EC39, I know for a fact that Mixer Boy is very good at the Pump-Out Dock! Save that duty for him! Last summer he was trying to shove the hose into the potty like a plunger and a bunch of people saw him w/ his thang stuck into the fitting at the transom tak'n a "leak" :eek: We chaulked it up 2 the beer, but when he did the same thing the next day in broad daylight! Well, U can only imagine R concerns! Pump-Out dock beware! I am so very sorry 2 have 2 B the 1 2 tell everybody about this! Wrink

Re: MI Offshore Party
 

I am not sure EC39 lets anyone use the head :D :D I would suggest Josh
PM Dennis if he wants to ride along since he might not check back. If he gets a ride he will be lucky Dennis is an extremely experienced driver and knows the area

Re: MI Offshore Party
 

Steve of course we have room for you, call me if you are serious and I will get you directions to the house. I imagine you are ready for a night out.

So back to the party anyone else coming, we have people joing us from the Lake St Clair Network, and Speedwake

Re: MI Offshore Party
 

Wow a party close to home. I'll have to try and make this one. As long as there's not going to be any drinking. Or Fountain jokes. JC

Re: MI Offshore Party
 

Donna, We have 6 coming, but Billy already knows. We may start out early at the Bocce ball restuarant across from the Palace and roll a few games. I think there was still a couple of rooms still avaiable at the Best Western down the road 69.00 on the internet. Will try to get there Tuesday (euchre night) to take pictures of the Pantera on the ceiling.

Re: MI Offshore Party
 

Sounds good, I just talked to Bill (OPA) he said a lot of his racing buddies have been calling to tell him they are planning on coming, I guess there are going to be a lot more people there than even I realized :D

Bill said he will have race videos playing on all his TV's and will put out a nice spread of munchies, this was a spur of the moment party but it looks like it is shaping up nicely :drink:

Re: MI Offshore Party
 

Donna, I consider myself lucky anytime I get a chance to meet another OSO member. I wish I had more opportunities to show fellow offshore boaters the Northern Parts of Michigan. I'm bummed I can't make it to the gathering, Have a great time :drink:

Re: MI Offshore Party
 

JC, U gunna B on Lake Char. much this summer? Tracy

Re: MI Offshore Party
 

Tom at Reliable Carriers heard we were having a party and said he is sending me some race stuff to give out :D :D

Re: MI Offshore Party
 

Cool! Maybe he could have the raceboat sit'n out front of the pub! :D

Re: MI Offshore Party
 

Tracey, I was just up there Sun. the condo is drywalled and I dropped off my ceramic and measured for carpet.
I dont know how much time I'll get, I'm hoping to have all the summer weeks rented.
I'm sure I'll get up there at some point, see you Sat. John

Re: MI Offshore Party
 

Look forward 2 it! :D Tracy

Re: MI Offshore Party
 

If the venue is reasonably driveable by an out-of-towner staying in Southfield -- and you don't mind SoCal representation -- I'm a "possible".
Donna, check your PM.

Bill, nice meet'n ya and Thanx again for having all of us! :D Tracy

Re: MI Offshore Party
 

Finally starting to feel human, we did not get home to close to 3:00 :eek:

I had a blast, Bill ad his wife were excellent hosts Kristin (Mrs. OPA) did a great job on the decorations the balloons and the gift bags with the beer mugs & shirts were great, plus she was an awesome bartender. The food was excellent; OPA's put out a free and generous spread of hot appetizers. The mini sliders sure came in handy to wash down the libations that were being liberally poured. You guys were so generous I hope the bar broke even. Stop in at OPA's in you are ever in the area it is a real cool place.

It was great to see everyone, people came from all over; Toledo, Lansing, Kalamazoo, Frankenmuth, down river and even CA :D I’m amazed how far offshore boaters will travel for a beer :D Also thanks to Reliable Carriers for all the hats and tee shirts they supplied

Re: MI Offshore Party
 

had a great time and OPA's bar was the best for this group. reminded me of KeyWest with the offshore vids playing on big screens :D great job Donna glad we made it up wish we could'a stayed longer.

Re: MI Offshore Party
