"Mind if I smoke?" all set to go!!!
 

I just got off the phone with Joe, one of the owners of Big Dick's Halfway Inn.
He is a very nice guy and a performance boat NUT!!
He is going to rope off the docks for us early Thursday morning, and he is reserving the entire upstairs of the resaurant just for us!!!
He asked if we could be there by noon or so. He is even planning on getting tons of pictures of our boats to put on the wall of his bar!!
He has room for 16 boats on his main dock that will be reserved as well as an additional room for 10-20 more at the other docks.
He is a great guy and is truly looking forward to all of us being there. We couldn't ask for nicer hosts!
So, anyone that is even thinking about going, please show up thursday at noon! It is guaranteed to be a good time!!!:D :D :D

Once again, anyone and everyone is welcome, regardless of what kind of boat you have!!!

Shine up your stuff and get ready for the "Mind if I Smoke?" run and "dockside boat show", leaving from the Backwater Jacks cove at 10:30-11:00 Thursday morning July 3rd, LOTO America.
See ya all there!!:D :D :D

OOOOOHHHHH YEEAAAHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sounds good man........I'm getting ready to head down today for the Poker Run and PC. Won't be in the poker run, but still right by Toad Cove and that's my spot ;) :D

Looking forward to Thurs. not too far away now.

See you at the lake............LOTO style!!!!!!!!!!!

could you please make sure he has a dock girl waiting for me when i get there? rather than minnow shots, i prefer large mouth bass, they put up more of a fight going down...LOL! oh, and it would be great if he can throw in free food and drink for all of us!?!? perhaps ask him if he would also be willing to pay for the gas on the 2nd half of the run!?!?

that should be about it.... ;) :D

we'll see everyone at 10:30 thursday morning, 11:00 LOTO time.....:p

way to go SummerO. you should really think about becoming an event coordinator when you grow up!

BTW, i will be bringing a new XL red, short sleeve Cigarette t-shirt with me. Large logo on the back and small logo on the chest. i already had one just like it and have no use for two. $20.00 takes it.....and yes, it is still in the package. anyone interested???

Ok, well then I guess I might be in since you put it that way ;)

maybe my nephew and niece will want to go.

All of you OSO'ers that are going....PLEASE be careful, after I read about all the accidents last weekend, I worry about all of you.

What mile marker is Big Dick's at?

Re: "Mind if I smoke?" all set to go!!!
 

Is that really the name of the place ?? either way... that's perfect !!

Re: Re: "Mind if I smoke?" all set to go!!!
 

Yeah, the name alone has caused quite the controversy around the area! :rolleyes:

Von bongo: You had better be there bud!

JBK: I don't think he is into perfomance boats quite THAT much!:D :D :p

By the way, if I ever grow up, I'll give it some thoguht. Don't hold your breath, it won't be any time soon.;) :D :D

Hey, Can someone get me a TShirt from "Big Dick's Halfway Inn"? What a great Name!!!!:D

They happen to have a gift shop right at the restaraunt.;)

I told him about this website, and I'm sure he will check it out, maybe you can get one from him! I don't know if they have their own website.

Its at the 47mm on the right side of the lake as you're heading up the lake, and back in a cove. It can be seen from the main channel, but you got to know what you're looking for. Its not a real big place.


Looks so far like I'll get into LOTO about 11pm on Weds nite, so I should be able to make it.

SummerO, great job setting this up!!!!!!!!! Sounds like its gonna be a great time.

Thanks Griff,

Now if I could just get Cigarette to send us some free goodies! Think that will happen?:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :D

I am spending the day getting ready to go!
I will be leaving Monday morning early to take the boat to the lake. I have to go back to Kansas City for meetings all day Tuesday and probably most of Wednesday as well.:rolleyes: :mad: :rolleyes:
Anyway, I'm sure I will be there by Wednesday evening.
If anyone has any questions about our run Thursday or anything else I could help you out with (which isn't much, but I'll try!:D :D ), please call my cell at 620-874-4280. My better half will be there Tuesday night and her number if you can't reach me is 620-874-2232.
See ya all there!!!!

I'm off to change some oil....

I just got another call from Joe. He would like for someone to be there by 11:00 to hold the dock space so other customers do not get upset. I can't say I blame him, it's their busy season right now, so I understand them wanting to take care of ALL their customers. That's what makes a good business a great business. Anyway, I will volunteer to go early, unless there is someone else that is not making the run and can go earlier.
If you can, please call my cell 620-874-4280 before Wednesday night. Thanks
See ya all there!!
