I am glad "Wild Thang " has decided to start his own thread and really just jump in feet first so to speak . This site has alot of traffic and a ton of lurkers and I think with ever person that comes on here and starts to post , the site it's self starts to grow not just in size but in diversity and in my opinion that is what gives a site feet so to speak .

Thanks Beerjet,
And all the rest of you too. Yaa, I guess l add my little 2 cents. Don't know how much tech help I'll be but I can maybe lead to some one that can help. I'm mostly pay $$$$$$ to the mech and Turn Key. I could never afford to race. As for my stories, How about we leave those in the closet. Okay just One. If you were right below the dam, on the strip, on Sunday, Labor Day weekend in 1991, Yaa that was me. 12 felonies and 6 misdemeanors. Okay, one more. Got 86ed off Paris for doing 85mph. They tried to impound my boat but I had my buddy drive off with my trailer before they could stop him. They couldn?t find a trailer so they had me get my buddy back, only after they tore up the ticket and un-handcuffed me. I sat on that boat dock, handcuffed, holding my boat off the dock from 11:00am to 5:30pm. I was sun burned as hell. Okay one more. Before I had a jet I had a little 16 foot, 1969 Regatta with a 85 Mirc. Nice boat. Any way, I guess I was around 24 or so, my girlfriend and I would go out to Elsinore and just us two would ski all day. We did that all summer long till one day we get pulled over by the ranger. He gives us the routine inspection and then says, ?I?ve seen you two come out here all summer and not once have you had a spotter.? Go get a spotter so I don?t get my but chewed by my boss again. That was cool. Okay, one more. Hay, it?s my thread and I have to intro myself right? I sell the Regatta and buy my 1st Jet. ?Twisted? 1995 Eliminator Sprint. 500HP BB Chevy. I get it a week before Memorial Day weekend. Put it in the water for the 1st time at River Lodge on Tuesday, nobody around for miles. Pull the trailer out as my GF is holding the boat. Go walking down the ramp, GF looking at me, and notice the thing sitting really low in the water. Ever have that thought about forgetting to plug it? It sucks. Barely saved it from sinking right there. So we get the water out and the fish and get it started. Take it up river, shut it off and start floating back down. After about an hour as we just pass the Lodge I go to start it. No Deal. I totally forgot to fill it with gas. We floated all the way to that lake down river from Parker. 4 Hours we floated. I tried swimming it. She was pissed. It was Tuesday so there wasn?t anyone to pull us to Big Bend. Right past Sundance, past that other bar and on down the river we went. So we get down river and finally get a pull to the pumps and don?t have a dollar to my name. Left the wallet in the truck. I had to sell the GF for $20 bucks, well not sell her but she was so pissed off at me she told some old guy on the dock, she?d give him a lap dance naked for $20. He paid and we got back up river. The rest of the trip got better and I learned something. Always bring your girlfriend to the river incase you run out of gas and don?t have any money.
I have another thread "SoCal, Camp, Ski, Kids, and Fun" It?s in the Events section. Don?t worry I settle down. Now, I guess I?m that old guy on the dock.
Later
