Hola kanigits... I would like to extend a wish for all knights....to have a prosperous new year and to make merry all season long....

The Big Chip

Nice pic of most of the knights, I do notice that the "children" are missing.

     Congrats once again oh Kingly one!  It is a weird feeling walking out of your place of employment knowing that you are never coming back.  I remember the day like it was yesterday and it has been almost six years for me now.
     I am getting things together for the annual trek to the "Big Chip" myself.  It should be a great time!  Looking forward to seeing all  of the "daffy" knights!    

King Retires (finally)

Well the King (this is me) has gone and done it; retired. Today is the first full day, having walked out of Toyota yesterday at 11:45. What a totally weird feeling that was, not having a job anymore. I celebrated with a couple of Leines and a hamburger for lunch. I have a bottle of champagne but decided to save it for the first full day. Zoot and I will split that this afternoon, maybe I'll have the boat put back together by then. I'm adding some courtesy lights by the consoles and I'm moving the marine antenna, hoping the GPS/Fishfinder will stop sending those nasty signals to the radio.

Leaving for the summer trip on Friday July 5, heading up to the Big Chip for annual debauchery and horseshoes. Should be a good trip, bunch of local boys headed up. Sir Lancelot is a new captain (again), hopefully his last new boat.

I see that our king has been working on the site.  I like the new look.  I have been searching for pictures of our past trips, but alas to no avail.  Hopefully all of us will start taking a few more snaps to preserve the memories of these crusades.

King

Well King it looks like we are off and running somewhat.  Once everyone figures this thing out, it should make for some interesting commentary and daring do.

New boat owner

After having spent 4 years at the rank of "boat bitch", I'm happy to report I will any day ascend to the rank of Captain once again. I've even been preparing for our summer trip in advance this weekend unlike the last several trips when I've thrown it together at the last second. Life is slowing down again a bit and I am the better for it.

Brian is looking forward to his first fishing trip with his dear old Dad and I don't think he has ANY idea what is in store for him. I don't think he has any knowledge of The Knights of Ni. I think he will want to come back every year or at least every other like I did when I still had school age children.

Looking forward to it. Except the drive there. And back. What does the airline charge for a boat??

I guess that it worked.  The Knights are preparing for another crusade to the north.  We are shipping out for the "Big Chip" on July the 6th.  It should be a grand time as it will be a celebration of our King's retirement.  Can't wait.
