Alligator Lake Saturday

[Wile E. Coyote]

It was a good time, met some new faces (instigator, Alligator Mike, and a few others) and hung out with the regulars! Mellon bellies as always a pleasure, Skip (thanks for the decal man!) The Lightning boyz (see ya at crescent city).

Of course it rained like hell for about 15 mins. (sunk every boat on our beach) but all in all it was a good time as always.....

Till next time all....

MAN WHAT A GREAT TIME!!


it was good to see everyone again!! the rains co-operated with us and only messed with us once a day in the afternoon then cleared up again, turned out to be a great weekend :cool:

man i'm a tired old pup, got home sunday around 6 in the evening and was kicked back thinking about all the folks that showed up even with the threat of rain, now thats some bad ass folks!!

thanks for the great time alligator mike and allisoon man!! you guys host a hell of a party :D

SIDE NOTE:

somewhere along the line a 30 hoss triton was put on the dock then someone took it to someone else so it would'nt come up missing, in the confusion it dissapeared, that prop belongs to ziemer and was never found, please return it to jeff ziemer, if ya dont know who that is he posts here as "ZIEMER" , last i heard on sunday it was still missing, any help figuring out where it ended up and getting it returned is appreciated!!!

here's the link to his profile to send him a PM......

Yep, so far we haven't found it. Just a correction, it's a 28 Hoss triton, with 3 little nicks in one of the blades. If anyone came up with an extra prop this weekend let me know.

Yesterday was a little rough (me, not the lake) but we had a great time on Saturday. Even got to put a little wheel on the family boat and play around with Hot Shot. I think the big ole Allison made him a little nervous.

Oh yeah, I was told to attach this pic of Gator's broke down Johnson. It mysteriously made its way into my email?????

[Wile E. Coyote]

Sucks about the prop, I'm sure it will turn up, there was an awful lot of prop changin' going on....I had only one prop left in my boat, it was a 30 cleaver but I beleive that belonged to Dominic.....Didnt see where yours might have got to.....

Everyone just needs to check their inventory when they get time.....

[ZiemerSTV]

Had a great time on Saturday especially with Instigator and Sammy Corley.

Sure hope Jeff Jr locates his 28" Hoss Triton Prop. Everyone please check your supply of props.

[gdfatha]

Looks like a fun time..

Thanks for sharing....

Speaking of ALLIGATORS... The population of CROCODILES in Florida is growing....more bumps in the water to worry about...

[Hot Shot Merc]

For haveing us to his house saturday.Andy and I had a blast.It was cool to see everyone again.I love that chain so much.There was only about two other boats that were on the water besides us Hot boater's.You can ripp all the way across that lake wide fu#@ing open and not worry about a set of wakes.....That sux to about Ziemers prop maybe it feel off the dock during the hurricane:D Till next time ,Peace out.

[SAMMY CORLEY]

We just got back in,and I want to thank Alligator Mike an Brad for there hospitality we really had a great time. Really enjoyed meeting all da new folks had a ball with Jeff an his son an also Instigator also an saw all da old friends we had met before. Now I gotta say I sure hope dat prop turns up cause dat would be a really crummy way to end a perfect weekend, I'm sure someone had to pick it up by mistake at least that is my hope.

PS Did the prop show up yet ?

[Instigator]

Was a freagin Hoot!!
My stay was short due to family being down from Ohio for the weekend.
Thrashed in my driveway till 9:30 Friday night, then hauled ass.
Ole Skipper called to tell me what a blast they were having and top get my ass up there.
So 3 1/2 hrs later, I pull in at 1:00 A.M. to party. Funny thing was, all you light weights were out:eek: :D :p
I slept in a lawn chair in the back of the pick up only to awake to Nut and Barry Strawn waking my ass up @ 7:30 to go testing:D
Thanks for all your help Barry! Got one good solid 100 MPH pass in with your Cleaver and custom made blow out ring.
A special thanks to Brad and Mike for lending assistance after my steering cable shorted and roached the motors wiring harness.
I thrashed for 2 hrs trying to bring the old girl to life so I could make it back to the trailer under my own power.
It was no good though and my buddy Skip towed me in with that damn black motor on the back of his boat to the amusemnt of the crowd:D You'd think I pick on you guys or something :p
A certain Mr. Corely (I got your number their Bubbha:D ) took special joy in eductaing me on the down falls of the mighty JohnRude.
Ziemer, I am dissapointed that is the best you guys could come up with?? I expoected video's of the tow for sure:D
I also remember why I did'nt mess with you when we were both out (did'nt even realize it was you).
I was still running Barry's wheel's and had just switched from his 14 1/2 X 32 Cleaver to his Hoss 14 X 28 and the motor was way too high.
Would'nt carry the bow at all and would break loose if you tried. Ran 84 GPS :)
To VectorPat, was a hoot to finally meet you Bro and thanks for pulling my broken ass up the ramp.
To everyone else I met there, it was my pleasure gentlemen and women!!!
A special thanks again to Skip, you rock dude!!
I know this was your baby and how much work you put into this event and it showed!!
AlligatorMike, You rock too my friend!! Was great to finally meet you and see you are continuing to mend. That made my weekend!!
Nut, bring the Mrs. and come down any time!
Wish I could have stayed longer.
Gary

[BarryStrawn]

Gator, sorry about helping the smoke escape from your wiring harness. But the mod to the ring is done and I will throw it in the mail.

It was nice to finally meet a few of you guys. Had a good time for the few hours I could be there. Bunch of nice boats and great people. Just regret that I didn't have the old heap together. But y'all know I have the fastest crossflow in Florida, right:D

[Talon2.5]

olegator, thank YOU for all youve done over the years to get us where we are today!! you say "old has was"......i dont think so hotrod!!! you da man!! i was so happy to see you!!

[Talon2.5]

theres too much to say on a puter after being able to talk to everyone all day at the gathering, got a few to throw out here though........


barry, you need to come outa the woodwork more often man!!


gary, i know it was a short stay but thanks for driving up!! you made it to your first get together as a floridian ;) it was'nt my baby, i helped where i could, we had great host's!!!

mellonbellies, what can i say? it's always a pleasure seeing you guys!!

rnm018 and wile e coyote, we gotta get together in your neck o'the woods soon!!

H2Onut, too much time passes between getting to see each other, always a pleasure, keep strummin that 6 string :D

vectorpat, i know you travel now at your job so thanks for making the trip!! always a pleasure man!!

hotshot, great to see you again man!! keep tellin 'em straight bro!!

mike and brad put on one hell of a party, thanks guys!! you rock!!

man i'm still sore and tired and it's tuesday hahahahaha :D


i hope the prop is found soon...............that is the only bummer of the whole weekend :(

[Ziemer]

Looks like I've located my prop. Turns out Warren has it. Somehow it must of been put in his truck by mistake. We were both switching out props at the same time.


Thanks.

[ShorePounder]

Cool!! At least now you know where it is. Glad to hear it turned up.

[Talon2.5]

cool!! glad to hear it, was hoping/figured the smaller intimate gathering was more trustworthy :cool:

(we all know the big sanford one had 2 props disappear)

[Wile E. Coyote]

that is a good thing :cool:

[Raceman]

I'm glad it turned up. I was beginning to think that Parker did it. When he gets in the Mad Dog he's liable to pull somebody else's whole boat home by mistake. (I love blamin' stuff on Parker:D)

[VectorPat]

Its even more fun to blame it on him when he's not there:D ;)
Had a great time with everyone and it was hard to leave the party Saturday evening, but family and job were calling.. Instigator, I'll pull that broke Johnny out for you anytime :D :D It was great to see the Melonbellies. They bring a goodtime whenever they are around..Glad to hear the prop was found. I went and checked all of mine when I heard about it. I knew it would pop up some where..

[Talon2.5]

probably the only time gator will get that good of a look at the back of my talon :D :eek:
