Lil' Ritchie jumps in to show his big sis how it's done.

That fish head tree would make a wacky avatar......
Nice trip, and so professionally documented by RiverKitty. :D
Where is that dirt ramp?

[Infomaniac]

Thanks !!! :D :D :D

[JetBoatRich]

Thanks RK, we had a great time.
Your play by play of the day was right on :D :D :D

[JetBoatRich]

RK, just showed lil Rich and he loved them, thanks again :D

[RiverKitty]

Rich Glad to hear Lil' Ritchie enjoyed the photos!!! Thanks again for letting me tag along with your family!!! :D I had a GREAT time!!! Sorry to hear your vehicle went on the fritz after I left. :( I'm sure that was pretty frustrating for you and the crew. Just make sure it's ready to rock & roll in time for the CBBB event!
Mandy I'm still in search for the *secret* road as well as the *secret* forum member. As for the "fish tree", well that was pretty bizarre running across that dealio. Looks like somebody had some good eatin' then evacuated camp!

I would have to say it is a basswood tree

[RiverKitty]

Isn't that funny? Looks like he's talking!
"Great! As if it wasn't bad enough I'm missin' my ass and hangin' from a tree...but now all these people are makin' fun of us!!!" :rolleyes:
http://www.bobbyhayden.com/talkinFishHead.jpg
And quit lookin' at me! It's not like you've never seen a fish before! Sheesh! :mad:

[SCUBA STEVE]

Looks everyone had a blast out there. :D

[FMluvswater]

Wow, RiverKitty you're a really great photographer! :D Ha! You told me you weren't a writer! Fibber! That write up was great! wink :D
A comedian too! Your captions for the fish heads were cracking me up! :D
JBR- Now I've seen for myself (sort of) that you really did have a good time! :cool: :D :D

FMluvswaterbabe:
Your captions for the fish heads were cracking me up! :D Thanks FM!! :D I think I'm more of a "wannabe photographer" but I do enjoy takin' pics! Speaking of which, a publisher found one of my pics on WebShots and will be using it in a boating magazine out East. The article will be about carbon monoxide in Lake Havasu and should be coming out in early August. Just think, I'll be a "published" photographer!!! Woo Hoo!!!
As for the fish heads, their classic! You could probably come up with 100 senarios of what these fish might be saying!
For instance:
"This is NOT what I meant when I said I wanted a little head!!!" :rolleyes:

Thanks RiverKitty. I felt like I was there!

Hey RK, great documentary..There will be a few of us on the Okanagan this weekend, and i was wondering if you would be intrested in doing some live coverage of the festivities..?? :D :D
By the way I see some hot boat stickers in the window of the truck...I want some of those.

I would love to live coverage at the Okanagan festivities!!! If your buyin', I'm flyin'!!! :D :p
As for the Hot Boat stickers, you'll need to ask Rich about how he aquired his.

[Chase]

Well RK, It would be soo cool to hook up with you and your friends sometime..I don't know what my dear spousal unit would say if I told her I had to go to the airport to pick RiverKitty up...besides there is no way of boating to the airport in Kelowna... :D :D
I think I may be able to do some live coverage...or possibly uncoverage wink of my own, where I hope to be able to post lots of pictures when I get home.

[RiverKitty]

Chase:
I don't know what my dear spousal unit would say if... LMAO!!! "Spousal Unit???" CLASSIC!!!
Ok, fair enough, just make sure you take *lots* pics, whether it's live coverage or uncoverage! We'll take both!!! devil
Cheers ~RK :D

[Chase]

Hey not a problem, I love to share my boating adventures with others. :D :D

[FMluvswater]

Oh wow RiverKitty, that's so exciting you're gonna get one of your photographs published!!! Way cool!! They paying for the privelege (I'm not asking how much that's NOMB just if they are)? I hope you'll show us the pic in all it's published glory when it happens! :D Congratulations, gf! :D

av-gas

[Chase]

I was wondering how long it would take you to get back here...AV.Gas??
So any changes in the plans, or should I say are there any plans??

[riverguy454]

i know who the mystery forum guy is

[RiverKitty]

riverguy454:
i know who the mystery forum guy is It's YOU isn't it!!! :D :D :D

[riverguy454]

yes it is i liked the page

[RiverKitty]

Woo Hoo!!! We solved the *mystery*!!!
So what did you guys end up doing that day?
Details, DETAILS!! Got Pics???
I can't believe you recognized me at the Riverside!!! Simply amazing! Dude, you need to post more often!!!

[riverguy454]

we went to mohave for the day and since my boat was broke i got drunk and tried the ski bob which is something not to do while drunk i didn't have my camera but we did get some pics i will post them as soon as i can get them

[FMluvswater]

Chase:
I was wondering how long it would take you to get back here...AV.Gas??
So any changes in the plans, or should I say are there any plans?? :D av-gas I believe is aviation gas. Unlike regular gas, it is made to not deteriorate when left sitting in a tank for long periods of time and it can be used in certain boat engines (I can't remember which kinds :o I'm still on a learning curve). :D
As for Kelowna plans I'll PM you in a bit. :D TTYL Chase :)
