Thank You Tree People

“Just wanted to publicly thank mapleleaf, treebeard, and their daughters for taking me to the NY sea aquarium today for a very fun afternoon. Very fascinating animals there (walrus, beluga whales, several different species of sharks, fish up the whazoo, and much more), and not only was it a really good time, but very educational as well. And of course, you guys are great fun to be around. Thanks again!

Let it be known, the tree people are super cool and if you get to chance to hike or hang out with these folks, you won't regret it!

I'll download my pictures and post them later.”

“that's not what goretexx says :>)”

“Trees are so pimp!

“Yes Yes. Hurry with the pics. I need a good one of Mapleleaf!”

“Yes, Folks! We got Artex to come over to this side of the Hudson River without holding a gun to his head. That, in itself, was enough of a triumph to warrant not doing anything and staying in bed for the rest of the day. But, seriously, we began our venture when Artex arrived at our place in Park Slope, Brooklyn. We loaded up into our car and sauntered down to Coney Island, home of one of the finest aquariums in the United States. We started out by watching the feeding of the sea otters and walruses. The black-footed pe=nguins (also known as 'jackass' penguins) were, as always, pretty cool to watch. We had a wonderful day walking from exhibit to exhibit, talking, and learning some pretty cool facts about all the marine life there. We had lunch and finished up around 3:30 PM and headded back. Glad you enjoyed it, Artex. I know we did. Some of the pictures in the link above came out pretty good. Looking forward to our night out this Friday, so we can send our good buddy off the right way on his move to sunny FLA.”

“that's not what goretexx says :>)”

“Jello Fog, go shove up a marshmellow up your a$$.

I'll post my pics soon, I've been having major computer problems, still working on getting it all fixed.”

“No problem, Arty! Great day, man. Looking forward to next week...”

“Likewise, my friend!”

“awesome! as a guy who used to run an aquarium maintenance company, i can tell you i really love fish alot! sounds like ya'll had a great time! i hope to meet ya'll all someday.”

“You too, Strat! Did you see the photos? Some of them came out pretty nice...”

“Yo! Really nice pix! You guys had the artistic mojo amped up, all the pix have something to say : ) The groups shots crack me up and I like the Mapleleaf & Trout reflection too. All the fish shots are way-cool. The shot of the yellow tang makes the fish look see-thru, how'd you do that?
Who was that hairy chick at Blubber Beach that Artex hooked up with... why does this not surprise me?!?

Hey! Didn't you guys get an award this weekend for volunteering at the park?
Congratulations Treepeople @”

“Just some honorable recognition, Capn. But that was rewarding enough. We had a nice time. Glad you enjoyed those pics. The old digital worked some wonders this time.”

“and I like the Mapleleaf & Trout reflection too


well the girl in that shot was mu eldest daughter. I loved that pic. it was my fav.


yes we went to the park. it was very nice. good food, good company and the best part was having all of my family there.

good weeknd!!”

“Funny, she looks alot like mu!”

“Congrats to the Trees for the recognition. Well deserved!

Artex, you sure hang out with wierd women. Does she bite? Gawd, I hope not! She needs a shave, too!”

“I think he liked the tusks, Geo!”

“That might just be the first photo of Artex with an animal that wasn't hanging up by its hooves/paws/fins.”

“there called french ticklers.


heheheh”

“There she goes again. She turned over a new leaf alright, ... a fig leaf.”

“From pottymouth to dirty mind?”

“sorry, i wasnt going to say that but temptaion got the better of me.

but it was funny right??”

“Not to Artex it wasn't!”

“What's a french tickler?”

“Hey Capn, how's married life?”

“Ha ha ha! You guys are too much! :-)

Unfortunately, my camera didn't like the aquarium glass, so my pics came out subpar. Got some great ones of the walruses though, but they look much the same as the Tree people's.

By the way, treebeard makes an awesome turkey salad! His culinary skills should translate well on the trail. ;-)”

“quit hitting on me.......a marshmallow and my a$$, who are you, Richard Gere :>)”

“Turkey salad, huh? After Maple's through wrestling with it?”

“French Tickler = Marshmallow”

“lmao @ Geo...”

“John wasn't the walrus
Paul wasn't the walrus

Artex is the Eggman!


Goo Goo Goo Joob!”

“great pics!”

“Was ther dog fins?
