The 1999 summer bash was held on Saturday, August 28.  The summer of 99 made its appearance by gracing us with clouds, cool temps, and a 10 minute shower.  Fortunately, the shower was all the rain we had.  Good thing!  Even with the crappy summer we've been having, a good time was had by all.  We managed to stay outdoors, eat lots of grub, attack the keg, and consume George Hill's Black Russians (YUMMY!).

 

Once again, special thanks to the crew from the bay area that flew up just for the party. George Hill and MJ Austin you are the best!   Not only did they fly up, but they did a great deal of the setup work and threw in some yard work.  Way cool!  Karen and I definitely appreciate your efforts.   Thanks

 

George Hill George tries to show off his powers over spherical objects.  Hum, maybe a few more Black Russians and he'll have it.
Here we go!  MJ shows George how it is done.   Of course MJ doubles as a pool hall shark when she is not breaking the code. MJ Austin
The Bender clan She's doing it again!  You can't tell by that cute smile, but Lisa is cracking the whip.  Notice that Lisa is sitting comfortably in a chair while Rich tries to figure out how not to get smacked yet again by the whip.
BABY!

Should I?  Hum!  Just a little cut and paste and Lynn can be quite revealing.  Nope, I'm smarter then that.  I'm just not into pain.

Darleen and Forest Meet Forest and Darlene.  Forest is your all around network guru.  I met him at Wall Data where he'd constantly get our half-baked network back up and running.  Darlene on the other hand, knows everything about me since she's my mortgage lady.  I have to be nice to her.
Scott (left) is quite happy because he gets to spend some quality dad time with his oldest son Marshall (on right) who just moved out of the house to go to the UW.

Marshall is looking for the veggie food.

George moves in for the score George you dirty dog!  Always trying to cop a feel eh?  Here George dives in at the last moment to get himself in with Brigitte (left) and Diane (right).  Nice job George!  Who could blame you.
Now here is a scary shot.  George and Stewart re-wiring my house.  OH SHIT!  Actually, Stewart is educating George on the principles of installing your very own generator.

A few months ago Stewart had to rewire the mess that the professional electrician made.  Muchas Gracias Stewart.

George and Stewart
Stewart and Deborah Well, after about 5 years, we finally get to meet Mrs. Sherwood.  We were wondering if the photo on Stewart's desk came with the frame.   Many many parties were attended by Stewart, but no Mrs.  So here we finally meet her.  Deborah was so charming and intelligent that for a few minutes we wondered if he hadn't hired an actress to throw us off.  Good job Stewart!
Bob and Sally, what can you say.  They always look so happy.  Hard to believe she hasn't kicked him out yet.  Bob is a pilot, so Sally must be holding out for that life insurance. Bob and Sally Cross
Scott jams on I can always count on Scott to jam on.  I was disappointed that no one else brought their instruments.  However, Scott more than carried the load.  Later on Stewart actually jammed with Scott's guitar.
Aspiring authors Marta and April are practicing big smiles for all the fans who will some day line up to get their books signed.  And you can say you saw them here first. aug29_17.jpg (40013 bytes)
Scoot and Brigette Watch what you touch there buddy.  They do make a very nice looking couple though.
Lynn and Jeanne wonder what the heck they are doing with such geeks for hubbies.  Oh yes, that's right, Lynn isn't married yet.  She has just been shacking up with Steve for the past 10 million years.  What is wrong with Steve? Lynn and Jeanne

The night is over By midnight, Sam and I had had it.  So we did what comes natural, we crashed!
