Crap.... I can't make it. I am coaching my daughter's soccer team and we have a make-up game @ 9am. Oh well, my daughter is more important than smelling testosterone and racing fuel early Saturday morning.

Let's see what everyone has, it is the end of the season, what better time? By the way... the pole will NOT be in the boat (it's too cold for proper dance attire )

Tell the girls to put on some chap stick so they don't get stuck on the stripper pole since it will be a little nipply.

Re: radar run on the Potomac
Talked to Olivo (checkmate) he plans on running on low boost with pump gas and a little squeeze. He thinks with his new 600 in motor he should not have a problem running 105 or so. Frank got the bugs worked out on his new STV today, im still trying to talk him into going as well. Martin is just gonna flip a coin to decide what boat to bring. Susan said if i bring the Obsession she will go, so i guess ill be in the Talon unless she can hitch a ride on Randys Fountain. Every day I check the weather it gets one or two degrees warmer. 60s would be nice.
