Good Morning,
Hope your week is
going good..beautiful weather
here..enjoying it..JT is even able
to wash our dirty boat.
Rather quite here on
the pier except for the work that
continues on the end of the pier.
So many folks already closed their
boats for the winter..but continue
as usual with several "die hards"
who will stay as long as possible.
We said goodbye to
Mike & Jan aboard "Trust Me" as they
are headed South for the winter. We
wish them a safe and exciting
trip as they have planned for this
for a long time. Congrats to Mike on
his retirement!!
Also Ron & Anita
Miller from the pier have left going
South...aboard their 42' Jefferson
...this is a new adventure for
them..so we
wish them also a safe and fun trip.
It was a joy to meet and visit with
them while they were here.
Check out the
pictures on the web of the chili
supper on the pier...looks like a
fun time was had by all!!
Congratulations to
our friend Emory for winning the
flag!! Check his picture also.
Everyone have a good
week...see ya soon.
Mayor Pat

When our dear friend Emory ends
the evening as the target of
head painting, it should be no
surprise he is going to end up
the next day with the
"over-Served Flag". |

Does anyone know the owner of
the bicycle pictured here? As
you can see it is securely
locked to a pole in the Sea Doo
slip and has been there for
several years. The weather is
taking it's toll on a very nice
bicycle and nobody seems to know
the owner. If the bike is
yours our you can identify the
owner, please please drop me an
e-mail at the address
below.

Pictures

Terry stroke anniversary
party. August 26th marked
a year of recovering from a
stroke that sidelined J.T. for a
while. But not for long, he's a
tough old bird! |

Hi Bob,
This is for the what it's worth
department (see picture to
the left). For Father's Day, my
son gave a change to drive and
actual Indy
car around the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Plus we also took a
ride in the IRL two seater with
an actual IRL driver. Our guy
was
Davey Hamilton a veteran of 9 Indy 500's. Bob, words cannot
describe that day. To actually
slide down into an Indy car and
take it
for a spin around that historical speedway is something I will
never forget. I don't know
whether you've had a chance to
climb into
an Indy car but if you haven't, you are virtually lying flat.
Picture sitting in your recliner
with it fully laid back with
your feet straight in
front of you and then put a pillow under your head and you have
it. In the u-drive portion,
they put an Indy driver out in
front of you in
another car to show you the line around the corners. We were going
approximately 120 mph. In the
two seater we reached speeds of
190 to 200. The g-forces in the corners are indescribable. You
feel like your brain and is
being smashed against the right
side of your
skull. I have a whole new respect for the Indy drivers. It is
hard to believe that they do
that for 500 miles with 32 other
cars out there
with them.

Kelsey Moores Finishes 8th
at All-American Soap Box Derby in
Akron, Ohio
Kelsey won her first
three heats in Akron to advance
to the championship round with nine
other racers. She finished
third in her fourth heat of the
day (championship round).
Kelsey then moved on to face-off
against the other two third-place
finishers (from the two other heat
brackets) for 7th, 8th and 9th place.
Kelsey came in second in this heat
to finish 8th overall out of 135
stock division racers.

A new game came to
Pier Six . Almost everyone
got involved, but it was quite apparent
that Pat and Patty were the "Class"
of the crowd".
(But
then it was their game)

The
was a nice cruise on The Jim and
Jan Ladd's boat, "Jim 'n' I", over
the weekend, but it was quite clear
that grand daughter Bailey was the
center of attention. |
