Lake Travis 2010

[sweet addiction]

Lets go do some poker runs. Man I am excited now. Got the boat cleaned up today and runs like a top. Ready to get out. Snapped a few photos for my forsale ads. It was nice outside except for the wind blowing 30 mph. :cuss:

I think we are all ready to go this time. Can't wait. Going to see my Mom and Dad next weekend for his birthday. They also want to go to the boat show. We would go every year up until highschool and now the trend continues. I am excited to get to hang with the family again. Dad's old 79 Sea Ray we blew up needs to be replaced maybe this is the year he will buy something. :rolleyes:

Reminds of that guy at the LOTO shootout with the twin Merc 300s on the back at 90mph

[sweet addiction]

Have you seen that yellow one with twins on it at Travis? He comes up from Lake Conroe. It is pretty cool.

[Griswald]

Have not. And I probably don't want to mess with him if I do. Although, a couple rollers and I might be able to fly right by!

[htrdlncn]

There is also a Playcraft pontoon that hangs around Cow Creek with a very healthy sounding big block.

[sweet addiction]

I have not seen that one.

Possibly hitting the water tomorrow with my buddy. He picked up a new to him 271 Formula. All it needed was upper valve train work and trailer brakes. I think he wanted to hit the water tomorrow about 1:00. The boat is currently on the west side of the lake so we may unload at Briarcliff or Pacebend park. Hope to make it down lake.

[sweet addiction]

Any updates Jim? My brother and I had a burger at C&C today and man there were boats everywhere. Saw some new cat haul butt by but could not really see it out there.

saaaaahweeeet!


Jim - I'm out of Modelos!

[sweet addiction]

Awesome!! Yea, the warm weather is really getting peeps all giddy and ready to get on the water. I hope it motivates someone to buy my boat. My brother just keeps saying over and over how good of a summer this is going to be. It is funny I think. :sifone:

Amazing how fast it filled.......

[MOBILEMERCMAN]

Sweet, are you buying a new boat. I thought I read you are looking at a few Fountains.

[MOBILEMERCMAN]

Yes, Paul up 40 feet in a few months.. Love the El Nino.

Well hopefully between you and Brandon Ill have a boat to ride on cause right now I dont know if I will get mine back together anytime soon.
:ack2:

[sweet addiction]

Yes, I have a broker working on someone at this moment. He has not said he does not want it. I think he is working on getting all his questions answered and then hopefully he will come look at it. Yes, I have decided a fountain is my next purchase. The longer I look the better deals I find. I hope soon I will be rolling in a new ride, we will see what happens. :sifone:



Sweet, are you buying a new boat. I thought I read you are looking at a few Fountains.

[sweet addiction]

No problem. You must be working SXSW. Brandons motor is together and they are talking putting it in soon. The computer should be back this week and the wire harness just needed to be put on. We did not take any pics this weekend. It is pretty sweet though. So for now you will have to ride with me. :eek: We stopped and had a burger yesterday and I envy those who were out already. It was nice in the afternoon but I bet it cooled quick on the water at the end of the day.

Sweet, I friend of mine is selling his. I think it is a 29. I can fwd pix to your e mail if you like. It is indoor kept and clean, clean.

[sweet addiction]

Thanks Jim. Looking at 35's. My buddy never called so I spent the day sanding my brothers outdrive. With this warm weather I hope the phone starts ringing and we get her sold.

Should be at 681 by end of week when all this rain flows into lake.

[htrdlncn]

Supposed to be in the 30s tonight up here in the hill country by the lake.
we are in mid March, this is friggin ridiculous..

[sweet addiction]

LOL, yea this weather is crazy. Thought if it was nice this weekend I would get the boat out. Looks like I have to pass again.

680 and counting. If this keeps up some people will be moving to higher ground.

[sweet addiction]

Here we go again. 2007. :eek:

I do all the yard work around the house so this time of year is pretty exciting to see the yard start to turn green and my plants and bushes come back to life. I am really excited to see what the yard looks like. I sprayed the crap out of weeds this winter so I want to see it green. Should not be one single weed in it. I agree this cold weather stuff sucks. Brandon and I sanded his drive this morning in the garage and that is about it. Really thinking about sanding my lower unit and polishing.

:iagree:

Can't make it Saturday but Sunday I am going out. Getting the boat ready tomorrow but we are going with the family to the Rodeo so would be a hassle to get back. Htrdlncn said he might join me Sunday and I am trying to see if my brother will go. If they can't make it I will probably be out anyway. Shooting for a little after noon on Sunday, and probably plan to go to C&C for a burger and a beer for a while.

Hope Travis is stable this year, I was down there about a month in 07. got in about two days on the lake before the 500 year flood. I was staying on LBJ, rain and wind woke me up, knew we were in trouble when I saw the third boat floating down the middle of the lake.

Planning another trip down this summer, will try not to bring the rain!

[sweet addiction]

According to the weather man spring time storms are predicted to be severe but I think this year will be a good time to be at Lake Travis. Anything is better than last year. I went to town this morning to go wash the truck and Home Depot and peeps are pulling boats towards the lake like crazy. Kind of made me jealous.

Oh, man it was windy out there on Sunday. Saw a baja getting beat to death. That was about it. Helped Htrdlncn with some stuff and then had a burger at the Pier. I really want to go this Saturday but the man is calling for rain.

[sweet addiction]

Going out Saturday for sure. Probably hit the water little after lunch, maybe make C&C for a burger this weekend. Should be nice so maybe I will see some of you guys out, well those who have boats that are running. :sifone:

[htrdlncn]

I was going to email you but forgot. I will give you a call when I get on the water. Hope about noon.

It was nice out there. Good to see people out and about with the lake up. Pretty busy.

[sweet addiction]

Thanks for haulin the mail with me for a while on Saturday. Hung with some people that I had meet before. All were pretty nice. Jennifer called and said the store was slow and she was headed home a little after 5. So about 4:30 I called it a day and headed to the ramp. Loaded in under 5min. :sifone:
