Any of you interested in the above just google toothless mountain woman and you'll find her

Yes Sir! Going out Friday afternoon. Supposed to be nice. I've had a break from the beach for about a month so I'm ready to go back for a few days.

If the lake is nice, we should do a little ride Saturday. Maybe up to Sackets or something. I'm not going to waste gas on choppy lake though. You in Bob/Deb? How about you Pachanga Mike?

Model in JUST the platforms/CFMs?????????:drink:

Maybe lunch in Sackets? Don't know about Axa after the ride he gave the Mrs. on sunday, but maybe 5P and I could find the place.

Dave
You know that I would be all in..But I need to work Sat. If the weather is nice Sun. I was going to try and come out with the girls....So do not get all partied out on Sat.:drink:

I have the same situation as Bob , I need to work Saturday but ...... I would like to go for a rip on Sunday.

We dropped in at Sodus on Sunday last weekend and had a great day ..... went out on t the lake to Port Bay .... very rough 5 and 6's but we only had to go 6 or so miles so it wasn't that bad.

Rafted in Port Bay with the other 311s until some jackazz decided to circle us with a 4 foot swell and proceed to send our boats smashing together.

It is a good thing Formula didn't offer the missle launcher option back in '88 because that jackazz would have been vaporized.

I haven't been that pissed since the dockboy incident at the River Edge on Pirates Weekend.

I could trailer to where ever on sunday to meet up with you guys weather permitting of coarse. As of right now Friday and Saturday look awesome for Rochester but Sunday is questionable. Who the freak knows at this point.

Jeff
What kind of boat was that...I was thinking about replacing the old plug in my boat...So we could go get his:evilb:

Sounds like a plan....Will have to keep a eye to the sky and play it by ear on the weather.I will give you a call on Sat.
Bob

So, come out Saturday after work and spend the night.

Whats up with this story. He didn't bang Gail up did he? Or was it your fault taunting him into a race with Gail onboard?

I was thinking about her when the two speed racers went blasting by us in a 30mph zone and all I could see was Daves drives in the water and Gails head in the back seat bouncing around like a bobble head doll..Hope she had her seat belt on:eek:

I bet Dave does not need any taunting..or maybe it was Dave doing the taunting...

What do you think? ;)

Perhaps Mike would like to borrow them for his mountain woman!!

Bird - you have my number, we can figure out Saturday in Sackett's on Friday and be in touch w/all. I'll keep my fingers crossed the sun rules!

S~

sounds like a plan to me.

we are in for the weekend

You guys looked great out there! :ernaehrung004:

Thanks ..... we really appreciate the compliments ....

Did you ever end up getting another boat?

Jeff

Now don't get started with the "It's Raggeds fault" chit. Just cause I was having a little fun in the slop, couple real good air times, dosen't mean the rest are obligated to join in as well. I would think they are capable of making their own prudent choices.


What would make you think that I would taunt Axa? :D

We'll be dumping in Friday early afternoon. 1/2 day off.

How About Sodus Sat if its Nice?

This would seem like a reasonable account of the deal, though from my vantage point I couldn't see Gail in the back seat. I knew I should have offered her a seat in the Biotch, would have had a real smooooooth ride in the slop and could have taken advantage of the rear view vantage point. ;);)

QUOTE=Reliant;2659245]How About Sodus Sat if its Nice?[/QUOTE]

Perhaps. Are you staying out that way this weekend?

Axa's pretty quite these days. Where are you Axa????? We know you're lurking.

Get the boots out boyz....As I recall it, you went blowing by me (as I was cruising at 45mph) on the way to the Wolfe Island cut.

After that, I don't recall seeing the biotch in front of me except while heading back in front of Potter's Beach at 35mph.

After that, the 2 birds were flying with NO Fountain in sight?

That's what I recall? As for the ride, she's comfortable in the smoooooth ride of our far superior built Formula!

Dave

I knew it, lurking in the shadows. Why so quite lately? This is YOUR thread you know.

Bobs account sounded rather impartial to me............................................. :Whatever:

The rip up beyond Clayton has nothing to do with you. That's a very special patch of water to me.


Would the Mrs. be up to a ride to Sacketts for lunch on saturday if Bird were to meet us there? Weather is to be super next few days. How about 5P and Kitty?

spent the better part of the day out yesterday

spent the entire day at Potters today

pretty good turnout for a Thurs. the weather was purr-fect.

And I was beginning to think Imager was permanently tied to the pier

nawww...just between the trailer upgrade, keeping the Corolla going (I love that beater car and the 30+MPG but it's been a PITA lately), some tractor issues, and some sizeable projects around the ranch itself,
it's been a light boating season.
A lttle more into "home ownership" than 'boat ownership' this year.

The crappy weather has made for less interest in the boat but by the same token, has made me very productive on some other fronts.

I'm a one man band, this place is pretty damm big, and what isn't "new" is "old"...so there's always work to do, and aside from the norm, this is an upgrade year.
I hire very little done, I pretty much do it all myself regardless of what it is, and/or exchange talents/trades with friends. Time consuming, even working the real job only 24 hrs a week this summer (I had an immense amount of vacation time built up), there aren't enough days in the week...

just mowing the lawn takes two hours on a good size machine, with all the rain...well you get the idea.
I'm tearing the one small building down, prepping to paint the 40'x60', and completely re-doing the 30x50' to a two stall garage facade with all new OH doors/windows/siding...
and you can't do this stuff in November!

It's about priorities, and I have some others right now that are more long-term in the nature of the return.
and the return is going to be very good.

Ended up taking a ride to the mouth of the lake Saturday, (rollers,rollers, and more rollers, to his credit AXA was good and didn't toss the little woman around too much) Ended up in Cape Vincent for lunch at Captain Jacks, excellent food. Sunday was Bloody Mary's and a cruise on Rockstars 38 sundancer rippin' at 34.1 mph. Had ragged in his 35 and a 38 express cruiser jumping our wake, very cool. Unfortunately the photographer didn't quite capture the moment.

Probably best that we didn't do the Sackets thing then. It was riled up pretty good down our way. South-south-east wind but it would have been nasty around Stony Point. Reports were better than threes and building just offshore a mile or two.

Still planning a Bay cruise on the 5th, 6th, and 7th with Gottwins.

Rollers :D. Have some video of 5P in them, think you can see Mics head levitating above the dash. The Biotch seems to like the snotty stuff, no complaints from the boat load of peeps either. Captain Jacks is for sure on the do again list, cool little spot right there on the water, H/C accessible and just a short hobble from the public dock. I think Mrs Axa is starting to come around, she couldn't resist a hop thru that art shop.

Best part of the day for me was picking up Dougs 11 yr old nephew and his friends on the way back and taking them out for their initial Fountain indoctrination run. One is all set to buy now, one is going to set up a Fountain dealership, and the little girl is looking for a rich kid with a fast Fountain. Gotta love it when the plan comes together. The smiles on their faces, for me, Priceless!!!

Four day weekend comming up here, maybe we can get a Sackets run in this weekend. :cool:

After this weekend it will be official 5 out of 5 great lakes for Hot Stepper. Got a slip in Burnham Harbor, right across from Soldier Field. 20 minute walk to Downtown launching at Benton Harbor Sat a.m. - 70 milish run across the lake :boat:. Forecast looking great. Just wanted to rub it in a little:ernaehrung004:

Very cool Al...

That's using your boat. Have a GREAT time and enjoy!

Dave

Thanks, I'm sure we'll have a great time. I'll give you guys an update on the return side

Nice. Not too many can claim 5 out of 5. :cool:

Just checked the weather and marine forecasts, andddddddddddddddddd It looks awsome! Cheryl and I are at my office for a bit waiting for the harbor to open to see if I can get in today. may be heading there this afternoon instead of tomorrow. will give you the highlights on the back side of the journey.
Al & Cheryl

Back at work after an awesome trip. Took the chance on Friday late afternoon launched and was able to run 40-45 all the way across never saw another boat the whole way. a little bouncy but seen much worse. Stayed at Burnham Harbor for the weekend. Did the Field House Museum, Sheds Aquarium, Adler Planetarium, Navy Harbor, Second City, Dinner at Texas de Brazil & Catch 35. The run back yesterday was even better - 40-45 starting out building up speed as the lake flattened out. Stopped about half way across had lunch with the city skyline still in sight saw like 3 other boats making the crossing. As we went east - last third of the trip averaged 50-60. I think I may have pissed off some guy fishing near Benton Harbor - boats all over the place picked a line though the biggest opening which happened to be about 500 ft. he gives me this arm shrugging look like hey I'm here, and I'm thinking no chit I'm 250 ft away totally legal passing maneuver - get over it or head out to bigger waters away from the port opening away from all of the boat trafic Dipstick. Seen a big orange Nortech cat 36 or 38 coming out of Benton Harbor on our way in - I'd swear it was the same one I seen in the St.Lawerance earlier in August that ran the Kingston poker run.

So now its official Hot Stepper has been in all 5 Great Lakes. :drink: I think I'll start a new thread for that one.

Labour Day Weekend At the "Boathouse" ......
 

I am not quite sure where to start other than ..... that was an AWESOME weekend and one he!! of a party.

Running all day Sunday with the 6 of us must have turned more than one head ...... going from one end of the river to the other was awesome ..... the weather was the best it has been all summer. I am still recovering freom all the laughing we had all weekend.

You know you have a party started when Bob and Wayne can hear the music from "the boathouse" over at Bonnie Castle.
Then all a sudden we had a "Kid Rock" stunt double (Rockstar) start lip singing and dancing on a dock box (not Randy's). It was quite a show with the spot light on him.

Never new if you were pissed because of the loud music you could just come down and start drinking from the slurpy machine and go back to your boat and send out your wife to do the complaining.

Pete got the most of the abuse all weekend ..... all in fun I might add .....
You were a great sport.

I have to ask though .... seriously does Fountain offer that compass cover that looks like a head of hair because when you running behind me (most of the weekend) I was starting to think that boat had an auto pilot and you were in the cabin because I couldn't see you.

No big deal just ask'in ....... :D

I am just kidd'in once again ......

To all you once again THANK-YOU ...... what a blast ....

Jeff

Twins:

Pleasure havinig you join us. Must be the weather wasn't good enough for Rip to come and join in. Too bad, because we broke EVERY rule in the boathouse Sunday night!

I haven't gotten a call yet, don't think I will, to turn the music down.

Got some picures to post, but it will have to wait. I have many things going on this week and not alot of time to get them off the camera and up here...But I'll try.

Hope to see you back in the boathouse soon!

Dave and Gail
