I remember that one time we launch at Hamm Creek , it was cool .. It was you in your Yellow V-Drive , Paul in his Blown Hydro  and Me and My Dad in my Cole .. It was cool coming out  of that little creek .. I will try and make it .. Not sure yet if i will be able to make it or not .. Thanks for the offer to pull me , but I want to be under my own power if all possible .. Not sure i want to go that far on the first test run on the new engine ..

It looks like I'm out.
I had a minor medical procedure done and getting in river water is not recommended for a short time.
It was scheduled for after the 4th, but I could have gone to the Waco races.
Nothing goes as planned.
I'll be ready in a week or so.

No, the medical procedure was not brain surgery.

Went to the island Sat. Had a great time. Water was great. Put in at Chisholm. Ramp was good. They were working on Ham creek park. Lots of debris in park. Hopefully be open by this weekend. If not, we will put in at chisholm. 5 dollars for boat ramp. I know that alot of the Lavon crew have never been to the island, or up river from Plowman, but anyone who has never been there before, this is a special boating place for me and my family and has been for over 20 yrs. hope to see you there this weekend. look for a bassboat with a blue RUDE outboard. SEE YOU THERE.
