Ann -

Thanks again for the tasty tacos and getting everybody together. Honestly, I think your fajita filling is the best I've ever had. And the views...wow, great spots here. Nothing like a nice sunset on the beach.

Garry -

Second check mailed but unfortunately not going to be able to attend.

(Currently in the process of laying off 400 employees due to job killing legislation here in Kalifornistan....)

If anyone can use our spot - No charge.

Just have them make a donation to the Shrine Children's hospitals....

Will miss the keg of beer!!! Next time....

Good start to this get together. Hope the weather cooperates and everyone can see the balloons rise into the morning sky.

Thurs Scavenger hunt. I would like to say whether we won or lost our team Wolfman Jack had an amazing time together finding our items. Thanks Gary for the time and effort you put into getting this all together. I hope the other teams had as much fun as we did! Thanks to the judges too! Since what happens in Havasu stays in Havasu I will not post a picture of John getting his fingernail painted orange.

Glad everyone is having a great time!

Still wishing we could be there . . .

I'm saving up the Fireball for next time!

Breakfast at Black Bear, weather kind of iffy for a mass balloon ascension, but there were about a dozen that we saw up. Couple flew right over the restaurant. Really nice right now and a few are going up. Hoping for all to see and have a good time. Of course I forgot to take any pictures.

We were talking about you John - in a good way I asked Hippy to make a Fireball Margarita. It was pretty good.
