    Well I'm back in The Villages. It was a fun weekend for me and it seemed like everyone else was enjoying themselves too. Stu was kind enough to put me up for the weekend and supply the bourbon. He has a really nice condo on the Gulf in Ft. Myers Beach.
    We met up with Kes, Scott, Ralph and their wives on Friday night. Ralph and Ginger had driven down from their place which is about 1 3/4 hrs. away. I had committed to Stu to play golf on Sat. and Scott and Kes were anxious to get at hunting Sat. morning. My plan was to join them Sun. stopping at Ralph's on the way home. Plans changed however when Ralph drove down again to meet up with us last night to watch the games. They decided to spend the night on Sanabel Island and I decided to just head out. I'm not sure if Kes and Scott went out hoggin again on Sun. but I'll let one of the others relate their experiences.
    I really enjoyed meeting Scott and Kes. Kes and I put down a rather large volume of beer last night. It was really nice of Ralph and Ginger to drive down to meet with us twice. Lastly, I really want to thank Stu who not only put me up for the weekend but shot 39 on the back enabling us to take $15 from his golf buddies. :D

    Gipper was the real horse on our golf team...shot a nice 84 and held me in on all the holes I screwed up on despite a hot day that wore both of us out.

    Had a nice evening get together on the island on Sunday night with Ralph, Kes, Scott, their wives, and Scott's friend Travis(?) and Kes's delightful kid Kheyin, who I think enjoyed my grandbabies toys.

    What a great group of people...I hope we can do it again before too long.

    I told them Friday night to order pork because that would be the only pig they would see...unfortunately I was right. :(

    I really enjoyed the weekend.
