Things I learned in Sarasota:

Friday

#1 Pearson should have come

#2 After a week of no sleep I can still rally

#3 Fighting with Baxter (a lot bigger then me) over a picture I will post anyway isn’t a good idea.

#4 If you fight with Baxter; Pearson will get hung up on and Security will come out…look…turn around and go back inside…guess the madpoodle really is intimidating

#5 there is no #5

#6 If you are looking for Crazyhorse look for the beautiful bikini clad women

#7 Pearson really needed to come

#8 Old Red’s Pescador is beautiful.

#9 Carry on a Lab finished prop doesn’t go over well with airline security.

#10 Sommerville Quote #1 (Todd) “ When you mount your prop” ….hmmmmm

#11 Brad went to post pictures

#12 Skinny white boys don’t fair well against crazy dogs.

#13 Some people are conspicuously absent.

Saturday

#1 Diana is delirious an in the AM

#2 Ordering from the menu isn’t any better then the buffet…no surprise because they take the food from the buffet.

#3 Next time you see Cliff say “ IRREGARDLESS”

#4 Some people need to strap their girls into their 22 Zx’s … OR…Learn to drive

#5 Someone will get hurt at one of these events someday :(

#6 90 degree turns in front of the boat you are in are not things Chris likes

#7 Dwight drives his boat like a jet pilot (a good thing)…wait he is a jet pilot

#8 Please keep your hands on the wheel (Not related to #7)

#9 Chrissy is a great sport and an expert Oakley cleaner

http://www.donzi.net/photos/callardsota1.jpg

#10 Nate is still alive and not permenantly infused with gelocat…other then his hands that is…

#11 J+K Shahbas are just cool people

#12 the 45 zx is a BEAST

#13 The owner of the 45 ZX has the best pad I have EVER seen.

#14 Red Reynolds in my hero

#15 Ever been in a room that just screams “LOVE”…thank god Totaro wasn’t there

#16 Amy is a big trouble maker in a pool…but seems to get dunked a lot

#17 Liz needs to invest in a bathing suit cause she is going in no matter what

#18 Guys you can’t count on me for everything wink

#19 Red is my hero…

#20 Did I mention Red is my hero…

#21 Brad looks at home with a 1500 hp 45 foot long boat…Amy looks more at home

#22 I am not a pedophile…don’t ask.

#23 Guess where brad is?

#23 Me displaying my "physical prowess of a chicken"

#24 Pearson where were you? You needed to be here. Next time it is going to be like the A team- We will beat you over the head, tie you up, and throw you in the belly of the plane...if you never saw the show that makes 0 sense.

Saturday night

#1 We all owe Mike Miller our first born…

#2 The les Paul is so sexy…and I don’t even play guitar

#3 And then we got high and then we got high and then we got high….on the oxygen bar…hmmmm….weird stuff

#4 The Donzi girls continued to do their jobs

http://www.donzi.net/photos/callardsota20.jpg

#5 What where their jobs?

#6 I think Brad must be on the Donzi payroll as photographer

#7 Sommerville quote #2 (Jill)…”****** ***** ******* ****” sorry can’t post it wink

#8 Diana thinks she can go one for one with a College student all night

#9 Diana is mistaken…

#10 Those donzi girls got nothing on the real ones…

#11 Todd seems to get so excited when someone says HP500 he spills his drink all over. I think Todd’s goal is that everyone should convert to an HP500…don’t have to sell me.

Sunday

#1 Underwear is a good thing…please wear it

#2 Poodle is the coolest guy I have ever met.

#3 When the 38 ZR has it’s own gravity…as soon as it arrives everyone just seems to get pulled that way.

#4 Poodle and the little boat that could can run with the ZR…until they cheat

#5 No one can drive as well as Poodle can…I think my coffee would stay on the deck at 70.

#6 Enough about the crazy dog…

#7 Dr Dan’s 22 is the ultimate people mover…USCG tag??? What USCG tag…

#8 I need to travel with Diana or I would lose EVERYTHING

#9 Wait I did loose everything…who has my Oakley’s? Totaro? Randy?

#10 Richard and Smila have the life

#11 In the words of our other missing friend Digger “ This does not suck”

#12 Jenn has Avatar issues

#13 Drink of the weekend…red bull and grey goose.

#14 Dwight…think F1 tires…

#15 Randy’s boat has just a little bit of power…not too much at all…really

#16 Dwight likes testing props…Dwight repeat after me…this is a boat not a plane. This guy has ridiculous concentration like a jet pilot…

Monday Factory tour

#1 Steve Simon knows more about this stuff then we will ever forget

#2 Mike Miller gives a great tour

#3 The Donzi girl photos we HAVEN’T seen are the best…

#4 Doug Valentine looks like the quintessential race boat driver

#5 It is a great thing when Baxter’s digital camera comes into the wrong hands.

#6 The Donzi factory is very impressive to say the least.

#7 When necessary Cliff can drive the balls off a Ford Ranger…

#8 That must mean Cliff’s 22 zx is fast too…

#9 Chris did make his plane

#10 Chris did spend the entire plane ride writing this

#11 This is going to be a long night…

Thanks for an Awesome time everyone!

Richard I don't like you guys at all. I mean your boat is horrible, you aren't very hospitable and I mean you only own 2 donzis... :) wink wink wink

But do you know where my sunglasses are?

Great write-up Chris. I believe your glasses are now in Detroit... being held... for ransom.

We'll get them to you as soon as we can.

Chris,

We've been looking for them all morning. Now, we find that Ranman & Donzi Jenn took them to Detroit.

Smila was heartbroken. She's standing here telling me that she had intentions of holding them for ransom for aride in the boat you are building.
:cool:

Ranman,
I think I would rather buy a new pair then pay your ransom wink

Richard,

No ransom is needed for a ride...just hold on tight!
