As far as our schedule goes (getting to IL), we're about as locked down as we can be at this point. Assume a (no later than) 6AM EST start from Joe's in NY, heading through Canada, Michigan and Maumee OH and our drive time is right about 12 hours. Add an hour or so of futzing on the boat we're picking up, subtract an hour for the time change, and that puts us at a 6pm arrival at Gary's. Add a little time to be conservative (nothing ever goes quite according to plan), figure we should be there no later than 630-7, assuming to major catastrophes. I'd like to do a tire change before we declare victory, but that should be the only thing standing between us and food/beer. I'll let Gary decide when/where we all meet up!

Canada? You're going to need a passport to get those boats. That's got to be a first.

Hey Quinner,
I may be going there directly from Wisconsin. Where will you need a ride from? LMK, I could probably route myself past your place since I will be southbound from up nort. |

I'll be there, and Gary if you provide the tools and Tim accepts my offer, we can get that bitch up in the air and I'll buzz his nuts off while we wait.

No doubt, I don't know what I was thinking (not that I had much choice...). Luckily I hear there are some nice lakes 45-60 min east of here and I am looking forward to figuring out the scene come spring. I should also be in the Chicago, W. MI area a few times from May-Sept at my "home lake" with my family. My brother just picked up a new ski and can barely contain himself.

Fargo, that's just west of Bunny's home town. Say hi to Marge Gunderson for me!

Don't worry Gary, with moves like this... I'm sure he'll find a "ride home". |

that sounds more like a reason to have a beer (or 10) than to not have one

no real plans, but probably early afternoon...leaving around 9am sounds a lot smarter than trying to arrive at 5pm.

Sorry for the thread jack but Yeah, it sucks getting old sometimes. Speedy recovery to both y'all. John I guess the elder Bear will out foot you with two new knees. Did he talk em' into a little extra cushion for the joints?
