Mike, Connie is always under the delusion that he's a young whippersnapper.
Mind you, I can see where he's coming from. After all, you blokes are all much older than me!

I had to Crawl out to the truck from the VFW and sleep through the night.
Does that count? Hope so?

Just got home.
Another amazingly great weekend. I'm just getting funnier and funnier each year aren't I???
No comment CJ!!!
And again Pussan and me were the last ones standing at the Frisco at 2200 Sunday....... although I was on a Lemon Squash!!
Thanks again one and all, it was great to see you all again, and I look forward to 2012!!!
PS: The chat up lines don't seem to work as well as they did many years ago......perhaps all the "help" we were getting from Charlie, Tafmo and sometimes others wasn't helping!!

It's such a shame the "Backward Swimmers" is no longer there, you lot might have stood a chance with the "Blue Rinse Set" but looking at that attendance list, maybe not.

Col 'Pussasan' Kelson has sent me 31 pics from the weekend's events, (thanks Col,) so I thought...
...if everyone who was clicking over the weekend would like to e-mail me, say, ten of their best pics, (send them to me on roman27@tpg.com.au ) I'll create a souvenir 'Smilebox' online that everyone can access,
without blowing our bandwidth...

Well, back home in sleepy old Adelaide, having survived yet another great pissy run through the Rocks, and the following day's BBQ and sail on Sydney Harbour.
Mind you the liver has been twitching more than a beanie's butt in a Bangkok brothel .......must have had a beer or two too many....or maybe it was the butterscotch schnapps and Baileys in the Lowenbrau.... ...naaaah.....couldn't have been; that was mother's milk ....Charlie told the bartender he was after a cocksucking cowboy, and that's what we got..... ...I drank mine while Charlie went looking for the cowboy...
The run was a great day. Had a nice meal at the Lord Nelson, and a beaut Vili's pie at the pub up the road for desert.....scrumptious! It was terrific catching up with the usual old reprobates, plus a few new faces. Weyling and Ned didn't end up in the slammer, so I obviously looked after them OK.
Rhonda enjoyed it, and I didn't grope anyone (that I remember)....unlike some of the old casanovas....so I didn't get in too much shit...
My daughter Sarah and her boyfriend Evan enjoyed themselves, and they may be inclined to try for another sail on the MOBI YN when they come up to Sydney again sometime.
The sail on the harbour was great as usual, and even had a chance to steer the old girl ....now that might have been a little erratic at first, but did manage to get it down to a short harmonic sway towards the end. No real dramas except for having to kick the donk into full speed ahead to avoid having some wanker in a racing skiff run into the side of the boat. I thought I'd cut between him and the skiff in front of him nicely....would have been fine if he hadn't upped his speed. He must have missed the dinghy by a few centimetres, so I don't know what he was so indignant about....
Thanks Rick and Dave for spending your Sunday showing us around the harbour. And thanks to everyone else for making it a great weekend.

It was good to see you there with your family Tafmo, and we all noted that you were quite subdued with them around.....................
We also all commented that Sarah was so lucky in gaining her Mum's looks.
