AHOY MATES---or is it just AAAAARW----yes it's talk like a pirate week-end again and this is our 3rd year to celebrate it here. When Allan came up with this idea we had never heard of this national holiday. Yes it is a national holiday--check it out. We did. Old-Town has made this quite an event. Seems everyone wants to participate. Decorations and costumes and even many spectators join in the fun. There are many strange characters roaming the streets of Old-Town. Then we have some cute little pirates hanging around like Esther, Nikki, Mesha, Chrisanne and a few others. We hope you (checked) out our (pirate ship) parked-----we mean docked---near the office. This year we have added 2 great looking canons mounted on the bow. These were designed and constructed by our own Captain Gary, a very dedicated cruiser and a member of our very capable crew. If you checked his golf cart--we mean his pirate ship---you would find a beautiful treasure chest also designed and built by Gary and yes it did have treasures in it. Good job Gary--we appreciate you and all you do for us. Good looking outfit Allan--we mistook you for a real pirate. Thank you Geri, Tracy and all involved in making this a great night. Some say we act like a bunch of kids, well lets make that Captain Kidds, we have fun here and that's what life's all about. Come out and join us any Wednesday, Friday or Saturday for a great cruise.

We had our S 10 Chevy pickup and we had a full line of early birds in line by 5 o'clock. Lee and Gary registered us and we began another happy cruise. We talked to Paul Brennan from Kissimmee, who spent a long time decorating his 2001 Ford Ranger for this event. He had his buddy with him who also has a great looking pick up truck. Maurice and Amber Wood drove over from Zypher Hills for their first Friday night cruise with us. They have a very nice 1977 Yellow El Camino, we hope to see more of them. Also Ted and Bev Wozniak had their rare 1981 Imperial. They reside in Port St. Lucie.

Our PT Cruiser gang was back on block 4 with Wolfman and Bill Hunter and their great trucks. Also a couple of Pirates, Jon and Angie and Chuck and Jade were also there. Paul Harrold and Nikki were also there. Congratulations Nikki for your win in the Olympics.

Tony and Susan, from Tex-Mex Express were back with their Mercedes Benz, thanks Tony for everything. It is always good to see Ken and Sharyn Dodge in their favorite spot. We miss them when they are not here. They had the 78 Ford with them tonight.

Most of the regulars were out tonight, sorry we don't have the space to mention all names but you are all important cruisers to us and the cruise.

We had another sponsor tonight, the Pirate Dinner Show, they generously gave two dinner tickets away. Our good friend George Pennachi, a Friday and Saturday cruiser was the lucky winner, Congratulations and thanks George.

We had 193 beautiful cruisers to register tonight. Our Cruise-O-Matic will go to $200.00 next week. No takers tonight. Our 50/50 was $39.00 and went to Tony and Susan from Tex-Mex Express. Congratulations and welcome to our cruise.

Cruiser of the month for September is Freddyson Quinones with his 2003 Yellow S 10 Xtreme.

See you all next week.
