Obviously, this is just the "reward competition". I won't have to sit out the immunity round, will I? I'd hate to be the first one voted out of the park!

It's probably a good thing you have a hard top now because I can see
what would happen at the event:

Dewberry would wear her Jeff Probst blue shirt, then line all of us up
aying:

This is a timed event. First you have to decipher the message,
changing all the at to signs, then translating it into French, then
Greek, and finally a pig latin Flemish, all the while reciting the
alphabet backwards, giving the sign language letter for each one while
skipping the vowels as you pass by. Once you have your clue, race to
the back of the jeep. Untie the string that is tied in three Gordian
knots. When you have successfully done that, the zipper pull will
drop. When that happens, pull the zipper, climb into the back of the
jeep. Crawl in the back of the jeep, digging through the 100 pounds of
dirt to find a logbook wrapped in a double zip freezer quart sized
bag. The gallon, two gallen and sandwich bags will get you immediately
disqualified. You're looking for the quart baggie. In that baggie
will be a logbook. Roll over the passenger front seat head rest, head
first. You will now have your feet up in the air. Use your feet to
pull down the sunvisor. A second set of clues will drop. Decode code
that one to read the key to solving the one you had before. You must
do this with your eyes crossed. While you are doing that, reach around
behind you to open the glove box. In the glovebox is an inkpad. Use
the inkpad to ink up that which is at the back of the gearshift. You
must reach through and around the steeing wheel to get to that point.

You guys want to know what you're playing for?
A stamp!

(insert crowd noises of OHHHHHS! and cutaway shots of people smilling
and nodding)

Dewberry: Puddlesplasher, you have the unfair advantage of knowing the
inside and outside of this jeep. You sit out this round. Mother of
Five, you're first up. Survivor ready! (shifts the hands up in the
air while saying) GO!

(Repeat for all contestants)

And all that would just be seriously damaging to your zipper and soft
top.

Hey, we did get Guido's Hand - mi yesterday. How is it that we were
only the second people there since it was planted way back in January??

the back to retrieve them when necessary. Then last spring, we put the
hardtop on the jeep when we moved to McKinney. Now that the car keys
have chips inside, I can't afford "extra" keys to hide in a magnetized
key holder like I used to have ($86 for a spare key? It's cheaper to
have a locksmith come out!). Now I won't be able to sleep with the
image of my car keys locked inside my car.... thanks a lot MoWizLiz!
Hey, looking forward to seeing you again next weekend as well as
Teepsman. (I'm printing out clues like crazy too!)

Because both times dewberry and I were ready to go get it my youngest girls freaked out to the point where it would have been dangerous to take them into a public building.

Going to do some yoga stretches to get ready for dewberry's jeep game...MO5

I have five minutes at home to put up those groceries that must be
refrigerated, wrap a birthday gift, reconfigure my car seats (and
clean out junk) to hold 6 kids and head off to pick up said kids for
OM practice which I am co-coaching today.

So I'm slightly swirly, whirly.....excuse any typos.

I need to change out the container on Surrender Dorothy (raccoons
chewing again) and I haven't been able to find one that will fit the
existing contents. To figure out what to do, I've temporarily removed
the log (there's a temporary logbook in the box). Everything should
be replaced on Friday morning, but I wanted to give a heads-up to
those of you diligently working on it. I may end up cutting & pasting
everyone's sigs into a smaller log book.
