Yes, I'll get there Sunday morning to meet you guys, participate in the carrying on, and general mayhem.

Chris Mars and Picture Pat just departed Scotia, NY headed for Tyler with the '78 Tique in tow. This boat has a "just rebuilt" motor that needs a few adjustments, but should benefit from all of the experts and come home better than when it left. I am really impressed with the turnout so far, and if anyone is on the fence, or thinking of coming for an hour or day, Please come, as it will be a really positive experience!! and FUN. Hope to see more guests, to enjoy a common interest!! Thanks, Todd (UT)

Chris,

Many thanks to you and Pat for the tow job. I'm jealous that you guys will have an extra day, while I'm at work, but I'll join you Mid-day Friday.

To all - Weather is going to be perfect, and the company and boats will be even better!! Join us!! You heard Chris, No excuses.

Todd

As I told Tim a couple months ago, the bad news is I won't make the event this year. The good news is, its because I live in NC now. I suppose I could have caravanned up with the southern contingent, but having made the NC-NE trip 472 times this past year, I think I will stay put, sit on the dock and enjoy a "sweet tea" You never know who might stop by.

Todd was holding a spot for me in the Senior Division Barefoot line behind the classic, as when the event was first announced, I didnt know I was going to be here by now. I'm disappointed I won't be a part of that. Maybe he'll throw a skierless rope off the back as a tribute to my absence....or maybe not.

Y'all have fun and watch those head in the rocks parasail starts.

Well, the southern contingent made it safely to Quinners Tree house. Weve met his wonderful neighbor Bill and now we are getting ready to hit the water. We both are going on just a couple hours sleep between to two of us so I imagine it will be an early night for us. See the rest of y'all later.

That could work, no one would know the difference.





Of course if kneeboard boy Quinner is one of the senior line, I am guessing there will still be the skierless rope.

Although I do have to say, at Lake George in 08, When we were trying a 5 or 6 man line, kneeboard boy and I were, on one of the attempts, the only two to make it. I hollered to him we should drop and try again. I always regretted our not finishing the doubles run. Next time.

Yup, you're hired John. That is an impressive line, you guys. Good for you. One of these days John, we'll get together behind the boat.

I do drills to sustain my youthful exuberence, just to keep up with you.

This is from a couple weeks ago.

My plus one flaked out but the good news is that means I can leave early and stay late I'm on the road I'll be there 1 PM at the latest

Lucky all of you, I have to work till 5:30 today wishing I was on the lake like yesterday... Like I said I will be at the launch hopefully between 7-7:30 tomorrow morning. Anyone going to be awake?

Phil,

Yes, someone will be awake and maybe "still up". Call 491-3368 land line and we'll help launch and get across.

Thanks, Todd

Smart bet Phil

With a little luck, we'll get there tonight before it gets too dark.

Bringing a little surprise for the Benjamin clan.

Tim- BFN in the water? I'm getting excited now

Safe travels to all!
