Things I learned at Lake George 2005

Well after a year sabbatical from events I am back (hide the women and children). After this dust off I felt the need to revive an old tradition I always used to do:

1. Treasure cove will leave your paper work for you when you are a “late check in”

2. The sign on the door will say “ the key is with the paperwork”

3. The key will not be with the paperwork

4. The AMEX will not unlock the hotel door

5. The only hotel with a person in the lobby will have 1 room available.

6. It will be the $350 a night suite

7. Ever notice some people work on their boats forever and never seem to make any progress?

8. Talking to Mike Miller with the 830 hp Culotta blower motor in the background isn’t easy.

9. Talking to Mike Miller in a library can also not be easy

10. Brad needs fuel

11. Can someone pull the plug on the lake?

12. Ever noticed when someone pulls over during a run to take a leak invariably everyone heads that way?

13. If you can’t hold 70 solid you can’t keep up anymore

14. Brad needs fuel

15. We really need Geoo to lay down the law for King Sting

16. Brad needs fuel

17. My shoes get wet every time I try to tie up a boat

18. Weaver’s 14 is super human…al dente style

19. Brad needs fuel

20. Brad needs also to connect his steering wheel to his outdrive (we call that value added in the marine industry)

21. Brad tows an anvil behind his boat

22. Brad needs fuel

23. HP500’s laugh at rubber hubs

24. Apparently Treo’s are the new thing

25. The bar did ok with Vodka, Gin, Rum…but could not for the life of them get Tonic right

26. Baxter’s Quiz is good, tie breaker needs work though

27. Elvis lives

28. 1776 is more painful for me then I ever imagined

29. Amy yells when I leave the room

30. People laugh…who are awake

31. Anyone have the picture of Geoo “on” Stevie Marr?

32. Bull Hamsta

33. Dwight has 50/50 odds of being completely overwhelmed by blonde girls of assorted ages for the rest of his life

34. Sometimes at the Donzi factory the sun, moon and stars line up. On that day apparently they built Chrome Guerillas boat

35. Too much water in the lake

36. …but it doesn’t come with the room

37. Hang up the phone before you curse someone else out

38. I have seen the light….or a classic run with a Bravo prop…and run well….

39. We conduct onboard tech inspections…and learn something

40. Paul knows every airline phone number by heart.

41. Buying a ticket 34 minutes before take off WILL get you strip searched.

Good afternoon, Good Evening, and Good Night

So Jill and I are touring the farthest regions of the wilderness of the Upper Penninsula of Michigan this weekend... My phone does not ring at all, nor does it get a signal in 99.5% of the places we visit.... We get to the hotel room for the night and the voicemail indicator starts flashing... Return the call to the source, to go un-named, and get the goods on rubber hubs.

Just goes to show you, you can be half way to the Artic Circle where the sun doesn't set until 11:00 and Donzi event news still travels fast.

Looks like you guys had a great time.

Thanks for the recap.

Chris, think 1000 Islands bro!
