2009 Official Invitation

| 8 Comments

TGT 2009 will officially kick off on Sunday Feb. 22nd. Plan to be there by 2pm at the latest.  For those of you who can make it, we are planning on being there on Saturday the 21st.

As The Honored Mate this year I would like to start what I hope will become a tradition for years to come. Actually, Bob really started it last year with giving back to Mexico. So, here it is... This year as part of the built-in cost of the trip, $50.00 from each TGT member is going to go to a charity of choice by the honored mate. I know this is not a lot of cash, but $350-$500 to someone or some group is a big chunk. This year's donation will be made in Honor of our fallen mate, Randy Lunsford. I am up for suggestions as to where we should donate.


NOW.................................The Details.............................

Grab your Skis, Knuckle boards, warm clothes and a set off golf clubs boyz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To help keep cost down this year we will be cooking breakfast/dinners at the cabin for all but one night. Lunch will be on the slopes or golf course. Two of the nights you will see Mr. Ellenwood of 500MPH Productions showcasing his recent film debuts, one night will be a TGT poker tourney at the cabin and one night is a group crap tourney at a casino (more info given at the cabin about this event, an Opening Ceremony (New Rules, Yes!!!)  for the New Honored mate and an Awards/Closing Ceremony Friday night.

Cost:

Charity: $50.00

TGT 2009 Award:

Well, here is the skinny, I liked Bob's trophy idea and wanted to keep the spirit alive. So, every morning we will be having a lottery drawing for your ski partner for the day. Everyone needs a digital camera for proof. Each team will earn points that each partner will carry over individually into the next day with their new partner.  

More to come on accumulating points....

Bob's Deck

| 5 Comments
It's been a long time since Robert Ellenwood has worked hard. Over the Labor Day weekend Bob got a new lease on life, as his wife suggested some Wood Hardener. Marilyn went to the store and purchased the Minwax product in order to firm things up. According to Marilyn, Bob has been hard at work with his new formula, turning his deck rock hard and ready for study use.

Bob Ellenwood, our friend of many years, has not been able to take care of business the way he used to. In fact, his deck has suffered significant decay over recent years. As you may know, he turned 49 just a few days ago and while Bob appears fit and content, the years have not been altogether kind. "My bones ache and it's difficult to get up, especially when I need to perform on demand." Happily, Bob has liberally applied the hardener to his deck and both he and Marilyn are thrilled with the results.

"If your deck is soft, riddled with fungus and disease or you have some critters in your lumber, I strongly suggest you try a generous does of Wood Hardener. The results are stunning and my wife is stoked!"

Way to go Bob!
