Not tryin to ruin any fun but I seriously think that this is not a good time to go unless the river comes down. There is so much crap (logs, trees, ext.) floatin down the river right now that it would be dangerous. The river hasnt been this high for @5 years give or take. There is 5 years worth of trees and branches that are floating right now. Just my 2 cents.

But the trip is a month away,its deffinetly gonna be down by then,its more fun when you get to doge stuff going 70+ mph.:D You cant be picky though cause in 2 months it could be low like its been for the last 5 years.
Time to wake this thread up Who's going !! john

Please don't "shoot it" past Andy!! It might stick!!
:confused: :confused:
Mike I was at Rich's shop today and he didn't know about this swannie trip ,get your sh...............t together,and call mike to,its going to be fun,,Parker talked to Andy,he's not ready to share Alene quite yet,i guess I'll just have to get ya a Stripper,(think I can find one with all her teeth up there on the swannie???????????,You just might have to get Gummed!!!! Kinsey Out
airide18
03-31-2003, 06:31 PM
I think most of the girls around the swannie are all out of teeth,danm rednecks.:rolleyes: What days are you guys shooting for????
Parker ,Andy said your not going to have much chance getting that Mirage to fly high with all the lead in you ass from his Colt 45,And Alene's not sure you know what to do with her 38 DDD's,,Parker you must look in a different play ground,you or I don't make the amount of monie that girl spends in a week!! do you know what ( HIGH MAINTANENCE MEANS),She's the poster child!!! Its a good thing she love's me ,when she reads this Im in trouble!! LOL! kinsey out
Don't know what you guys mean about Swannie girls not having all their teeth. Did you check in her purse?
What is the final word on a date anyway?
