Since i boat on the river sometimes, I have often wondered if I was to strike a log, or 2, and destroy my drives, would they give me konrads since TRS are no longer made? :drool5:

[StraightJacket]

Hippie and I were just talking about that, grew up on that river and ran multiple times at nite at 60-70m mph and never hit a thing , thats about the only luck I have ever had in my life.
Of course there was that one time around the Acme bend ( at nite) when I had to go wide near the shore line for the Barge and a Deer came out of the woods into the river. That scared the sh!t out of me.

[Candyman]

My current desktop makes me dream of better days ahead...

Nice shot!

Same day! I was thinking about adding Air Force One into the shot also:sifone:

[redhotsommer]

Why Dan...did you feel like unnecessarily scaring people into running for cover and calling 911 in fear of a terrorist attack at a cost of some $300,000 to the taxpaying public?

[OBNOXUS]

Its OK,,,,it was just a publicity stunt !!!

What do you expect from a ,,,, ( never mind,,,, to easy )

[Absolutely]

you guys got balls going down that river at those speeds this early in the year (i"ll give ya that)!!....I'd hit a log and lose a drive if it was me!! LOL

we do that the last Saturday in April every year, weve seen every thing from trash cans floating just at the surface to house doors with the hardware still on it floating on top and every thing in between just got to be alert.

Speaking of being alert

It's the one's that are water logged floating just below the surface I worry about. Boated in the river for many years with no problems with the exception of a kicked up spedo tube.
