Had a great time last night. Lost 1/2 a tank of gas following Alan. (He had a toll tag and we HAD to speed up to hit the toll booth first and still had to fire wall it to catch up. Of course, Paul never wants to push the envelope---Heaven forbid if he ever really gets the BIG engine) Anyway, it is amazing how you get to see a different side of people!! When we got to Joe's (Crabshack) there were no parking spaces. There was a biker rally and at least twenty spaces were taken up. NO Parking for US. We sat in the parking lot for about 20 minutes and Alan's wife "Fearless Fiona" went up to one of the Bikers and asked for them to move their ****s over and give us a few spaces. No dice. Then a space opened up and Paul pulled in and there was a second opening and a truck pulled in ready to grab it. "Fearless" went over and told him we had been waiting for 20 min. and we were taking this one. He held his ground. A third space opened two down from Paul and Alan took it with "Fearless " ALLOWING the trucker to have the one she was STANDING bravely in. Living the clean life---a space opened up in the middle section, closer to the building--Paul charged into it and another next to him gave way for Alan to move up. T-H-E-N James Baldwin and wife stolled into the parking lot in a space we were guarding for him...only to have a third open next to Alan and the three Cobras were all nested together. James suggested we go somewhere else, buI told him we fought too hard to leave now. Way to go "Fearless"!! Need to make sure she is around to police the area!!
For the wives that don't come. We have a great time. The dessert seems to come after a meal...it is fun to hear the wives rally together and the conversations are quite different from the "guy-monopolized" gatherings. So come on, ladies..get it together next time and jump in that seat. Your guy probably needs coaching as he drives to the watering hole. We can always exchange recipes or something. Besides, the guys love to pay for dinner if the little woman comes. Right, guys???
