1. Jrocket should be an expert at cleaning up barf out of his new truck by now.
2. If you think you broke your boat...to prevent looking like a complete idiot...check your lanyards.
3. Danforth anchors suck (even if supplied by the manufacturer).
4. Huckleberry is good people (for a Delaminator owner).
5. High profile boat + wind = no fun at the ramp.
6. There's a BIG hole at the end of the ramp at Crazyhorse.
7. The CRIT fire team will shut down a road just because they can.
and finally...
8. XTRM22 drinks like a little girl! :p

Almost like Jethro... gradutated the 8th grade!
I think I gotta fix the lanyard switch on my boat... even though it isn't much of a hot rod... it'd save a lot of embarassment if I managed to get tossed...

Embarassing is when you pull the lanyard on the engine that runs the power steering...
...with lots of boats around (and a nice crosswind).

I'll say this about HH's new boat. If your a jet boat, don't race him off the line. That sukka flat out hauls the mail from a standing start......Stereo sounds REEEEAAAAALLLLLYYYYY quiet though! :D

I assume you tried to either launch or retreive your boat at the ramp closest to the entrance. The ramp has a 2 foot drop off and is very hard to pull out of the launch ramp unless you use a 2x4 as a ramp or lever. I always try to launch out of the VIP side of the ramp.

So I'm cruising through the channel...and who do I see?
A Needles local with no Havasu permit! Of course, we told them to leave...I tried to escort them back to Needles...but they were no where to be found...
...I would have thought that Shockwave had more in it. :eek:

We were really trying to make it to Chuck's to witness the carnage...but forces of nature were working against us getting the boat put away. Maybe next time...
Beautiful boat...by the way.

That's why I like leather. I've cleaned puke out of fabric to many times. Leather is just wipe up and go. (I've got a niece that has a weak traveling stomach).

Yep.
I guess that's for when I fall halfway out of the boat.
BTW...we had a 38' Eagle pull up next to us in the channel...it was an "East Coast vs West Coast" thing...

Yeah...the CRIT Fire Team (a guy in a tee shirt) told me to turn around and take the detour...but couldn't explain why cars were coming through from the other way.
BTW...it was ALOT of fun pulling my boat on old Hwy 95....

To make my selection on the three above, I just say "YES". It was funny to see how fast Patricia hid the keys after you got the truck off those bolders! :D No harm, no fowl, and a good time was had by all!!!

I'll agree with Huckleberry. All of the above.
However, I'm a little disappointed nobody is asking me how many little girls I've drank with lately?
Man...I gotta setup all the jokes around here...

That's right...me and the guy with the Talon next to me were going to tell him to take his weak-sauce (swimstep-havin') lakeboat to the dog park where it belonged...

Ok I learned
1. My boat doesn't run very good on 7 cylinders (that was fixed pretty quickly)
2.HuckleBerry's Daytona is a wicked lookin ride up close!
3.Probably shouldn't try rock crawlin the F350 after many beers
3a. if so do it in neighbors yard (I'm going to have to powerwash the tire marks of my landscape rocks!)
4. Havasu Hanging really doesn't look like Danny Devito! more like Shrek:D
5. Decent cigars and cold beer are as good on the back of a Cig Cafe Racer as they are the back of a DCB!

LOL! Yeah, that was me!!! :D In my meager defence, the boat was BRAND NEW, it was only like the second time it had been out - ever. My previous jet boat had no lanyards, or fancy hidden kill switches. :D I appreciated the help and that's a mistake you only make once!!! ;)

...When approaching HH at Havasu,in an Eliminator,there are certain things you have to do.
1.Follow (with great caution)at a distance.(To make sure he is not armed)
2.Have all Eliminator insignia's on your're boat taped over(DCB written in crayon.)
3.Have a bullhorn to announce your intention as you approach.
4.Ask quickly for an autograph(have $29.95 in cash) and be on your way...;)

WRONG (you Delaminator guys crack me up...always lowballin' everyone. The correct price is $39.95)
Now...before you Delaminator guys get your checkered panties in a bunch...I'M JUST KIDDING. To prove my point, I was tied up to Huckleberry's Daytona all day long...
...and only broke out in hives a couple times.

HH,
Your remind me of a ghost on Scooby Doo. Every time that I park next to you, you seem to elude me and disappear into the sunset. First a couple of years ago when I parked next to your tug boat in the channel and again this weekend in Skully’s Talon. It wasn’t until you pulled out that I realized that the guy in the bitchin Cig Café Racer with the GT Performance sticker on the deck was the mystery man Havasu Hangin. Don’t worry my friend, I have you on video tape this time and you won’t get away as easy next time mister.
See you soon.
:D
