Rich. Thanks man. Yeah, it was no problem here. Just a very windy, rainy day and some extremely high tides. Good waves though. I was down at the beach watching some of my buddies who were out surfing. I got excited initially when I heard that Sandy was coming up the coast of Maine. I thought they were talking about Sandy Bullock. :D
Some of the guys in NJ got hit pretty badly. And Mike Dupuy has been kind enough to offer shipments of free hawk food to those who need it. I hope everyone is in better shape by now....

I will be there around 5PM starting early and setting up if anyone wants to have some drinks and hang out... I know I will be drinking then ;)
Chris, plan on me being there to help at 5. Along with my trusty companion as well I would bet.
ya Chris thanks for doing all this ..
Brandi and I will be there as soon as we get the weathering yard secured and get cleaned up. As I am sure will be the case for Rich and his clan!
This is good news Chris I can make the dinner and be back early enough to open my vender table peaceebeeerbeeerQuote:
