Waters too high

Re: Lake Champlain
 

Water too high??? That must mean he was talking about the train bridge.
Sh1t, I would of called the CG, the rail co. has to have someone there or within one hr on call to open that bridge between June and Labor day. They also are suppose to have someone there during the weekends.. They better be on the ball for my two weeks of vaca, or heads are going to roll!!!! :mad:

Re: Lake Champlain
 

On the plus side, it's nice to have plenty of water up that way this year. Usually it's kinda shallow to dock the boat close
during the time I am up for Vaca.. :D :drink:

Re: Lake Champlain
 

You tell 'em Claude. Go kick their arsses :eek: :drink:

Re: Lake Champlain
 

There's been a train in the afternoon. When the Winds are over 25 mph, they do not get the bridge back to open position. They wait. :eek:

Re: Lake Champlain
 

I guess it also helps to call in sick and take another day of vacation... :D

Re: Lake Champlain
 

A local gentleman's days are very numbered as a result of a brain tumor he was diagnosed with the end of May... He has a request to ride in my boat and we're looking at Saturday morning. I will be taking him for a relatively short ride from Peru Dock and thought it would be cool if I could round up a couple of others to ride along with us, buzz us, etc. and make it as exciting as possible for him.

Looks like we have waterheater and js so far. Suppose to be a perfect weekend weather wise. Please call my cell Sat morning if your available for further details. 518-569-6898.

Thanks,

Neil

Re: Lake Champlain

Re: Lake Champlain
 

Sorry for your troubles Jeff... :(

Re: Lake Champlain
 

part of the game I guess. I never thought I'd play such a long game though ! Something broke in the valve train I guess, and the the other engine shutted off 15 minutes later, like if I was running out of gas. The gauge that was on ot did not work, changed it this week, showed almost 3/4. bad gauge ? I'll see. filled 400$ gas 3 hours before... Can't see why. Don't think I burned 400$ at 3000 rpm in 2-3 hours...

Re: Lake Champlain
 

Hey Neil had a great time and was good to meet everybody over the weekend. I'm sure i'll see more of everybody over the summer.
