Got a nice hull rash this weekend from the doc at Havasu Springs.

Hard to tell if it will rub out - need to put it on the trailer and put a little elbow grease on it.

I dropped my cel phone on the concrete while I was standing on the bow of Ziggy's boat. It shattered the screen, rendering it useless, except to completely drive me insane with the consistent alerts and notifications coming through that I couldn't get :( The new phone gets delivered today. So far, my first experience with SquareTrade insurance has been stellar.

Me too.

Too much of Foxs Thursday night. I was running at 50% the rest of the weekend. Too old to keep doing this :grumble:

I say that after every weekend at the river.....
But magically, the battery gets recharged and we do it again anyways!

Just a small scratch from the raft up! No big deal. Need to have some small other scratches taken out at the same time. All and all a great week! Everything ran perfect!!

Gel and rub rail from raft up. Much cheaper to fix cosmetic issues then engine issues. Repair is already underway and will be done before Memorial Day weekend

so that explains the 1000% decrease in infractions this weekend. :D

I saw a drone flying around for a few mins at the Raft Up... then it was gone.

When i was pulling up towards shore in thompson bay in front of the park (you were right behind me), right by where we rafted up. I wasn't even in gear, just drifting listening to the guy on shore screaming at me :p :(

Washed and waxed the boat and checked it out thoroughly, no damage to report.

Only damage really is the inside of my thigh that I clipped on a dock cleat at Windsor.

In a rush to get out of the water and off the ramp in the rain after the shootout was called on Sat, I forgot to trailer my outdrive and drug the skag halfway up the ramp while everyone was yelling at me. :face palm: I was THAT guy. What a fawking noob. Had an awesome weekend otherwise despite the rain and the noob move on the launch.

I have been saying this since Friday morning. I understand admitting I have a problem is step 1. :)

Denial is step 1.

I know. Seriously, I know.

Lots of water at night...if that doesn't work start with a mimosa and repeat until said hangover has been pushed off until tomorrow...repeat for as many days as necessary! :thumbup:

People always say water helps. People always say Coors Light is water. I drink lots of "water" :)

Looks expensive [emoji15]

Yeah - the pucker factor when going someplace shallow increases imensly over the pontoon. :D

Is that the one you were saying had to be replaced at the after party or is that a different event?

That happened just past the raft up on the way to CS1. Threw the blade off. Thankfully only other damage was the bottom of aerator tube. Boat back up when I replaced props at Cattail.

Did that once.....new mental checklist created. Wife drives boat on trailer so we got in the habit of making sure drive was straight and up before I get into truck.
A tiny bit of filing and some touch up paint....wah-la. Lol, think it made my boat faster[emoji1]
New boat it doesn't matter, drive down still ~18 inch off ground.[emoji4]

I wasn't at Desert Storm, but this is me replacing a collapsed lifter last weekend. Lucky me, this particular cylinder you can pull the lifters through the head. Big thanks to Teague for getting me the parts real quick, awesome customer service as always, during DS week nonetheless.

who decided that a 20x20 garage was an adequate size..?

Here you can see down through the head into the lifter valley.

All out back together, fresh powder coat on the valve covers because saltwater and polish don't get along. Good as new, ready to go out again! Hope you guys had fun, I surely missed it!

It was a great weekend.

The rubber got pulled out of my rub rail at the raft up and I had a few scratches that I was able to polish out. No major damage.

On the way to the raft up, I threw my serpentine belt. We were able to reinstall it on the water and roll again. It's been a recurring problem for 2 years and I'm still working on a solution.

Got two screws in one of the trailer tires. Took it to Big O today and they plugged and patched.

Minor liver damage from after party!!!

Awesome. Great to meet Tamalewagon and Yopengo!!
