HW, Let's talk to Rob this weekend at the party about a spring get together. He mentioned to me that he'd like to host a meet on the river where he runs. St. Joseph, I believe. I've been there twice and it would be awesome and not to far for James and a bunch of others. There's plenty of hotels and maybe we could find some camping. |

James, still plenty of skiing yet to be had. Perhaps we can find a spot in SW Michigan or NW Indiana to meet up in Spring time. Alan is back on the footin' horse, RLienen is close by there too. I'm sure there are more that I can't name off the top of my head.

It's a shame you guys live so far away. There is still some good water to be had yet this year. With the 2000 Air in the stable now it would be great to have more people that can foot close by to get some cool pics before seasons end. Oh well there is always GL 2008.

Got some shortline done in TX over the weekend. Anyone ever try and put a boom on an 86 BFN with the slanted gunnels? Its pretty redneck engineered right now but the plan is to carve a cup into 2 pieces of wood (1 on bottom and 1 on top) and then counter sink 4 bolts and tighten the "clamp wedge" onto the boom with some rubber or something nice on the bottom to protect the boat. Also got a first timer on the boom for some ball slapping laughs.

Last time I checked Benedict was closed too, but that was a few days ago. I believe Geneva is open, but you can't do much good skiing out there. I'll let you know if I hear of anything opening.

Yes, unfortunately it is. It hasn't been s-n-w for as long as Mary and Elizabeth, but after the storms last week almost every lake up there is out of commission. Needless to say, the PLBC is going through some major withdrawal.

Yep, Powers is a great lake. A bit crowded at times, but super clean, and the rockbar out in the middle is a great place to party. We see John Plumber out there quite a bit, not sure who the other two guys are. We'll be partying it up at the rockbar this Sunday if anyone wants to come out! |

Great job, Johnny. How could we ever forget that morning you learned that move. We went from the Deadliest Catch water to glass. Keep up with it. I still haven't attempted the front deep since GL. Just bought myself a new BI suit too. Hope to see you soon, Brad and Tim!
Keep those vids coming. Ken |

I agree, Kneeboarding with the PLBC boys is a completely different thing.

We're workin on it Joel...our buddy started re-doing the whole site and then just stopped. He's been really busy traveling to Europe and planning a wedding, so we're trying to get him to hand over the reins to one of us so we can get it up and running again.

That's a slow-no-wake buoy, but they're optional on our lake if you're in the PLBC
