Before the rally my step-father asked if I could make the Stanley cup finals if he bought tickets. Um, hell yeah! It did however present a significant change of plans. Instead of a relaxing final month it would be a sprint to the finish and a rush to shutdown Strikhedonia for the hurricane season in San Carlos where she would rest until the fall.
Jason (Volare) cooked up an awesome enchilada dinner for Jody/Randy (Free Luff) and me. It was a great evening before we went our separate ways for the summer
