Parker you can bring along whatever you want as long as it is not a naked ugly chick. See you guys in a week.

Ugly naked chicks are under-rated.

Yah Sol they are just like riding a bike. Once you get on one and ride it you never forget it no matter how hard you try.

Never underestimate overcomensation by less than presentable women. Long as you don't have to be seen in public with them.

You divorced dudes remember that, or you're missing the best rides at the fair.

Haven't fired up that log splitter in a bit ... guess it's time to gas her up again!!

Drunks + hydraulic equipment = Visit to Kimmy at the hospital!

I've got a weapon that is sure to put the fear of God in all of you. I'm bringing "them" with me.

I hear that it's not on the water that is going to be dangerous....it's in the woods at the launch and the takeout. When you hear the banjo music playing........watch out! Now squeal like a pig boy.....eeeeeee.......eeeeeeeee.

I can't wait for the live coverage on the News!!

So what does the winner get? A atta-boy? Or the left over blown up potato guns?

Keith

That one scares me, I prefer an Avatar more like Mingo's.

Todd - no, got to be kiddie rods.

Pat - have the keg cold, ready and full.

Kev

Looks like Keith could use a can of crack spackle for Christmas.

The kegs are in the fridge and are cold. I think I might have to bring a couple of them for the derby. But that means no shooting at my boat cause I sure would hate to damage the goods. That probably wont happen though. The wife can hardly wait, not!!!

Pat, I can hardly wait to watch contestants stagger into the dinner for breakfast the morning after your place.

It shouldn't be an issue for hardened alcoholics like myself.

Yeah, I had to do some plumbing work a while back and thought I'd do everything I could to "fit in" to the plumbers world. I'm not an apprentice as you can see, I'm a foreman!

Keith

With less than a week to go ... time to put this one right up top!

I've got the best sound system of any driftboat on the water.....guaranteed! Let me go take a picture. Makes Sol's system look like a Snoopy rod compared to an IMX. Actually, lemme go get a picture right now. Show you what us low voltage gurus do when we get bored. Peace

I will also wire in some strobe lights and sirens. Kid Sauk's boat will be the official RAVE boat on the water. Hope the techno music doesn't scare all the fish

Ok, here are the pics of my stereo as promised. It ROCKS! Did I mention that it ROCKS! The pic quality sucks. I've got 6 gigs of processor, 2 gigs of ram, I'm watching live tv in the corner of my screen right now as I type this....is my photo editing software worth a sh!t....hell no! Sorry for the blur, but you'll get the peek-shure.


We'll start with a pic of the whole shebang as you would see it from the rowers seat.




Here is a closeup of the Boss Marine cd player receiver. The install is perfect, however, the installer was about half drunk taking these pics so that's why the pic is crooked




Here is one of the Boss 5" marine speaks closeup. Notice the water dripping from the speakers....doesn't make a sh!t bit of difference with real marine speaks. Plexiglass covers are for wussies like Sol.....portable stereo...bwahhhh!



If it gets dark.....no problem. The display is fully illuminated. Sweet! Did I say sweet?



Gotta have enough power to keep this baby going all day at full volume. Also need to be able to run the inverter so I can have a blender.....beer is great but margaritas are better



Seems like my posse (Paker and Todd) are opting to fish in Bob's barge so I have room for more peeps in my boat. I am an excellent steelheader so we will catch fish....don't worry about that but you must be SRC approved if you want to tag along. Can I bring Mingo? Keith? Please please please

Kid - you'll have to put on the knee pads and "talk" to Robbo, Kev, or Bob. They are running the show. Get the OK from them.

I don't know when Keith has his days off, so ya might want to call him up.

As for Mingo, I'd personally let him stay at the ramp and just take his wife. Never know when you might need some extra floatation devices in your boat!

historical interjection:

a viking prow would have been sheathed in copper. although not steel it is most definitely METAL and therefore just as good.

Thanks for the clarification, h2o...vikings didn't have 50mm Gatlin Guns, did they?

Well, I guess *everything* about the War Ship can't be 100% historically accurate.

Bob? Bigs, smalls, combo of both?

Fish on...

Todd

Hey kid, your drift boat is as dirty as a D-block prison cell.
