She's been a little grumpy with her mom in the Hospital etc.. I went and looked for ya later (thinking it wouldn't be that hard to find you) until I got to Pirates and saw the 300+ jetskis.. LOL That would've been a needle in a haystack situation.

Shoot me a PM and I'll send ya a free RDP shirt.

OMG, cruising up river in the pontoon I was surrounded by 40 of them, easy. Wasn't prepared for the jet ski deal this last weekend....... I get irritated when there are a few out not looking where they're going.......

I launched my boat at the cop shop and was rolling up to the dock to pick up Stacy. Guy on a Jet Ski pulls up and says "I see your back from Florida!" I'm always down to bullshit and get to know a member.. Only problem is that dock is alumininum and I have to kinda drive by it and let Stacy jump on the engine hatch.. Water is choppy as shit and waves are pushing the boat towards the dock. Guy on stand up gets kind of in front of the boat so I back up and turn around and go for another pass. Well stand ups aren't easily managed either when they are idling so he ends up in front of me again (no big deal).. So I stop and back up again and Stacy gave him the '

"CAN YOU PLEASE MOVE"

In that Mom voice that makes ya just kinda shrink..

Guy was like "See ya later Dave" and just rode off. I'm looking at Stacy like "WTF was that really necesarry?"

Long story short, normally she's really nice but we've been dealing with a lot lately, and she's a little hot headed. In her defense the jet ski was making the dock program a lot more difficult then it should've been.. but I wasn't worried about it. The guy just wanted to say hello, and basically got yelled at for it.

Now I feel bad about it, so I want to send the guy a shirt or something and give it a second shot.

The skis were everywhere

Easily 1000 more skis than on any other non-holiday Parker weekend. There was some really good riders, but a lot of them that looked clueless as well........ I had to get out of there .

They had a Jet Ski Poker Run going on last weekend in Parker and they could get a bonus card if they ran up to the Dam for it. FYI

The ones that were zig zagging and acting like twat waffles were giving the rest a bad name. I guarantee they act like that no matter what they are riding/driving.

I thought it'd be nice and quiet, the week after Memorial.

It’s an emotional roller coaster going through what Stacy is with mom.
I wish nothing but the best I feel for you both.

sorry for your mom in law. Dave . good luck

jet ski commercial break.

sorry if this sound racist . but the worst see-do riders have to be Hispanic women.
Geezus a fucking Christ. look where the fuck you are going. and stay on the side of the river that you should be on. and yes ! there other boats out on the river. and no, driving head on , into on coming boats, is not something that should be done. and laughed about.
fucking stupid fucking people.
sorry for the thread jack.

I was at the lake fishing with my grandson on Sunday, and I had forgotten how annoying they can be. There's a swimming beach about 300 yards from the marina breakwater, and Jeezus Keerist, about six of these dipshits were out there all day going in circles and making noise.

My wife and I bought our first SX 750 in 1993, and we still have two Honda F12s. In all those years I never stayed in one place making circles in the water. WTF is the attraction for that? Go ride somewhere, you idiots.

I agree, was in Parker last weekend and the damn ski thing was outta control. Why do they think they can ride five feet of your bow when your anchored up. Just don't get it along with going head on to jump your wake ! And yes I owned a bad ass ski in the eighties baby... LOL

We took the Sea Doos to Parker on Saturday. You know it's bad out there when you are on PWC and you are cussing out all the Jet Skis.

Turns out it was the same guy that offered me a ride in a private Gulf Stream back to the West Coast when I was in Florida.

RD
So if I'm understanding this correctly, Stacy basically told a guy that was willing to fly you across the country in a Gulf Stream to fuck off?:eek: Bet you're embarrassed.

Stand Ups rule! Had no problem with Stand Up skiers this past weekend. As usual it was the dipshitz on the sit downs that can't hold a line, start/stop, and NEVER look over there shoulder. And I had a blast participating in the Poker Run

Then you missed the numerous assholes flying around the docks at pirates, doing tricks in front of the ramps (keeping everyone from launching/retrieving), zig-zagging the entire width of the river, checking out if their buddies were watching them and running into other boats, and having complete disregard for others property by letting their shit bang into other boats at the docks.

Yeah, you must've missed that.

It was a planned event on the strip. Kinda like at Desert Storm all the LAM ripping up and down the lake with no effs given.
I made it in and out of Pirates in my boat no problem. Sure was alot cooler seeing Mark Gomez doing a flip off my boat wake than some old dude ripping up and down the strip on a giant sit down [emoji16][emoji3]

I found out later it was some kinda poker run and jet ski trick event. They were running across the river at Pirates all day long. I had one come straight across the river at us in the boat on a collision course. I just slowed down he eventually saw me and snapped out of his trance and I'm pretty sure he mouthed the words "Oh shit!" when he finally did see us.. LOL

Overall it wasn't that bad. I have never felt the need to mother eff anybody (jet skiers etc..) I'm usually playing Jimmy Buffet or Bob Marley in the boat though so I'm pretty passive. :D

To make is clear I was the guy on the 1992 Kawasaki 550sx that came up on Dave and his wife. I did not see his wife was trying to get on board the boat when I pulled up until I got closer. Needless to say the water was really choppy and Dave did a excellent job keeping his cool. Believe me when it's choppy and I am loading the family on my Eliminator 250 eagle xp in choppy conditions the stress level certainly is raised. I figured there is always another day to say hello and shoot the shit than jeopardize the safety of loading people on board or have the boat get damage in those conditions. Please tell Stacy there is no hurt feelings on this side. I look forward to many more opportunities to meet up with you guys and buying you a beer. Until then stay safe enjoy the boating life that we all are lucky to have.

In the past, I believe the Run what you brung Poker Run was spearheaded by a Havasu firefighter and his wife that spend a lot of time at Pirate's Den in the summer. They raffle off a badass custom stand up ski, as well as a bunch of other cool prizes. If I remember correctly, 100% of the proceeds are donated to various childrens organizations in Havasu and Parker.

I didn't make it yet this year, but it really seems like it has grown pretty big. I wouldn't be surprised if Pirate's Den took over the logistics, as I think it would be a bit much for just one or two people to handle.
