awesome fall reunion

Well, we are back from the reunion and it was great to meet a lot of new people. The weather was a little questionable at first, but it only rained a few minutes all weekend. Sure was glad we made it and with no major injuries. Bruises and sore tendons are good right???

Special thanks needs to go out to m3fan (joel and beth) for bringing the slalom course and setting it up. Hollywood was in the boat too so a big shout out to him! Thanks to Magicman's81 for letting me use his prop puller. No casualties, but Joel let me use his 4 blade prop. Stang72 is just plain fun to hang out with. I learned a lot about these older nautiques and how to tweak my carb on the 93.

The skiing was great and the visiting was priceless. It is really fun to talk boats with people who are pa$$ionate about their rides.

We have some great photos which will be uploaded in the near future. M3fan has some video which is way over my head, but was cool. I provided many faceplants but never caught on film. But we will get those available ASAP.

Thanks again guys for a great weekend and I look forward to a spring gathering!

Oops, can't forget Todd's amazing trick skiing- Todd wins the prize for "sleeper" waterskier. He'll be the first one to tell you he isn't that good, then uncork some serious shizznit behind the boat. Good times.

It sure was an OUTSTANDING weekend. Great to see you guys again and all your smokin' hot wives. Everyone was very hospitable and I especially thank Alan and Dana for letting me crash in the Bounder. Also, Body was very gentle, he must have known it was my first time.

Magicman will be getting a new pair of shoe skis as closely as possible resembling the old ones as possible, I just need to raid a few kitchens for some cutting boards.

Hollywood, The shoes were made from my EX-Wife's cutting board, having one sit on the bottom of lake Shelby is a perfect ending to that period of my life THANK YOU.   Dana only has wood cutting boards so the next pair may actually float.

Seriously thought, awesome weekend, this whole group of people are so easy to be around and we had a blast with everyone. Todd, great to meet you and Rene. Joel is right, Todd was inpressive on the trick ski and a monster on the course, the guy is rock solid on the water.

My skiing was disappointing, re-injured my arm pretty much first time in the water Saturday. The rest of the day was a struggle and I blew off sunday. I do think my performance in the friday night beer drinking was OUTSTANDING though.

Glad you guys all had a great time. The weather channel was showing tornado warnings on Saturday afternoon in that area. It's awesome you had decent weather. I REALLY wish I could have made it. Get those pics up soon.

Alan....hope your arm wasn't too serious.

Right on, we don't give those to just anybody

Hollywood, your tough image is getting tossed out the window.

Sounds like a great time! Who has all the photos? I can setup a place to upload them and then I'll create a photo gallery as I did for the other reunions.

Anyone who has photos from the weekend, email me.

Thanks Hollywood! I've got the bad boy tee too!
And...Will be wearing it with an attitude!

Hey guys; I am jealous as well, sounds as tho you all had a great time.

Alan: more "12oz curls" will fix that arm problem.

To you PLBC boys: you better make them T's avalible to all on this site. Great fund raiser.

Hollywood lays it down here

We are waiting to hear back from Keith on how to upload our pictures. We have 100 pictures but don't know the easiest way to do it. Will post some maybe tomorrow night. We are busy playing catch up after goofing off all weekend! Later

My bad. Corrected post.

Good looking boat, Todd!

Plan to see Jbear at Norris too! Can't wait!

Joel...thanks for all the driving! All the great sking got me pumped up!It's been over 20 years since I have run the course...thanks for the pulls! Loren really is digging the course too....we headed to the lake today and made some runs! little one wakeboarded too!

Todd...we will be squeezing time in at Clinton, must hook up a couple times! Also...shoot me an email with your email address and I can get you some ski club info...and check the club out! love to have you a Rene join up!

82tique...come visit and take the orange beast for a ride!

Jbear posted once , how we should make the effort to call some menbers or find a way to meet up...I highly recommend doing so! F*ing OUTSTANDING!

I'll tell you that it was cool talking to Joel about your boat. I dig the trailer. We looked into having a custom trailer made then decided the stock one will due! Yikes. We really do like the boat and would like to upgrade, but I think Joel has be set on looking into cruise and maybe a heater. The dreams are big but the wallet is small.

72stang, my e-mail is weitekampt@aol.com or todd@agsourceseeds.com Also, the phone number is 217-202-5946.

I would really like to meet up again this fall. If there is ever a window, give me a call. We may actually be heading that way on sunday if the weather allows for a few hours. I am really pumped after this weekend. It is only September, plenty of skiing left.

Well, it is nappy-nap time. I am still tired an sore from this weekend. That dang slalom will make a guys shoulders sore. I love the clincher gloves, but the forearms take a beating also. I think my nose is finally protruding out the front of my face again. After 3 faceplants on the slalom trick, I felt like I didn't have any curves to my face!

later guys!
