[ENCORE MAN]

It'a not looking too promising for sure.

Hey guys, you are welcome to come to my house (Encore, site 1052) to run on Sun if the water is too rough at Ackerman. LMK BG

That's a tempting thought BG. I'll probably wind up having to abandon hopes of running myself. (As my run of bad luck continues).
Two weekends ago my main computer crapped out so had to replace it and reload everything. (pretty much have that caught up now except for a couple of programs that won't work with Windows 7)
Last night when I ran the dishwasher it decided to start leaking when draining. (got to replace the hose on it) This morning I flushed the toilet except it didn't flush. The flapper valve has gotten so old that it pulled the ring out of it. So... grabbed a new one on the way home from work. Changed it out easy enough and now the tank valve has decided to start leaking at the bottom of the tank. I'll have to get one of those in the morning. My guess is that it's gasket has rotted away with age, too. I've wound up with so much stuff I need to do this weekend that I'm not going to have time for what I want to do.

I'll be at Ackerman Sunday to run my small mono and meet some fellow FE boaters.

[teddyboy]

Thanks Brian, i will be there. Any SV27 Action?

[bill34207]

It's currently showing 14 mph for tomorrow at around 10:00.
I got my toilet fixed but still haven't started charging any batts or anything. Somebody make the call and I'll try to be there if we're running. (actulally I'll have to be there since I have the rescue boats battery.)

[teddyboy]

Sounds like a no go for me, getting in a hurry always end up disaster for me. See you all next time.

I thought you were going to Encore tomorrow.

I just got off the phone with Chris and have started some packs charging. We'll be at Ackerman around the normal time.

[osprey21]

I just got off the horn with Bill and "we" are going to make an attempt at Ackerman tomorrow, so... if anyone wants to join us, the retrieve boat will be there.

Off to charge a couple of packs!

[Electrifiedwake]

Hey Ray, I'll start charging my Lipos tonight. Everyone meets at about 9am right? I'll bring my mono and my other boats.

[bill34207]

Keep in mind that we're supposed to run cloclks ahead an hour tonight. 9am becomes 8am by today's standard.
I'll probably be there by 9:30 DST.

[TRUCKPULL]

I am out for tomorrow guys.
I will see you all next run.

Todays videos are up both here on OSE and RC Groups.
Ray, I think the GPS mileage shown was correct on the Falcon cat. After watching the video and counting laps figured out why the motor came in at 130 degrees, too. (I gotta learn to count and drive at the same time)

[bill34207]

I hope next weekends weather is similar to what we had this weekend. I went down to SRQ and got in a few flights this morning. Stopped by Ackerman on my way home and even with the winds picking up it was still relatively flat. Not quite as much chop as we had there last weekend. Lets hope that March does go "out like a lamb" since it "came in like a lion". I should have my new P boat ready by next weekend too.

[osprey21]

Well.. I guess I'll post it here to begin with.

Finances (or should I say lack of) are forcing to sell at least one of my boats so, it's going to be my Phil Thomas Stealth Sport 20 Hydro.

I would like to offer it to my fellow club members first. You all have seen it and seen it run.

$350 takes it with an M445 prop and two(2) Hyperion 5000aMh 35C batteries.


sigh.....
