Your own highs and lows of 2013
 

Seeing all the posts by Matt (speed on the water) from the industry people, I thought it would be interesting to post our own.

Mine:

Highs, Doing the fall LEOPA run with Brian41. His boat runs and he runs it hard!! That was a seriously fun ride. Finally breaking the 100 mph mark in a boat with Lightingjet. and I can't forget the Battle of Lake Erie reenactment with GlassDave as well as just hanging out at his shop from time to time. Daves good people and good people make great friends. On the friends note, Kicking it with Dave, John, Chuck, Brian and the rest of the crew at St Claire was what good times are all about. And finally getting my boat sorted out and being amazed at how well it ran.

Lows: The great breakup with the girl I was living with and her taking 9 months to finally get her act together enough to move out. All the work I didn't think I had to do to get my boat together and then only getting one weekends use out of it this season. And a major disappointment this season was missing Boyne Thunder because of trying to get my boat together. Tracy, Bob, Pete, Ryan and the bunch up there are a blast to hang around with.

Looking forward to 2014: now that my boat is pretty much figure out Im looking forward to redoing the interior, getting it dialed in and enjoying it. Looking at joining LEOPA and doing osme of their runs, boyne thunder and really looking forward to hanging out with the local jackasses more now that Im completely single and can go and do what I want.


So whats on your list??

Highs...getting my new to me boat, having the heads done and hanging out in Boyne for Boyne Thunder.

Lows... tuliped 2 valves while at Boyne and ending my boating season.

lows... handing out 20k in motor's and drive work to get the boat back in the water after having it for one summer. then having to baby it all last summer and missing leopa thunder fest that I wanted to run do to lack of money and braking in the fresh work.
