If I'm not mistaken I was standing on the other finger dock, thanks for cutting me out of the photo. I recall the day well. I was walking down the dock when in the distance I could here the rumble of big engines moving ever closer. As I peered down the dock I saw some little guy jump out of his boat and head to places unkown. I look back out toward rum runners and the water turned a bright orange. Next we engeage in conversation where's Pete? Don't know he was just here and poof he's gone. Didn't return for half the day.
By the way yes I still retain the king of the river title until we can put together a sanctioned TIBBC race, no one can take it away from me.

Sure thing, we were over at Bonnie in the dining room having breakfast FYI. We watched them all go out in the Orange Hustler for a rip, and saw them sniffing around the Biotch, all while having coffee and some very tasty extra crispy bacon!
You could loose 5000 lbs and not catch the Orange Hustler!!!

Some of us are still here and kickin'. Some are sleddin', some are sno-boardin', some are remodelin', and some I hear some might be starting in on the wrenchin' program.
I would be ............... Remodelin'
Kitchen is done, just waiting on the granite countertops and backsplash, so now I'll put the finishing touches to the master bath, then the railings for the stair case, some paint, put my "guys" in the shack for a few days to do up the flooring, and we're in!!! One of these days, soon, maybe, if all goes well, I think, well eventually! 
And this was 1/2 way to page two again, so a little bump never hurts.

Sunny yesterday here, little cold, but just had to run out and spend a few minutes checking on the Biotch. Spent some time on the phone with Brett @ BBlades the other day and needed to get the props so they can go back for another round of blade brainstorming on monday. One more go at these then it's likely change the program time. The never ending quest for the elusive MPH. Gotta love this chit!
You get reg #'s for that thing yet? I still want that ride.

Last year we told not to vote for the "other" guys, but if you insist.
Just did, but If I had voted for the girl I could have been the tie breaker.
