I'm down to charging packs now and have 4 boats prepped to run. Bringing the same 3 as last Sunday and adding the tunnel since it's been a while for it. Early morning tomorrow is looking pretty good for tunnel.
Actually the whole day is looking pretty good except for the heat index.

[bill34207]

Well... now I have 6 boats prepped. Decided I charged too many 4s packs so bringing along my old P mono and the Stealth, too.

[osprey21]

Got a couple 'spare' 5s packs?

So I finally had a free day to myself yesterday and today, did some work on my real boat I had needed to do for months and the wife and I met several friends out on the river today for a nice relaxing sandbar picnic and social event. Headed in around 4pm, agenda: get home, clean up the boat and charge a couple sets of packs for my STD boat. I just got finished cleaning the boat... (9:53) had an axle split in two on the way home. Im so over this sh1#! I cannot seem to catch a break lately.....

Ill be there tomorrow for a couple hours, not bringing any boats. Ill need to head out early so I can get home and get an axle off and ready to go to the trailer shop Monday am to order a new set.

I rode down to the SRQ Squadron early this morning and got in a few flights. (remembered to take my radio this time)

Stopped by Ackerman on the way back home and all the markers are still intact. With all the late day thunderstoms we've been having, the water level is up so all of them were standing up straight too.

[RCKong]

Rich and I got to cut a few laps at the local pond today. Boats were running good.

[ron1950]

brian what are u running in those geigo's? they are going pretty good for sure...

Mighty quiet in here with a race weekend coming up. Hey Scott have you went for your surgery yet? Haven't heard much out of you lately with all the hours you've been working.

We do now have another racer for Q class. Jeremy bought Hugh's old Team Believer cat at a bargain from Dan at our last test n tune.
I haven't bought any new boats but did pick up another toy to play with.
