Okay, so I was suppose to book the room the other night but did it today. According to Dave (?) that I booked with, he said they are about half sold out in the resort, I didn't check into the cabins though. Don't delay, book your room today (busta rhyme:kingme:)

[Team Jefe]

OK Team Jefe is Booked -- got one of the cabins

i called Jamestown today to see about procuring a slip since we always sleep in Hotel Donzi:boat:, and the guy wasnt interested in booking one for me this year. No ROOM, No Boat is what he stated. :shocking:

"so i am going to drag a 15,000, 30foot boat 8 hours south with no insurance policy that i will have somewhere to park it?":yes:

YES SIR!:bonk:

should i roll the dice?:crossfing: does anyone know of someone comming down with a room and no boat that might want to work something out? :nilly:

Can I do that? if I can, I will. Wonder what the chances of getting that power spot next to the office are on the dock? That worked out well for him.

What about the no Insurance part?

Did we miss that?

[Donziweasel]

1681 miles according to Mapquest. Fogducker, Lenny, and Zealator would be farther if they came, although Lenny would probably fly.

[Cuda]

There was a guy here today from up there. He said there is plenty of water in the lake this year.

You got that right Tim. Barbi and I like it when the water is low, adds a different scenic value..........and doesn't seem to be as much floating lumber:wink:

Shea

[gero1]

[CJmike]

They don't throw you in jail for that there.

[glashole]

Mike

a few of us together + alcohol + to much free time + moonshine = good chance of talking to a judge at some point

[gero1]

looks like just the 3 of us, i'll leave the boat hooked to the truck and we can sit in it and have a few...or 20. if the key aint in the boat they cant get us for dui. jefe, should i bring the smoker for the parking lot????

[Team Jefe]

well I'm not worried about the cops...I'm worried some concerned citizen will come over and tell us to keep the noise down and Bobby G will throw me under the bus like he is KNOWN to do.:bonk:

So, Robert....the answer to the question "should I bring the smoker" is ALWAYS.....YES!!!!!

Shea, if all goes as planned....There will be THREE hairy fat dudes in my party for you :eek:

[gero1]

no shine for you two...one of you has heat stroke and the other is frozen. i am slightley worried about you two:shocking:

[mike o]

well I'm not worried about the cops...I'm wottied some concerned citizen will come over and tell us to keep the nopise down and Bobby G will throw me under the bus like he is KNOWN to do.:bonk:

So, Robert....the answer to the question "should I bring the smoker" if ALWAYS.....YES!!!!!

Shea, if all goes as planned....There will be THREE hairy fat dudes in my party for you :eek:I havened forgotten my promise.:kingme: Plan on maple flavored "something" in that cooker. Stuffs being made around here as I speak.............:yes:

[ITTLFLI]

Mr Hicks ran across this article from 10 years ago...pretty cool!:shades:

[glashole]

thats a cop out way to try to silence us blackhawk guys
we are on to your ways
you can't keep a small group of radicals happy with smoke and mirrors
:angel:
6 weeks and counting

[gero1]

hey shea,i wonder how many of them we can get to follow us to sommerset this year..........seriously

[glashole]

I am your huckleberry

[Team Jefe]

Huckleberry? I thought you were Kind of a Big Deal...Now your're Huckleberry?:nilly:

[gero1]

u jus dont worry bout it cousin j, u jus go head n foller us up younder. hey where is all the smack talk this year???? you know my boat is faster than yours?? i hope i didn't rebuild the motor in the black hawk(small up grade) just for the fun of it! i think some man cards need to be revoked

[Team Jefe]

U, U...Huh? Bobby G....um, were you, you, you, jus' callin' ME OUT:eek:

Really, Reeeaaaally. I don't follow Cousin, I may lead from behind, but I DON'T follow.

and I've never claimed to have the fasted boat on the Lake....I'm sure the BH can outrun me.....especially with the upgrades....right up to the time it BREAKS or you run outta gas.

Either way, I'm one of the few guys will to to tow your broke, outta fuel UPGRADED stuff back to Jamestown.....So, were I you, I'd be careful to whoim I talked smack....cousin.

So, how's that for some trash talk Big'un:yes:

[Team Jefe]

Forgot one point. My man card ain't ever been revoked. Its old and worn at the corners, and a little curved where its been in my wallet.

There are certain things a man has to do to get the card revoked.....I have never done any of those...and I can prove it to any non-believers:wink:

[show-n-go h2o]

We just went down to the lake this past weekend, We boated from Jamestown to the dam and then down past Conley (almost to the lunch stop) and only saw 3-5 pieces of debris. The lake is the cleanest i have ever seen it this early in the year, so as long as they don't raise the level between now and then the water will be perfect.

[RedDog]

...I don't follow Cousin, I may lead from behind...

Butt are you a big deal????

[gero1]

wereent talking trash 2 u cuzzin j as u is president of the man card club, was looking fer dem udder sissy boys who's a hiding. u bring da fish hawk and i is riding, u dont bring the fish hawk and is making u drive the black hawk. any way u see's it i am riding n knot driving dis year......someone's throw me a rope n 2 of dem dar bumper things

[Team Jefe]

Cuzzin G...you gotta deal:yes:

Big Deal? Tim, I can't even hold a candle to all the Big Deal Boys around Cumberland.....At best I am a legend in my own mind:lookaroun:

[Team Jefe]

The other thread reminded me;

...........Please don't forget to have the ladies decked out in Red Bikinis...we need to get a Red Bikini Crew photo and the More Hot Donzi Girls we have in Red the betterhttp://www.donzi.net/ubb/eek.gif

[glashole]

Huckleberry? I thought you were Kind of a Big Deal...Now your're Huckleberry?:nilly:

just think of how big a deal he is if i am his huckleberry

if that big clunker of a fish boat is down there i wouldn't mind scoring a ride myself

Since Todd isn't "able" to post I thought I would volunteer him as part of the Red Bikini Crew:cool:. He said he has been dieting to get the last few mph out of the SE to keep up with the big boys...so he thought he may look good in a kini! What he doesn't realize is that if he got his head down below the wind the darn boat would pick up 2-3 mph! That thing is like a parachute! :lookaroun:

:wink:

[xedmoc]

Peeps,

Now it looks to me that the event includes (3) boat runs -

friday

1. lunch run to lees ford marina

2. return trip to jamestown marina

saturday

3. fun run to harmon creek

Bringing my newly repaired & Trueserized 1990 Sweet 16 to the event. I know it will run great! This boat is roughly a 50 mph boat. I know I will get left in the wake of many, which is fine.

Not knowing the routes on the lake system, will it be difficult for me to navigate, keep up, etc. Will there be other slow pokes, relatively speaking, of course?

When Im on the small lakes of northern Wisconsin, no problem, as I know the lakes and a 50 mph boat there is very fast.

Give the newbie some advise....Thanks in advance.

XEDMOC

[glashole]

you are going to have a great time

we have everything from really fast boats (blackhawks) right on down to 30-40mph boats

everyone runs in one direction then we stop and wait for everyone to catch-up and start again so we try to keep everyone together as much as possible

as mentioned above
the only issue that we have run into is the big dogs(aka fastest boats, akka blackhawks, more commonly known as the biggest of deals) don't really pay too close attention and run so far ahead that they tend to go too far (the end of the lake) and have to come back

the beauty of this running is lake is that there are only 2 directions you can go and if you are behind just keep going until to see someone you recognize or if you are ahead stop and go back

[FISHIN SUCKS]

Give the newbie some advise....Thanks in advance.
XEDMOC

No need to worry new brethren, Shea is right (Glashole)! You will have a great time. Besides, it's a rule.........no bitching allowed!!!!!!!!!!! I will be starting a thread pointing out some tings.

While the lone Donzi 275 medallion cruiser may only have a top speed of 42 mph, he was not the last one to Lee's Ford last year......and no, he did not get a head start.

Sorry to hear you won't have your better half with you, maybe you can find a rent-a-chick on the dock or something. Shea used to bring a chick wit him, now he just brings a dood.

Look forward to meeting you, have a safe trip down,

tom

[xedmoc]

Tom,

Look forward to meeting you too! You have been very nice to me, thanks.

Perhaps, I'll find a Kentucky girl who enjoys the aroma of a fine cigar, and ride'n in a bad ass lil boater. Then I'll have to 86 her before I leave!

I like the way you think. The good news is, the girls down there are used to being 86'ed on Sunday when the boaters leave so it won't be hard and she won't put up a fight.. lol

Have a safe trip in.

[Team Jefe]

Don't Worry E, Me and The Revenge tend to loaf behind and police up the stagglers....let's the...um....Blackhawks go running off like banshees.:nilly:

Warning to all...if you need a tow....I will be towing at speed this time. All the love for Sam and his VERY Sweet. Aniv. 16....but 3 hours back to Jamestown was just too much:yes:

[ITTLFLI]

No worries on the tow boats! We have an official tow boat this year! Only one though....so lets keep the boats fueled :lookaroun: and prochargers inspected :wink:

:cool!:

[BUIZILLA]

No worries on the tow boats! so I get to run Tripper's barge?

[gero1]

it always comes back to the fuel deal! so i guess i'll put 30 gal in this year instead of the normal 19-20 that i put in to keep the old clunker light

[Donzi Vol]

Printing the registration off now...mailing with the check tomorrow. Just me (unless some eye candy comes into the picture in the next couple of days:lookaroun:) and possibly the 18. I will only be able to join on Saturday and/or Saturday evening due to my work schedule.

See you guys there!

Those dam blackhawks want to run 80+ and leave us slow guys :)

Going out this weekend to get the boat ready for the run See you guys soon
Can't wait

[Brad Lyon]

I booked a three room cabin this morning. So it looks like my two sons and I will be coming. I am not sure if my Flex will be able to put the boat in at that ramp, so I may need a hand....

This will be finished, a clock mechanism installed, and brought to the AOTH auction.

It was intended to be a test carve of a new design, but it turned out good enough to be a keeper. My digital routing machine's chuck broke, and fortunately the company came out with an upgraded version just days before. The upgraded version proved to be better than expected.

I will hold off on disclosing the "final" version for now.

Hey Mark, looks like the water is up this year, maybe even higher than last year at this time. Here's the link for the live webcam at Jamestown:
http://lakecumberland.com/allcamz.php

On that same website, they show a pic and a story of a thunderstorm that did some damage at Lee's Ford.

Maybe we can get the Official Tow Boat to sweep the lake for us:kingme:.

Okay, the down side may be that there will be floatin lumber. The up side, we won't have as many steps to go up and down at the resort or Lee's Ford. The other up side: We will all have a great time:yes::yes:!

from what i have seen driving around in nashville, most of the wood from l c has ended up in downtown nashville or on it's way to clarksville and beyond. i would think they are letting the lake down as fast as they are allowed with out causing further flooding down river(nashville) do all you ladies have your boats, bumpers and ropes ready?

[19donziz29]

Well I flew over Lake Cumberland yesterday on my way back to Chicago from Atlanta. It's very cool seeing the lake from above and the distances we actually travel on the water! Can't wait to get down there!

[show-n-go h2o]

They have a lot of damage there from this past weeks storms. They are working hard to clean it up and there are a few groups forming to go down and help them out. On up river a whole marina broke loose and took off downstream.

[show-n-go h2o]

here is a video of a marina on Herrington that broke loose and left with the current. Again this is not mine but i thought it was worthy of sharing.

Take your chainsaw...... That just suks....:garfield:

Lee's Ford may still be a mess when we get there but the rest of the lake should be no worse than years past. We all need to pray for high winds and no more rain, that will get it cleaned up quick.

Well anyone that was at AOTH last year may remember we repowered my fathers X-18 jet with the original 454 mag motor out of my 1994 22. It was a great solid low time motor when taken out of my 22. When we decided to use it in the X-18 we pulled it out of the corner of the basement and washed off all the cobb webs, prepped it, including priming the oil system as it had sat for about 5 years. All was good!

Well in typical fashion, we never fired the motor once installed in the boat and waited until we got to AOTH to run her. Dad backed it in the water and hit the key. It fired right up but no oil pressure so he shut it down immediately. So....no X for AOTH last year. After AOTH he stuck it in the boat shed and forgot about it until about 4th of July when we went out to diagnose what the issue was. We determined the distributor was not mating to the oil pump rod. So we thought he may have used a SBC rod instead of a BBC rod when installing the low profile jet boat oil pan and pump last year.

Fast forward to last night...

We yanked the motor to change the rod. Well we found that the melling hi vol pump he used was actually the issue. The stub coming out of the pump was where we lost the length(see pic). So we grabbed a new pump off the shelf and reassembled! Problem solved! :kingme:

Before everyone gets crazy,

The webcam from jamestown looks great.

[Z-Man]

Yes it does! Has anyone but one the water for a better report?

[FISHIN SUCKS]

Do you mean 'Has anyone been on the water for a better report?'? I think Todd and Deric have.

We are definitely coming!!! We have toughed it out in storms, debris, warm sunny weather, empty fuel tank, cold crappy weather, broke starter bolts, over heating issues, broke spring/U-bolts on axle on boat trailer........but never ran out of beer/booze, good times and great people!!!!! As mentioned in the 'Do's/Don't's', we have no control of the weather and the water, but we do have control over our attitudes. Remember a few years ago when some people were concerned when the water level was lowered because of the wolf creek dam repair and peeps were saying there wouldnt be enough water to run in? Well, there was plenty of water, abundant scenery, and a great time was still had!

Looking at the lumber at the Jamestown resort live webcam, it looks about normal........Great!!!

Can't wait to see/meet everyone tough enough to be there,

tom

[gero1]

i will be going to jamestown in the morning to check it out. like tom said, i will be there even if dar aint no water in the lake...good times,good friends

Where's the wood? Lake looks great. Fishin' Sucks, there are only 60 steps insted of the usual 171.

Should be fine by the time everbody gets here in two weeks.

Out!

[Team Jefe]

COOL thanks Robert. Once Change for the SE Texas crew....we are downsizing to one boat. Matt is coming with me and leaving the formula at home. He was gonna be by himself and unsure of running in unknown waters...No biggie, we were short a few road trip drivers anyway when he lost his crew.

Besides I told him, a rumor of a big Formula SS he could bum a ride on if he neeeded a fix.:lookaroun:

I don't have time to make more, but I'd consider taking orders for later. Here's a teaser of the "final" version:

I'll be back down this weekend on a fishing trip, I'll have a full report by Monday..

[rumshaker]

Shelley and I finally worked out the issues of the Rumshakers getting to the OATH thanks to Tom!

[show-n-go h2o]

Here is a water report from the local Marine Assist owner. He posted this today.



"Just for informational purposes,

We had a call yesterday and ran the boat out of Lee's Ford (http://lakecumberland.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=27338#) Marina to respond. Fishing Creek was surprisingly clear of debris.

Today I was at Waitsboro Recreation Area and no debris was noted anywhere in sight except on the bank.

Yesterday I was at Halcombs Landing pulling a boat out of the water that came from Grider. No debris reported or seen on the main lake at all.

No debris noted in the Jamestown area.

I have no report from the Conley area as of now.


The water is a little muddy colored from the runoff, but most of the debris is already hung on the bank and the lake is settling back to 680. Unless we get another quick rise I would not expect conditions to change. We had some good winds while the lake was going down that caused the debris to clear pretty quickly.

There is a lot going on in the next few weeks. If you want to be a part of any of it I suggest you get on your mechanic's schedule to get summarized or you may be caught up on a list and not launched when you want to be.

The water color should improve over the next couple weks as the sediment settles out. "



Sounds like all is clear for the Donzi event as usual.

[kimjohnandmacy]

The Richards, of Hotel Donzi, are still unsure if we are comming for a couple of reasons... nevertheless, i wanted to let you know that i will send my PA down with Fishin Sucks for use at the dinner/auction. i would hate to see him strain his voice while raising funds:yes:

[Bandit]

I had a buddy bring his houseboat from Jamestown to Burnside this past weekend. He ran into some debris around Conley. The rest looked good.
Don't forget the OSS on Cumberland June 4-6th. http://www.lakecumberlandgrandprix.com/
I heard the course changed to go all the way to Burnside Marina but their website doesn't have that.
