I sure hope she gets rehired. A week and a half ago she was told there was no chance of her contract getting re-upped, then she was told a week later taht 2 of the 3 social studies positions that they had just cut would be getting re-upped(one teacher left to go do her masters, and the other 2 were temp contracts). So it's her and the other teacher that were on temp contracts going for this position, but the other guy is trying to relocate to another county. Her main hurdle is all of the teachers that were just laid off down here, over 500 were let go in our county, 1100 in the county directly to the southwest of us, and the county just south of us said they were going to have to let over 700 go but over 400 filed for retirement so who knows. It's nothing but politics though as all of the positions have to be rehired back due to state class size amendments. There just trying to have a bunch of teachers on temp contracts so they can't get tenure or full benefits.

Hopefully we'll find out this week as the application deadline is tommorrow. And she needs to go see her grandmother in Tom's River as she isn't doing well. And it just so happens I'm pushing for the get together time frame to go:sly:.

Yeah Baby, and good luck to her, and you on the job situation.

Ferm, that would be totally awesome if you can pull it off....and Reel, you and Ferm in the same boat would be ...... well, it would be awesome also. Looking forward to seeing both of you in July... Ya baby!! :clap::clap:

Just around the corner...will be good to see you guys again...:beer:...and see some new faces as well!!...:hi:

But there is no way I am going to make it with out being a problem for others!
I was really wanting to go to this but not this time maybe the next???

I know you been havin some issues lately and if those have slowed you down that's understandable....but if it's problems for others that's keepin you home, FORGET that and come on!!...OTHERS will be happy to see you and gladly deal w/whatever they can to have you there...I'm pretty sure I speak for everyone here...:clap:

MJ has some health issues that he and I discussed. It actually may be a bit risky for him to be away from the hospital or doctors care even for just the weekend. One bad chain of events without immediate care could cause him to go into complete kidney failure, so it may be best for him to bow out at this time.

Thanks, CB...it's easy to see why MJ considers you a good friend...

how about a quick head count.

ken and sue and daughter and friend.

Willy is in

As it stands right now theres about a .01% chance of me making it. Things have went from bad to looking possibly OK and then to even worse. I may still head up to JERSEY, but most likely not for the get together.

color me in :party:

michele ,myself and our various children are in

I'm there for at least Saturday at Tices. Maybe will have wife ...it's still up in the air if she can get off from work or not. :head:

I gonna snag GarageNC in NC on my way thru...right now, planning to come up on Fri and back on Mon...

WOO HOO Road Trip :sand: :sun: I'm hope Reel is ready for a road trip with MR. Krinkle :you:.

All right Ozzie, myself and the Krinkle Man are set in the Holiday inn on Rt. 72 next to Rt.9.
still trying to figure where I am going to slip the boat, but it should be fun.

we're there of course.....

Well fellas, wish I could make it but there is zero chance of it now. The wife has an interview tommorrow and another next Tuesday.

Good luck to her Ferm, I hope it pans out

On another note, all you guys check out the post"Very Impotent Stuff"

I just found out that the local Sea Ray dealer will be sponsoring an Aquapalooza at Tices on Sat. A huge raft up with a barge set up with live bands playing. Should be a good time.

Pete, ya left out the best part...Aquapalooza will add to the "scenery" big time!!...a good day for watchin the puppies!!...:clap::sun:...sound like a dirty old man?...YEAH BUDDY!!...:beer:

Pete will we meet up north of the dock there at tices , I plan on leaving sat morning 930 10 ish

I hope I am not getting the place confused but where is there a dock at Tice's

Are you guys talking about the look out deck there? near where the walk thru to the beach is?

There is a small look out deck where you can access the boardwalk/beach. Last year we tied up North of that area. Its usually a little less crowded in that area and we might actually be able to find each other. I'm planning on being there this weekend and possibly staying over Friday-Sat or Sat to Sun. Hope to see you all there.

You guys want to pick a radio channel now, I am usually on 65 or 68 up in Raritan Bay.

Ozzie
I think we are going to be the only southerners there, Do you think we ought to get us a interpreter, I'm not sure I'm going to be able to learn Nawthern talk in a couple of days. :you:

Lee we'll talk slow:you:

Talk slow, LMAO:clap:

Bring tea with you as they don't know what real tea is up there. And you'd be surprised to see how many normal people there are in Jersey, I know I was shocked when I met my inlaws and they were normal. Iexpected em to be like all the migratory jerseyians we get down here every year.

I might be a little later. Sat. morning I have to pick up my kids in Cream Ridge. I will try to get em as early as I can.

When I had the restaurant open, this fast-talkin' salesman from up north somewhere stopped by and started his speel....I let him go for a while, then looked him right in the eyes and said...You know, you talk faster than I can listen...

Lee...me n you can practice talkin' faster on the ride up!!...:sun:

Mr. Krinkle is looking forward to boxes of Glo sticks to hand out at a establishment that serves adult beverages. :cen::beer:

Ok, there has to be a hilarious story behind the Mr. Krinkle and glo sticks thing. Do tell, please.

OK, on the road, leaving now to p/u FishBones and her new motor.
Y'all have a safe trip


P.S Nipper that is not a conversation for the board. But I can tell you Krinkle is apparently southern version of Saran Wrap. Now the rest you will have to let your mind wander

Capt. Pete, "Aquapalooza" - You thinking what I'm thinking?

Have fun now. Wish I was there..

BTW - Destroyer, sometimes you gotta drop some heavy base to get the crowd frenzied. (ie I can't see Roy getting it done on the pole.) All in fun,
Be safe and post up some pics...:you::beer::beer:

Tices Tomorrow
 

Hey guys, haven't been on the site in a bit (= boats running good). Just noticed this thread, I was going to be at tices tomorrow anyway was wondering where your going to be. It its cool i would like to swim by and say hello, any idea on where your anchoring?

The plan is to start anchoring up at the north end of the pack near and or north of the board walk that you can use to cross over to the beach. Looking forward to seeing you and any other Jersey boys....I know there is lots of us!
