waiting over

gofer · 06-16-2007

Whey hey!

After 15 weeks of waiting my 350 has arrived and I'm off later today to collect her. Got to say I am quite excited even if it will be my wife's driver.

Sun is out here today and on Monday we're off to spend a week in the Alps. Life is good

Many thanks to all on the forum for giving me the release of vacarious ownership over the last months. Now its my turn

Bill, theys talkin in code so I caint read it and the rest of it he wrote real fast to mess me up. I got tha rocket part, Im jus waitin til they blast off. Lass time NASA said they waz blastin tha shuttle off, me an Bubba went there, we camped out an waited 7 months, one day tha guy what came by ever mornin ta pickup our beer cans asked us,"why ya'll campin here" I said we waz waitin on tha shuttle ta tak off. He waz

an asked what shuttle, tha space shuttle I sayd. Oh, that blasted off 7 months ago frum Florida he sayd. Florida I yelld, they waz posed to tak off from Cape Kenide. He sayd,, tha did, tis is Cape Cod.

me an Bubba waz told tha Kenidees live here, they do he sayd Cape Kenide is named fur them in Florida. Then he sayd, ya'll kin wait here tho tha next one leevs frum here in a week or so. 4 weeks later we seen tha feller drivin a bran new truck, Bubba asted him ifn he wun tha lotry, no he sayd, tha price of luminum wint up an all yous beer cans payd fer this truk

then Bubba asted him bout tha shuttle, he sayd it waz pospond til nex week or so..we wayted 4 mor weeks an finly gived up. On tha way back outa thar we seen that feller cryin at tha bridge hollerin "No No come back"

We ciphered he dun fell in luv wid cuzin Bustba.
