For me, this is perhaps best statement I could ever read. Knowing what kind of boating experiences Reid has had, to have him say this about Green Lake just gives me a huge sense of pride. I would guess even more so for Alan and Dave who did all the work for Green Lake. The weekend was amazing. My greatest accomplishment with this site has been to bring good people together who are now life-long friends. To think that two days in Green Lake isn’t enough and many of you where there Wed-Sun, some traveling over 1,000 miles to be there, it just blows my mind. There is much more to say about the weekend but most of all I want to say thank you. Thank you to Alan and Dave, with out them Green Lake wouldn't exist. And thank you to all who came this year and last year, making it such an amazing event. We’ll be collecting all the photos through an FTP upload and then distributing them to everyone via the site and, if there is enough interest, a 2008 printed calendar. In the mean time, please keep posting photos for all to see. -Keith |

Did anyone find out which gas girl has the blackbelt? I asked the cutie above and she just laughed and said that's what her boyfriends for. Think Mojo was messing with us to keep us on good behavior or what?

Reid, you need to get a bikini shot of the gas pump girl for the calendar when you go back to pick up the boat. Afterall, without her none of us would have been able to make it out to the sandbar. Dave, Alan, and Keith did a spectacular job, but let's not forget to give her some credit too...

I enjoyed it as well. Well Chris I must have missed your post. For awhile I thought that maybe you were spending some time in the GL jail! Glad to here that you made it home. |

That was the coolest site watching you guys coming in hot through the sand bar. Jame's BFN was absolutely roaring around the corner. I recall Hollywood as the last man standing. That was pure entertainment.

It would have been more impressive if it pulled us out of the water without resorting to combos It sure had a nice table though! Quinner and HW each rode it out once. Watching Chris fight those 3' rollers at 40 mph on a kneeboard was good entertainment! |

Actually that was a direct quote from a few weekends ago when Feelgood, Johnny, Hollywood and I where out on my lake skiing and this clown (no kids) showed up pulling a tube around behind his Babe Winkleman Special, we chased him right out of there. We are saving the whole jail thing for when we all head down to visit Reid, always wanted to taste Aunt Bee's cooking!! PS: spell check, hear not here!! |

I ate stuff both times Tim. Queener went the longest on the first run, and didn't get off his training wheels on the second. It's not his fault however, we were out of skis.
In this pic you can clearly see Johnny is on his barefeet while Tim and I are ready to step. I don't know how, but Quinner pulled it off. |

reidp pretending he needs gas [/QUOTE] I convinced the lovely Courtney there that this old boat only had a 3 gallon fuel tank, so she wouldn't wonder why I kept coming back so often to refuel. |

Well anytime you guys want to stop by the house will throw the old BFN in the water, 4 man deep up no problems for sure.
If I recall it had you guys out of the water the lake was just a little to rough for you to stay up. Don't get me worng she does still leave a little bit to be desired coming out of the hole. But I plan on fixing that very soon. I give you guys a big hand for making it up footing in that rough chop. |

Thought that comment might get a rise out of you
Seriously, thats a lot of boat to get out of the water. Ive seen the same thing before with an '89 on our lake trying to pull up a lot of skiers. I sure glad I wasnt standing inside my wake in that chop- that table is sweet. Thanks for the pull! |

Tim, He's actually my sister-in-laws fiance. Just easier to say brother-in-law!!!! Anyway I told him about this thing months ago and to put it on their calendar. They know people that live on GL so they figured they would come up for the day. He called as soon as he was loaded and on their way back home and just raved about all you guys!!! I specifically told him he needed to see your boat with the stuff you've done to it. He said he met MM and Blondie, Reid, and he could'nt even remember everyone. Both him and my sister-in-law just couldn't stop taking about "Allyaall". I was really glad to hear that they got to hook up with you guys. I knew that they would have a blast. He's even talking about getting on the forum and planning for next year too!!!! |

When people run down to the lake to see what's making that noise, you've succeeded.

Tim, yeah it got a rise out of me. I was glad to see you guys get up. I really would like to have tried a four man deep up pull but the water just would not let us. Maybe next year.
I would have liked to see your boat run one time but was never around when you driving it. |
