unsure when I will be arriving. currently I have reservations thurs-sun, but I am trying to get the crazy eights ready for the Burley race...which is the following weekend that I am leaving next Wednesday morning for. I have limited time to work on it and need every bit of time I can get. I had a pretty set schedule to make this race, but Jeg's just fucked up my order and didnt ship it out today as promised, so rather than getting the parts I need by Wednesday, I wont see them until Thursday now.

So it looks like I wont arrive until Friday morning - worst case friday night.

I wrote jegs a not so polite email. They just recalled the package and resent my package via overnight so it should be here no later than tomorrow afternoon.....still unsure when i will show up there - all depends on how the next few days go working on the boat. I need to get as much done as possible, as after this weekend I literally have 8 combined hours to work on it before i leave for burley.  :thumbdown: I hate crunching shit like this.

explain.

Sorry, I was half drunk and as usual, stopped reading after the first sentence to make my reply.  I though you were hinting towards the fact that you might not make it.  Reading it with both eyes open, I can see you'll just be a bit late. 

Carry on.   :thumbup:

We'll be on the road in an hour I hope.  I'm packed (board shorts on, sandals on, beer in the cooler and a few t-shirts stuffed in the glovebox) but I'm sure the wife will have a list of more shit when she gets home.  See you guys tomorrow.

What's the hold up?  It's lonely out here by myself. I'm hanging out on the Parker side of the dam but was thinking about heading to Big River on Thursday.  Who's gonna be hitting the water tomorrow?

PS. I've got almost two cases of apple pie ready.

We plan on boating up from Water Wheel on Saturday. Will everybody be hanging out on the day beach in front of Big River like they have in years past? Or is there a plan to head someplace else?

Theres 3 spots we all usually hang out. Either at the beach, sand bar or cove. All 3 are north of the beach.

Come on up.  You can get in a couple hours of water time before it starts flowing down there.  If you come up to Emerald Cove come in to the left of the guard shack and don't stop (pretend you own the place), drive straight toward the water and take a left on the last road. I'm almost to the end of the road.

About 6 miles past the bridge to Parker on the Cali. Side.  There is a billboard sized sign at the entrance.  Watch for borro's if you come up.

Cool.  Probably an hour or so. 

Hey, is there a guy named Steve Ledford in you
Park?   He's got a newer Tige ski boat and a old yellow circle boat.
