A bunch of us went out Saturday for a last ride. Put in Mexico Point and rode to Fair Haven. Lake was perfect. We had seven boats along. Two of the guys had issues while at Fair Haven, both of them lost one fuel pump. What are the chances of that? Anyway, they limped back having a one-engine-each offshore race A little later in the day, Tip Sea showed up with his new-to-him 36 Outlaw. This thing is nice, custom one-off McCloed bolsters and rear seat, 540's, boxes, XR's, brand new Myco with drive gaurd, and almost as much bling as Axa. Nice boat and it runs pretty good, about 80 I think. This was Doc Holiday's boat from the Baja forum here. Nice day, the young bucks (as we call them) stayed overnight in Oswego and tore up the town while we old codgers pulled out Saturday.

My old bird is all drained and sealed and sleeping for the winter now.

Had a great weekend Velocity run on Saturday upper 70's did need a coat running across Lake Huron, 1 foot light chop, couldn't be much better. Viper run on Sunday closer to 80.

Should have done the two day weekend but opted to do some homework on saturday. Made it out on the river sunday, a gift from the boating gods this time of year, may be the last of it, but a perfect day.

Should he not name this one "Tip Sea Too" ? Sounds like a nice rig.


Old Codger? Sounds like grandparenthood has caught up with you Bird.

Yep.

Not a bad thing! From what I've seen you wear it well.

So I noticed Rippem sold his Silent Thunder to some guy up north. Can the rest of the boat be far behind.........hear he's got like 6 kids now...

5pm,

How was the trip? Happy 1 year! Vegas Baby!

Dave

I wouldn't say sold...
and correction: seven kids... 4 kids and 3 animals
the two legged ones are really wonderful children
Stacey is just an awesome mother and it shows

I missed boating but my place here has been nearly completely transformed in a short 6 months. It really has turned out super. One helluva lot of work though...
I will wrap up the remainder of the inside I have left over the winter/spring, and the few small projects left outside thereafter.
Like I said before...ain't even browsing no cottages 'till home base is as mint as it will get within reason.

speaking of missing boating, I have 7 of my buddys boats (and a couple cars) in storage and no one used their boat more than a handful of times this year. Everybody busy making bank or working on their homes.
Some people can actually do what they want with and at their homes and have the capacity to do much of it themselves. It's a whole 'nuther world...

speaking of storage, I may be putting up another building as the demand is off the hook. Lots of car storage interest

speaking of cars. working a deal on a high end Challenger as we speak, I'm excited!
Want a psuedo ponycar but the Camaro is small with Corvette-like egress (been there), looks cartoonish, and the real HP deal is priced too high even at invoice and GM card earings...
wouldn't buy a Ford and not to mention 'Stangs are everywhere...

So the biggest by far inside and out dimensionally of the 3 with a real 3 person back seat, big trunk, the truest retro lines in one of those crazy Mopar retro colors with 375hp/6sp. seems to hit the mark...

own the truck now- minty new and 12,3xx miles. Those MKW wheels and bigger rubber I put on it really look nice, so does the stainless push bar big Hellas and some other goodies...

not selling the boat, but as some of you know you can only sqeeze so many interests and so much home improvement into a given amount of time and weather!

Have a good winter guys...
Axa, wanna ride?
I'm totally into it and will be off 5 days a week mid Jan thru mid/late March.

Rip,

Been polishing the new sled! Picked up a 2009 FX Nytro RTX SE in Massachusetts last week. 1400 miles and like new. Adding my touch with all of the factory "Bling". Should have it done in a week or so, then I'll post a couple of pictures. As long as we have snow, I'm in!

Maybe I can get you down here for some real ditch banging! We had such good snow last year, only got up to the Hill once early last season.

Been at the home, should I say homes, remodeling deal myself. Acquired another investment property the beginning of July and have transformed it into a money making property again! Along with another garage, 26' x 21' for my new toy box.
