Bounders' loaded and ready to go but we have no destination this weekend. Summers getting shorter and we ain't staying home so if anyone plans on getting wet let us know.

We'll go back down to Decatur or Clinton or maybe stay at Chain o Lakes friday night and then hook up with the northerners if there's any takers.

And thanks in advance Jbear but I can't make it down to Florida and back in 2 days, some day though.

Sounds like a plan Chris, we're gonna camp at Chain o Lakes State park friday night and I know you're not too far from there. Can you shoot me an email with your address and what time you get started and we'll make sure we've got lunch covered.

Hollywood, bachelor party might work too so shoot me some details on that and I'll see if I can get clearance from the tower. Sunday would work out too but I can't imagine it would be anything but afternoon skiing after a night with the PLBC. Any surprise performances planned gigitty gigitty!!

We've got 2 performers showing up at 11 downtown. You can take the Metra in, but not sure how'd you get back out unless someone was driving back that way.

This might work out. Our driveway is huge so you could park the Bounder there Saturday and we could go downtown together- I'm also trying to figure out how to do the bachelor/ette parties as well and am working that out with Beth. Maybe if we teamed up we could make something happen.

If there's one thing for sure, it's that if the winds are good, we will be on the course both mornings. So, if you want to ski the course one of the mornings you're welcome to come by. This way you could also test-drive a TSC1 as well.

Sunday morning ski is sounding good Joel, I'll give you a call.

This is looking pretty darn good so far.

Definition of a great weekend... Leave work at 5pm in the Bounder headed North. Campsite by 8, steaks and beers with the wife.

Saturday morning skiing with Mr. Quinn as the kids call him. Grill some burgers by the beach for lunch , ski the rest of the afternoon then hop in the boat and head to the restaurant for dinner.   Quinner is a madman, if you can't have fun with this guy you better check your pulse.

Sunday morning skiing with Joel, Beth and Madison on their little secret spot. Then lunch in town to sample some micro brews. Back to Quinners for the afternoon, break the grill out again for dinner then top it off with a couple of double barefoot runs. What an awesome time.

Getting late and tired so we just drove the Bounder back to the shop and slept in the back parking lot. Quick shower and back to work 7am monday morning. We've been on the road for the last 3 weekends with some unbelievable Correct Craft Fans, you guys and ladies are some of the best people on the planet.

Joe, Pulling in sunday night we looked at each other and almost simultaneously said " Where we goin next week?"

We got a slow start but there's no stopping us now.

I guess I missed this one .
We went down to the Illinois on that Sat. We had a great time. But we are always looking for something different every other weekend that is near by . Wish I would have seen this at the beginning.
