Not to be tagged a Scrooge, a belated Merry Christmas to the northern ball busters,
and a timely Happy New Years to all :drink: !!!

say to you Ragged.Hope all is well up north?

happy new year everyone

And to you and the rest of the Ponders as well !!!

Liking 2012 real well so far here, warm and no white chit ! :drink:

Wtf, 1/1/12, really!!!

Sad but true. Would seem that the good old days of ball bustin' have come and gone.I can only guess some are just too F'n old and tired, some have fallen down and are F'n busted, some have found real jobs and are F'n busy.

New thread .......... TIOTF'NBB

The Thousand Island Old Tired F'n Busted and Busy Club.

Truth is, we all know that the Biotch rules the roost. :evilb:

Ahh yes, like Reggie Fountain himself Ragged, you ARE a legend in YOUR own mind.

Dave

that's been my thought the last couple weeks...

some of us are enjoying the winter that wasn't
some of us, well, not-so-much...

got tired of waiting for snow so back to work finishing the inside of the house
I'll have the place pretty much wrapped this year, the remaining rooms reworked including the kitchen,
I got more than half of the inside sq. footage done 2011, new furnace, both buildings restored and the drive paved. Last year was very productive!

looking forward to spring now (which of course is still 2+ months away) getting out in the yard, and driving the Challenger

if I can stay motivated, I may even get close enough to the end to allow myself some boating later this summer!

To settle this once and for ALL....

Here is a link to the winner of the

KING OF THE RIVER


Dave

:lolhit:

Not any more, but it is for sale......... again.

Dave-

heard you ran into my buddy over in Jersee...

Interestingly I did!

I also ran into a buddy of C_Spray on here too!

Details to follow!

Dave

Pretty quiet over here? No one got anything new to say or have we all already said too much?

I talked to Mark this past week and the boathouse is getting a gutter retrofit. Says its not going to leak anymore! Wow, that's cool!

I'm in the process of commissioning my boat for the, hopefully, up comming season.

Looking at a May 19-23 launch date in time for a Memorial day weekend in the new and improved HBW Boathouse!

Dave

Slushies in the BH?

Sure, if that's what it takes to get you to come around. Heck, I'd even consider something else....well, something anyways.:lolhit:

Good times!

And let's not forget the Captain...Morgan that is!

Dave

Good pics!!! The good ol' days. That picture of us getting down to Pete's level makes me laugh every time I see it. I needed a shirt though!!!

Let's get this party started! where are we going to be Memorial day weekend? Can we have a full showing of TIBBC followers and Ragged the Reggie Stunt double Biotch all meet at the new and improved "Boathouse" for the weekend? that includes the Stealth Dirty Bird ..... The Senator can lead the Cannon Ball Run in the new rocket all the way up Route 81 ....

:party-smiley-020::boat::lolhit:

Unfortunately, I'll most likely be tied up here at the atom smasher. We're shut down for refueling and I don't know if we'll be fully back up by then.

Hey Jeff, what's up with your buds out there? Both are selling out eh? (Ted and Chris). Pretty lofty numbers on those rigs!!!

I'm in! What a riot to drive. Now there will have to be a little on shore race with an Audi, Viper, and a Vette!!

Bets?

Dave

OK, so the boys have acquired some new hot rods eh? Well, not knowing who owns what, I'll take an educated guess:

Jeff is driving the Audi since he's now peddling German stuff.

Pete is driving the Vette since that's the closest thing to gold-chain Fountain on the road.

And, since Jeff said Axa can lead the cannonball express, I can only assume Axa has popped on a Viper. And, since Axa wants no one claming to be faster, he went with most bizzarro, stupid-fast thing he could find!!

How'd I do?

Did we forget that Rippem has a pretty potent contender just waiting to blow out some built up carbon?

Even I'm toying with a new road toy. I want a 300 SRT8!!!! Found a few, not new by any means but I just want a toy to play with. Drove one last weekend. Pretty impressive.

Oh...I forgot about the long lost Ripem. Challenger, right?

Bird, you are waaaaay off...

Hint: Jeff / GMC

Viper owner already owns two other Vipers!

Dave

Now all I need to do is get Cheryl to drag the boat so I can bring the toy :-)

300 SRT is one helluva USA sedan

almost done with the Challenger

exhaust
shifter
stereo
tint
bunch of small stuff

the Corollas getting tired as I am of driving it around. probably got 1 more winter in it back and forth to work.
got 2K in that car so far including repairs and purchase price- been driving it around locally for 6 years. now that's smart vehicle money!

the truck is just such a lumber wagon to drive around local on beat up streets

so I may actually drive the Challenger, though some don't believe it
there's a mileage pool at work...:rolleyes:

WHAT??? A diehard boater such as yourself b****es at work that your giving up boating this year due to fuel prices, but you have the cash for this nonsense?!?!? Not that my opinion and admiration for you was all that high to begin with, but you have just dropped a few notches! :whistle: And whats this about Pachanga Mike selling out? Whats going on up in the Creek...something in the water??? :party-smiley-004:

I haven't actually tried to sell my boat yet. I'm thinking about it pretty seriously though. I just don't get into it like I used to. I just want a fun but practical car to play with. Oh, and I want a pontoon boat!!!!:eekdrop:

What engine is in your Challenger, 5.7 or 6.1?

5.7

I have driven the 6.1 now gone- but I may grab a 6.4 SRT if '14 is the last year

all it took was that 500 mile trip home, really good driving and riding platform.
a great compromise for the not so 20-something enthusiast

it's the independent rear...

Gold plated with Lightning Bolts!!! :eek:

No big stereo, but a nice copper still in the trunk.

So Fountain owners are eligible for the street shoot-out ?

Good...............bolted on a set of 315/25R 22's a few minutes ago to put a bit more tread down and help with the launch.:poopoo:

Atta Boy Petie!!!!:ernaehrung004:

OK, here's how it should be done. The race starts in Brewerton and goes to ABAY on rt 81. We find out what GPS says is the expected time for the trip and whoever beats it by the most wins. (photo proof required) There is no logistical way on earth we would ever get everyone together for a cannonball type run and most of you vages would be scared to make the run anyhow....:violent040:

FYI, we're in for Memorial Day weekend, looking forward to the capital improvements at HBW. Lights, gutters, now all we need is a match and gas can for the pavillion...

Not so fast with the matches and gas I still want some place to BBQ when its raining

Get one of them on board BBQs

Being somewhat the elder of the group here, with age one does come to a general understanding of how some things work, my money is that this will turn into an onshore version of the Great River Shootout, aka King of The River.

Which we all know, after all the well intentioned banter, planning and related BS, never did happened. Likely this will be a repeat.

Maybe we can all get together at the A Bay go cart place some night and have at it, more likely to happen. :lolhit:

They may not like us, but they just don't seem to be able to ignore us. :confused:

If I were you I would try to suck them into a pull off, Go Green!!!

;);) :ernaehrung004:

I'm in with the Brewerton deal to Abay run ..... but I will be dragging "got twins ?" like it's my job ..... I will challenge whoever wants to run up to the river .... My little GMC might have a little surprise for you contenders ..... :coolcowboy:

That's right! I said it........

I'm only dragging the boat to keep things equal .... call it my handicap ..........

:lolhit:
