Bob Ackles' book - The Water Boy

[I_Bleed_Orange]

Because I did not read this post, I was very surprised today when I received "The Waterboy" in the mail as a gift from Dave Braley.
Thank you Mr. Braley.

Since it took 3 or 4 more days to get this gift in Victoria than Vancouver, I assume that Canada Post is still using a rowboat to get the mail to Vancouver Island.

Still waiting up north. Guess the sled dogs got tired of pulling without snow under their feet.

I finally finished the book today! I haven't been home much and have been squeezing in reading time while on the bus! :P

It's REALLY good! Anyone who hasn't read it yet...you're going to love it! I was hooked right away =)

I just got mine today Eric, so the rowboat seems quicker then the horse and carriage they send out to Maple Ridge...:p

Horse AND Carriage?

There's no way that's gonna make it up the Gold Rush trail... I ain't ever gonna see that book 8)

Read the first 3 chapters so far, it's great!

[Soundy]

I'm through the first two chapters. Not generally big on biographical stuff, but this is some great reading!

[Shaggy]

I totally enjoyed the book. I wish it was 3-4 times longer.
It was just such an interesting read. I had a hard time putting it down.

Thanks for the heads-up on that, Robbie....... would Costco allow non-member shmucks like me -- or do they exercise strict quality control?

I guess if it's by the entrance, they might allow you. But if it's inside the store, you may have to ask a member to bring you in as a guest.

I already got mine signed at Sports And Stuff!

Best book I've ever read! Finished it in two nights!!

[Robbie]

Did any of you go see Bob Ackles at Costco today?

I'm more than half way through Bob's book and it is a great read.

Ended up staying on the same floor at a hotel, he recognized me from one of his book signings, gave a smile and "Hello" then made small talk while waiting for the elevator. Ackles is a class act all the way.
