[Soaring Feather]

OMG that is hilarious!

[Brad’s Gramma]

CHEAP DRUNK????????????????????????????????????????

Well, now that you mention it...

[Brad’s Gramma]

Go Gramma!!

SHEESH! I don't have to go! Texokie does! SHE'S got gas!!!!!

[Kathy in Alaska]

I hope not! Didn't anybody tell her this was supposed to be a "dry" flight? Well, he (or she as the case may be) who makes the mess has to clean it up. THAT WOULD BE YOU GRAMMA!!

[Brad’s Gramma]

ME???????? I didn't mess my pants!!!!!!!!

Good GRIEF!

[Soaring Feather]

I just now have seen the lake! Oh my gosh that was a close call. Hold on to me Gramma. Put that beer can down!!

[68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub]

Did you all see me wave?

[Brad’s Gramma]

Burp.

Be right sher. where. THERE. Be right there. Hic

Burp.

Hic

[Brad’s Gramma]

And the unsuspecting visitor to Free epublic stumbles across this thread, this trip acround the world, our drinking, messing our pants, area 51, wondering.......Huh?

[TEXOKIE]

The winds gently and rapidly take the faithful Bodacious Beer Can into its grasp and waft them toward the Pacific.

They see the lighthouse near Tonk's back yard and aim for it.

Ms Fawnn's tasteful blue inhibitions, which she left in Arizona or California somewhere do not keep her from standing up on the rail and chortling with glee,
"YO TONK!!!!! YOOOOOOOOOOOOO TONKIN!!!! WHERE ARE YOU??? YOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! TONK!!!! Where is he? HE THINKS HE CAN GO TO BED THIS EARLY, DOES HE????"

Ms Feather, never ever having had an inhibited bone in her body, joins Ms Fawnn up on the rail.

"WE SEE YOU TONK!!! WE KNOW WHICH WHICH WINDOW IS THE KITCHEN WINDOW!! WE SEE YOU GETTING THAT MIDNIGHT SNACK!!"

Mr Jinx is firing up the gas heater just in case Tex needs it to get the balloon aloft in a hurry.

Ms Gramma is comfortably relaxed with one of her arms trailing over the side of the basket, baptizing all the trees below with what is left of her beer. She delicately lifts her head and with a sweet smile utters, "Buuuuurp!"

Ms Kathy, ever mindful of her knees and the need to check in our Canteen equipment in a pristine condition puts away the telescope and is beginning picnic cleanup.

TEX is gradually letting the air out of the balloon in preparation for landing in Tonk's back yard.

[Fawnn]

Awwwwwwwww I thought that was you!

[Brad’s Gramma]

And again....Gramma proves herself a lush and a cheap drunk. FREE REPUBLIC YOU IDIOT, NOT Free Epublic! Dork. Dufus. Lush. Dummy.

[Fawnn]

LOL!!! I think now would be the perfect time for you to go get rid of those pebbly hoochies on your ceiling and do that durned painting yourself!!!

[Fawnn]

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!! (I hope Tonk's readied us a soft landing area! Too bad he missed my tasteful blue inhibitions though.) ;)

[Brad’s Gramma]

Pebbly hoochies??????? HAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Hey, y'all! Come on over! Paint and beer will be supplied. Come one, come all...let's paint Gramps' house. He is colorblind after all and we could have SUCH fun with this!!!!!!!

[Soaring Feather]

I don't want to go home yet!!

Who brought the cat!

Woo Hoo where are you???

Kathy why are you watching movies up here?

Tonk, I did not see you waving? Did you need help?

[Kathy in Alaska]

I did, I did! I saw you wave as we passed over Bandon. Didn't HiJinx do a wonderful job of navigating? Took us right to the lighthouse!! And Tex did good "driving". And Fawnn brought refreshments. And ms feather was always on the look out for good stuff to see. And Gramma is just hanging out. Did you see all of us waving back?

[68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub]

"Tonk, I did not see you waving? Did you need help?"

Nope, just waving to my FReiends!
(and so you don't land on the goat and the dog out back)

[TEXOKIE]

Yoooo hoooooooo!! Tonkin!! WE'RE HERE!!!


TEX releases the final volumes of gas from the Bodacious Beer Can and the Canteen Crew gently land on Tonk's lawn.

*BUMP!!!!!!!.......SCRAPE*

"OUCH!!"
"Watch my knees, please!"
"Sure wish I'd had my camera! I bet we could have gotta a DOOZY of a UFO picture!!"
"Good grief, TEX, who ever said you were able to fly this thing???"
Tex blushes and reminds everyone that a landing you can walk away from is always a good one!!

THANKS FOR WAITING UP TO GREET US TONK!!!

[Brad’s Gramma]

Don't worry. We love goats and dogs. It's those other things we don't like. You know, THEM!
