Plover migration starts tomorrow

Sally plover has been hard at work getting all the nestlings organized. Some are bringing food and others are bringing bevvys. Nesting materials are being brought as well including spare stuff for the overseas plover who is coming to town.

Yes, a special plover visit by Topper plover all the way from Dubai. Boy will his wings be tired.

Won't really be beach weather as it is only supposed to be in the 30s tomorrow with a little snow to start here. But I am sure the nest will be warm and dry and we will bevvys to keep us warm as well. Maybe make some Clyde steamers? Would have to get the Pres to stop and borrow a bottle of Glayva from PCC.

A pretty low key celebration for the Old Barny relighting from what we can find out. The light will go on automatically at dusk and they will have a piper playing. Will have to get some pictures for posting.

Plovers delay migration

The plovers will be in LBI for New Years and the relighting of Old Barny. Here is the best I could do to get some of the house pics off the web.

The hot tub is closed for the season but there is a bar and a pool table. Maybe I will bring a dart board. Or maybe not, drunk plovers and pointy objects might not be a good combination.

If this place works out, who knows, might be the new LBI CC headquarters.

New Years Eve in LBI

Looks as though some plovers will be taking a Trip to LBI for New Years Eve and the lighting of Old Barney!! Geee maybe some Ninjas will have to plan an attack at a certain house...hmmmm

Harvest best costume

The winners of the best costume............

Final Plover result at the Harvest

Plovers Foxy, JP, Lulu and the Pres could not quite pull out a win in the final of the second event. It was a hard fought game and came down to last rock.

More importantly they did win the prize for best team costume on Saturday night. The theme was "Legends of Rock" so being the outside-the-box thinkers they came as Mt. Rushmore. Yep, complete with rock colored wigs, a complete granite casing and trees strategically placed to cover the beer. They posed for many pictures and will have those soon to post.

Plover Plummage

Sally plover in full plummage. Hopefully this is a temporary thing. If not her sales call with her President on Tuesday will be interesting.

Plovers win

Well the Plovers won a game today. They are on Saturday at 4:30. That means an early cocktail party at the hotel were everyone is staying. Lots of food and a few drinks.

Picture of Sally plover to be posted next.

Plovers build a nest

The busy little shore birds lost their first game. So, they returned to the warm room and built a nest. You can see plover JP here as he is doing the nest dance. In the background is bird watcher Jay. Plovers back on the ice again Friday night.

Plovers on the road again

A group of Plovers will be migrating to Paoli, PA for the Philadelphia curling club and the Harvest bonspiel.

Check back later for all the details as this group of shore birds attempts to wade through all the local pubs. Watch out for that undertow from the fourth beer!

Founder's aftermath

Well, we made it to Sunday. But couldn't make it to a final. Had a draw to the four foot on my last shot to win and was a tad heavy. Oh well.

The Pres and Foxy were in the first event final. Will have to bug her about what happened.

Now onto the good stuff.

The Plover girls went to the "So you think you can dance" thingy on Thursday. They went to Newark a little early for dinner which was a little late as they got lost. They had fun at the concert and were dancing as they came off the train.

Friday night at the club was pretty subdued. Although JP did make a drunken trip to the attic to power up the disco ball. At least if he had fallen off the ladder it probably would not have hurt too much.

And speaking of hurting. The LBI Margaritas whipped up a batch on Saturday night for all to consume. Some consumed more than others and I heard that there were some hurting puppies late that night. Given this, I think Andy from Pittsburgh may have been partaking as well.

The new guys from Columbus curling club learned all about Canadian dice. There was a little poker played. And DC will be happy to hear that the karaoke machine broke so there was no late night howling.

All in all a lot of fun.

Plovers on the road

Sally Plover and me are off to Plainfield this weekend to battle for the Golden Shovel in the Founder's bonspiel. Playing under the LBI banner with Lulu and JP. Lots of other plovers will be there as well. Need to hit them up for some money as the GNCC dues bill came in.

Before the bonspiel starts, Sally, Lulu and the Pres are off to the Prudential Center in Newark. They are going to the "So you think you can dance" tour. Click on the link to see some of their signature moves.

Sally already has a signature curling move. It is the one where she yells out "Oh Jesus" half way through the slide, then falls over and makes the shot. It is quite the sight to see.

Plovers lose the first one

The Pres was texting with Plover Sally last night. They lost the first game in Chicago to a Swiss team. They did however enjoy some snuff with them after the game. Not sure where that comes from as a curling tradition. A quote from the text "my nose is dripping brown snot". Pleasant picture to paint.

LBI on the road

So, a group of plovers is on the road this weekend to the Margarita spiel in Chicago. Think they are playing under the LBI Margarita banner.

Good luck to the Pres, VP Foxy, LuLu and JP.

And I think we forgot to vote in a member this year. So, we have to fix that.
