Your Luckier than most then :party2::D:D

Apparently The Rivertard Dog Pile hasn't made it to the boards yet either! Hallett Dave WAS involved, and this is evidence!

I'm ashamed to be the first to show this, but............

thats gonna leave a mark:D

Yeah, lol, This was well BEFORE the "Borrowed", or "Liberated" golf cart incident and subsequent fireworks display....... (I had little to NOTHING TO DO WITH THAT! My 14 year old son.....well.......Mike is a BAD influence! ;), even though it was my overheard idea and my son RJ jumped in and started the damn thing....... )

Still not real clear on what Dave was trying to talk N8 into at that point........:party2:

Fun times! You guys that miss this first event of 2010? Shame on you! I'm driving 6 hours for it! I can name all but 4 people in that pic from the AVI, and I think those snuck in and must work for the hotel!:party:

Ray

All kidding aside, I love all the guys and gals that make these things! Some I have met before, adore meeting new ones, but always a great time with all of them! I'm no stranger to memorials, those that know me know why, and Tom Papp I never met personally, but have, in spirit, with the great people I've met over this past year.

Thanks Guys!

Is this an all day / night deal? Or are people camping? I kinda thought this was just for the afternoon?

Quite a few of us are showing up Friday night, RD! Saturday night, I will not be involved in, but I can guarantee some sort of shennanigans will likely be involved. Video and photographic evidence will abound!

You know how Kool-Aid becomes something else when you add water? ;)Well kindof the same thing happens when you take a bunch of Jet Boaters, take away the water and start adding alcohol...............:champagne:

You gotta love Skip (Luckystiff) for coming up with that whole deal! We talked about it a little and then he ran with it and made that one happen. He and I neither one figured that kind of turnout, and actually, there were many not in that pic that were there!

Kinda like Nordie and Skip did with Temple Bar in March (which is looking to be one HUGE deal this year), and Boost and Beerjet with the Big River trip in June (That was a blast!). All will probably blossom into annual gatherings, or events, if you will.

The "eastsiders" (My buds) over on PB will likely develop an annual PHX memorial event for another fallen comrade (Well before his time) at Saguaro Lake in Mesa, Az. (would LOVE to see some of the RD and SoCalJetBoats crew at THAT one!).

My schedule may be pretty full this season!

Oops, i talked with Tom today I think we might want to meet earlier than 6:00? Is that cool with you?

Yeah I was planning on leaving around 4 so that would put me there at the earliest maybe 5. All I gotta do is wake up, and sometimes thats a chore. Let me know what you guys decide on

I was there for a little bit this morning. Saw RD, Finnegan, Flanigan, Scarlotta, Campbell Carl and met a lot of other people. Lots of nice boats down there...even if most were jets. :D

It is just about the perfect weather day for this event. Water might be a "tad" cold at 54* :boobeyes: But the air temp will be in the 70's.:thumbsup

Just when you think about moving out of this state cause of all the gov't crap they through a great day like today at you and for a short time while the rest of the country is burried in snow and cold, your wearing shorts and t-shirt sitting on your boat on a lake think you know I think I like it here.

Nice seeing friends and meeting new folks


PS the plane is for the parchuters - land strip on the other side of the cove

I was sitting in the red and white daycruiser across the cove from everyone else most of the day. You guys don't get up very early do ya? I was at the ramp at 8 and was all alone! Wrong day to leave the ski at home for sure.
I counted 108 boats at around 1pm but I think there were more still coming in. Gotta love it when even the citizen patrol blue hairs pull up on shore and start watching the races. Good times fo so

I wanted to post a link to the website for the photographer that was out with me today.

If you see something you like, let him know. If you see something you want to purchase, let him know. He can send you a CD with several photos and you can get them printed or he can get them printed for you. He also has done large prints/posters for some of his drag racing customers.

He has just started posting pics from today and will probably take a couple days to get all of them posted. I know he took around 500 pictures. Be sure to check back oftin to see if he got a good pic of your ride.

Thanks Ken for taking the time to come out with us today.
