Talked to RB Wednesday. Sounds like you guys have a good crew coming. You should definitely enjoy the weekend.

Tentative plans are to meet at Charlie's Friday morning between 10:00 and 10:30. Gather everyone together so we're all on the same page, swap some cell phone numbers and then pull out around 11ish. As far as making a ride somewhere other than what's on the poker run, jmeng is right, that's going to be tough unless everyone wants to run all the way to Slidell or something. Be a long run for a fun run but if everyone is into it, I'm game. Planning on meeting back at the condos around 3:30 or 4:00 and boil some crawfish too.

Not sure if I'll make it or not. Gonna have to do a little cleaning on the boat Friday plus all my crew is working that day. I'll let you know when it gets closer.

you boys are starting early on Friday.....

I may not make the fun run. I am pushing the limits trying to get my Transome housing and engine back on the boat. Friday may be a test and clean day:angry-smiley-038:

Hey Zito, we hittin the Shoe Show after the sign up party again this year?

Not sure if I am going to Make it to the Sign up party it's at the Hooters in Denham Springs this year. Thats a Long ride to the Gold Club from there.

Good meeting you Casey. Sorry I didn't get back over to talk to y'all, things were pretty hectic till we announced the winners. See you on the 200.

Answer's that question - was hoping for some kind of fun run. There should be 5 or 6 boat's coming from Austin as well.

We will be there Fri whats the fun run about?

Ill be in my Buddys 36 outlaw:ernaehrung004:

Theres a great place to eat in slidell,,Marina Cafe, food,bar,fuel close by and a plenty of dock space.. We were talking about going to sun buns but could do both..:drink:

we are in

I dout there open,

Phil's Marina Cafe',Yep he's open!That's a ride from Charlies though.

4 days to go. Currently calling for isolated thunderstorms, 30% chance of rain. I can live with that. :ernaehrung004:

Yep, they're open. We were just trying to keep the "fun run" kinda short and sweet and within reach of Charlie's for the out of town people. A little run to Sun Buns and maybe BRB or Kevin's (man, I wish Pier 13 was still open), then boil a little crawfish back at the condo around 4ish for whoever cares to attend (probably around 4 sacks). Charlie has some things going on Friday evening and there is another party one street over from us as well. There will be no shortage of things to do this weekend, I'm sure.

Ready for Thursday to get here!!!!:drink::ernaehrung004::drink:

ETA: I would like to see Charlie add Phil's place as a stop though. Get Phil's, add the dry stack marina on the industrial canal, put Mariner's back in.... That would get us back around 200 miles!

Sounds like a typical South Louisiana weekend.

Yep. Sounds like a good day.

Where can we top off the tanks after the fun run on Friday?

Tickfaw Marina, behind Tin Lizzies. Also, the Fuel Dock on Pass Manchac might be open on Friday, not sure.

just to let everyone know tickfaw marina and the fuel dock has all new gas from the winter!!!!!!.......jmeng my crew had a great time on the amite 100!

Fresh 93 octane at the Tickfaw Marina gas dock, or should we plan on finding a gas station on land?
