Rodney, that's quite a bit different than how we played, but it looks like a blast!!! Hell yeah, I'm game!

Jerry, that pretty much sucks, but was kinda what I was expecting. Worst case, we just bring the 5er and some toys and leave the boat behind...

Yea it's a blast. I'm sure you'll catch on quick. It's actually a lot easier than it looks. Just throw them flat and in line with the holes, and they just fall in. Most people catch on fast and love it. It's a lot easier than horse shoes, and doesn't take up as much room.

I have thought about buying a trailer for the last couple of years but it just doesn’t make financial sense for me presently. I only make about three to four trips a year where I would need the trailer. On the other trips I usually stay at the AVI Casino. It probably cost me less to rent 9-12 days a year than it cost someone to pay for storage, registration and insurance. However, when I finally break down and buy one I will be using it much more than 9-12 days a year, I guarantee you that.

Yea, most of the stuff I own doesn't make financial sense. Maybe I should take some lessons from a financial adviser. I guess I'll have fun while I can. It may all be for sale soon if the price of almonds keep falling. Luckily it took a 15-20 cent jump up the other day. The rumor is the crop is less than expected after our perfect bloom weather. We'll know more when the first crop estimate comes out in early May.

I'm having fun while I can as well... At least until I get too old to spend my kid's inheritance... Oh and almonds are good stuff, man! I have a cup of them every day!

That's great. The health benefits of almonds have really helped demand. Now if we could just get the 1 billion Chinese to do that, we would be in great shape. 80% of the worlds almonds are grown in the Central Valley. At least people are making money with other crops now. That might slow down the increase in almond acres and allow me to keep these toys.

I guess we better get back on topic. At least the bs is good for a bump.

I showed this to Lisa and she got a kick out of it. The first lesson is that since you have all the toys your friends need to bring the beer, the gas and if your single (well you no the rest).

Jerry, I sure like your thinking, but if I didn't buy the beer and gas, I don't know if I would have any friends. And I'm not single so I won't go there.

Glad you can make it. I may have to take you up on that offer. I'll have to see how everything plays out when the time is closer.
