Re: Discus Folks in Western Kentucky...
I'd love to, but that's our 'crunch' day before we begin the load out of this 'ole ship...wife's back in SD, crazy 20 somethings I have for crew along...might hit that rock quarry on Sat..Need to run this new engine a while..Ship looks a little naked without masts or spars....If you get away, we're knee deep in rum, beer, and such, as we hafta empty the ship's liquor locker, and the simplest way is to drink down the supply!.....

Well maybe next time then. Everytime I have been to the rock quarry was Labor day weekend and it was a blast. The last boating weekend of the season they claim. All I can say is have plenty of drinks and beads if you know what I mean ;)
Re: Discus Folks in Western Kentucky...
we'll be taking her out for a spin later today to test out the new transmission..Best here on the calm lake before she hits the Columbia River in Oregon in a few weeks..

Thanks Gary,
Let me know how the rock quarry was this weekend
Re: Discus Folks in Western Kentucky...
The quarry was pretty emtpy today; just a handful of boats..It was maybe seven miles each way...then bay next door was better for us due to size..We'll give it a look again, but it was darn near a hundred degrees today..We're baked...Gary

Not many people will be there today try tomorrow and yes it is HOT out.
Re: Discus Folks in Western Kentucky...
We'll go again; we needed to get some hours on this new, tighter than a drum engine.....got 'er warm, we did......
Re: Discus Folks in Western Kentucky...
Hi Gary,
was the lake any better today?
Re: Discus Folks in Western Kentucky...
Close to 100 again, so we kept our sunburned arses in the marina and attended a fish fry..Taking her our for a while tomorrow....Maybe hit six knots on this tight buggar....
Re: Discus Folks in Western Kentucky...
I have a boat myself and it isn't fun when you are out on a lake when it is 100+. No matter how much sunscreen you use and beer you drink it is still dang hot out on the water. Today should be cloudy you might get some relief from the sun.
Re: Discus Folks in Western Kentucky...
The rain during the weekend put a damper on most folks for cruising and partying...Remarkably, we are STILL here...Hauling co. hit a three day snag, so tomorrow's when we load her out and head west....the change in the weather is helping us a lot....easier to work in the 70 degree range..

I can't believe it was 102 Saturday then it has been raining since and we won't make it out of the 60's today. I know you are busy but if you ever make it back around the area you are always welcome to come over and hang out. My brother should be done with his ray pond soon so you can check that out also.
