Cant make Torch, but I am all ready to go for Grand Haven and Rosey Mounds tomorrow.

Had to have a last minute Axleedictimy on the trailer. Bearing decided to fall off and take the spindle with it. But I am ready to go for sure. Maybe next year I will try to make Torch, sounds like you guys really like it up there. If your into clear water, dont forget Higgins Lake. I grew up on Houghton Lake, and Higgins is always a blast too. Sunken Island on Higgins can be a really good time.

How True!!

How's the water temp? Torch is a deep lake.

We were trying to get there this weekend but will probably be there Labor Day instead.
Definately will be in the bay for the Air Show on Saturday

I was there a couple weeks ago and there was definitely major shrinkage! :D But you got used to it after a few minutes.

Sorry gang--- I just got a call from Scott/"YZbert" this morning asking if I was going to the air show in TC of GT Bay and I told him I wasn't going to be there because my cousin (we were planning on trailering both of our boats up together) had an unexpected situation arise and my friend who was going to come with me had been called out on emergency work this weekend. So, although I could have went by myself I HATE boating alone anymore! At least I try to avoid it as much as possible---especially with the size of my boat and being several miles away from home.

Scott called me as the band of boats he was with (about 6) had entered GT Bay coming from Charlevoix. I really wanted to be there in the worst way this year---and what a gorgeous weekend!----but I just really hate going by myself! :o

I hope it is/was an awesome time for everyone who were able to go!

Hey Mark,

Sorry you didn't make it up north to TC!

The weather finally got nicer in Pentwater for us... I'm back home now.

I ran the 32 p5x's this week for the first time... not bad... now I juuuuusssstttt need extension boxes I guess :)

KAAMA 07-05-2008 11:23 PM

Jeff, call me. I missplaced your phone number. I want to hear about those 32 P5X's!!! ;)

Torch ended up great as usual. Athough my blower seized during a 95 mph pass. Thanks to Leo Wiseman and crew for supplying me with a new Weind 256! If you see this the check will be in the mail this afternoon.

Was that you sitting at the marina just before the bridge on Friday? It sure was a great day! Although I was feeling a little old this year. LOL

That was me if it was being pulled with a white crew cab F 350.
