Well everyone on the way to LOTO......
 

Pack your rain coats it looks like raine all weekend!!!! DAMN IT!!!! What the hell Nort get that damn Rain machine pointed some were else!!! It has been so nice these last few days and now this. Oh well we will make the best of it, just looks like less people on the water. I guess we will just have to settle for the worlds largest wet T-shirt contest :D:D See there is a silver lining in every dark clowd. :D:D

HAVASU PEOPLE SUCK ON DINGLE-BERRIES???
:D
YA WANNA SEE SOME ACTION... HIT UP THE LAKE OF THE OZARKS!!! RAIN, SUN, SNOW... WHATEVA!!!!!!!! THE LOTO ALWAYS REPRESENTS AND KICK'S AZZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:D :p :D

crappy weather is okay.... unlike havasu, we just move the party to the clubs. it doesn't matter how much it rains or how cold it gets.....the women still get naked!!!

right on.....

YEAH......we'll still be gettin' nakey!!........just not swimming in that friggin' cold water, that's all! ;) :D :D :D

The eisenglass is still up. The bar is stocked. Jello shots made. Rain? Who cares?
Gary

It's only cool water now............you guys talk the talk, but you're not gonna be walkin the walk unless you have a friggin ski parka on!!!!

I would not be too worried, it is only calling for scattered thunder storms. This is typical for this time of year. I’ve been there years past when a storm has rolled through. Everybody splits for a while, then re-groups a couple of hours later after the storm has passed. If the storm is not too bad, you can always wait it out in the cuddy, unless you have a cat, then you just have to try to out run it.

It will only rain on the outside. Just find a big cabin (another reason for a V boat, or a pontoon for that matter) and have fun. I will be on my roof replacing it so even if it rained actual cats and dogs you will have more fun than I. Just post the nakid pictures when you get back:D

Phantom: I am working on your bill right now :p :p :p Oh ya have fun at the Yard stick, that will be all new and original you guys only go there every weekend :p :p I am sure the you can get Jeffrey to get naked in exchange for the tow home after he runs out of gas:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Hmmm. You won't be seeing any creamy skinned northern girls bearing their assets in havesue with that maxed out uv exposure! Talk about instant carcenoma!

Wheatherman say right now, sunny and highs in the mid to upper 70's.

HAHA
MY Cat has a cabin :)

:D :cool: :eek:


ok now should I be even bringing hte boat??????
Not sure if I want to to it 1300 miles for no reason

Audio and 'Foul call me asap

I am sure we all can get rides from the local boaters????

Just will not be happy with a big gas bill for nothing!!!

I don;t think the Weathermen Know what it's going to do!! I agree with "Got the Fever" this is a typical forcast for this time of year!!

Another thing to remember that is great about the Ozarks, is that a storm can be "Hit or Miss" It can rain it's ass off in one cove and not the next!! Thay also move through pretty fast, lots of time it can rain and then in 10min it's sunny again!:)

612-327-6988

Leaving now to get a few things from sams club

then getting hte boat :(

damn I hate desicions like this.

I've got room for a couple of ya if decide not to bring the cat. It's a much slower ride though :rolleyes:

What a difference.........geeeeee, looks like it's gonna be FUN!!!!!!!!!!

:D :D :D :D

MNFastboat that is a real tough call. All I can tell ya is that they did say rain for today and tomarrow and today is sunny and nice. Man I can not comment on the weather in this area as this is my first trip. Wish I could be more help there. I talked to a couple people up the street and they said that most of this looks like passing showers nothing serious.

Jon

My dad has commented many a time on how the storms are "hit and miss". (He lives just south in Arkansaw) Yes, I think that it is a long way to tow the boat, but any time you go on a trip you have to take the risk that it's going to rain. You drag it along and it'll rain the whole weekend. You leave it behind and you'll be kicking yourself.

Only applies to LOTO.

Yea, In havisued you're guaranteed to see lots of catuses, sand, and sun burns. Mmmm. Ain't that exciting. :rolleyes:

my 2 cents.
9 times out of 10 if were going to get a thunderstorm down here it will happen in the evening.after your already sunburned:)

MissAmy
 

:eek: :eek: :eek: :D Nakey

Hey whats all this about the weather
 

Some of our most fun times at LOTO have come on cloudy weekends. :D

Its always sunny at LOTO sometimes you just have to look to find it.

How profound eh! See what happens when you spend time at LOTO.:D :D

Nort,

We aren't afraid of a little light show, it's just the rights of spring. Oh and I found this new logo for the Havasu crowd.

Way to go!! MNFastBoat!! You don't make payment's all winter long to go on a trip to a lake and leave the Boat at home!!!

As soon as H2O cowgirl gets here, we're on the road!
Lookin forward to seeing everyone again, and all the new faces coming down.

Hey Gordo, ya I'm getting around, but stuck in the splint for a few more weeks. Doc wouldn't let me out of it today. :(

That poodle sign is too much LMAO

I know.........I was laughing my ass off. I have to make a sticker of that for someone I know. :D :D :D :D

Guys, I did my part to stop the rain. Just mowed the yard, covered all the outdoor items you cover if it's going to rain, and left the truck filthy-dirty.

Now just waiting for the engine builder to call back, so I know how to schedule the weekend.

friggin$)(*@&#)) truck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Well, here I sit, typing away
Wishing there was a way
To be on my way
TO LOTO!
Made it 115 miles from home and noticed the rear axle leaking gearlube. Pulled the plugged and checked. EMPTY!
Filed it, drove 10 miles and it was spraying out: (
Took the truck to a place at 8 am
At 5 PM there was no way in hell it was getting fixed

Needless to say I am not in for the big dicks run
I am not in for dinner Thursday night
I am back home where I started: (
! 7.5 hours later I have traveled 230 miles in a circle

Looking at a grand to get the truck fixed: (
This does not include the part where I might have to pick up my own parts here in Minneapolis and take them to the truck myself.
This ensures me that they can fix it.
Other wise, it may not be until Sat
If all goes well, and so far it has not, should be there sometime Saturday early am: (

Or I sleep now and wake up at midnight, grab my car, leave the rental sit here at home since they will not let me take it to LOTO, drive to LOTO, return home on Monday, drive back to Albert Lee on Tuesday and return the rental that I will have to pay 100 bucks for, and pick up the truck n boat: (

Night
I am way to tired for this thinking and decisions.
Been up since 1 am and I am farther away from LOTO then I was when I started:)

Everyone, have a few drinks for me:)
