Wood, Rat, anyone else that gives a damn, the Monkey is out for this year.
Do I expect to get hazed about this? Yup!
Would I expect anything else? Nope!
Do I feel like crap havng to bail on this? Yup!
It's a simple matter of finances, and me not having them to make the trip this year. I had a few things crop up (like a nasty little water bill thanks to a leak in my sprinkler system) that I need to address, and unfortunately, that leaves me little money for anything else.
I'll tell you what I will do, though. I will send a cut out of myself you can take to the track and run over with your rigs, throw darts at, burn in effigy, take a leak on or whatever twirls your skirt.
My sincere apologies to you, Woodie. I hate leaving you hanging in the wind like this, but I know you understand...family first.
Rat, sorry I wasted any time looking up hotels and the like. Hopefully it'll benefit the others.
Can't wait to see pictures, though! From the looks of it, shaping up to be a helluva good time!
