   This just keeps getting interesting!  I contacted all of the "right" people, and turns out my boat has actually been "grandfathered in", since my grandmother was one of the first property owners on the lake.  Boats weren't restricted, or required to be registered until the early-mid 90's.  Since our boat was up there before... we're safe.  Why we got the letter in the first place, I'll never know.  Maybe someone was just trying to flex some muscle.  Maybe they didn't realize I was going to jump on this to make sure we could still use our boat.  Who knows!  

Stang72, the lake is about an hour outside of Baton Rouge, La- very beautiful! I don't run the boat any faster than I do pulling a skiier... I'm in no hurry!  (I don't have the fear someone else will catch MY fish!)  Typically when we're not skiing we're over the BBQ pit or sipping on a vodka tonic watching the sunset.

	Katie...glad to hear that worry is over...now hop that engine up as big as you can without sinking the boat! Oh ...and do ever sell it! It does make you now aware that being involved and having a voice in your association is better than dealing with things after someone else has decided something...yes, do have some involment! BBQ and Vodka tonic... Expect to get a call from jbear informing you that he and the miss's are on the way over! Send them up here next!

	I got a phone call from AWSA! They sent me a listing of all approved "tow" boats- so I'm going to make a big to-do over the list at the next meeting, in the fall. I have got to get it through to these people horsepower isn't bad... Crawfish will be boiling next weekend! We typically grill anything that walks or swims. We're doing venison burgers tonight and salmon on a cedar plank tomorrow night. Anyone ever heard of the Prop Stop on the Tickfaw River? You can get a great "worm bucket" there: Rum, pineapple juice, splash of oj, grenadine, splash of sprite and a gummy worm, of course. These are so good, they're like candy! The best umbrella drink ever :) Work is killing me today! I need to be on the water! I feel like I know all of you now... if you care to reply, where are you from?

	Katie...what a small world. I was gonna post a while back and tell this story, but now I have to since you mention Baton Rouge! I was starting my Ford 289 one morning just to warm her up. I lowered the boat into the water but the exhaust was not completley covered. Pretty loud running like this so I was walking to the controls to lower the boat a little more when I saw two friends fishing. Both are from Baton Rouge! So anyway, this little 289 which is way over "Stock" is runing at about 1500 rpm's and sounds like two Harleys trying to make love to a Mercury Outboard when one of the guy's catches about a 4 lb Bass under the pier about 10 feet from the boat! They caught 3 fish in about so many minutes. I have a place on Lake Bruin north of Baton Rouge. Learned to ski on the Tchefuncte River.

	We are on a private lake in E. Texas, all this talk of beverages and food is driving me crazy, mudbugs this weekend! Get involved in your association is the best advise I can give but it sounds like you have it worked out. Good luck!

	64 Skier- I do know where "your" lake is, but I've never visited. I learned how to ski on False River... I'm sure you know where that is, in New Roads, La. It wasn't quite as crowded then as it is now. I haven't heard a word from anyone on the board since my last (very nice) conversation. I'm still waiting to get my letter from AWSA, then I'll be back at the battle. No fruity umbrella drinks, cold beers or slaloms this weekend-- baby showers and graduations. Is it 5:00 yet??? Take a round on a ski for me!
