Re: Emerald Coast Poker Run
 

Just got off the phone w/ Johnny Mac ---- Long story short, when I met him he started w/ a "different" version of my name, to which I informed him was an incorrect pronunciation. So, I've found a suitable "pet name" of my own for him......

Keeping my promise ---- make sure to tell "Johnny Got Jacked" I said hello! :evilb:

--- all in good fun! He started "Josephine" w/ me... so, fair is fair (except that the story behind his name is better!!!!). :D :D :eek:

Re: Emerald Coast Poker Run
 

ZITORACING ??? Is that you James. That gun is beautifull ... Talked with the new owner yesterday..... great guy!!! I look forward to seeing everyone. Bill B

Re: Emerald Coast Poker Run
 

No Bill, I'm Stalkin'.. But, yes the gun is beautiful. That's Jason B's old boat.. You know the trailer well..

James

Re: Emerald Coast Poker Run
 

Shoefly is bringing the whole Alabama gang! Don't let Cat Daddy over do it while he's down there. You, Allen and Yellawood keep him away from all the good lookin' women. His old heart can't take too much more! :D

Just kiddin' of course. Glad the ole boy is going to be able to make it. Bling it On! :evilb: :evilb:

Re: Emerald Coast Poker Run
 

We will be there with a crew of 8-10 in my BT from TN.

Re: Emerald Coast Poker Run
 

THINKING bout going . Can anyone give some tips like how long will the launch lines be? HOW MANY LAUNCHES AVAILABLE.? Trailer parking ? just some helpful pointers to make things go smooth, thanks

Re: Emerald Coast Poker Run
 

Quick reply (same thing my buddy told me when I was on the fence) ----- Ready.....


JUST DO IT AND REGISTER -- YOU'LL HAVE A GREAT TIME. SO, QUIT WAFFLING, GET OFF OF OSO AND SIGN UP....EVERYTHING WILL WORK ITSELF OUT!


---- Well, I did, and it did. I'm booked w/ hotel, boat slip and boat storage (with minimal effort - and I didn't even have my asst. do it this time! :drink:)

Hope to see you there.

Re: Emerald Coast Poker Run
 

Its not much of a line..most people are leaving the boats in the water.theres 3 ramps ,Trailer parking is at the board walk next to Ramada,its a fun run all innercoastal,and its for a good cause....

Rob :drink:

Re: Emerald Coast Poker Run
 

Got an email the other day saying you had to register in advance. Because of all the participants they were not letting you sign up friday.

CM

Re: Emerald Coast Poker Run
 

They said There cutting back to 250, last year was 275.I bet you can still call and register with the Emerald coast foundation or FPBC.

Re: Emerald Coast Poker Run
 

Hell, even if you don't enter, the vacation, scenery and boat riding are well worth it.

Hey Rob, there's also a smaller launch just past A.J.'s behind the building that the old Ralph & Kacoo's restaurant was in. It's a double launch right next to a little bar/restaurant called the Boat House. It may be a little tight for anything 38'+ but it sure is a quiet little place and there's no tide/current to worry about. FYI

See everyone down there! :drink: :drink:

Re: Emerald Coast Poker Run
 

How many Cigs are going......if we can get an amount we might be able to all tie up together at the slips...my buddy might have a hook up

mike

Re: Emerald Coast Poker Run
 

Thanks .They said the park behind the convention center was going to be open,all new but not sure??

Rob

Re: Emerald Coast Poker Run
 

Thank you Joe for the invite....

I just booked the flight from my deposition in Pittsburgh Friday afternoon to Pensacola.....from there I'll walk :drink: :drink:

what a week this is....Fla to NY to Pitt to Destin.....what us boaters will do for a boat ride......... :evilb: :evilb:

Re: Emerald Coast Poker Run
 

Yep. It's the only addiction I know of that you can't go to meetings for that will get you off of it. :drink:

Re: Emerald Coast Poker Run
 

Hell, rehab's for quitters anyway! :evilb: :drink: :evilb: :drink:

Re: Emerald Coast Poker Run
 

We'd then have to first admit we "have" an addiction! :D (I'm pleading the 5th)!

The only thing I'd change, James, is to be lucky enough to have my wife enjoy it w/ me (she had a bad car accident in the past and her neck doesn't like the boating). Both you and Carl Hansen are VERY lucky to have your wives enjoy it w/ you!

I'm outta here for the day.... Have to go get the oil changed in the tow vehicle, getting 'er ready for the trip!

Joe

Re: Emerald Coast Poker Run
 

Joe, See you at Waterview towers...Call me when you get in.

Re: Emerald Coast Poker Run
 

Found out today the ramp behind the convention center is still closed.......


She said there is plenty of slips left,and they were reaching there limit of 250 boats.
