We had a really tough time floating around the Caribbean and being waited upon hand and foot. It was grueling but we made it and are now comfortably ensconced in our humble abode in Virginia.
What did I miss?

@john-barry, Clever move, Jack! What a sneaky way to determine who all the rebels are!

Welcome back. The lounge got a little messy while you were gone so we brought in a fire hose, scrubbed and washed the place down from top to bottom.
As you will see - All is in order now.

Thanks for acknowledging my screening tactics JK. The ballots sent out were done on pink and aqua paper, so those faithful to your Moderatorship would know what was up and play along. I am happy to report the "coup" was a resounding failure; other than a few who thought the question "Do you support a coup" related to a possible Forum Special model offering and replied "yes, any body style is fine but please change the color selection."

Kudos to you and your crew Frank on a tremendous scrubbing effort. Sad though that the existing pink and aqua interior paint was done in oil base.

Sorry to hear the coupe attempt was not successful. Perhaps we can propose a convertible attempt?
