Friends Across the U.S.

Sorry Fellas for not posting these last couple of weeks. Work has been slammed and unbelievable. Business is booming. But I don't get much board time until tonight due to the storms that we have had. Bear with me and I will post Regatta pictures ASAHP.

Cattitude, I didn't read any replies from you tonight, are you on the jeep thang? How is the lake life? I hope things are well. Stay off I-40, WOW what a rush. Hard to believe we went across that bridge. I'm sure we will talk more later. My boys want to know how are the little league games going? (Little Cattitude) They talk about him as if they'd been friends a long time, not just 5 hours. Hi to Mrs. Cattitude and Ms. Cattitude. Anyway, we will be out there for the shootout but you will not. Isn't that just too &*%$# bad!

Uncle Toys, how are the boys? Are they breathing well NOW!!! Haven't seen anything from you either for a while. Having too much fun with all of your toys? OR, can't you figure out which one to play with??? Hey to the Mrs. and the Little Princess. Am working on the list of questions for ya.

SAM- leaving in 45 minutes for disney, Ok at the south end of Grand lake, ProRock Jeep competition this weekend in the rocks below the dams. All the best, will catch up next week. LL is doiing well, only 2 losses for the season with 4 games to go! Tell everyone we said high.

Cat

Eliminator219, please forward all excess greenbacks to the Secret Agent Man fund. We had a little mishap today on the water and destroyed the upper drive. We are down and out for the next couple of weeks.

Well, guess I'll finish the deck.

Life Blows! Go Figure...

S.A.M. - Sorry to hear about your drive - bummer! Bring on the questions, your friendly SoCal tour guide is standing bye (or is that by?)

[Cattitude]

S.A.M.

Sorry to hear about your XZ upper- aside from not putting your kind of power to the drive, is there anything to be learned that will help keep the drives alive?
Cat.

PS- Rolled the Jeep on 4 separate occasions this weekend- runs but definately ugly!

[Turbojack]

This is scaring me. This is the second upper drive that OSO members have torn up at cruse RPM in the last 2 weeks. I thought you could only tear these drives up if you are pushing it, not at cruise.

Ah Cattitude, did you mess up that cool Eliminator paint job?

[Cattitude]

Paint job is still there, allthough the shape is significantly altered. Time to pitch the body I think.

Hi Guys, Uncle Toys, Eliminator219, Cattitude, Turbojack, Elimi, and all the usual Eliminator Gang. This is Double D reporting live from the garage. What a mess, and then there's the boat. Poor SAM, crying in his gear oil.

Seriously, he said the input shaft pinion housing broke, destroyed all gears (shavings everywhere) gears look like they were wearing good, but are now broken into little tiny pieces, due to suspect possible defect in case, gear oil in bilge.
Boys, talk about crappin in your pants.

SAM says "Once boat is fixed, it is for sale to the highest bidder". Already looking for a 30' Daytona with twin HP500 STOCK. That's right folks it either stock or divorce. He has a choice.

More to come later.
This has been a news update, Double D reporting

Ouch! S.A.M. I feel your pain.

Double D - Allow my brother a little slack. Let him get his baby back in the water before you put the hammer down. Although - nice touch - you can have a 30 footer if you keep it stock.
