Wow. Mah feets is tired.

I don’t even know where to start! But the house and yard are clean, I had a power nap, and its time to say thanks to all of you, because as much as I am LOVING all the adoration, it really does take a village to put this thing together.

Thank you ALL for coming and making this the biggest and first ever SeaDoo to include a tricked out “First Class Lavatory”. Thanks for rolling with the punches and being patient with the restaurant delay on Saturday.
Special thanks to all the first timers, especially the ones who bowed to peer pressure, and the “plus ones” who tolerate our addiction.

I really hoped you all enjoyed yourselves!!

And thanks for not scaring my cousin ..we’re working on getting him a handle.

Thank you to everyone who entered the DATE WITH ME raffle. We raised a lot of money for an important cause. And thank you to Monitor for being such a great date!

Thank you to everyone who brought amenities. The local shelters will appreciate them very much!

THANK YOU SO MUCH for all the hostess presents!!! My adult beverage collection significantly grew this weekend, as did my snack stash and ohh the Aveda I will use.

Thank you to the staff at Tamarind Tree, and especially our waiter, "C", who in addition to making some great eye candy, was a total rock star, considering the special circumstances of our arrival. They really pulled that one out, and much faster and better than most other places would have even considered trying.



Thank you to Starwood Lurker for providing the “parting gifts” which were available in the “First Class Lavatory”

Thanks to SEA-Tigger for his mad lav sign design skillz, and providing the name tags. (I still have your flash drive btw)

Thank you to my Grill Masters –
Fredmartens – who donated and smoked some righteous turkey breast for us, allowed his house to once again be meat grilling central, and kept the good wine flowing.
Bob W- who donated all the salmon and grilled up some mighty tasty tri-tip, and thanks for the bottle of Chaleur Estates that will be missing from your shipment
Itsaboutthejourney – who once again took charge of the fish and veggie grilling.

Thanks to wireless for his mad bartending skillz, and grace under fire.

Thank you to the rest of the sous crew - you KNOW who you are...and there were a lot of you! Thanks for pimping my porta potty, shopping, chopping, slicing, moving furniture, squeezing limes, de-stemming mint, stirring risotto, and helping with the seemingly endless number of dishes to wash, bottles to be tossed, and random tasks to be done.


Thanks to all the locals who brought extra chairs, coolers, and a canopy!


Thank you to my crazy OCD mother, who despite being told to rest because she's recovering from the flu, did a ridiculous amount of prep work on Sunday morning, and cleanup today while I was at work trying to stay awake.

Thanks to Fortfun, garlin, fireworksboy and FlyinHawaiian, who kept my driving requirements to a minimum…and therefore could maintain the state of lubrication required to pull off a mostly anxiety free weekend.

And speaking of the Hawaiian Dude. Thanks for being my right hand man. You were tireless … and take direction well my friend. You Rock the House. And thanks to your equally awesome girlfriend for letting me have custody of you for the weekend

Every single person who came did something to make this weekend special. I'd name you all individually, but my brain isn't in full function mode yet.. please know that I appreciated everything!

I can’t wait to see everyone’s pictures!!


oh yeah.. to AviationKiwi, fireworksboy, and Spiff :very stern look:
