I have a vague feeling like I have been to that cave before.... ...but when I think about it all I see are pink spots! I remember a lathe....and a jar of peanut butter....next thing you know I am on the side of some road in Mendon in my jeep with my pants around my ankles, plugs in both hands and sawdust all over my back!



Almost time to get our fish on!!!

Thanks for the tour Salty, I really enjoyed it.
Only thing is, I can't seem too loose these pink spots I keep seeing.

Salty....I am scaring you? I am the one who sees pink spots and can't get the smell of skippy off of me!

The measley $10.00 admission fee is going up to $50.00 a head as you guys seem way too eager to lay out the green for "Plugfest"!

Salty...you getting any work done in Buggerville with all the company you got over there?

Almost time to get our fish on!!!
