When I went to the last Bluewater trip, there was a T intersection with a tall sign saying Big River. Is this the same way I want to go, (rice road), or is there a shorter way from the OC ???

Sounds like it! Big ass sign on the opposite side of the road from the T, storage units just as you come down that road, that's the place!

well guys this s a post that sucks to write. I just heard from the repair shop about my truck and now in addition to the $1200.00 tow bill the repair wiil be just over $ 3000.00 .so that coupled with a large tractor repair this summer and the fact that we have had almost no good weather to work this summer hence no harvest means we are not going to be able to come to BR. i was so looking forward to this trip but just not going to be able to swing it so . I f anybody was wanting to go but couldnt get a room I will call and cancel my reservation for room #20. this sucks  :mad:  :mad:  :banghead:

Boating season runs all the way to October down here, keep that in mind.  Sorry to hear about the string of bad luck.  My uncle is a wheat farmer in Oregon and it is definately a boom/bust kinda lifestyle.

Are all the rooms booked?  Do they allow dogs?  Can I seek one in?  My buddy has a place by there and we always hang out at the park next door.  In fact I even have a parking pass but the problem is that he is gonna be in Argentina that weekend.

Catfish Cantina had large stacks and huge cups, and the food was pretty good too........ ;D

But I'd be down for a BBQ deal. I didn't even pay attention if the grilles were still even there.....But I'd volunteer Chili again, unless Keith and Michelle are going to make it, theirs is awesome, and doesn't cause colon concerns the next day, in which case I'll whip up some Dead Dick's bean dip instead....or maybe both anyway for giggles.....

Hey all you Big River guys and gals, I had a thought ( I know dangerous ) I was wondering if anybody might
be up for a morning blast up the strip and maybe breakfast at Roadrunners or Foxes Saturday morning ???
A bunch of jet boats on the strip early would be pretty cool, then back to Big River, just a thought.  :beer: :beer: :beer:

Also hey Keith, we saw in your post with Michelles foot that she broke it in her classroom, my wife is also a teacher
and was curious what class or grade level she edgamacates ?  and bummer she broke it, but I guess you guys will make it work.
At least she had her toenails painted for the cast pic  :thumbup:

Post by: Brad @ SCJB on August 12, 2011, 10:45:02 AM
so as some of you know, i had to move recently on a real short notice. its still biting me in the ass financially. making this trip is looking very grim for me. I am still trying to get things settled here and will know for sure weather I can make it.

i have a room reserved. I want to throw it up for grabs and I will find a floor to crash on. Is anyone still looking for a room at the Big River Inn for this weekend? This would help cut some of the weekends costs down.

The other dilemma:

i got the parts to put the southwind back together and bring it, or i can bring the race boat. (its ready to roll)

if i bring the race boat, i gotta buy a barrel of go-juice for it. Here in town, I am looking at like 10/gal for 110oct...and then im limited to how far i can go as it only has a 7 gallon tank. I can carry or have someone carry some fuel jugs for me....but still, it will be a PITA.

the southwind burned up a bearing on the last trip out and it just needs to be assembled and drop the motor back in it...but i have had ZERO luck with that boat for some time now.

So which should i bring? bust my ass and bring the southwind just to probably take a shit on me again? or bring the faster boat and have some fun?

i know my instinct says dont go blow a shitload of money on gas for the race boat, but then the irresponsible side of me says i wanna do it anyways

Sell the room and put that money towards gas in 888. When you get home, take your time putting the Southwind back together instead of thrashing and fuking something up again. My .02

I would vote that you sell the room and leave both boats at home. You have plenty of friends going that always have a seat for you. This will help you get back on top.

How long before someone bails out and gives up their room.  I'm planning on going but don't want to make reservations somewhere else yet.   >:D   ;)

Answer the white courtesy phone please.

so as some of you know, i had to move recently on a real short notice. its still biting me in the ass financially. making this trip is looking very grim for me. I am still trying to get things settled here and will know for sure weather I can make it.

i have a room reserved. I want to throw it up for grabs and I will find a floor to crash on. Is anyone still looking for a room at the Big River Inn for this weekend? This would help cut some of the weekends costs down.

The other dilemma:

i got the parts to put the southwind back together and bring it, or i can bring the race boat. (its ready to roll)

if i bring the race boat, i gotta buy a barrel of go-juice for it. Here in town, I am looking at like 10/gal for 110oct...and then im limited to how far i can go as it only has a 7 gallon tank. I can carry or have someone carry some fuel jugs for me....but still, it will be a PITA.

the southwind burned up a bearing on the last trip out and it just needs to be assembled and drop the motor back in it...but i have had ZERO luck with that boat for some time now.

So which should i bring? bust my ass and bring the southwind just to probably take a shit on me again? or bring the faster boat and have some fun?

i know my instinct says dont go blow a shitload of money on gas for the race boat, but then the irresponsible side of me says i wanna do it anyways

Bring the 888 & have some fun, or leave em both home & ride with me. Little Towning is only gonna turn 21 once!

Part 2:  Just show up and don't sweat the room.   If you don't sleep, you won't need it anyways.  Prob solved!

Is it complete with a BBC manifold and a couple underdrive pullies?  My compression is a little high in the current motor  ;)

If I can pick it up this weekend I can get it out to BR.

LOL! No, no manifold. Its a pretty raw 6-71 takeoff I'm gonna fire up the Kira on and try my own hand at gasoline conversion and building with. The heads are aluminum 460's so won't do you any good either. But I DO have a set of blower pistons that should fit your engine nicely!  :thumbup:

Besides, you put a blower on that thing, the peg-legged driver is gonna kick BOTH our asses.......... ;D

You can always put bigger pullies on it.  I know we did, could'nt afford the good gas at this juncture.  :(

No, Blower motor's still not complete. In fact the heads for it are being delivered there, unless Pat has an epiphany on the way and decides to dump his whacker and buld a BBF Jet boat!  ;D . And yes, talked myself out of putting it in Pickle. At least for now. Someone doesn't buy it before the October trip, Probably just gonna do it anyway and see if I can sink it or not. We've found a few SST tunnels around, but until I get some cash for this one, no go.  :banghead:

Not sure what we're bringing. We finished up the pump/header/carb/intake upgrades on the Charger (And MAN does it sound pissed off!) so I'm leaning towards that one. I guess friday afternoon we'll decide what we're hooking up to, either the Charger or Pickle.

See you guys Friday Nite!  :thumbup:

It was nice to meet all you guys, including Brad the leader. Now I can put a face too who I'm talking too on the boards. You too Pat, and Gord. Thanks for introducing me to the guys.
