I won't be able to make it. We're doing inventory where I work this weekend.

Yuck - I hope you're hourly and not salaried.

I can't make it either, other plans, sorry.

I just wanted to give you a guys a heads up, that it looks like there will be an all tunnel boat race coming later this year to the brandon site. I believe its going to be in late october, but I am waiting for the official date. I know several of you have spec tunnels, and it sounds like there will be p, q, and possibly an open class for those that are interested. As I get more info I will let you guys know.

I picked up a couple of bungies and corks to fix the offshore buoy. i think I can snag a block too. We need the orange noodle, and could use some large zip ties for them too.

[bill34207]

Sorry to hear that Ray. Maybe next time.

Good one Ron. I liked that one.

Brian, I have the stray noodle in the back of my van and have some long zip ties that I'll try to remember to bring.

I'm not really coming out to race Sunday, just to do some testing. Prepping the Falcon cat, the Cheetah, MM twin (thinking about doing a couple of 5s saws with it) and probably the Arapaho to try a bigger prop on.

Sucks about the tire Scott. I had a rear blow apart on my car not log ago. I was kinda at fault there though. Hah

Ray, congrats on finding new employment! I hope it's a good one. I know they were really dorking you over at your previous job!

Weather is actually looking pretty good for tomorrow. Rain chances are dropping and the wind pattern is supposed to be decent as well with light from the east early in the morning then coming up to around 11 mph from the south as the day goes on.
If we had a couple of solid days rain like it did at my house Thursday morning and yesterday evening I'd be able to do testing in the street in front of my place. Hope it brought the lake up a couple of inches.

I drove by Thursday afternoon and the water had come up considerably - no more beach!
