THANKS IN ADVANCE.

Well huntins done ,Now it's time to see if .southern style will fire off and run. If she does I'm goin to hook up with hogskinner this sunday and ease up juniper to attend services at the church of the everflowing waters( Juniper run and hwy 19) ,soak my tired feet in the healing waters and refresh myself with a few mickultras. All welcome to attend
 
Stan,

You surely make the "run" sound even more inviting than it already is. We will be at the FAA meeting, miles from J. Run--but I for one, will surely be thinking about what I'm missing where you, Cheryl and Country(????) are! :lol:
 
10-4 woodswoman!
Well I got the bearings greased (wasn't much to it acculube axles)and got the boat fired up.I had to wiggle the distributer hot wire to break some corrosion loose hadn't cranked the boat since mood and laura's wedding.
Got a call from RoHo and after talking he agreed to weigh my boat.So off to scramble Town the wife and I went. the results were pretty close to what I expected maybe a little lighter.

Empty boat on trailer with 10 gallons of fuel on board 3371 pounds
less trailer weight 562

Boat weight 2811 pounds

Throw in another 30 gallons of fuel me ,the wife ,the dog ,cooler full of beer,grill ,propane tank,the kichen sink and just maybe a couple of riders.Forgot to mention the boat leaks also
I figure loaded the ole boat should check in better then 4000 lbs reeady for the run and Lake Goeoge tomorrow. I have estimated my horses to be 400 maybe a little more.That would give me what horses to weight ratio of 10:1 and usualy it don't run the hill to bad ifin it ain't full of water.
 
well here it is.while loadin the boat up I stop on top of the porch steps and slide out of my flipflops landing on the next step with my big toe folded up underneath my foot talk about hurt.Neadless to say my thoughts left what i was supposed to do and went to soakin my toe in the run.
Met up with hogskinner at O'Brians restaruant for breafast .and upon returning to my truck I had remembered that I had forgot to air up a low tire on the boat trailer .yea tire was ruint .With no spare ,hogskinner offered me his but I had to declined ,we Jacked it up and removed the buggered up tire and rim and went on I just love tandem torsion axles.By this time I was wondering what else my sore toe made me forget.Boat Plug,garbage bag,
With all the bad luck I was ready for some good Hogskinner and I put in at Blue Creek ramp in the rain and proceeded to the bridge were we were joined by Bubba Cindy,Merl and Susie, and chris drove up in his toytoa to the bridge.after for hours of beer ,barbque and stand in the cool clear water my toe was feeling much better .It was feeling good enough to make a run to the pasture.So off we went.Upon arriving at the pasture hogskinner just had to show us how his old cadi dd could run the hill and it did.
While sittin on the pasture I thought back on how the day started out and how it was now ending and like always I caught myself wishing it not to end.

ps toes better goin to lose the nail though
