NY Vacation (Modem Scorcher)

Please excuse the link, but it takes forever to re-construct such a lengthy post. Mods, if there is not enough Rolex content, please move to the appropriate spot. Thank you.

Thanks so much. Indeed, my brother is both kind as well as one-of-a-kind.

Great pics. That is quite a house. Do all the rooms face the water?

Boa2,
I was just at Shelter Island last weekend. The company I work for has a weekend "picnic" there every year in August. We take over the Predwin Hotel and The Sunset Inn.
Saturday morning we were leaving the Predwin Hotel to go to the Whales Tail Mini golf we drove right past your brothers house. Hard to miss that one. I told my wife that I had seen that very house on TRF. She thinks I am wierd.
Then as we turned on 114 we pased your brother, well I think it was your brother since there are not too many Black MB station wagons with a cargo carrier on the island. Don't worry I am not a stalker but I figured I would share this little story.
We were there from Friday night to Sunday morning. Saturday afternoon we went to several vineries for some tastings. Glad I was not driving!!!!

Unfortunately the drive home Sunday afternoon took 6.5 hours to Delaware!!!
