Thank you!

I can tell you they are snug little shoes. ;)

No, I think he's just trying to cover up his own boondoggle by trying to shift the attention on me. Afterall who parks a boat on a ramp and passes out in it in a fishing area where the guys show up at the crack of dawn, bait in hand and ready to go? Drives all over the lawn, knocks down and drags the marker cones, finally launches the boat, only to leave lines draging in the water and then backs over one and stalls out one motor while making an attempt to get it to the dock?

Did I really look that foolish in MV 35 Hottie's shoes? I think not!

For those of you who were preoccupied over the weekend skewering a pig in the azz with a big stick, we had a little party for Axa in belated celedration of his birthday.

Pleased to show you Axa finally got a pair! Little gay, but best we could do for him on short notice.

My best Madonna impression! Thanks to Sam for the Sponge Bob garb...cool.

Dave

The big party at the Pond this weekend was one to remember. It rivaled the Pig Roast at 3 Mile Bay. One chick was on the beer pong table dancing - totally unclad - I mean nothing on!!!! One of the "Boy's" GF's apparently didn't like that so later she punches the table dancer out!!! Then, it's like 10:30 or so, we hear this ruckus out in the water, figure it's just people swimming, NOT. A float boat carying way too many people and all of the band's gear, amps, guitars, boards, speakers, the whole works, sinks!!!!! Evidently, the engine quit, everyone on the float boat goes back to the stern to see whats wrong, they upended the boat completely, it fricken rolled right over - upside down. All the gear, all the people, 500 beer cans, everything, in the drink.:picard1:

Next day, it took like 30 guys to right the boat. Zero recover of sound equipment as far as I know, like it's worth recovering anyway.

What a party, absolutely wild. Couldn't even count how many boats were there.

One of the guys performing at the party who lost his equipment in the "incident" is P.J. Shaggy. Got Twins renamed him P.J. Soggy!!:D

P.J. probably won't see the humor in that!!!

That's too bad...Isn't it JP Shaggy?

Dave

Yeah maybe, I've probably got it backwards. It is too bad. The Boys put on a great party and Shaggy worked the crowd like a pro. That's going to set him back a bit.

That there is some funny chit!! :lolhit: Wind out of the south at 4 knots, we be boatin' today:evilb:

Twins, any of you makin' it for HarborFest?

I am going to try and make a run for it we will see .... been working a lot of Saturdays until 6pm ..... starting to be a pain in the azz doing the chinese fire drill trying to get there.

If I can get out early I will be there. If not I will probably pass.
I have the kids this weekend. There is a possibility I might drive to Oswego instead. It would be much easier if it is past 6pm for me.

Are you at the same spot? Is it called the "International Harbour or Marina"?

If you get a chance give me a shout .....

Jeff

:traurig001::traurig001::traurig001:

Man Dave!!!! You must be getting old..I hear a lot of whining out of you this year....I was thinking this weekend was not bad. Wish I could have stayed with the smart ones that took Monday off up at lake view:drink:

Mike
How is the marina this year?Someone told me it changed hands.I am skipping the fore days that I payed for in the past. Is there lots of open slips like last year.Any room for girls in dog collars:drink::eekdrop:

Actually got to the pond today with Kitty, lake was perfect. Marina is supposedly full up for harborfest, Jeff, I'll call you tomorrow.

Bird where were ya yesterday, we had 3 boats lakeside around 430-500pm

Why, I was working of course. Keeping that highly reliable and carbon-emission-free nuclear energy running to all your homes.

It was a nice day though, I have a good view of the lake from my office.

Pachanga Mike and Laurie were up at Lakeview, they stayed with some others overnight Sunday.

I'm in Buffalo now, vendor audit. Back Wednesday night then off for ten days.

That was Saturday morning before it got nice out. Forecast was not promising but it was perfect at the Pond. It was a little drunk outside but other than that it was sunny and nice.

Bob, Shouldn't the pee bucket be bigger than the drinking mug?

:p

Pete
You know that my boat comes with a pump out!!! That is for the ancor rope!! But did you check out the rum dispenser..No Jackie Chans this weekend:ernaehrung004:

Hey Mike!!!
Laurie said that you may know this guy...I will not show you the pics from the fly bys on the lake.... when we took off for home..:picard1:

I just thought that was a Bob sized drinking mug.


Poor Jackie! Seems to have lost all his bud's. :ernaehrung004:

Thanks Bob, no pics needed i have a vivid imagination. :ernaehrung004:

Just got this this morning! Seems that Axa and Rock Star were out carousing with one of the locals last nite.

Thats would be Axa in the Offshore shirt.

They're just monkeying around.

I can't believe, I go to Germany for a week and there hasn't been a single post? Heading your way for the second annual King of The River Run. who's in. Since I may not have a slip in the boat house cause half of you on here made reservations before me I believe it should be good turn out exceot for those electing to turn tail and hide for the day:drink: All in fun, hope we can all get together for another run like last year.

When are you going to be in town..We are taking a trip to some place for most of the week..we will be back...you up for the week?? I have the dempster crutches in the truck:drink:

Hip is good to dance with Mom this year!!!

Just need the woman and the dog and we are on the road for the bay. :evilb::evilb::evilb: Let August Begin :boat:

Couple things here,

Congrats to Sonic Bob for the "Cleanest Boat in the Swamp" award.
Good thing they didn't see the boat sunday morning in the Pond!:eek:

5PM and the "Woman" did show in the Bay on saturday, with Mich the wonder dog. The slip did shudder a bit on move in, but WTF it will adjust. :D It would seem the mysterious and everpresent undercurrent has somehow left the slip, 5P nailed it on the first try. Thumbs up to 5P, like I said, you're a better man than it's seen in a while.

Axa apparently did not pizz off the captain on Alan Jacksons 80+ foot Berger yatch with his runaround deal on friday afternoon. The Berger was at the Riveredge this afternoon along with the tag-along boat, both amazing pieces. The Berger is some 30+ years old and looks like it left the factory yesterday, awesome classic yatch.

Heading out this Friday (7th) after an a.m. meeting should be in town early evening. Staying all week returning to Mi on the 16th.

Took the boat for a good shake down this weekend out in Lake Huron, 2-4 foot chop small craft advisories and made for a smooth run at about 50-60 with the wind and 40-50 into it:drink: 30 mile run from Port Huron up to Port Sanilac.

I'm sure you're better-half enjoyed that little cruise!!!

congrats to 5P

Having backed down and secured my boat into that slip for 13 years, often times solo, and never made contact it would seem it can be done successfully by someone who knows how to handle a twin engine boat.
Though having never frequented that slip you would know nothing about your own propwash off the wall and it's occasional effect.

BTW... Hows the copycat clothesline working out for you? I'm sure even with that little helper you not bringing precious in without assist.
Can you even get directly from the cockpit to the deck?

I'm sure 5P is enjoying what I've done before him as much as you are. ;)

Was only going on past reports, no current data on the situation for this year. Others have been in and out without comment, so I assume a change may have occured.

The clothes line deal works well, not a bad idea. I have made some mods to mine that makes for install, level adjustment, and removal without having to perch an extension ladder on the finger docks. Same basic deal, just thought out and taken to the next level. ;) Some folks find me quite clever, 5P is using the upgraded version as well. Although there was mention of pulleys and laundry.

I do manage to come and go on my own, thank you. Access to the bow of a Fountain is quite easy. Ever notice the walk ways down the side of the deck? Not little ones cluttered with bow rails, actually designed to be used, quite well thought out, and handy. No need to climb over the windshield whatsoever.

Believe it or not she loved 95+ percent of it. I had two voices in my head at one point. One hers saying slow down and the other a friend saying speed up. We had just came across a couple of bigger crests that we caught a little air time off of. Needless to say it was throttle down across the little ones from there:drink:

I just know my matey doesn't really dig that stuff - she's told me several times!!!!:drink:

Mine says her next trip in the big stuff will be over her cold dead body.


Gosh, I'm going to miss her!
The drowned rat look was kinda cute. :party-smiley-004:

LOL:drink:

Like that one did ya? :D

I hear you boys are in the House this friday night, Cocktails?

Jackie Chans for everyone? Maybe Axa can spin up a batch in the smoothie machine! :eek:

I don't know about the "machine" this year. Not this week anyways with the trip planned. Too much to do now just to get ready. Although, it would be pretty funny to get a batch of Jackie in the machine...we could watch them all fall down after a couple. :drink:
