Can someone coming Thursday or Friday morning please bring a good timing light I can use? Mine took a $hit on me.

If you come into town at all this week swing by, I'll let you borrow mine. Just not today. I'm home with a hangover. Actually, my timing light is here at the house too.

Weather still shows to be almost perfect next weekend. High 86 low 59 and 4-10 mph winds out of the south. As long as the wind don't come out of the north or straight out of the east or west  we are good to go in front of the beach. I can't wait!

I'm bringing a timing light, air compressor, tools, Grill (for cooking), 5 gallons of 112 racing fuel (for sale), Patch's heads (I need to return) and a bunch of Beer.  I'll post on Parts for sale a bunch of parts I have and if anyone is interested, I'll bring them so they can look them over and save shipping cost.

Thank for the invite to bowl a roma...  just kidding I couldn't have came anyways doughters birthday.  4 more days and its ON.  I put a new droop and ride plate and diverter with FTL so I guess we will see how its going to work out Thursday when I go out to mark the sand bar.  Made the pole to day its 1" pvc with bright orange on it.  Hopefully some azz won't pull it up.  Either going to go get me some av gas or run up to my brothers shop and get me some 116 fuel not sure which yet.  It should help my boat get from 45mph to maybe 50mph.  Corner in our house looks like we willl be gone for months lol with all the camping gear packed up ready to load.  Forgot to meantion this but if for some reason someone has to pull a motor there is a huge tree to do it with  Let's hope no one has to go threw that but just incase I did find one.    I'm sure someone will but when I get back from my doughters  game sat mid morning. Will someone plz tell me what was said in the drivers meeting @ 9am sat morning thxs.      One more thing hammer down said over on pb that they are bringing there marker bouy's but they had to cut the lines cause the anchers where buried up in mud.  So if u have extra anchers u might bring them or if everyone thinks senderblocks will hold the with mule rope.  My DaD said he would love to get those out of his back yard and let us have them and he would bring them out Friday when he comes. Just let me know u can call or text me either way if needed.    Also the peir that u can kinda see the end of it in one pic that will be a GREAT place to take some good pics as well.  For sure have to try to get a group shot with all the boats on the beach that would be sweet to do. I will go have one blown up and give it to 429 marina and let them hang it in the store.  Just for letting all of us hold an event there.  When we were out there sat a few guys came down to ck out the boats and shoot the chit with us from the park.  Some of them live there couple other second weekend hm.  But they are all super stoked and said the can't wait as well.  They will fit right in 5min after meeting them they talking chit in a joking way about me not letting my wife drive the boat lol lol.    See y'all in a few days.

People were asking if anyone called you. I told them I had talked to you earlier and I knew you had a party for your kiddo.  I would think cinder blocks would be fine.  It's good to hear the residents are excited too.  It really sounds like all involved, authorities included, are glad to have us.  clap.gif clap.gif for all the work being done.  You guys have my number.  Call if you need anything.

Someone asked earlier and now I can't find it.  According to the news last night the Tawakoni area got a total of about .13" of rain for the whole weekend.  Yes that is a point in front of the "1".  Less than 50 miles West they had totals of 6 to 8 inches.

Iow water just makes for a bigger beach area to watch and party on. We just may have to help each other launch boats so we can get the trucks and trailers back to camp. I may just leave mine in all weekend.
