I lost 5 lbs on the smooth operator diet plan.
I lost 2 pounds on the "bust your ass trying to piss and swim back to the boat" plan
I lost 4 pounds on the "walk on broken glass" otherwise known as the "walk 200 yards across a rock parking lot" plan
I lost 1 pound on the walk "half a mile down a blacktop road to find the truck and trailer parked backwards" plan
I might be lookin decent after a complete summer of this kind of working.

I beleive the first thought that came to my mind when I heard about the stop at the casino on the way back was
"do the letters FO mean anything to you"

It was a very frustrating weekend. So much preparation went into this run it just takes all the fun out of it. I would like to start with some thankyou's from the beginning.
Kevin, Jeff, and Joe. I could not have gotten a better crew from the Navy. A lot of good stories and jokes were made on the trip down.
Joe wasted no time gittin the oil line put on Friday morning. Once we realized we had a fuel line issue. Blackwood and Ms. Stultz spent hours lookin for parts to get it going again. Then we realized the roller rockers were out of adjustment. Jeff had no problem getting them corrected.
Strip Poker and By U Boy were helping me on the phone with logistics on finding parts, all weekend.
We got the boat loaded with gas and had all the engines runnin by 11:00 PM Friday night. I new my crew was tierd. Other members were returning back from runnin on Friday afternoon with grins from ear to ear. My crew were cutin jokes and laughin about my problems. Everyone was just excited about the run on Saturday.
Saturday morning came around, you would have thought it was Christmas Morning for us. Everyone was up and ready to go at 7:00AM.
We launched and thats when we broke another fuel fitting. Jeff and Joe jumped in there and got the problem resolved as we were going down the Bayou.
We thought we had the problem corrected, only to notice after we went over half throttle we would lose all power. Creed gave us a few bottles of gas treatment, Jeff swapped out some more filters. Only for the problem to come back again.
Finally in the middle of Lake Pontrain she could not be recovered. Creed and Wade found out the news and came to our rescue. They gave us 4 new filters and drained gas out of his boat to prime mine. It was then apparent the problem was bigger than we expected. Creed and Wade did not hesitate to hook up the boat and drag us to Madisonville.
Mike Nelson picked up Jeff and took him back to my truck to bring the trailer to Madisonville 45 minutes away. Only to get it loaded and taken back to Hammond. Once we got to Hammond I got lost and felt the need to drag a 42 Fountain through all the parts of the hood.
We made it back to the hotel around 10:00 PM. None of my crew got a chance to experience Crazy Charlies or Prop Stop. For this I am truly sorry.
For those of you who I took your time away from a fun run. I am also sorry.

Gives us something to look forward to for next year.
There are a few things that we didn't have to subject ourselves to by floating away from everyone in the middle of the lake.
We didn't have to see Ryan in a boys shirt
We didn't hear the word Hummer once as it related to a vehicle
We didn't have to see Louie's brand new boat get trashed
We learned/ affirmed who our friends are
We know that Kevin has a tape worm
We know Tom can live offf of a sugar packet and a crouton
We know Joe like the water as much as Tex

Who cares Tom, thats what it is all about. I know that traveling in a group and breaking down with a group is alot better than doing alone. You would do the same and help any of us. Anyways the Best Western Hotel was where it was at anyways. Where else have you ever seen George roll up with 3 hookers and a bag of tacos?
Like shoothing fish in a barrel.
