SJRR 2012

I believe that Marty and his 'pink' are not gonna be able to make it. So AdamT is gonna be the only 'pink' in town.
I know why Adam was on at 2:35am..he works 2nd shift...but why in the world were you on line at 3:39am Bill...insomnia?

Bill, if you get a flight that comes in by 8:30am, I can pick you up on my way to the Tavares/Mt Dora cellulose boat show. I'm taking Friday off to go to the show, I'd like to be there by 10:00am. If you can't get a flight that early, or can't get another ride, I may have a plan 2 if plan 1 doesn't work.

Ditto on getting in earlier on friday. I'll be going right past the airport about 7AM on my way to Parrimores. Even if you were able to get in around 8 or close to it, I would still arrange to pick you up.

I am feeling a lot of envy, have tons of fun everyone, and post pics quick. 77 and humid in Minneapolis today. A jump in a lake would of felt good, but I would still have bounced . Should be ice out in another few days

Well kids it is probably getting to be go time for those last minute planners... weather is going to be nice, water is going to be warm, the people are going to be great, check on the flights book the ticket.. I think we still have a bunk or some floor space at the river house.

Bill I know rental cars are not the cheapest in the orlando area and it is a bit far out for a cab.. hopefully we have a guy that can help you out the eariler you can get there the better.. can't help get you from the airport but can come get ya at the blackwater and get ya on the water if we know your coming..

Now for a good deal on a set of big block chrylser turbo gear I would be happy to cover your rental car expenses

Loud Pipes Save Lives..

Sounds sweet Adam!

I awakened my boat from her winter sleep and took her out on a shake down run on Lake Norman today. She ran great at WOT. I will clean her up tommorrow for Thursday's nine hour road trip to the SJRR.

See you all soon

Okay, we're only days away and the weather is looking like it's going to be in our favor. Time to put the finishing touches on your Correct Craft today and get your gear packed and ready to go. This is truly going to be the best River Run yet so all I can say is I've been excited and anxious for weeks as things have fallen into place with what little planning goes on behind the scenes. "River Rumbles III" is complete ready to go, 'Miss Scarlett' has new iridiums, new fuel supply line, all prettied up for the Run, new Michelin's on the tow vehicle and getting the rest of the stuff packed and ready for departure on Thursday Morn.

Here's a list of folks that are coming that we know of so for final head counts. If I forgot someone pipe up add your name to the list. See ya on the River!

Bicentennial boat how about "Bi-Pride"

Here's a teaser pic for all you northerners getting ready to hook the trailer up! 85 and BEAUTIFUL today! This photo was taken at Bird Island which is on the Butler chain of lakes just about 45 minutes south of where we will all be staying. Water is brisk but very refreshing, I skinned it today and it felt great. Water was so clear it looks like I'm in 4" of water! Next weekend should be more of the same.

Slight change in departure time.....We will leave after 3:00 pm ,gotta close shop, on Monday. This will give us one more full day at the "front". After all Karen has to get there in time to set up for SJRR, tough job, but i will gladly do it...See ya'll there...Billy Karen

Hi,
Went over to the silver river today, Got there late so did not go all the way to the head, Though I had some good pics all I got was my wife's thumb. My camera is different than hers? Same phone? Anyway water depth no problem, There are a few logs to watch out for I almost shined one up.

I'm into Orlando Int airport @ 16.50 on the 21st picking a car up then off to the camp... leave on the 26th @19.15.

See you all soon........you all have a safe journey in too.

I got picked once for jury duty, when I was chosen for my interview, I told them "I think our legal system is backwards. I think everyone is guilty until proven innocent, I mean they got caught right?" "Thank you Mr. Hectus for your time, you are excused".   YAY! Problem solved.
