Year #13

9/22/2016

 

Good news. Bad news.

 

Terry mixed it up this year and flew out of Albany and I hate change. This is Bob looking for Terry on the flight:

The good news is that usually I’m sandwiched between those two monsters. So hey… pros and cons.

And we’re back! Rocking a brew pub for a classy change of pace. We found Terry.

We managed to make it pretty late courtesy of a 4AM bar called Four Moon Tavern.

 

Oke counting cash late night. (note all the $1 bills)

Terry counting calories

Morning diner is standard fare.

But serendipitously there is a magic 8-ball on the table

Last year we were saying Oke’s responses were drafted from a mental magic 8-ball. He wasn’t pleased with this.

But this year it seems he has a better sense of humor about it.

The old miserable drive to Indiana…

../Purdue%202016/resized/IMG_4094.jpg

Turn the room in to a walk-in cooler. Check.

Meet up with Goose. Check.

Harry’s has a new neon sign this year which is a HUGE throwback.

Way, way back. The Summer that spawned the Purdue trip. 2004 – Newport Rhode Island.

../Purdue%202016/resized/032_032_small.jpg

That’s Terry, Bob and I on the left.

 

Anyway… we’re at Harry’s

../Purdue%202016/resized/IMG_4112.jpg

 

Initials. Check.

../Purdue%202016/resized/IMG_4109.jpg

Goose. Check.

 

../Purdue%202016/resized/IMG_4108.jpg

What was I taking a picture of? Was it the $35.00 Bottle of whisky sign? Or the “Sorry we’re OPEN” sign?

../Purdue%202016/resized/IMG_4115.jpg

 

Corner Upstairs. Check.

../Purdue%202016/resized/IMG_4117.jpg

Cherry penis joke. Check.

../Purdue%202016/resized/IMG_3072.jpg

This is Goose country.

../Purdue%202016/resized/IMG_4121.jpg

 

Fascinated by his lower gear. Cargo shorts and boat shoes.

../Purdue%202016/resized/IMG_4124.jpg

The night goes on…

../Purdue%202016/resized/IMG_4128.jpg

We close the night at Where Else? (Where else?)

../Purdue%202016/resized/IMG_4139.jpg

Just joking we’re back at Harry’s.

../Purdue%202016/resized/IMG_4146.jpg

Except Goose who can’t get in.

../Purdue%202016/resized/IMG_4144.jpg

Bright and early. Let’s do this…

../Purdue%202016/resized/IMG_4149.jpg

Solid tailgate on the field. Nothing crazy. But a nice day.

Brunos for lunch

Back to Harry’s….

../Purdue%202016/resized/IMG_4257.jpg

../Purdue%202016/resized/IMG_4260.jpg

Lot’s of hugs.

../Purdue%202016/resized/IMG_4267.jpg

 

../Purdue%202016/resized/IMG_4274.jpg

State Street shit show.

../Purdue%202016/resized/IMG_4277.jpg

Oke and Goose manage to double down on Where Else? But that was it for me…  

../Purdue%202016/resized/IMG_4282.jpg

Morning comes. Time for a quick stop at Triple XXX!

../Purdue%202016/resized/IMG_4287.jpg

 

The good old days when we went to Triple XXX at night (2012)
