@miles-ladue Pi, it's always Pi! 🙂 Rally Madame sounds like something on the shady side. Madame RallyMaster sounds just as shady. I'll answer to MJ.
Same place for me again. Same rowdy neighbor.

hmmmmm. The rowdiest neighbor I’ve ever personally witnessed was Sam Ives when he and Maddie were playing!

Somebody has to keep an eye on the Shady Lady.
Morning,
We just booked a lodge room for September. Arkansas was just too far. Have a great riding season.
We’ve gone from winter to summer in one weekend. Heading for groceries and hardware this sunny afternoon. Just have to remember what I driving before buying the 12 foot shelf plank!
And then there’s golf season for both habits.
@rick-johnson Great! Look forward to seeing you. We'll be in site 205, across from the office. Will be there to greet you!
Can I bring WOODEN money ?
Not a joke...our little town of Tenino, Washington actually made wooden money many, many years ago, that was so well made it was accepted at the banks.
Look up the history of Tenino's wooden money.

@rick-johnson Me! I use $2 bills all the time. Most folks respond with "I didn't know they still made these"
@miles-ladue Yes you can! That is an amazing story and solution to a problem. I'll trade you for a Mars National bank coin. I knew that banks at one time printed their own money. I have seen the ones from Mars National in my hometown

MJ, that too is a cool bit of history.
To be clear, our local "wooden money" was actually produced by the local stonecutters, as this tiny little town was founded upon a Sandstone quarry, with most of the West Coast Libraries and Courthouses being built using the sandstone that came from the quarry that is IN our tiny town. That same quarry today is the basis for our local swimming hole, used by the locals as a swimming pool in the town park.
The stone cutters and masons back in those days were true craftsmen, and their work was so refined that they made the wooden money, and it was so well made that it was accepted at most banks back in the last year of the Great Depression.
It is not a joke in our town, that we accept wooden nickels.

There are some documented cases of lunch ladies calling cops when kids try to pay their lunch bills with them.
