**** we'll jsut leave the evening's activities alone then, OK ******

Next morning, here's an attempt at Moon over Daytona.  We were tempted to wait until the drawers were dropped than rear end the mustang.  Sadly the light turned green..

"Yes Officer, No, well now you see thier pants were around their ankles BEFORE they fell out of the car.  That's how they lost their balance"
A Perfectly plausible explanation.

Nurple packs a whollop...or two or three.  We have to plan ahead because the wine tasting doesn't start until 2pm, and it's well after 9, and we're just getting our first beers in.

Start of the race and we're on the grid.  Excellent!

Nurple in his famous "Self Basting" bag.  Funny how everyone turned down his offers to loan it out....By the looks of the picture some of the "Natural Juices" have escaped!
 

Did you ever meet someone who instantly thinks he's your friend and he's just too wacky?  Yeah, we had a hell of a time getting rid of him too.  It's almost like RickShaw had a lost brother who never discovered "The Joy of French Fries"

There he is again.  Separated at Birth?  Who can tell.  Nurple double fists it while dougie shows off his ever present greeting.

THis is serious.  Dr. T is rapidly falling behind to Nurple's five cups of wine.  Shiney's just waiting to see who hits the pavement first.

Nurple is definitely leading the drinking contest.  No comment on Dr. "T"'s wandering hands.

Dr. "T" devises a new plan to raise cash, some women are just plain grateful.  There's one dollar!

Meanwhile, Nurple single handedly shuts down a couple of the wine lines.  "Oh yeah, this sho do be fine"  Mr. Shaw seems to have sat on something and is now in the process of extricating it.  Let's all wish him luck.

Plan didn't work out all that well.  I managed to raise one dollar.  Hey, that's a dollar more than anyone else though!

 

Dougie poses for a group photo.  He seems to be pointing at something?!?!
 

Aaahhh....nice color choice.
 

ET Phone Home.  11 Glasses of wine.  We took his phone battery away about an hour ago.  He hasn't noticed.

Yes, back to the car and Surf's up.  Um Hmmn...  Yup.


And this is about what it looked like after he fell off his board just before the wave hit.  Ouch.

Yeah Baby...Yeah!
