Skip'll make it! He's pretty resourceful and it's a tax writeoff to test the NJ boat there!

Sucked up a few rocks in the Moo, Andy. Can do a ton of damage, but normally just nick up an already nicked up impeller a bit more if you're running aluminum. (Brad helped me get a real stubborn one out at Big River. That thing was IN There good!).
Heres what Becca took. Some good ones!
At the ramp
Oh NORDIE!!!
I wish someone (Including me) woulda got a pic of what was on this!
Then on to the festivities. These are mostly from early on, when GC was all alone on "His" side of the beach!
I don't doubt his 108 count AT ALL!
The mens room................
Then the lake and boats!
In the Cove finally
If you squint real hard and tilt your head just right, you can see where John started his own kingdom!
The ONE LONE SOUL! Great boat and quick too! But yeah, not a lot of support there for the whacker group!
More to come, still upoading!

When didn't he ever?
I got a kick (Not new) when everyone at TPM4 was asking, "have you seen Nordies new Hydro?". I'd only been driving for, what 7 hours, and just before that it was still a secret I was sworn to (As well as a FEW others on here)!!!!!!
Maybe there's telephone, telegraph or tell Nordie?
Dude, you gotta work on that, lol!

Skip wouldn't let me try! I think with a couple 12' 2x10's and a few 8x8x16 blocks I coulda come close to the middle of the cove given the running start from the hillside leading to the ramp! (Done dumber things) But alas, Skip has other plans for it!
Woulda been a youtube moment though! (You were there when I was selling the idea, lol)

I told you a few days ago, We'd better get our best dresses out, 'cuz we're goin DRAG RACING! (Do they do Nostagia drags? Need to look into that........got a GREAT alcohol set up for a 10-71.......shhhhhhhh) 
Congrats Nordie.......well, now wait......the Nordic is for sale.......so you can't be Nordie anymore!
Batman can't be Batman without the mask? Superman can't be Superman without the Cape? Anyone named Jared can't be a Jared without a Subway sammich stuffed in their mug, And Nordie can't be Nordie without a Nordic right?
Soooooooo.......Since you're becoming the resident SCJB Drag Queen, I think Brad needs to "adjust" your s/n!
This could be fun!

Did YOU guys get any Bloody Marys Skee?
Just funnin John!
You're right though John! When I took the kids out for a hot lap or so to either A:) clear the boat fuel system out, or B:) I was gonna break the damn thing but good, the only targets I had were the freakin ducks and one guy on a JetSki keeping to himself in a No Wake zone on the other side of the lake! Obviously wanting NOTHING to do with the arsenal that he probably normally terrorizes! (He kindof reminded me of an autistic kid looking at the floor, walking in circles muttering to himself, Becca even asked "Whats that guy doing?").
I think I missed him with the Roost..........I'd hate to be responsible for sending him over the complete edge!

Yes! Thank Ken for ALL of us Keith! He was cool about it and was a pro at the same time! Sometimes you get a great photographer, but they have the personality of a rattlesnake. Not this guy.
Can't wait to see 'em (Had I known you were bringing him, I'da dressed better and rode RJ harder to clean the boat better!)
Had a thought on the drive home, we shoulda had the Brunette with the new "bolt-ons", as Hallet Dave put it, that she was so proud of and making sure she passed in front of every camera lean or lay on Moo near the "Udder Nonsense" stencil. How classic would THAT be? (Photoshop anyone?)
I haven't even attempted to d/l what Becca took. But if anything like she took at AVI, should be some winners in there!
Maybe tomorrow night.

Good to see you again too John! Next time I'll brink cups, OK?
Just got home (Wow, what a drive on back to back days, then my street is blocked off by the police. Some sort of Crime Scene at the end of the street, so I had to back the boat into some bitches driveway to turn around and she was apparently watching what the police were doing and gave the cop and my son (Both directing me) the Riot Act for "Trespassing on her property without asking". She didn't find it too funny when I asked "how the hell could we do that without stepping on your property?" Cop laughed though). I can see someone getting the paper bag full of dog shit treatment in the near future...........damn kids...........
Good seeing all my friends again! Keith, Nate, Brian, Dozzer, Ralph, Rivertard (A little more under control today if you can beleive that!), Skip (Next time I won't let Becca wake you up!), Rick, Nick (Little man is so damn cute!),Hallet Dave, Jay, I know I am forgetting quite a few, Forgive me! My lil brain is FRIED on 5 ours sleep in the last 48 or better!
Good meeting and putting faces to new friends too! Boatless Bob (We're renaming you to "I have a Kitchen Bob" so you and Hallet Dave have something in common to talk about!), Andy (You're getting somewhere with that thing! keep after it!), Jake, Jason (Riverdad, hung around a lot longer than you planned huh?),Challenger, Tracey, and some more from the PB and RD sites!
What a turn out huh?? And the "neighboor hood crime watch in Poon-Toon boats letting us get wild in the cove? We must be doing SOMETHING right! (Although there were a few close calls that I think we, as a group, may want to either self regulate better or have someone kionda step in! It was getting a little dangerous the speeds being hit by some of those guys!
Was fun to try a blast like that in the cove though! Woulda liked to have been full power, especially with Flytime in the boat, but wasn't meant to be. The stall out didn't help the beginning of it,
Too bad Moo was still suffering from the dirty fuel from Avi. One long hot lap around the lake she cleared up and seemed fine. Wanted to try it again, but by then nothing but triple digit boats were running around! I did toss a pretty horrific Roost on my way out for the day, hope I didn't shower anyone!
And what was up with those F-ing ducks? Talk about a distraction!! I got to the point, very quickly, I was aiming for the lil bastards! Next time I go there I'm taking off the rock grate and try and give new meaning to "roostertail", stupid things!
Yeah, new pic thread! CAn't wait to see what Crewcheif's werkin on!
