TOYOTA TACOMA

I KNOW MARY HAS YOU ALL "HANG'IN" ON HER LAST POST, AND SHE WILL BLOG AGAIN WITH THE HISTORY AND A FULL REPORT ON THE VISIT, BUT RIGHT NOW SHE'S JUST PLAIN EXHAUSTED FROM THE EXCITEMENT AND CELEBRATING!!!

I'D LIKE TO THANK DAVE AND JEANNIE FOR TAKING TIME OUT OF THEIR BUSY LIVES AND COMING TO LAUGHLIN TO MAKE MARY SO VERY HAPPY WITH THEIR VISIT.

THE VISIT WENT SO WELL AND WE ENJOYED OURSELVES SO MUCH THAT THE "JACK" AND BEERS JUST SLID DOWN, AND WE HAD TO PULL OUT OUR S.O.P. (STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES) AND DITCH THE CAR IN A CASINO PARKING GARAGE AND RENT A ROOM.

WHILE SITTING IN THE PEANUT BAR MY CELL PHONE RANG AND IT WAS PAULIE. HE HAD E.O.'D (EARLY OUT) FROM WORK AND WANTED TO KNOW IF WE HAD TIME FOR A BEER. WHAT LUCK, I SAID, WE HAVE A ROOM IN LAUGHLIN AT THE GOLDEN NUGGET COME ON DOWN !!!

PAULIE ARRIVED AT 12:30 AM AND WE FULLY INSPECTED THE NEW TOYOTA TACOMA PICK-UP IN THE PARKING GARAGE. THE TRUCK HAS THAT NEW VEHICLE SMELL AND ONLY 300 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. IT'S A FOUR DOOR PICK-UP, CHARCOAL BLACK IN COLOR AND VERY COOL. I APOLOGIZE FOR THE BAD PHOTO I GUESS I WAS HAVING A LITTLE FOCUS PROBLEM, AND I DON'T MEAN THE CAMERA.

WE TALKED ABOUT "VEGAS 80" AND ARE BOTH VERY EXCITED TO HAVE OUR FAMILY COMING SO FAR TO NEVADA TO PARTY WITH US.

16 DAYS AND COUNTING !!!
