Whatcha guys got? Here's mine.
Launched yesterday at 5:30pm from Windsor. Made a run around the island and was choppy so I just race boated it, which was a lot of fun and then bimini pin fell out. Ran out of gas at the same time. Thought it had more fuel. Take care of bimini and switch tanks. Stalling going into gear now. Get it going and just go to the channel. Find a spot and the guy next to us sees the same one, enough room for 2 boats... the lady's on his boat just start yelling at us and claiming it as theirs. I yell back there's enough room for both of us. Pull up and they are pissed. We wave for them to pull up and they do then start with the 180 attitude change and are ever so thankful, bitches. Met a fellow inmate while there. Pulled out about 8. There was a shouting match between 2 that held up the lanes for a few minutes. We made it back to the house without the boat falling off the trailer so I'd call it a successful outing. I suspect there is water in the carb from sucking the tank dry. Taking the Hallett out today. Light grey 290 with orange and purple accents. Come by and say hi.

Is this the first trip with the boat since you bought it?

The local PD were having a field day on 95. Dove down N to S, seen five active stops including a bozo with boat in tow on 95 stoped in the right lane between mulberry and contact point. Gotta love it.

The last time I was in Austin was 2015. Walking down 6th street had a San Francisco vibe to it. Definitely different that it was in the early 90's when we used to party there. The libs have taken over that place.

It's a really nice boat. Smooth riding and smooth power. Goes through the Havasu chop really nice. We were going 50 mph through it going to the springs. Most comfortable boat I've been on and you don't get annihilated by the wind.

Did something a little different for us. Checked into the Hollywood Roosevelt hotel Friday afternoon. We then headed to Dodger stadium for Green Day, Fall Out Boy, Weezer and the Interupters. The tickets were purchased almost two years ago but everything was postponed due to COVID. Asked my sister to order the tickets for me since I was taking my mom to the doctor. With my credit card she proceeds to order floor seats. She was very proud of herself. Great seats for a great show.

Saturday we saw the matinee showing of Hamilton. It’s not for everyone, but each of us thoroughly enjoyed it.

Spent some time at the pool afterwards then walked around Hollywood Boulevard a bit.

We left Columbus to head south (Florida)for the winter. Decided to stop at Buccees north of Atlanta. What a fuckin mistake. The offramp was backed up all the way onto to I75. Sat thru 3 lights and finally got to entrance. Every fuel pump was in use and parking lot was packed. Mind you we are ina 40ft moho towing a Jeep. I said no way are we doing this and pulled thru lot and got back on highway. Forgot what it’s like to travel on a holiday weekend

Austin is not claimed by Texas...I was up there Friday and the face diapers are still in full force.

I stayed around the house most of the weekend... Mowed the yard, smoked some chicken, bought shit the wife wanted to organize the house.. Went to see the Josh Abbott Band last night. The river (floating) was packed here.
