I picked up the boat from it's first 20 hr & annual service.
We took advantage of the BIG discount off-season service cost the dealer offers.
Tige' of Corona has an excellent Fiberglass shop and they fixed our few gell coat boo boos,, -for free. They work on all makes BTW.
We had hit a dock that broke loose one nite and was floating down the center of the river near the Roadrunner. The damage was bigger than we thought.
On top all that, they installed some nice, expensive wakeboard rack jewelry for us free too.
Then,, on top of that,, my wakeboard rope was due for replacement, and a good, non-stretch wakeboard (not ski) rope is about $120. They took care of the rope too.
It was all good! They detailed the boat, it was so shiny, it talked to ya.
--------------- -------------------- -------------------
So then it was off to the river to put the boat into our closed storage for the winter.
Friend Craig and his GF decided at the very last second they wanted to go too.
Craigs GF Kathy is 32, slender and easy to look at.
A kind hearted, sweetheart of a girl without an enemy in the world.
Kathy is a good example of "it's not how much money you make, but how much money you keep."
She's invested her meager office paychecks well, and is in good financial shape for a girl that's never earned very much.
A very low maintenance GF for Craig. She drives late model, trouble free Hondas, and never asks for help for anything.
We took her on a wakeboard run and she fell, lost her board, but hung on to the rope and wouldn't let go.
Craig estimates she submerged several feet feet underwater,, and we drug her no more than 100 ft,, underwater,, before he yelled for me to stop.
I've never seen that,, nor done that.
It was funny really,, she was OK a beer and a cigarette later.
------------- ------------------- ------------------- ------------
We wiped the boat down, put it away in storage for six months.
We drove over to stop off at the Del Rio Bar n Grill, but Anthony has shut it down early for the season.
He'll open for a few special events, but weekends don't re-appear on the callendar until late next April. So we headed to the Blue Water Casino instead.
--------------- ---------------- ----------------- ----------
Craig and Kathy brought coffee cans full of quarters to gamble in the casino.
I told them you'll have to go to the Casino cage and get a count and paper money because casinos haven't used quarters in 10 years.
They had no clue what I was talking about.
Yeah, it's been that long since they've been out.
The concensus among other gamblers we talked to was that the Bluewater has really tightend up the chances of winning,, and many Casino employees also told us it's changed.
Chance of a big win or a Royal Flush is a lot harder now, the odds of winning on the machines has been re-set much tougher, and we felt it.
The pool is closed for a major renovation.
The Buffet quality has dropped to an all time new low, so we took advantage of the 2 for $1.50 tacos near the poker room.
One employee told us the buffett quality has dropped to keep the tribal members from coming in and using it.
That's ridiculous.
Several very attractive 22 year old girls from Simi came up and talked to us.
They saw Craigs Electrical Connection Simi T-shirt.
They were trying to get a wakeboard boat hook up for Sunday, but it's all mothballed for the winter.
We bought them a round at the bar though.
Lost my ass at Blackjack,, so we called it a nite and then came home.
Fun weekend at Parker.
