Marlin on Vacation
« on: Aug 02, 2004, 09:02:19 PM »
A while back we some of us here at the shop thought Marlin should get out for a little vacation. So we wrapped him up in an over sized life vest and packed him onto a boat of refugees headding back to cuba.

While on the boat he found the machine shop and with no crawlers to build he decided to create new line of jewelry.

Marlin starts by working on a farm and eventually buys a horse to get into the big towns

Well I don't know if the story above is completly true but I can say he came back with the above photos on the camera and it's the best I could figure out.

Happy vacation Marlin!

Thats funny, but that first pic looks like a final "self shot" before abandoning ship.

It would seem like that but thats some of Marlin's sence of humor. That pic of him selling jewlery is damn funny.

Hey Chris, Great job!  :thumbs: My dad had such a great time on vacation. I am glad you posted this.

does Marlin not smile? doesnt seem to happy for being on vacation

Yes, my dad does smile. (see photo)  But it is all part of his sense of humor, especially the donkey picture.  What a great blackmail picture for me he, he, he. Now all you need is a picture of the midnight buffets Marlin so dearly loves!  :love:
