Re: Checking out for awhile . . .

. . . but don't worry about me. I'll be plenty warm where I am going . . . and no Dennis . . . I'm not going to Hell because I still insist on splitting wood horizontally.

My wife and some friends will be in ManchVegas tomorrow and then it's off to the sunny southern Carribean for some down time . . . some fun in the sun . . . unless our ship's engine catches on fire in which case I may be pooing in a bag, peeing in the shower and fighting off angry hordes of hungry folks for a single hot dog.

Enjoy your fun in the sun!! This is a great time of the year for such an escape.

Have fun, Jake. Enjoy your getaway!

Have fun, don't even think of all us folks left behind and shivering in the snow and frosty wind. Are you going in the iron triangle?

Yeah, have fun. Hope yer pipes don't freeze...

Daksy . . . actually it is a Carnival ship and I think they often have Italians crewing the ship.

Jags . . . Yes. I do. I will admit it.

FireBroad . . . Pipes should not freeze. Oil boiler will be put to good use . . . and I've got friends coming every day to check on the pipes and our pride of cats.

Correction . . . I think it's not a pride of cats . . . I think that refers to wild cats . . . this would be a clowder.

Manchvegas only hop, skip, jump and a few exits away....have Moxie, will share...

Hmmm . . . I could use someone to carry my luggage, get my drinks . . . would you be my very own Tattoo?

Tempting . . .

I think if we get in early enough we may hit the Cinemagic and see Lincoln . . . my wife doesn't normally like movies, but she expressed some interest in seeing this the other day.

we can break in to old Radisson Hotel right there and run around like crazy fools! Jump in elevators, swim in empty pool...good times.

I told you...its not a skirt, it a kilt and I aint a "HER"!!

...least, not without a snicker.

Can I be a stow away ?

Can't fool me.
Jake on Vacation:

Idiots will prob'ly burn the whole state down, without yer reminders. Oh, well, don't worry about US.............

more like Phileas Fogg's Jean Passepartout.

Have fun. It's starting to snow again here....
