*** 3rd Annual Fishing Trip in the Highlands ***

The 3 stars makes this official. Will someone sticky it.

Here's the deal folks.

In the past - Mister Brenton kindly planned the fishing trips and paid up front with his own money to gaurantee the charter.

There was a nice turnout - however some people that committed to come did not show up - leaving Mister Brenton on the hook for the payment.

The charter costs $1000 including everything.
It will hold 15 folks which amounts to $67 a head.

The fewer people that commit - obviously the higher the amount.

10 people will mean $100 a head.

Of course - at that stage - if 10 people want to pay $100 for this charter boat - then we will have all agreed and we know what we are doing.

The ONLY way to insure that there are no surprises later on is if you send in your payment to Mister Brenton IN ADVANCE to hold your spot. If you are going on a vacation - you pay in advance. If you buy a plane ticket - you pay in advance. It will be no different here.

With that said...can we all either sign up - or say nay to this now.

Time would be end of June.

My vote is a yes for 2, possibly three - and I will be happy to pay in advance for three people if we all confirm and back it up with advance payment as well.

Please add your name to the list if you are
a) a Yes for sure
b) will send payment to Mister Brenton the day we finalize this arrangement.


1) Bradley
2) Bradleys Dad
3) Bradley's Police Friend
4)
5)
6)
7)
8)
9)
10)
11)
12)
13)
14)
15)

That boat also holds 40 people. The flat price is $1000 for the first 15 heads, and then $30 per head > 15.

Edit: In addition, we don't know if the boat is still available for late June. I haven't checked in a few weeks.

Hey Sid,
If we get more than 10 people to go - it will be less than $100 of course.
I might have my young friend as well - in which case that would be 4 under my name. You, Mister Brenton, Tommy, MG already brings that number to 8......... perhaps we can get 4 or 5 more.

I don't see this as a problem at that point.

That new thread ...and struggling...

I see you need my help, (under one condition)
Brad if you vouch to constantly talk to my wife, then I'll sign in.
That means I'm in (x2).

...any promise to catch a Mermaid on that trip?

All right, D and I are in. I can't possibly leave Mrs. Polo in the clutches of Bradley for the whole trip, so I'll throw my wife into the mix (and trust me, Liberal agendas have not a chance in her world)...

I'll bang Mrs. Polo for 4 hours straight if it means anything, just to keep her occupied. Gotta leave one hour for fishing, of course.

I challenge anyone to claim I don't take one for the team.

Now, the next step in Chucky's 'world of lack of detail' is finding out what dates are still available.

What would you do with the extra 3 hours and 55 minutes?

I guess I'd have to sit all by my lonesome on the left side of the boat.

My wife? lib...? Never! She is more Conservative than I.
On the other hand, libs/commies are most welcome. We have to bait those sharks with something...

Greatly appreciated

Yeah, yo-da-man, Rick!


Btw, is that you with that shapely body turning back at us?
I still insist on the boat going first. Don't make the same mistake twice!

Simple. The Last Sunday in June - The 27th. If that is not available - Lets do August 1st since July tends to be a big traveling month.

7) Mrs. Polo the right wing
8) Emilner
9) Mrs. Milner (LOL!)

Guys, NO SUNDAYS Please!
I will need one full day to sober up!

Agree with Ed, Chucky's babysitting is well worth the price.

Tommy, I didn't know you are lefty, such a nice guy , what a disappointment).
Maybe we will not use you as a bait...

LOL! I am booked until late July. I am doing summer courses and going to two weddings. Unless God comes down and strikes one of my professors dead, I am out of luck.
