Gotta make sure you stretch and drink lots of water before undergoing that hike, or you could cramp up midway and then your screwed.

Did one of the Herbst's have the place next to you?

 

[River Lynchmob]

No they had our place. Tim set the trailer and had it for a year and then sold it. Tim bought John Kaisers place in the Keys and Ed is building his place on the lot my dad used to own which is next door to the Peters place.

Most of the time it is...but it seems the "targets" keep getting younger and younger. Pretty soon I am going to have to dye my hair and get a bunch of tats to fit in over there

I thought the 30s were the new 20s...if so that makes me 26? If that's true then when did 26 become old?

That's just a bunch of bullshit they tell people in their mid 30's to make them feel better about their receding hairlines..

Nobody bothered to tell me, becuasea my hairline retreated many years ago.. LOL

Nice Dave keep them comming.

Our family used to lease the two properties where your house is now - perfect location. I'll get you some photos of the POS house we used to have there, if you're interested. I have one looking off the dock on a Friday in September 1980ish, where the water is glass - you never see that anymore.

That would be great. You are right about not seeing glass anymore. About the only time you will see that is if it's a Friday in Jan.

I remember the onl house was there before Tim knocked it down and put in the trailer. I'm sure there were lots of good times had there back then. I know there have been a ton of good times since then

Subject: Ode to the Over 30 Crowd


THE SPOILED UNDER-30 CROWD!!!

If you are 30 or older you will think this is hilarious!!!!

When I was a kid, adults used to bore me to tears with their tedious
diatribes about how hard things were when they were growing up; what
with walking twenty-five miles to school every morning ... uphill BOTH
ways.

yadda, yadda, yadda

And I remember promising myself that when I grew up, there was no way in
hell I was going to lay a bunch of crap like that on kids about how hard
I had it and how easy they've got it! But now that... I'm over the ripe
old age of thirty, I can't help but look around and notice the youth of
today.

You've got it so easy! I mean, compared to my childhood, you live in a
damn Utopia! And I hate to say it but you kids today you don't know how
good you've got it!

I mean, when I was a kid we didn't have The Internet. If we wanted to
know something, we had to go to the damn library and look it up
ourselves, in the card catalog!! There was no email!! We had to actually
write somebody a letter, with a pen! Then you had to walk all the way
across the street and put it in the mailbox and it would take like a
week to get there!

There were no MP3's or Napsters! You wanted to steal music, you had to
hitchhike to the damn record store and shoplift it yourself! Or you had
to wait around all day to tape it off the radio and the DJ's usually
talk over the beginning and @#*% it all up!

We didn't have fancy crap like Call Waiting! If you were on the phone
and somebody else called they got a busy signal, that's it!

And we didn't have fancy Caller ID Boxes either! When the phone rang,
you had no idea who it was! It could be your school, your mom, your
boss, your bookie, your drug dealer, a collections agent, you just
didn't know!!! You had to pick it up and take your chances, mister!

We didn't have any fancy Sony Playstation video games with
high-resolution 3-D graphics! We had the Atari 2600! With games like
'Space Invaders' and 'asteroids'. Your guy was a little square! You
actually had to use your imagination!! And there were no multiple levels
or screens, it was just one screen forever! And you could never win. The
game just kept getting harder and harder and faster and faster until you
died! Just like LIFE!

When you went to the movie theater there no such thing as stadium
seating! All the seats were the same height! If a tall guy or some old
broad with a hat sat in front of you and you couldn't see, you were just
screwed!

Sure, we had cable television, but back then that was only like 15
channels and there was no on screen menu and no remote control! You had
to use a little book called a TV Guide to find out what was on! You were
screwed when it came to channel surfing! You had to get off your ass and
walk over to the TV to change the channel and there was no Cartoon
Network either! You could only get cartoons on Saturday Morning. Do you
hear what I'm saying!?! We had to wait ALL WEEK for cartoons, you
spoiled little rat-bastards!

And we didn't have microwaves, if we wanted to heat something up we had
to use the stove or go build a frigging fire imagine that! If we wanted
popcorn, we had to use that stupid Jiffy Pop thing and shake it over the
stove forever like an idiot.

That's exactly what I'm talking about! You kids today have got it too
easy.

You're spoiled. You guys wouldn't have lasted five minutes back in 1980!

Regards,
The over 30 Crowd

Are you going to be at the river for the 4th?

I don't know if you know Robo (Darren Stewart) he observed for Mitch Galvan two years ago and got 3rd overall. He's a great big fucker like 6'6" 270. Anyways I could try and condition my liver for the next 3 years and I wouldn't be able to keep up.

 

[RiverDave]

So here's the question of the day.. Is there some ski racing site or something that alot of these guys hang out at? I got some pretty decent shots of the various boats, and would like to e-mail them to the teams so they can have them.

Its amazing what tings cost down there. After all that shipping and duty on everything.

Robo is just finishing up his new superclass boat. It's a cyclone with a Malcom Priest EFI turbo motor to a 5 drive and he's into his over 200 already.

The new Nordic/ Cyclone, I heard was around 45K, for a bare hull. Rig it and put a 1075 / 6 drive to it and you are looking at 200K. Just CRAZY!

I wasn't there for all the races, so they might not have ran in the races I watched? I thought I got just about everybody running in the races we watched?
