SJRR 2014

We were at the captain's party and had a chance to meet some more of the cc fans. It was great and i look forward to meeting more tomorrow. Maybe the wind will not be too bad and we can go on a booze cruise.

Highlights of today:

New CCFAN friends.

Notre Dame fan trying telling me how they were going to beat FSU.

Seeing my dad's big block ski nautique we bought new from factory 28 years ago still in great shape.

Wow what a ride in..... We just made it into Lady Lake and settling in. See some of guys tomorrow at the show and probably the camp grounds

Team CCF - Have a great time today!

Christine, Nick and I had a great time at the show yesterday meeting customers and future customers in person. I especially enjoyed talking to Mr. Ralph whom I hadn't talk to for over 10 years. I ask him if he remembered my Grandpa and he said "Of course I remember your Grandpa, Jeptha Larue Sunday. He and my Dad were partners when they started the boat company but your Grandpa decided he would rather have a paycheck every week rather than be an owner so my Dad bought him out but he kept working for the company until he retired.". Mr. Ralph went on to tell me a story that I had forgotten being told by my Mom about how Grandpa got his hand a little too close to the saw blade and it flung a couple of his fingers across Orange Ave. at the old factory! Since my Granpa passed before I was born, it was great talking to someone that knew him besides family. Thanks Mr. Ralph!

Life can take some ironic twist. My wife and I and our son make a living working with boats made by a company that my Grandpa was part of starting! We started an upholstery business 38 years ago with no conscious intentions of it morphing into a business specializing in Correct Craft boats. God works in mysterious ways!

I will see everyone this evening at Parramore's when I give out money!

Zach,
You need to make plans to join us next year!

Thanks Zach.    I often think how if my Grandpa had not decided to be bought out, I might have been sitting around with Mr. Ralph telling C.C. stories.

Those of you still at the show site. How much longer do you plan to be there? I would like to ride back over and visit with y'all.

Thanks to all for the ride this morning. So sad to see everything so rain soaked. We plan to head back for the get together tonight at the camp ground around 7pm. Finally, the rain has stopped!

See you soon!

Just threw up my eggs from Buck & Kats.   Thx Bobby....

When you can foot like Jesus, you can dress like Jesus. It is Sunday, and he is at his church. Leave him alone! He does practically walk on water. (My son said to add that)

Hey Bret, you asked if there were new pics posted. To that the answer was yes, you didn't ask if there were good pics. It's Sunday everyone should start their day with a little Jesus.

I agree! The weird thing is the picture has a strong resemblance to HW!!!

Saw this guy today on the river. He didn't want to ski with us tho
