Just wanted to make sure all was well with the charger? hit me up

lol.....i towed in it twice......but it made it back sunday to shore all by itself


im getting weekend pix e-mailed to me from my buddys camers tonight...i post asap

That you did my brother! Actually, it did run pretty good all day Sunday, Brad wouldn't get back in it, though, lol. I think the "rainbird" intake gasket leak and milky oil coming out the breathers worried him. "It's an Olds, that ain't nothin" I said. Still ran all day!! 

Skip did end up towing it back in Sunday night tho. I blame that one on Rivertard who made me stop for a "Personal" emergency and I managed to flood it and drain the battery......

So 3 tows total, I think, unless I'm missing one here somewhere. Little YJ pump impressed me though!

What a kick ass weekend.  
I'd do it all over again this weekend (well most of it)  

me too hopefully I can find a liver in spam by the 4th

It was great getting together again and also meeting some of the new faces out at Big River this weekend. I wish we could have hung out with you guys a little longer and partied with all of you Saturday night. I was even jealous when I seen the pictures of you guys floating back on Saturday afternoon. I was under the impression everyone was just heading back to camp and trailering the boats. I left earlier in case I ran into some engine trouble (boat wasn't sounding to good) and I needed to be towed in. I figured that if I was out in front and had some trouble someone could have pulled me in as they went back to camp. Sucks for me..........Oh well.

Unfortunatly my father-in-law hurt his back during the week and was having a hard time getting around. I told him about the guys I had already met from SCJB and he was looking forward to heading out with us on Saturday to Big River, even though he was hurting. Well, it didn't work out as planned after he boated with us on Parker all day Friday. It clearly F'd up his back even more and he said there was no way he would be going with us. My buddy and I both agreed that we would hang out with him at Fox's for the night (Sat.) since he did allow us to stay at his pad for the weekend. I also figured I would make my wife happy by doing this as no one else could come out that weekend, including his son.

I look forward to the next trip out with everyone.........maybe Parker Just throwing it out there in case anyone is interested. Although, I do need to go through the engine before the next trip......

Brad, you look like Willie Nelsons grandson in this picture! lol

Anytime Ray, I'm just sorry that you had to pull your boat out on Saturday. My buddy and I really got a kick of seeing the "Moo" up close and in person.........my kids would have loved it.

There were quite a few kids dissapointed it broke. Me included, lol. Surprised me how many people recognize that boat there.

It'll be back! With a lil more attitude probably, now that I know the whole things gotta come apart.

Dang how many boats went down Not trying to put salt in the wounds, just curious

Showed up there on Saturday with the wife and kids.We had a good time and just hung out on the beach.Got to meet some new people and see some old ones.The water was up high and should of bought the cruiser down from Parker.Well next time.Also got to love you jet boat guys.Some of you guys had spare engines,cherry pickers,tools,and a bunch of beer.Loved it.

Anytime Chromey. We did rob a lil off that engine Saturday, lol. Given we'da been staying a couple more days, I think we'da pulled Rivertards engine and dropped the rest of the thing in his boat too! 

As Chromey said, that's how we roll!

Hats off to everyone and their generosity! Not only with the parts, tool loaning, but also for getting your hands dirty and just jumping in and helping. The free rides, tows, refreshments and snacks. Honestly, just like I remember Family reunions back when I was a kid..........you know, before they invented fire........

Well...I guess I'll join the broke down club.  Found a bunch of glitter in the oil filter today so it got torn down....looks like boat flex/pump bearing deflection was a little more than I'd anticipated and used up the slop I left in the D-line...the thrust from the pump was leaning on the crank and wiped out the thrust surface.  Crap.
