He hit a rock bar. Put a 4" hole in the side of the suction housing. Him and Erica are fine. The boat has been recovered and it's not in too bad of shape.

I want to sincerely thank everyone that helped in the recovery of all the seat cushions and engine cover and a lot of the contents in the Hallett.

Thanks Danny Reardon and others for getting the Hallett to the beach, you saved the boat.

Thanks to whomever recovered Erika's purse and personal belongings as well as my cell phone, it still works.

Whoever thought that I did not deserve to get my wallet, government and personal keys, debit and credit cards back and all the contents in the camera bags back, FUCK YOU. 

I saw the photos of the camera bags that night, camera bags don't unzip by themselves.

I would have gladly given you the two hundred + dollars in my wallet. 

I truly don't think it was anyone from SoCalJetboats that took advantage of my misfortune.

Whether they know it or not, whoever it was that stole or destroyed government property in my wallet, camera bags, there were building entry key cards as well as building keys, committed a Federal offense. 

I work at Edwards AFB.

If the perp happens to read this post and they want to make amends please contact me or Brad by (PM) or whatever. 

I will forgo OSI and federal prosecution if you come forward, however, if I find out who you are and I don't get restitution I will do everything to make your life miserable

I can forgive, however, even at my old age I rarely forget.  Beware.

Yours truly

Hallett Dave

Once again Brad you nocked it out of the park.
Thanks and I want to thank everyone in attendance.
Give me a call when you get a chance. 
Billy B called me this week.
He had a lot of good things to say about the SoCal events.

I feel your pain Mark.
I was just talking to my older sister yesterday about this.
50 years ago at the age of 16 I was with our 16 year old Boxer, Maximillian the Great the Third, when we had to make that decision. 
My dad showed Max for a while.  He was the most beautiful Boxer I have ever seen and my best friend growing up.
I have never personally owned a dog since that sad day.

Mark,
We will be at the River house this weekend.  Give me a call if you are at the Willow pad.

I wish. 
We will be at our Mojave Valley river house July 21-25.
Probably launch out of Needles or Willow Valley.
If anyone is out and about and you see the Hallett give us a shout out. 
Dave

We were finally doing it. Normally we Cruze up from our place in Willow valley Via boat and visit for awhile. Not this time! We booked a room  for Friday & Saturday night and going to be able to hang and party with everybody this time. We're leaving the boat  at home this trip it's just too much launching & retrieving at the Avi with two little girls. This weekend will be all about relaxing and hanging out. Can't wait.

Mark,
Bring the boat damn it!!!!!!
There are plenty of SoCalJetBoat Hooligans willing to lend a hand launching and retrieving. 
Erika and I always need a hand as well.

We got promotional support from Michelada Love. They are an all natural mixer to put in your beer to make a Michelada aka Red Beer. A free bottle will be placed in all rooms that are booked under the group rate. Group rate code expires tomorrow (wednesday april 27th) at midnight so book right away.



Also, there was a fire at the hotel yesterday. It was only storage shed, but the fire was caused by fireworks. That being said, even though they sell fireworks in the gas station, there is no fireworks allowed in the parking lot. There is a designated area on the north side of the hotel - opposite side to where the boat parking is. Because of this recent fire, there will be a zero tolerance for fireworks. You will be banned from the hotel.

Also, wristbands will be required to be on the beach. Make sure you get yours when you check in. For those of you who aren't staying at the hotel, but are planning on hanging out at the beach - come find me. I will have extras on me.

Brad,
Erika, Nate and I as well as Gil and Brenda will need wrist band assistance.
Do you accept EBT? 

All right you Nor Cal brothers, how is New Melonnes right now as far as water level?
I used to meet up with some members of Laid Back Boaters a few years ago in mid September.
The camp grounds were great and it always a good time hanging out with Cas, Sleek Vino, Billet Racing, Carrera Dude and many others.
The Tower Park trips were always fun as well.
I hope you all have a great season up north.

Nice boat and nice hood ornament.

I have one, you could use

That is what I have always loved and respected about you Jim, always ready to help a boater out.
I enjoyed spending time talking with you at the AVI last year. I hope to see you soon.
Dave

This fucked my whole day. I love the Hag. At least I was lucky enough to see him 4 times in concert the last time was last year in Bakersfield. I even have a Merle Haggard Dr sign on the front of my river pad. Just sittin here in my hunting hat tonight listening to the Hag.

Rest in piece Merle.....
