with that wind im out

« **Reply #82 on:** January 09, 2009, 06:10:19 PM »

Is the wind going to blow anyone else out of going?

I think I'm gonna try to go out early and run a little.

« **Reply #83 on:** January 09, 2009, 06:39:40 PM »

Well SH!T

I dunno if I got the leak fixed yesterday, but I can live with that . . .
I have been putting air in one pesky trailer tire every day, but I think it would be OK to get me to Elsie and then air up b4 I come home. Maybe. But I would take the gamble

I admit the wind is a tough call, it went from being still to 35mph all day long. Running solo makes getting her back on the trailer a wrestling match for sure, and hey the water is only 55 degrees right now What The Hell

But then I get home tonight and my wife has been called into work and I will have to babysit tomorrow

I guess it just wasn't meant to be . . . I'm out.

We're still planning on going. The Rogers has not been cooperating. My son and nephew just took down to a friend for a diagnosis. I'm going to back the Advantage in the garage (out of the wind) and start to prep it. If the wind is howling in the morning we may pass on the deal. I'll be logging on to get a weather report in the morning.

I feel the same way Brad. I'm rolling out from Ventura, (easy 2 1/2 hr drive) where it was sunny 75* no wind...beautiful day. A little wind...this is about somthing more than just a day on the lake.
I'm all in. Curious to see where the day takes me...rolling solo!

good luck to those that are going, hope the weather allows a little fun as well, wish we where closer, we would be there

« **Reply #87 on:** January 10, 2009, 01:28:34 AM »

Apparently the magnito was the problem. Just got done replacing it with a MSD set up. Just going to zip tie it altogether in morning.
My neighbors are going to kill me tomorrow. I hope the wind carried some of that engine noise away.

It's 3:15 in the morning, foggy as fu*k outside, maybe 75' visibility, weather still says windy as all hell in Elsinore. Gonna hit the gas station and head South, see you suckers there!

That was a joke!

I left the house right after making that post. Stopped to add fuel to the truck and boat, and had fuel leaking inside the boat. Went back home, flushed the fuel out and removed the interior for access to the fuel tank. Found the clamp at the tank was not tight enough to seal

Put everything back together and headed for Elsinore. Launched the boat at 11:00.

Glad I didn't bail out on going, there was a lot of boats to see and some cool racing going on.

For all you guys that didn't/couldn't make it, you missed out.

I didn't have a camera with me so I'm hoping several of the guys walking around taking pictures will post some soon. I know Ralph was taking some.

And to top it off, I was back home cleaning the boat and unloading the truck when I realized that I left my chair setting on the beach.

Luckily it was a POS and ready to get pitched into the trash.

I couldn't stick around for the racing action, but the launch ramp parking lot was a damn good time this morning, I must have just missed you launching your boat, I left at about 11:15 or so, getting up @ 2:30 AM makes for a long day..........
