All us "Fatties" are still at the donut shop. ;)

The Animals of the Annex are most likely still sleeping after a rough night of drinking.

I've got my money on homeblown. He's coming to boat first, drink later. :D

[emoji1303] I’ll be there tomorrow afternoon/evening. Get it wet on Monday.

Incredible water. Skiing on glass like that it almost feels like your ski is getting sucked in.

... Light it off at 6 am which prompted Durst to call the Sheriff each morning. After several 100 dollar tickets and the threat of impound...

Haven't met Durst yet but have heard many stories about him.

Lots of people running shit. Never know who might show up.

I hope that your not driving from HI to Parker to see this shit show. :D

Lol, the freeway is still under construction so I am not going to drive. I am flying to the mainland and then driving somewhere.

Because of my schedule I have a few days with nothing to do. So.....I might just buy a folding chair at Walmart and find a spot on the side of the river to work and watch the show. If one day is better than another I will give that a shot.

Where would you be coming from and when would you arrive? I'm sure that Homeblown would have a place for you to sit in the shade and watch the show. :)

Not sure yet. Plans got messed up a bit still working out the final details. I have to fly back to Vegas with MIL and drive her to Kingman on Tuesday. After that who knows. I have to be in Corona on Sunday evening. What is happening the middle of Wednesday morning and Sunday night is up in the air. I have a friend’s house in Havasu and possibly another available in Parker that I could stay at. I do have to work but I can do it remotely from the river if needed. LOL.

Will he be out for DS week? I found a bunch of old pics of him and Brian I need to get to him. Right there on the MV docks.

When is desert storm? He said that he'll be back in the beginning of May and no mention of desert storm.

That's how I would feel some mornings at least until I had my V-8. :D
