Re: Sarasota, you ready?
 

I'm there for ya, get it built it will be there. On the Nortech thing I guess my deposit is just a history thing. Give me a call when you get some time, want to figure out the room stuff and the rental boat. Got the helo thing done.

Re: Sarasota, you ready?
 

That will be great on the helo. Will PRA mind?

If Delo doesn't go are Wardy I think I will have 3 xtra rooms.
Should have 1 extra anyway. I am trying to get Delo to go but it doesn't look good.

Re: Sarasota, you ready?
 

I called and e-mailed but no responce, told them they could use any shots I got for ads. Well I think Tyson is going, he should be checking on some video gear we want to try. So that is two rooms for sure (I think) Sean was sort of saying he wanted to go. But he is from LOTO so who knows? Is your darling wife going? Still have a rental boat :D :drink:

Re: Sarasota, you ready?
 

Yea, she is going but probably won't ride in the boat. Jim and I hoping she and Summer will go shopping but who knows.
I still have 6 rooms reserved, we can figure it out this week-end. I think it is a 3 day cancellation policy.

Re: Sarasota, you ready?
 

That will work. :D :drink:

Re: Sarasota, you ready?
 

taking a cheap shot at us LOTO guys... :cool:

i am in if there is a boat or a bird to ride in.... :D

Re: Sarasota, you ready?
 

I would never take a cheap shot at LOTO, history shows they usually have more boats running. :D :drink: I still have the rental boat for sure :D

Re: Sarasota, you ready?
 

mine runs, it is just gutted and stripped and ready for paint... :D :cool:

Re: Sarasota, you ready?
 

Kool, have only been there once and am looking forward to this year. Am going to see if they will let me do air shots, or may just try to get a boat with some height. :drink: So think about Sarasota. :drink: :drink:

Re: Sarasota, you ready?
 

i am ready... :drink: just say when and where... :D :drink: :D

Re: Sarasota, you ready?
 

5 days and counting, Even though I won't have my boat finished, I can't wait. I will be good to ride on the Skater though. I can't break anything that way.
James, If your out there, I think I will cancel the extra rooms. If anyone needs three rooms at the Hyatt let me know.

Re: Sarasota, you ready?
 

I'm ready, got the video camera and have been playing with it. Different creature than the stills. :D :drink:

Re: Sarasota, you ready?
 

We decidied to skip this one. Kind of a drag that the boat gods are frowning on us Okies. Oh well.

We're going to head for Lauderdale Friday and help the folks move into the new place. I'll take my boat out Saturday and pretend that I'm running with 50 other boats just for good measure. :drink:

Re: Sarasota, you ready?
 

Brandon, sorry about the boat thing, Just no way to get it done. They haven't even finished dynoing the first motor. They started it late Friday but thats it. You could always haul the Cig over for the run.

Re: Sarasota, you ready?
 

Don't think my lens will reach that far :D :drink:

Re: Sarasota, you ready?
 

Hey no problem man. Thank's a bunch for the invite. I'll ride in the MTI this Summer when she's dialed in. I think we will just hang around Miami and Lauderdale this weekend rather than scrambling to get the boat hauled over. You guys have a blast on Freedom. That's never a dull ride. :D :cool:

Re: Sarasota, you ready?
 

I hear NASA is going to decommission the Hubble telescope soon. Maybe you could put a bid in? You could shoot every poker run in the galaxy from your porch, which is nice. :D

Re: Sarasota, you ready?
 

What makes you think I'm not working on that deal :evilb: :drink:

Re: Sarasota, you ready?
 

Never dull, but alot more exciting than riding in the front. Maybe Summer will decide to go shopping and I can ride left seat.
Are you still thinking about Havasu. I'm planning on having mine ready for that but who knows. They made a couple of pulls on Friday, should have the first motor off the dyno today or tomorrow and the second on one off wed. or thur. I plan on picking them up on thu.

Re: Sarasota, you ready?
 

Hey there. When do you get into Sarasota?

Re: Sarasota, you ready?
 

Jim is suppose to pick us up in Tulsa about 7:45 AM. that should put us into Sarasota about 12:00 or just a little after I think. Nathan is pulling the boat over for him but I don't know which day.Probably, Thursday.
What day are you leaving and arriving.
You and Tyson do want 2 rooms RIGHT.I need to cancell all the extras today.

Re: Sarasota, you ready?
 

Not sure, may leave Wed evening or Thurs morning. As of Saturday yes on the two room, are they singles or doubles?

Re: Sarasota, you ready?
 

James, I'll be in Warbird, big Nortech with Turbines. I want pics

Re: Sarasota, you ready?
 

Well good, did you get your pic's or were they so bad :( Have a helo chartered for a couple of hours so hope to get some good ones. :D :drink:

Re: Sarasota, you ready?
 

Be glad it's not today.

10' seas right now, more like 12' going out New Pass and Big Pass.

Not fun. :eek: :eek:

Re: Sarasota, you ready?
 

Be good from the helo :D

Re: Sarasota, you ready?
 

James, I liked them, you should have gotten a check by now
double check your mail.
E-mail or PM me if you don't have it

Re: Sarasota, you ready?
 

I have not been able to check my mail, was not worried about the money. Just hoped you liked them. Do me a favor, don't take pictures of the helo when we are taking pic's of you :D just :D and wave. :D :drink:

Re: Sarasota, you ready?
 

hey james what are the odds of getting a four seat helo for this weekend? :D :D

Re: Sarasota, you ready?
 

Well it sort of is but with gear and the piolit (which we do need) it is pretty much full. Still have the rental boat, not fast but dependable. :D :drink:

Re: Sarasota, you ready?
 

kick tyson out.... :D :D :D :evilb: :evilb:

Re: Sarasota, you ready?
 

he's my video guy :D :drink: :drink:

Re: Sarasota, you ready?
 

i guess you better not kick him out then.. :D

Re: Sarasota, you ready?
 

Well for sure if he has the camera with him :D :D :drink:

Re: Sarasota, you ready?
 

at least grab the camera first.... :cool: :D

Re: Sarasota, you ready?
 

hehehehehehe How did you guess.

1)My contact fell out
2) Bad gas
3) threw a blade
4) Girls on board were scared
5) someone put a pea under my seat cushion...couldnt get comfy
6)that "big yellow thing" brought back scary childhood memories of sesame street.
8) that boat was so noisy! lets slow down
9)wow the waters so pretty here...let's just cruise
10) ...........


we were waiting for you guys to go so we could do a fly bye BUT.....you never opened her up. :)

just kiddin where was that shot taken ?

maximus

Re: Sarasota, you ready?
 

Think he took that one just before this one :D :drink:

Re: Sarasota, you ready?
 

Anyone got any idea of the boat count???

Re: Sarasota, you ready?
 

I'm pretty sure a turbine will burn any fuel that is combustable with air so that throws out #2, I threw a #6 merc prop blade off before and you cannot keep running because of the vibration so that throws out #3 and, the water was muddy looking and not pretty so that means it must have been one of those other reasons.

Have you had any problems throwing prop blades off?

Re: Sarasota, you ready?
 

Hey tyson you do want the room at the hyatt this weekend right. I think it is around $189 a night or less maybe. The other rooms were more expensive, but i just cancelled them.
