So Kyle (my cousin) and I made a short trip to Havasu this weekend. We drove out Saturday and drove back this evening. For being such a short trip and not having a boat, we had a pretty good time.
We rolled into town at about 4pm and got changed and headed for the lake. We parked off in the dirt on london bridge road and took a trail to a beach just north of windsor. Hung out and had a few lake sodas until sunset (no boat = no boat sodas)...went back home, changed and headed to Indago Joes for dinner (excellent place, I reccomend it) We headed over to McKee's for some brews and chatter. We went to this place back in November and it was PACKED and going nuts. Lots of good lookin girls too. This wasnt the case. Apparently, since the State of AZ banned smokin in all bars, no one goes there anymore. Everyone now favors BJ's next door who has a huge patio for smoking.
So we hang out at McKees and have a few beers and people watch and make fun of the locals. We go to their smokin patio and its pretty much a jail cell. We make short talk with a local. Just the usual "hey, hows it goin, where ya from" then the guy makes a b-line statement thats so random. He starts name dropping famous people he knows. There is no warmup for this or transition. He proceeds to tell us his cousin used to be a stand in extra for old 80's sit coms for stuff like perfect strangers, family matters, etc and how she knew steve urkle. wtf? i dont care. This guy also had these long drawn out exaggerated burps that sounded like a didgeridoo. Very strange person.
So we make it over to BJ's where its supposed to be "crackin"
...the place is packed...LOTS of guys....drunk "bro's", frat boys, etc....the testosterone is thick. I can sense that fights were going to be happening, if not already. We grab a beer and find a spot to hang out. This guy just comes up to us and starts rambling about how drunk and stoned he was. He said he was there with a bunch of baseball teams from different colleges, but didnt explain why. Kyle and I couldt figure out later. The guy rambled some more and turns to kyle and says "man, your eyes are really red....do you smoke weed".....kyle replys "uh, no"....and the guy walks away like hes offended. lol....stupid pot smokin hippy.
Kyle went to the bathroom and he said he witnessed "pushing" fights inside where the older drunken people were singing karaoke...
So kyle wanted to play pool so we go inside...somehow I got stuck talking to this guy who probably couldnt spell his own name he was so drunk. He proceeded to tell me about this fat chick he hooked up with and told me that her legs were like a golf ball they were so full of cellulite. I almost barfed.
I had to piss, so I headed over to the bathroom where there was a line were there was a near fight about to break out cuz someone cut in line. I waited and went inside....the bathroom is tight. There is a urinal on the west wall and a toilet on the north wall. I had the urinal and this old guy had the toilet. We are really close, but I dont care cuz im drunk and I really gotta piss. His elbow is touching my back...thats how close we were.....next thing I knew, the guy pissed on my leg. I yelled "hey man, you pissed on my leg! what the hell!?" ...he denied it then started talking over me to tell me a story about how some guy at the bar wanted to fight him cuz he touched him. I told him I didnt want to hear stories about him touching other men while he and I are holding our own junk. He shut the hell up.
I walked out and spotted kyle. I told him that some dude pissed on my leg. He said the look on my face was upsetting like someone ran over my dog. We promptly left after that.
The next morning we hit up in n out and headed down to the bridge. We found a open spot between some boats and just waded in the water while we watched probably a few million dollars worth of boats drive by. I could have probably counted the number of jets i saw on one hand. Everything was 25' or more. Lots of I/O's. I saw one notable jet that was orange and white with OT headers. The rest were open bow day cruisers. Saw a couple of older hallets, campbells and sleek crafts that were really clean.
So yeah, thats my story. I will be heading back out there with kate (Woman!) thursday night.
Also, for some of you who might or might not know. The reason for this trip was to go out Bullhead city to Jim's (Emanon Performance Marine) house to pick up Kyles pump. Jim is no longer on the Team and wont be on this site any longer. If anyone has any questions, comments or concerns, please feel free to PM me. The staff at SoCalJetBoats.com wishes the Rich family good luck on their endeavors.
