cole when are you comming out to the local lakes?

[cole13]

OK long story short. My wife and I are having twins. She is due anytime now. The only reason I am going to the river this weekend is to hook up with my buddy who is bringing down the cribs that we ordered. So I am pretty much out for the rest of the summer.
She was not supposed to have the kids until August, well that was the plan, but low and behold you can not plan everything and she started having pre-term labor. And it basically cut this year out. It sucks because we had it planned perfect, have the babies in Aug. Wait till they are 8 or 9 months old and take them to the river, without skipping a beat.
I am however planning a boys trip, after the babies are born. Because they are coming early they are most likely going to be in the NICU for a couple of weeks. So I consulted with my wife, and she said during that time, since they will be in the hospital I can take a two days and go out.

If it were up to me, she would have the babies on the deck of the boat. But she does not like that idea.

I was actually on my way to the Mississippi River Roost in 2001, when my wife went into labor. I was about 6 hours from home, with my 19' CP Gullwing on the trailer behind my truck when I got the phone call. I immediately turned the rig around, and got to the hospital about 8:30 pm. I left the truck and boat in the parking lot at the hospital.
My son was born at 11:15 that night, overlooking the Gullwing. It was a beautiful day.

We're up that way but I'm not sure about a rock bottom river. (maybe I should!)
There is a rock bar up by us where I saw a guy tear his pump off a couple weeks ago. But no other hazzards.
Either way, we're about 7 miles down from the bridge into Parker. Black and Blue Carrera.
Leaving tomorrow!!!!

N8, that is what I heard as well. And we have to go up river, we are meeting that guy we know in BR to help him clean out his inlet. I guess with all the rains, it filled up his inlet and he can use the launch ramp. It should be pretty interesting, he has a dredging machine that is going to come in and move all of the debris.

Keep an eye out for all the debris in the water also. I can't remember all the times that I had to take off the cover or jump in and remove alot of weeds from the grate. I think it was because of the load we had (pretty weighted down with a 12 x 12 easy up, cooler full of beer and food, 3 wake boards, 1 knee board, 4 adults, and one dog.) Way to much weight in the boat! Anyways, once you get up to Big River the water starts looking better.

That is funny, I always thought the water looked better south. Noone is ever down there you know that. But we do have to go up to Big River to help this guy out. Your pump did not eat up the reeds. I have never had to pull the plate there. It usually just gets sucked through.

[n8dawg]

Yeah I remember the water down south but with one boat didn't want to risk breaking down. Hey I got some ggod news for ya...now your boat is faster than mine! :cry: I stuck this new nozzle on and in isn't the same, for some reason I lost alot of hole shot power. I had to stand on it to pull danny out of the water. I have to do something about that nozzle before we go out again. One of the reasons for sucking up so much crap is because the driver who was towing me kept driving over the damn weeds! :devil: Hey I need to pull me on the wake board.

[cole13]

Sounds good. What are you doing this weekend? You should hook up with J in Simi and then cruz out with us this weekend. We are only going for the day. Taking J's boat, that thing is a sweet ride, and hell of a lot of fun to board behind.
Oh and why are you not at work?

[n8dawg]

Think I'm just going to kick back this weekend take a break. That last trip kicked my ass with all the boarding we did... still feeling it :sleeping:
I worked a night shift last night that ended around 3 o' clock in the morning. I hope it was just for one night, i dunno. :confused:

Just thought I would ask! At least it sounds like you had a good trip. How was the new board?

[n8dawg]

She likes it alot, I don't think that I ever saw her smile that much while wake boarding! Ended up being a good pick.

[cole13]

anyone?
