So. ILL RIDE at the cabin Sept. 15-17th

[Speedfreak]

Another ride is being planned at the Talley Cabin in Southern ILL. For anyone that wants to come and ride your welcome. Here is a link to the first ride which has plenty of details. Cabin ride (http://www.x-h2o.com/showthread.php?t=5662)

I got clearance on the cabin ride. Ya'all Just pick the date. I have heard the 15-17th or the weekend of the 22-24th The 11th is The little mans birthday so that weekend is booked. But any other is ok as long as I know when...LOL I guess I would know...

You guys tell me when you want to come down. I just need a few days notice so that I can ask off work. We are starting to winterise some things at the cabin but it will be open for our enjoyment untill I am done with it. So when ever. If you have any question or need any info PM me.

[Mark44]

At our little party over the weekend we have the entire trip planned. We were thinking the 15th through 17th would be a good weekend. What do you think?

[Speedfreak]

UMMM... "we" who...

Yea that weekend it fine.. Just getting everyone there is the big problem now... I will edit the first post to include the date.

[WET BOX]

So I will post this question again... Do you guys want me to cook dinner one night or breakfast one day.

Heck Ron wanted to cook breakfast for everyone last time on saturday so I can have him cook this time for sure. He loves to cook.

I need a count to make sure whos comming so we know how much food to get.
Richard won't be there he is heading up north to visit the grandkids.

I guess it will be
Mark
Katie
Louie
J.R.
Wetbox
Terry--- which has reservations in the studio pantry
Brian
Richard (thongbonger)
Spork
Kevin (jetskiharp)
Bricen (Kevins son)
Carl
Brad and the *3D*
Yo-Yo
Daughter Lindsey

I just don't know about
Rob, Bob
?? I can't remember that guys name but he was at Kincaid

And who else am I forgetting?

[spork]

Ok i'm not positive, but i think i'm in. Labor day weekend i broke the shaft to my carb butterfly so assuming i can get parts by then i'm in!:banghead:

[WET BOX]

Ordered crank today......... 1-7 days until ship. F#CK.

Unless they ship it quick, I'm screwed.:banghead:

Not sure if I can stomach another trip w/o my ski.

P.S. Bars look great katie. thanks

[XFT LOU]

I hand turn the spare engine which is sitting on the work bench ww/ new pistons, wondering when I can use it this year, and at last I broke something! -not the engine the dry pipe- the only thing still under warranty! The weld split by the frt. coupler and filled the ski w/ water. Thanks to yo yo we removed the pipe on the boat ramp Tue. in record time. Mybe I should put the crank in the 550 and let katie ride it so she can see what she passed over in her learning curve! Thats 2 weeks on shipping and benchtime at ffP.

[XFT LOU]

Her is a spy photo confused & deprived "wet box" attempting a jet- ski fix. Poor Guy!

[WET BOX]

Crank will be delivered on tuesday!

Anyone wanna help wih the install?

I might have a ski for this trip!:Banane01:

[Yah-ki]

He looks a bit addled on the water-sofa. "Where are the footholds? How the heck am I gonna barrelroll?" Hey Lou, did you hear him yell "weeeeeeeeeeee" when he hit the throttle? Just kidding, John ole buddy.:haha: JR, I'm not really sure I'll make this cabin trip. Brian and Carl were discussing it and they may come down Saturday just to hang. Carl was asking about the fishing. Hold my pantry reservation for another day or so, Ill get back to ya! -T

[spork]

Ok just bought a 38mm carb and intake for da ski so assuming it ships properly and nothing else goes wrong i'm in.:Banane01:

[Speedfreak]

There is no reason to just come down to "hang" they might as well bring the skis and just make it a day trip. And YOU have open reservations so you are always welcome. The fishing on the lake is great. If the bluegill are biting it is one of the best lakes in southern Ill. If your into the catch and release then what a great time they will keep you busy. And call them and let them know that there is a boat that they can use to fish from heck that would make Ron happy to have a fishing buddy he knows the spots.

[Mark44]

I vote for dinner again! Call me at home I have been out of town

Mark44

[thongbonger]

looks like I will make the Lake on Sat.Anita and my grandkids are going to come out for a while .Hope to see all there.Terry can bring the [KFC] for WetBox to ride:woot: Just kidding.Have idea for T-shirt design.Will bring to the cabin Sat.

[Mark44]

John call me I'll help you with the crank install. Plus its been awhile since I have heard your sensuous voice. Please call me!!!


Mark44

P.S. Pressure test and gaskets.....

Katie

[Mark44]

Oh yea, look out wet box Katie has been giving the stabs a few dry runs out in the drive way. She now has her holds and pole shortened to aid in her pursuit of showing us all up. :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:

Mark44 Brap!

[Yah-ki]

OK JR, it's on! Expect to see me sometime Friday afternoon.(providing that you are going Fri.) I haven't spoken with Carl yet this week, but I know Brian won't be there. His nephews' birthday party is Sat. His brother has twin boys and he just bought them quads for their B.D. I also vote for dinner again(we can help, just let me know what I can do), those big breakfasts make me lazy. ummm, lazy-ER. -T

Glad you decided to come! It wouldn't be the same without you in the pantry.

I vote for dinner as well.

It sounds like we will have a great turnout. I updated the head count on the first page.

As before I am taking off work friday so I will be there by noon if anybody has problems finding the place they can call I will give directions. My cell # for thoes who don't have it 618-559-1074.

Looks I will get some burgers and buns and Terry if you want to cook brats I would most certinaly eat 1 or 3. I can have Angel or someone bring out some hot salami on saturday for lunch also anybody in for that ... MARK???

[WET BOX]

Crank has arrived!

That sounds kind of funny.:Banane01:

[Speedfreak]

Crank has arrived!

Do you think this might be a good time to install the 2nd bilge pump since you have that motor out? If you went ot walmart and got 2 1100 GPH attwood pumps and a couple fittings from Westmarine and a cheap $5 water proof switch. Then you coulde turn thoes things so you know that they are woeking instead of that automatic thingy and then you might not have to buy another $300 crank....

O and what about some hood modifications so that there is no water inlet on the front of the hood? That might help with the water problem you seem to have.

Either way I am glad you will be able to make it with a running ski:woot:

[jetskiharp]

hey jr , i talked with brad and i think we will have his 96 xp out there to test drive ( it's for sale ) and i think he is bringing the 3d
as well .

[Speedfreak]

That will be great. I will add 2 more skis to the list. And I am glad to see you over here at the "X". Everyone ends up over here sooner or later since pwctoday is banning everybody.

Katie and I will be heading to the cabin on Friday night after work with John. :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:
If there is a 3d there I know John can stab the heck out of it. He is a great student. :Banane09: :Banane09:

Keeping the Brap Alive!
Mark44

PS:
No hot salami for Katie either or she will have to sleep on the couch.:sleeping:

[Yah-ki]

JR, I would be happy to whip up a batch of brats. I will get everything I need so you only have to worry about burgers. I'll bring brats, buns, and all the fixxens I need. Hot salami lunch sounds great to me, also. It looks as if Carl will be following me there, too. Look for us Fri. afternoon. -T

[Speedfreak]

WOW it looks like 13 people so far and a couple extra skis so the beach will be loaded. This is going to be great. And the best part the photographers will be there (Mark and Lou)

[Mark44]

Mark44

[yoyo]

Lindsey and I are going to try to show and I just talked to lou and he might be there Sat. Lori has to work, and that means somebody has to play!!! :woot:
WHAT ! Yes Dear, hey I got to go. yoyo

[XFT LOU]

I'm passing up OT at work Sat. Then driving to Jeff. city, by the way katie thats closer than GA. to purchase a blk. stand-up ski ( my computor key pad cannot type the letters a & m... after the letter "'Y". So I'll get to the cabin around 3pm. Thats if the dog can come since the sitter is away.

[Speedfreak]

There is another dog that runs around there her name is Red she is a super nice golden ret. she won't bother anything or anyone. Well she is a klepto so watch where you lay your gloves and shoes they might wind up missing....LOL

Anyhow all is good bring Rusty if you want....and that (Y)amaha

See everybody will convert eventually... *fingers pointing to Wetbox*

[WET BOX]

I smell 2 stroke exhaust............and it is mine!:Banane01:


IMHO...I would do a lightweight hull (blowsion) before I go Superjet. SJs are nice though.

[Mark44]

Wet box doesn't know that he will be switching to an SJ next year when I buy his SXR off him for Dalton and Dallas so they can race next year. There is a 10 year old class and Dalt man in hyped to race. John leave that ski stock so I don't have to put it back for stock class and start treating it a little nicer for me please!

We will be at the cabin tonight around 8:00 ish.
WooHoo Great glad to hear YoYo or is it ChoCho will make it. Time for a schooling to get him inverted John does it.
