2017 Southeast builder's meet at River Palms Cottage OCT 13-14th

[Aripeka Angler]

Sounds like the meet is still a go? I would like to buy tickets unless I hear there is a problem.

I just 5 minutes ago reached the manager of the Palm River Cottages via his cell phone.
He said their only issue currently is a lack of landline phone service.
No damage to the meet site.
The meet will go on as scheduled...

Sorry guys I would love to be there but I don't think I'm gonna make it, life is about choices, recently bought a second house in the Dominican Republic, booked a 2017 Christmas vacation in Europe, there's just not enough meat left on the bone to do this, I would loved to see you guys and Dori again but as it looks for now it ain't gonna happen, hope you all have loads of fun though! I will think about you guys and galls and salud you

Thanks for the information Richard. I am pretty sure you went out of your way for this. Man you are one busy guy

[Aripeka Angler]

Peter, I will miss you my friend. Sounds like you have a great vacation planned!
Fuzz, it was no big deal. I can only burn so much brush and tree stumps before I need a break.
If anyone needs to reach the meet site, use their local phone number. It is forwarded to a cell phone.

All, to follow-up from AA (Richard's) update, I just went by the River Palms facility and the entire place had been cleaned-up and looked great. No damage was visible and I talked with a few of the guys staying there now (they said Snook fishing was great). They said the only thing they were aware of was the phone issue that Richard mentioned. Reid or I will go by one morning this week and see the manager but all looks really good for our get-together!! Jeff

Peter will miss you.

[Jaysen]

Well... looks like I'm out. Amazing how much it costs to have good work done. House took a hit and since I can't do any of the work this time it's a big check. Add the new job and lack of accrued vacation and actually getting there became a problem.

I'm a bit bummed but I'd rather explain the situation than not show up.

Reid, let me know what I owe you guys.

Fuzz, I owe you more than a few drinks.

Hi guys, I spoke with Dori Teuton tonight on the phone. Dori is Cracker Larry's widow.
In her typical Cracker Georgia style, she was more worried about our hurricane status than meet details.
After I assured her we were pretty much all fine, she said she is excited about coming to the meet.
Jeff, she will stay my family if that doesn't put you out. Dori will have her own private room in our house.
I meant to post this earlier but have been kind of out of touch with Irma prep and cleanup...

[Fuzz]

Jaysen we understand why you can not make it but I am sorry I will not get the chance to meet you. Good thing is with you and Peter not coming the chances of being housed by the State of Florida goes down exponentially

[Jeff]

AA, No problem on Dori staying with you guys!! I look forward to meeting her since I never had any interaction with CL!! And with Jaysen out, we have a room open for anyone looking to come!! The place is completely sold out so let me know. Reid will update everyone tomorrow!! Thank you again AA!! Jeff
