Anyone going to the Absolute Poker Run Oct 12-13? Havasu

[Magic34]

I changed a business trip around so we could make another trip to Havasu this year. So, we will be there. I haven't heard much talk about this, is anyone else going?

I think we will be out there but won't be running the poker run. We will come find you on saturday after the run.

[LHC30Victory]

We'll be there...just have to cash in the cans and bottles to get $$ for the poker hands :D

Take them to Michigan....you'll get more money there. :D
http://www.clickondetroit.com/news/14214576/detail.html
DETROIT -- Authorities said they arrested 13 people and seized more than $500,000 in cash after breaking up a smuggling ring that collected millions of beverage containers in other states and cashed them in for 10 cents apiece in Michigan.
A total of 15 people were named in a 67-count warrant issued as part of Operation Can Scam, Attorney General Mike Cox said Wednesday. Some suspects were members of two smuggling rings based in Ohio and others were Michigan merchants who took part in the scheme, he said.
Investigators alleged that millions of non-redeemable out-of-state cans were collected, crushed, packaged in plastic bags and sold at a discount to merchants who then redeemed them. Bulk redemption payments from the state are based on weight.
The scheme defrauded the Michigan Bottle Deposit Fund, whose proceeds are used to pay for environmental cleanup efforts, Cox said in a statement.
"Each year, this type of activity defrauds the state approximately $13 million," said Col. Peter Munoz, Michigan State Police director.
The charges include maintaining a continuing criminal enterprise, a 20-year felony, and fraud, a 5-year felony, the statement said.
The probe recalled a 1996 episode of "Seinfeld" in which two characters learn about Michigan's 10-cent deposit law and head there with a truckload of 5-cent New York cans, hoping to cash in on the difference, before getting sidetracked.
"A half-million in cash is not 'Seinfeld' humor," Cox spokesman Matt Frendewey said.

Thanks for the offer Dan, but since I have the kids I wouldn't want to ruin our relationship and future invite potential ;)

[Singleton]

Looks like myself and Strippoker will be joining the activities.
Leaving the women at home and heading out.
Also, Jason gets to drive the truck back to San Diego while pulling the boat. Now that is customer service, get Ultra sales man to take boat back to San Diego for you, so it can have some work done by Ultra over the fall.

[Magic34]

Listen up smart ass, you need a place to stay or not ?!? :idea: :D
Why, is there a tent and some cots in the surplus yard next door? :D

[BigDoug]

Hey, sent you a P.M. Looks like we might finally go to Havi and make it for the Poker Run. You guys better be out there.:D

[Todd969]

Bumpers:D

[Uniqueperformancewest]

Does anyone know if they plan on having kind of a vendors section, where I might be able to bring a boat or two. If anyone has some info that would be great, we'll be there if they have a little vendor area.
Thanks John

[phebus]

I would think the best way you could display your boats would be in action on the water. Sign em up. :D

[TheCarDudes]

We'll be there. :D

[Havasu Hangin']

Ole HH and KROOZIN will be representin' in the ole HH Tugboat.
:D

[Uniqueperformancewest]

I would love to display them running in the poker run, but both my boats are done going in the water. They are at there hour max and need to be sold. So until they're owned by someone other than me they are trailer queens haha.
Thanks John

[Magic34]

As long as my motor is fixed by next Wednesday, I am in. :confused:

[ChumpChange]

I'll be there only if the brother in law decides not to go through with the wedding. :(

Port motor wouldn't start Saturday afternoon at Pleasant. Nice idle ride back, the weather was great at 7 PM, but damn it gets dark early now.
Sad thing is, these motors are the most mild and stock I have ever had. Never had an issue with any other motor I had and they were all over 550 HP. Just my luck.

[Strippoker]

yeah team ultra will be over that weekend have a new 26 to deliver and well we are going to take the training wheels off singletons boat lol

[40FlatDeck]

Gary and I will be there in Predator.

[Havasu Hangin']

[Magic34]

I am trying to figure out how to get the Rhino on the back of the truck. Rhino is longer than available space on the bed. The truck is wide enough but the length isn't and I dont feel like unbolting my toolbox on the bed. Seems like a big chore.

I say you make things easy and leave your rhino at home and throw that nice ranger cage on the back of that truck:D :D :D :idea:

Did you ever call Jason? If I do end up leaving the Rhino, I can get it for you and would be happy to bring it out. However, I will not call, talk, or see anyone from TCB. Sorry, I just will not go there. That cage needs to get to Rigid Industries if I was to bring it.

[Magic34]

Time for a new truck :D
Doh!!! Where the hell do I go from here? What else is there?
I got it... Need to put a truck bed on the FL.

[Magic34]

Cool, will do. We will be around George's house at some point.

[Hardly Satisfied]

[Magic34]

What did the problem end up being?
Fuel pickup line in the port tank had a bind in it at the tip. Starving for fuel.
The shop I have the boat at has been great, beyond great so far. Gave them a good list and they will have everything done by Wednesday. That's only 1 week since dropping it off. Forgot what that was like after my last saga.

[1manshow]

Cool. Well, if I dont take my Rhino talk to Jason about getting the cage to his shop and I can bring everything.
Thanks i just got my parts in the mail and i don't think i will be doing any more business with Jason. I got raped on the visionX light conversion. I could of bought the same lights from Rhino parts and performance in mesa ,az for 150.00 less:sqeyes: :sqeyes: .Oh well live and learn i should have asked how much they were before i ordered them i just thought he would take care of me. 1manshow

Joe,
I talked to Jason yesterday. He said simply send them back and he will refund you your money. He wants to make sure you are good and doesn't want you to feel taken advantage of. Please send them back so this can be right. Seriously, in all the people I have dealt with in the industry, Jason is the best.
He buys the Vision X HIDs from Rhino Parts and Performace (they do a lot together), and he doesn't make $150 on them, they are just expensive. Him and the guy from RP&P have a deal going on some new HIDs out of China that will cost around $300, but they are not in yet. Was RP&P selling the vision X for $150 less?

[1manshow]

Thanks Mike Iam not that worried besides i already have them on so that would be a pain in the ass to take them off. Yeah RP&P has them on there site for 389.00. Anyhow thanks Iam sure i will still use Jason but will check on price before ordering next time.
