MBB Picture Thread

[AtlantaSteve]

I don't have many pictures, as we left home without our digital camera. In some strange stroke of retro-coincidence, we had a film camera in the car. But my wife was able to snag a few pics with my iPhone during the cruise. So I'll go ahead an post those, but everyone else, feel free to post some more pics!

It was a wonderful day, that went by too fast. I am already excited about next year. A big thanks to Ron for putting this whole thing together, feeding this group, and giving us a place to hang. It was without a doubt a very successful event.

It was great meeting your guys...I'm here with the family, so I've already crawled into bed, but I hope all you other guys are out raising hell tonight. Safe travels home!

Where's the pics of Duane hanging with his "new" Hells Angels buds???

 

[AtlantaSteve]

The FBI has all those photos.

 

[RapidRabbit]

Man I hate living in Wisconsin. Never get to have any fun up here.

Is that a GO 70 convertible in there?

 

[AtlantaSteve]

I am not saying this to poke with the GO guys at all...but I'm pretty sure the car is yellow.

It is a beautiful car.

I have LOTS of pictures......... most of which are centered around drinking lots of alcohol.

Rather than only selecting a few choice photos to comemorate the event, I'm going to post EVERY picture that's on the camera. I'll let you guys decide which is important and which isn't.

Pre-mini golf photo.... BP's 'vert, Duanes wifes 90 GT (sweet BTW), my car, my sons car, another guy named Dave's car, and Scotts '70 vert.

Ron in his 'vert

Duane and Ryan (Monkeystash) at the mini-golf.... as I understand it, Ryan was asking Duane what the optimum bent at the waist angle would be for man on man sex.

From L to R.....

Mid, PonyMan66's son, PonyMan66 (John) and an unflattering picture of yours truly...

After meeting for dinner at Outback, we ended up at Celebrity Square where we all consumed mass quantities of alcohol at the Blarney Stone. Some of us more than others......

These photos are somehow "out of chronological order".... after consuming alcohol Friday evening, I was thoroughly plastered. I believe it was the 2 Irish Car Bombs that did me in. It took all that I had left to make it up off the bar stool and outside to a bench where my good buddy Duane and my loving wife eventually showed up to laugh at me and take pictures. As soon as I realized that a photo was about to be taken I "jumped up into a pose position", but trust me, I was slumped over in a drunken stupor just seconds before the shutter snapped.

So after laughing and trying to take my picture, Duane was trying to convince me to just "hangout" so that he could continue dancing with my also drunk wife. I was thoroughly shit-faced, but I distinctly remember telling them "no, I needed to be in a bed, NOW." She agreed, but wanted to "round up" the rest of the posse. Almost an hour later, after being accosted by the roaming security gaurd making his rounds every 5 minutes, my wife finally showed up again. She had gone back to dancing with the rest of the guys. Bastards.... Where TF was the love? I was eventually carried to a waiting cab and we all got back to the hotel.... although the details of all of this are VERY sketchy.

At the Blarney Stone (pre-drunken stupor)... L to R, My son Joe, Mid, Bryan (Havok1) and myself.

Bryans ear and Duane at the Blarney Stone.... (remember that drunk wife was taking most all of these photos)

Outside in Celebrity Sqaure doing jello syringe shooters..... L to R, Gabby, Billy (Duanes buddy), my son's GF (Gena) and a small portion of my face.

Another jello shooter photo.....

After eating dinner at Outback friday evening, Brian's (Havok1) wife offered to drop most of us off at Celebrity Square. Not being the kind of people to object to a free ride vice a $50 cab ride, we all piled into her SUV.... all NINE of us. Here's a photo of Duane sitting in the cargo area.... there were 4 of us back there and it was a tight fit!

Another photo of the cargo area occupants.....

I have approx 25 more pics to post, but the camera battery died mid operation.... to be continued...

 

[Anonymous]

Great pics so far!

Duane and Ryan (Monkeystash) at the mini-golf.... as I understand it, Ryan was asking Duane what the optimum bent at the waist angle would be for man on man sex.

That is some funny shit right there :rofl

 

[lethal289]

op Can't wait for the next installment. Awesome Photos.

 

[tarafied1]

that looks like a lot of fun!

 

[daveSanborn]

Okay, all of the photos are finally downloaded. We arrived home a few hours ago and I'd planned on immediately "napping" to help ease the effects of de-hydration/beer still permeating my digestive tract, but I'll try and get through these last 30 odd photo's.....

I'll try and assemble these photo's in some sense of order to help keep things straight...

Ron and Scott's verts leaving the mini-golf course and starting off on the cruise....

Another of the same....

Duane's 90GT, my sons '68, the "other Dave" and then way in the back, AtlantaSteve (Steve) and his family in the white mini-van.

The next set of pictures is of people eating back at Ron's place at the conlusion of the cruise through Myrtle Beach. To say that Ron and family know how to throw a party is a gross understatement. There was no lack of mouth-watering pulled pork and I heard several comment that the mac/cheese casserole was the best they'd ever eaten. Brenda (Ron's wife) acted as if she could do this EVERY WEEKEND and pretty much invited us back EVERY WEEKEND!

Within the next set of "eating" pictures there are several extended family members and I'll apologize now for not remembering all of their names.


L to R, Scott (I forget his VMF username... Grabber70?), his young daughter, Gena's back, my son Joe's back, my just then arriving buddy from NC - John and his wife Kathy and then Brian over at the food table.

L to R, me, Brian, Steve's wife, Ron's mom, Ron's chief pig cooker/work associate's wife, Randy (Mid) and Ron's wife Brenda. I'm fairly certain that was Mid's third serving of food. Man, that guy can EAT!

L to R, AtlantaSteve, his young son, Ron's work acquintance/chief pig cooker friend, PonyMan66 (John) and his son.

Basically the same as above, but now also including "the other Dave" and his wife Donna. I believe Dave's VMF handle is RM123???. Great guy. Also a part-time bouncer down at our favorite watering hole, Celebrity Square.

Spark Plug changing contest! What a blast! After eating.... and getting really comfortable in lounge chairs with over-stuffed bellies, Ron started cajoling us into the garage one at a time for the R&R of 8 spark plugs with a stopwatch ticking away in the background. None of use wanted to move from our seats. Gabby volunteered to go first.... and I'm pretty sure was the only woman participant. She registered an anemic 9 minutes, 51 seconds, but for a girl, I guess it was acceptable.

Up next was Randy. While complaining that the person before him had over-torqued the plugs back into the cylinder head.... his famous qoute for the moment... "Dam-You-Woman!!!".... Randy shaved a full 50 seconds off of Gabby's time to clock (I believe) a 9 minute flat time.

Hearing that it was taking 9 minutes + to R&R 8 spark plugs got me up out of my chair whereupon I "represented" and registered a blistering 3 minutes 56 seconds. This tiime held up until the very end of the competition and was the "time to beat" for almost everyone that followed.... until Ryan (Monkeystash edged me out by 10-15 seconds.... and then my professional mechanic buddy John went last and clocked a blistering 3 minutes 16 seconds. He was my "ringer". We were going home with a trophy this year!

Duane got slowed down because we made him rebuild the carb first....

Brian (Havok1) was doing GREAT!!!!!!

... and then his head fell off! WTF? Robo-cop?

AtlantaSteve was up next and had problems with the whole concept of "threads" and "how to start threading a spark plug into the cylinder". Note Brian in the background feeling around on the floor for his head that fell off....

Here's a little hint for you Steve.... the threads will start much easier if you actually look at what you're doing and not get distracted because Brian has just re-engaged his head onto his body.

PonyMan66 (John) also letting the re-insertion of plugs kick his butt while Duane continues to stare at the carbuerator....

My son Joe got slowed down as his "hippie hair" kept getting caught in the ratchet. Pictured here after he borrowed one of the girls "ponies" to help tie his hair back.

Duane's friend Billy sweated off last nights alcohol.....

Official MBBII party banner supplied by not attending Dale (70StangMan). Awesome banner Dale, THANKS!

Group photo time!

L to R, starting in the rear...

Brian (Havok1), Duane (Blue65Coupe), Scott (dammit, I forget), my buddy John, Me, AtlantaSteve, John (PonyMan66), John's son...

Front row, Ron (BeachPony), Randy (MidLife), Ryan (Monkeystash) and Billy.

The AWESOME tattoo on the beer wench in Celebrity Square. Checkout the detail, WOW!

Lastly, a personal message from Duane to the Democratic Party.....

 

[lethal289]

[6t6red]

Great pics Dave. Now I can put faces to alot of usernames. Oh and great shot of the tatoo work. :toot

 

[Anonymous]

Sounds and looks like a GREAT time, the commentary had me rolling :rofl :rofl

One question though, what happened to Duane's new found biker friends? No pics??

 

[beach pony]

Alright, guess I'll throw up a few too. Man what a great time I had! It was another great MBB! Already looking forward to the next one. Thank you, one and all for coming and making the MBB a great success. It wouldn't be anything without all of you!

A little hard to see, but Dave's wife Gabby, came in last and was appropriately awarded thehorses ass trophy. Their neighboris next to Gabby holding the trophy that her husband John won for the spark plug changing contest. By the way, 8 plugs in 3 minutes and 16 seconds!

Number two in Mini Golf, MID! A solid second and lost only by 4 strokes :boohoo

[70_Fastback]

Loos like a GREAT time! Bonnie and I have agreed, we are coming to one for sure Ron. Bonnie's Dad has an enclosed trailer, so I could bring the stang too. So be prepared.

And that was the greatest commentary ever Dave. The head thing had me rolling. :rofl

 

[Havok1]

I can go ahead and promise you that my commentary won't be as good as Dave's. Hell, I laughed my dang head clean off again reading that stuff. I snapped up quite a few pics and I'll try to keep them in order.


After dinner on Friday night, some of us went out to Celebrity Square at Broadway at the Beach. Ron got the first round of Jello Shooters.

After a few, Duane started gettin' all touchy feely and had something to say to a certain someone.

Saturday at the early hour of noon (the headache said it was early anyway), we all gathered for the MBB golf tournament.

Scott (70DropTop) and Dave's (RM00123) cars

Joe (Sanborn Jr.) and Dave's (Sanborn) cars

Duane (blue65coupe) and Ron's (beachpony) cars

Getting ready to swing the sticks.

The course (Adventure Landing for those wanting to book reservations)

Dave Sanborn and crew on the front 18. That's right, this place boasts a whoping 36 holes!!

Steve (AtlanaSteve) and family on the links.

Randy (Midlife), John (Ponyman66), and his son Michael.

My wife Jennifer and son Wyatt.

My son Wyatt posing after making par. He'd go on to beat Jennifer and I both.

After the the serious beatings were handed out, we headed out on the town for a cruise. Ron's car is missing because that's where I'm sitting. And somewhere along the way we picked up a '66 painted "Go to Hell Yellow."

And here's the bastard child fox body. Seriously though, its a sweet car with unbelievably low milage.

Everyone back at Ron's

Time for Awards.
First Place Golf: Scott reigns supreme taking the trophy for the second year.

Second goes to Randy.

Third is Joe who has already left us to hit the bars. A chip off the old block.

And Horse's Ass Dead Last is Gabby. She must've been tired from all that dancing with Duane while Dave was passed out. :mj

And Dave brings in his buddy John to whip us all at changing spark plugs.

Duane wins the first annual Maynard Award but damn if I can remember why. Must be for best looking haircut.

And leave it to Ron to be the host who thinks of everything and even has awards for the kids. Needless to say Wyatt is liked getting a prize for beating Mommy and Daddy at putt-putt. And if you can't tell by the second picture, he loves Lightning McQueen.

Here is the link to my album on photobucket if anyone wants to download them from there. http://s212.photobucket.com/albums/cc36/b_m_harrison/MBB%20II/
Needless to say, it was a great time once again and it was great to see some old friends and meet some new ones. In Randy's case, a new old friend. :toot Maybe the rest of you that didn't come can make it next year. Thanks again Ron for having us and making us feel at home. Till next time.

 

[Fast68back]

Sounds like a great time was had by all!


BTW- Someone tell this guy he has a taillight out...
