Got to meet Mandy

jerry · 06-26-2007, 01:12 PM

If there are still any old timers around here, I'm happy to report that I got to meet Mandy in Puerto Rico. My friend Rusty and I met with him last night. We enjoyed a frosty brew at a local hangout and had some great conversation. Mandy showed us the place where he used to bungee jump when he was a younger guy. He also showed us the rocks where people would bite it

We spent the rest of the good part of the evening talking guns of course. Oh, we couldn't leave the knives out of the mix. That would have been wrong. We got to see a bunch of great diving still pics and video footage too. Mandy takes his diving seriously and does very well at it.

I can vouch for his truck being a very sweet ride too.

I'm actually kind of glad he drove. Like Mandy says, "You gotta get used to it"

If any amount of luck surfaces again, we may get to meet up again.

Rusty took a good pic of us. When we get back I'll have him e-mail it to me, then share it with Mandy for his OK before I post it or anything.

Over the last five years Iv'e been fortunate enough to meet Ox, Shaun, Joe, and now Mandy.

Mandy, keep up your zest for life. I think you have motivated me to get my rods out and change the line when I get home.

Take care everyone

Jerry ...Thanks for the report. on visiting with Mandy. If your meeting with him was anywhere close to as much fun as when we met...that would have been great. That meeting will always be in my memory as one of the hilights since joining Gunandgame.com.

Yes, I'm fully aware that Mandy has been a serious deep sea diver for many years...because of the many pic's he's posted of deep down in the sea. They definitely made me wish I had learned that skill when I was much younger so that I could see the other half of the world which most people never get an opportunity to visit. No doubt there's several G&G members, though, who dive.

well its about time some one met the guy, so when are you coming up this way for some whitetail hunting?

jerry · 06-26-2007, 04:43 PM

Ox,
A very memorable trip indeed Sir. I feel the same.

Hey Colt. Well, If I can ever get my wife to want to make the trip to Messina to visit her kin, that could definitely happen. I hope I haven't missed too many of your e-mails- my wife uses that account mostly & I think she is up to a billion e-mails she has not attended to, LOL

It's great you got to meet Mandy, haven't heard much from him lately. Glad to hear he's doing OK.

Mandy · 09-05-2007, 09:10 AM

Hi guys, I'm guilty of not logging on much lately, but it's due to Truck fever, I got this truck 13 months ago and so much mods that have to be made that I spend most of my online time looking for parts and accesories for this truck.

It was a pleasure to meet jerry, one of the finest people I've ever meet, and Rusty is same as jery for sure, hope to meet you again in my next rip to cont US.

Chris, I would love to meet you too, but don't know where you are so if you come by this route drop me a line and I'll gladly pick you up and show you the real PR.

Dallas good to know you're doing ok too.

Guys between the truck, busy dive schedulle and the new girlfriend that is allways looking for me, I'll make a point to logon to G&G and drop a line here and there.

It's good to know you people care about me and to say the truth, I do care about you (you know who you're), To me G&G is my home and the best forum out there

Mandy
