For all of you out at the CBBB in AVI this weekend I hope you have a great time.
I was just out there this weekend with the idea of fixing the "Wet Dawg" (bad starter & other things)And I have to tell ya the secuity people were GREAT.
Took the Dawg out of storage in needles, and brought her over to the AVI parking lot. Set up my EZ up, compressor, Generator and fan and was ready to get to work, when I was besieged by 4 security guys in the little golf carts. Well..............................
to my pleasure, they were really cool. :D They just wanted to know if i was setting up a business of fixing boats in the parking lot (Because of all the Stuff I had brought) and they wanted to make sure I wasn't gonna drain the oil in the lot (Can you imagine?)
Anyway after a few minutes of checking my room key and beach pass, they became true boaters. One guy jumped in and help lift the exhaust manifold out while the others just offered encouragement. They offered me water and then took off. They came by every hour or so just to check on me. I would post the pictures of my parking lot adventure if I knew how. wink
Mrs Wet Dawg was Napping recovering from a "Parrothead Party" the night before so I had to rely on "outside " help for parts & stuff (beer). She sent me out in the 115 degree heat, 20 mph wind, with a cooler of 3 beers and 7 waters. When she came out at 1pm I had 0 beers and 7 waters and was pretty happy.
A bunch of guys came by to help or borrow/loan tools. Thanks Ron, Toby from Cost Mesa, Mark (you guys are the greatest), Dave, Josh, Louie and others for the beer and encouragement. Thanks to several ladies for the "flashing" as well. :)
I never finshed! Too freaking hot. Quit about 2pm, loaded the 9mm and put a bullet in her.(just kidding). I ended up putting her away and will bring her home in September. I guess I will have to just ride in "Wet Puppies" (Wifes boat) for the rest of the season. eek!
Anyway the Security Guards are cool if ya treat them right. Be Good and be safe. Bring lots of liquid (your choice) wish I were there

Yep...been there done that on the wrenching in the heat- not fun. Very nice setup.
Also, it's great to hear those stories. Most of my experience with rent-a-cops are not good. Glad to hear there are a few good ones out there...

My experience with the Indian casino security has been stellar. They take theft on their land very seriously, and for the most part I have only found tribe members working as security.
In addition, I don't think I have seen one I would like to get into a scrap with. VERY large men...
Bottom line is... Zero problems.
