Rhino's was "WIDE OPEN"….
For the 9th Straight Year! Oh My!

The 9th Annual Rhino's "Wide Open" started as usual, with early tee times, so we could get back to The House of Reid, for the first (and last?) post-golf fund-raiser!!

After breakfast at Maggie's (a switch from Hayes Street) it was time for the Commish of Golf--the honorable Smilin'  Jim--to kick things off. The blind draw had already taken place at the Rhino's Party so there wasn't much cipherin' - we just had to get up and smack'em!

The teams: 
Green Machine - Greener, 3D, Matt, and Quiet.

Originals - OD, Carm Boy, Slomax, and Gordo.

Staches - Rocko, JR, and Hands.

Young and Restless - POD, Pat, Reid Sr., Doug, and Mike Montgomery.

Nite Crawlers - Walkbucks, Smilin Jim, Sparky, and Dak (for Morgy who was "detained")

Controversy was brewing as the Nite Crawlers called upon Dak (late arrival from Chico) to replace Morgy--who was MIA. Many thought this had been planned in advance--but no one submitted to a lie detector test, so it may as well have been reported in the Enquirer!

The weather was perfect, and the battle was hard-fought in the trenches, with beers and shots as usual, and it was the Nite Crawlers who took the prize (-3) allowing Smilin Jim to be on the winning team for the first time!

Other notables:
Longest Drive--Rocko--Again
Closest to Pin #15--Smilin Jim 
Closest to Pin #17--POD

The real winner here was our fund-raising effort for Multiple Sclerosis, as we donated $100 from shirt sales, another $360 from golf prize money--that winners gave back, and another $340 was raised at The House of Reid during the Chinese Dinner.

On this one day we raised a total
of $800 for Kathie Reid and her efforts for MS!

                    Way to go!!

Time for a group photo after the 9th Annual Rhino's WIDE OPEN!! The chimney tilts more and more each year!

The "Chronicles of Fishin" for the 32nd…

fish must have known it because they were nowhere to be found. Finally went back to 44D--had some cocktails, and then did dinner for 20--ribs (thx 3D) Pork Loin (thx Bucks) chicken (thx HFTB-BT) with some Taters, Beans, and home-made Slaw (thx to Tommy Boy) to boot.

Thursday June 2nd: Not the usual gathering in Lone Pine--Omar and his crew didn't show, and OD was coming in via Vegas , Walkbucks left at midnight to drive all night--but LTR, T, CR, Carm Boy and OD were all at Rhino's Thursday to start the partay!
Friday June 3rd:  The usual suspects started showing up at Rhino's around 10:30 AM, and the greeting committee felt obligated to stay on and welcome late arrivals--rather than getting to camp to set up. Bullmeisters were in the house! The greeting committee was in the bag by the time HFTB and Marko Porno showed up--but the Commish did remember to deliver a card from Jason dated 6/3/02 to Porno-a $40 B-Ball bet payoff had finally been delivered --shit--who needs FedEx baby! No big fish had been reported, so we closed Rhino's in anticipation. Even CR, LTR, and T hung 'til closing (huh?) but then we discovered they only had to walk to the WRL.                                 Saturday June 4th:  After a rather late night for all, some still managed to get some line wet on Saturday morning. Most seemed

to head for the Res, on shore or in a boat--and fish were caught. CR, LTR, T, Lewd, OD, POD, John, and Johnny took out Bill Reid's pontoon, and Kevin Bernard and his posse were on the Res in their boat too--and he clocked the first keeper at 3lb 3oz.
At Rhino's in the afternoon, Sparky started his T-shirt sale and we hung at Rhino's until 10:00PM--before heading back to 44D  to Hands new 5th wheel palace for some cards. Seven to play cards and HFTB--uh--he was Here For The Beer!
Sunday June 5th: After a long night and early morning of cards, all the old shits tried to make the early buzzer for fishin'! Bad things comin' because the WIND was up even in camp! Tried the Res but as Bucks, Mayor, and Sparky were heading out--Smilin', Carm Boy, Tommy Boy, and Matt were already coming back in? Oops--time to renegotiate the boat rental! Tried the shore but got a BJ there too--so went to hays Street for breakfast! Tried the Lower Twin out of the wind--but the
