Thinking about going ride Wallisville Saturday. Would also be cool with old/lost if someone familiar with it wanted to go there.

I'm a BIG MAYBE on Saturday bud. Kinda depends on how momma is doing with the newborn.

I wont know till Friday evening or Saturday morning.

10-4

Maybe......
I've been battling walking pneumonia for a few weeks. Engine is still in pieces, but all the pieces are here (still unmodified)

Hope you get to feeling better man! That walking pneumonia's been going around.

Im probably down......wat time

Damn, put the head back on and adjusted the valve lash, but my trim switch is bad. Got two on order that will be here between thursday and saturday.

Gonna try to build the exhaust tomorrow and finish cutting down the 3 blade prop. (hub work wont be ready for the weekend though.

Maybe for me .. Gotta finish painting install and fan and start hanging stuff on baby room walls

Chris if you dont have it done, you can more than likely ride with me. I should be solo.

Ha trying too

Rain as of today is 60% Saturday, but I'm gonna hold on to the high likely hood it will change. I'm gonna plan to launch around 1030. Most likely at the locks..

Wish I could make it. Y'all have fun.

Enjoy your new addition brotha!

Is sunday possible? Looks like much better weather.

I'm showing 100% Sunday, I show 70 Saturday but it's supposed to be late. Sunday prolly won't work but it's a possibility. I rather just go early sat set some jugs ride and watch the radar. I'll make a final call tomorrow, I don't know of anyone else going so it's our call. You gonna have your ride together, or you riding with?

I dont give a rats ass. I have a rain jacket, and I dont care if I catch pneumonia again since I'll hit my maximum out of pocket with insurance this year it's almost like having free welfare medicaid.

I can bring a trotline too if you want. I was building 4 of them but only got about 2/3 of the way through the first one before I got distracted.

Yeah, just rechecked...... sunday is pretty jacked up from 11am to around 7pm.

Motor is running, got the new trim switches in the mail tonight, finished the trotline, BOUGHT A FRIGGIN TRAILER!, boat is on it.

Just gotta strap down the boat, gas it up, and grab my gear off the porch in the morning.

Wish I wasn't an hour away and on call. I'd come ride today for sure. It's a little cool but I like it

You missed a hell of a ride. I almost died, then I almost died again, then I outran a GTR for about 20 minutes until something snapped and went flying out the exhaust and I lost 600rpm, the engine ran fine for the rest of the day though so go figure?, I caught two bowfin and tad caught a gar, we had tons of fun tearing up water hyacinth and playing in the mud. Oh, and we got checked by the Warden, but he was cool and we were legal.

True story!

It was an awesome day on the water. Mud and veggies were awesome. Found a few nice logs to jump. Caught a few fish. Got smoked by a kayak. Then smoked a broke kayak lol. I got over an hour of video, I'll work on getting it edited by the work week. Having a positive experience with a GW is always a great way to top off an awesome day too.

Ohh and took a crap off the side of a boat, last time I did that I was 8 in mcfaddin before a hunt.

And forgot toilet paper....

Damn, looks like I did miss a good time!!!

I went to ride and look for some new hunting territory and managed to get wedged between two trees, get unstuck, and bend the shit out of the bottom of my boat. Oh well. I may have found some good places to hunt next year... And the dent will hammer out

I forgot about the poo!

Nope, my high fiber diet!

I didn't fix my high idle problem, so idle was ~20mph when I tried to leave the ramp.
Then after I fixed it and we started running upriver the boat was running so fast the hole boat was out of the water and the wind was catching underneath it lifting it and yawing it pretty badly. I was expecting it to hook the chine at any moment and do another barrel roll, but this time at nearly 30mph.

Then (thankfully maybe?) something let loose in the motor (POP, RATTLE RATTLE RATTLE, TING TING PING and something flew out the exhaust) and I went from 4200 down to 3600rpm in the water.

Damnit son. Sounds like yall had a pretty eventful day. at least it kept running after the motor let loose.

I dont know what happened. I need to clean the carb again for the billionth time, pull the head back off, do a little detective work.....

Also my shitty welding job on the exhaust broke. The last 30 minutes of the run back to the ramp was me putting along with the exhaust pipe completely blown off the flange. The other two welds held great though.

Videos uploading to YouTube now. It was very hard condensing all that footage. Very happy with the final cut though.
