Budmans Breakfast Run

[BUDMAN]

Usually post this earlier, just been slammed at work and really to tired at the end of the day to post anything. Anyways same as years past the first Saturday morning of December I plan an informal breakfast run to the springs. If anyone wants to join in we meet at the Thompson Bay bouy line at 10AM then cruise to the springs for breakfast. If you are to afraid of the cold boat ride some will show up by car. Either way it’s a good meet & greet or to meet up with current friends.

We should be in town. I will let the wife to know. Maybe this will be my first launch/retrieve if it is too cold for the better half. LOL

Do IT!!!!

by the way, I believe the day after is the Toys For Tots motorcycle run from Parker to Havasu. McCulloch will be closed off for the motorcycles. I will be making the ride and bar hopping after in town If anyone is still in town.

 

[240Hallett]

Sounds like a plan. You can’t drink all day if you don’t start at breakfast!

 

[28Eliminator]

We’re in!! As in years past, I’m sure the wife will be down below in the cabin while I’m trying to keep from getting frostbite

I think there needs to be a 10am temperature threshold of at least 55 degrees

Hope so

If it is too cold….meaning under 75….it might be my first solo launch. Everyone keep an eye at theSpings and give me a hand docking if possible.

K, thanks, bye!!!!

You riding with others or solo? I am solo at this point.

 

[calkid]

If my friend is back in town he would probably ride too. The wife's usually pass on these kind of rides, they're more into riding to Seligman for a breakfast ride.

 

[warpt71]

Work overtime or put the boat in the water and burn some gas???? Hummmmmmm

 

[BUDMAN]

TTT

 

[BUDMAN]

Who’s going to be brave enough to take the boat versus drive down?

 

[HallettBill]

I’ll be driving, the Mrs will be much happier. Which makes me much happier.

I'll be your boat bitch. Angie will still be in Montana.

The temperature is making me lean towards driving the car

It would be great to have you join us Jeff if Gen is there or not. I am not sure on the time but it will be fun no matter how early or how cold…RIGHT?!?!?!?! You gotta do it once or maybe annually. LOL. Let’s plan on it.

All the girls are doing that these days…….

Not you too Bill!?!?!?!?

 

[DWC]

Walk outside about now. It’ll be about the same temp for the run.
I’d say I’ll leave it up to Steph but she’s tougher than i am.

PS. At least it’s not gonna be raining

If the sun is out and the wind isnt blowing Ill have no issue launching. And I dont have anyone going with me to bitch about the air temp.

Lol, I don't deny that I'm a lesbian trapped in a sexy mans body

Ding-ding.
Winnah!!
I think all your wives noticed Jans teeth weren't chattering in the restaurant the past few years

That is right you all were talking about how you hate the cold. Steph can come join @Sportin' Wood & myself. You and Gen can drive down to meet up with us

LOL Should I have Gen join the ladies in the cars? She said she would join me in the boat. Now I am thinking twice about it.

 

[MK1MOD0]

Geez!!!!!!! You guys are cracking me up. It’s supposed to be in the high 60’s on Saturday with a lite breeze. The way some are talking, you’d think it was January, 10 degrees in Kodiak, with a high surf advisory. Lol.

 

[She's Mine]

I am hoping to make it this year. If I do I'll be down for the boat ride to the Springs. Funny thing is, you're the same cold at 50mph and 90mph just cold for less time. lol

Im a fair weather boater… and the older I get, the fairer it needs to be

Oh, and BTW

 

[Racer56]

My wife and I should be able to make it.

 

[OldSchoolBoats]

The cold doesn't bother me, but wife and kids.....that's another story. The mid cabin sure came in handy this past weekend. Best thing ever!!

I hear you on the cold. I do find that as I age I am not able to handle it as much as when I was young. I do have to say though that I am hell bent on doing a few things before I am REALLY old and can’t do it.

You making it this weekend?

 

[OldSchoolBoats]

You making it this weekend?

Unfortunately no, that's why we came out for Thanksgiving. Got travel baseball, Christmas party on Saturday and the 5 year old got invited to his first birthday party.

 

[BUDMAN]

This past weekend really wasn’t to bad. I little chilly but it made me feel alive.

 

[MK1MOD0]

We were out on Saturday. It was beautiful out. Perfect for just floating down river.

 

[HNL2LHC]

Was just talking about it today. It was chilly while underway but at the beach it was incredible. Not sure if I noted it before but had an issue the day we went out last week. The sea strainer was letting water in. Got the boat back today so now I need to get ont eh water the next couple of days for testing and then Saturday….

 

[HNL2LHC]

Welp went out this afternoon to double check the water leak issue that turned out to be the sea strainer. After a couple of hours on the smooth water and taking the wife up to 75mph without any complaints looks like all it good and we are ready for Saturday. There is talk that Jeff @Sportin' Wood will be joining us that morning on our boat. Looking forward to seeing everyone bright early on the water. I was in shorts, t-shirt and flip flops today but thinking that I might put on something a little warmer at 10am. LOL
