I have a family event that weekend.

[ITTLFLI]

[sweet 16 1966]

Ran the boat 2 weeks ago- wot run resulted in a cavitation- rolled on side and died! Tried to fire up today- re cranks rough - stuck in reverse. Found rusty shift cable with a few strands left but streched- needs replacing. Been reading.

Let me know if your trim pump doesn't come in. I think i have the same one already at the lake.

[Sweet Cheekz]

New gauges almost done, back seat redone, (flew out of the boat and sank a few weeks ago), new battery installed, new stickers on and the gps speedo finally working. One year later my 16 will show up done for the first time. Can't wait

Getting ready here. Put the new side panels in today and got the shift/throttle back in commission. It's been cold for boating here, but that should change this weekend. Hope to get a run or two in before loading on the trailer.

[Donzi Vol]

I'm ready. Not sure if they 18 will be or not, but we'll see what happens...

Thanx bro, I should have one arriving at the house tomorrow. I'll let you know just in case this aint the right one.

[sweet 16 1966]

Sucess today with the help of a good friend. Shift cable replaced and solved all issues- (stuck in reverse and would not crank). Strange how a shift cable caused the problem. Just glad I didn't blow a drive! Looking forward to the event.

[thehow33]

My family is very excited and I'm looking forward to meeting all of you. I'll be praying that everyone has a safe trip.

Everyone be safe!!

[LITTLE MAX]

Wow it's Monday already. Leaving this Wednesday around noon from New York can't wait. Should be at the lake on Thursday afternoon Had the 20 out the other day it's running pretty good.
Time to :party: see you guys soon

[xedmoc]

Yes, the rookie and the "Trueserized 16" will be there too! Ready to smoke some cigars? I want a picture of somebody doing 80 smoking one of my cigars! Who's game?

Will the "Prop Guy's" be there?

i am sitting the deck and drinking a beer.....should i be working on the boat?

[The Hedgehog]

Not really. I just put gas in mine last weekend.....and loaded the cooler.

All was well until later Sat night and someone poured me a big glass of some kind of clear liquid. I considered that my prep work for AOTH.

[Sweet Cheekz]

xedmoc. I'm in for the cigar 80 thing but not much past it!:cool:

Parnell

[ACE51]

I found it almost impossible to smoke a cigar at 40, 80 must be :shocking: unless you guys have big windshields on your 22s

how much liquid stock does one recommend for this trip? I understand its a dry county.

[xedmoc]

I love it! OK, good enough!

E

[gero1]

xedmoc, are you bringing some cohiba's. i need some, hand full

[xedmoc]

Cubans are illegal, but I'm bringing some very nice stuff!

You are correcto-mondo Fonzarelli......it be a dry county. I look at it like this, bring what you think you will drink, then bring more to share (in case you make a friend), and then bring a little more......because if you don't finish it, you can always use it later. Unlinke produce, booze keeps forever:kingme:!

Everyone have a safe trip down and don't forget your donated auction item,

Kyle, Ashton and I are getting up at the crack of 4:00AM. Does anyone know of construction delays to be aware of on I-75 to exit 62 in Kentucky?

[CaribouLou]

Ya'll have fun....

None in the area untill you get to Cumberland parkway, and that isn't a delay, it just drops to one lane for a couple of miles but i have never seen a delay there.

Be safe on your drive down everyone.

[DickB]

Blew a tire on the trailer north of Waterloo. Fortunately we were near an exit and got off the freeway. I believe the tread de-laminated and grabbed and bent the back of the fender into itself, killing the tire. I was able to borrow a fence post from a local to bend the fender out of the way. Then I broke my (inadequate) jack. The same local lent me a floor jack. A very nice state patrol office stopped and assisted. Picked up a new tire for the replaced wheel, but it was too late for them to mount it. Ended up in Peoria, not quite as far as we wanted but just over halfway. Hopefully, tomorrow will be less eventful.

[FISHIN SUCKS]

DickB, you now have another life story to tell. We almost lost our back axle last year on the way down to AOTH. Have a safe trip everyone, see ya soon,

t

[DickB]

Can you guess? Yup, blew the other one today. Lesson learned about old tires that look fine. Had to wait almost three hours for roadside assistance today. Arrived literally just in time for Thursday dinner.

[fegettes]

Am I excieted? No, ..... not really. I won't be there. :frown::frown::frown::frown:

But, I hope everyone has has a great time. I am envious. I will have to have the good time vicariously through you. Please rub it in.

Steve

[Donzi Vol]

Hitting the road in a few hours. See you on the dock at 10am!
