturday before you guys come over. Aint no sense in missing work. Keep my pay-check coming.

Tony, have you thought about getting a couple dairy cows for the property. That way, you have fresh milk with your blueberries in the mornings. I'm sure Hank and Ric would up to milking the cows and picking a few berries for you.
You guys are hilarious!

I was thinking the '34 but there isn't much room for luggage, guess the Nomad would be better. I have a Kroger card, it'll save us, I mean Tony, on gas on the way down. We can throw the grille in the back, cook some steaks in the Kroger parking lot. The more steaks, sam'iches and beer we buy, I mean Tony buys, on the way down the more he'll save on gas. It's a win-win for everyone.

Man, what a bunch. Now see, Brian must be college educated to come with a brilliant idea like that. Fresh milk and fresh blueberries. Don't get much better than that.


Ric, where did that picture of the Nomad come from? That was a few years ago at the Bricks. My buddy Bobs Nova is next to it.

No wait!! The seats fold down in the 34! You can strap the luggage to the top of the car. It has overdrive! Save me some cash on gas that way.

Or I could just hire some of the Mesicans to do the berry pickin. Don't sound like it would be as much fun though.

You guys can "camp-out" in the Nomad. Ought to be a real fun trip. Like when I was younger and a bunch of us would jump in my van and head to Florida. Course, we had some pills to help keep us awake. Seems like it only took about 4 hours to get ther.

Luggage, I'm just bringing a couple spare pair of speedo's and some mesh wife beaters shirts and fit right in down there in Flordu. They will fit in a Hamady sack (I'm sure Tony is the only one on here besides me that knows what a Hamady sack is)

Brian coming with us as we will need all of to do the picking, cutting, drying and packaging of the "Blue Berries".

The picture was from Back at the Bricks, you were to good to park with us because you got to park on the flat lot while I peons parked with the common folks.

I broke it to Haley today that Uncle Tony won't let me park the Camaro over there so she will have to scrape windows this winter, she was heart broken.

Well Ric, now that the Chevelle is in Arizona, I do have some free space for winter parking. I'm thinking 43.78 a day should cover it. How many spaces do you and Haley need? That dirt in Florida is exspensive and somebody has to pay for it. Might as well be you, seeing as how you are still working full time.

Interesting amount you came up,with there $1357.18 a month is such a good deal how could Pass that up, I'll be right there.

When we built we had to bring in 1000 yards of sand and then 200 yards of top soil and 50 tons of boulders so I feel your pain.

Ric, grab that deal. Most places charge by the month. At 43.78 a day that's only $1225.84 for February.
