YOu know that the only thing truly "riverfront" are the barstools.    Thats where you'll find me most likely.   Let's light this candle!

Ok kids, here's all the info for Big River Inn rooms for the 2011 SCJB Father's Day Float:

Friday June 17, 2011 to Sunday June 19, 2011
Big River (just below Parker)

I have a total of 11 rooms booked right now. This is the entire row of rooms on the bluff overlooking the river. I can get the rest of the place just like last year, but I am starting with these. I've made the reservations, YOU need to take it out of my name and put it into yours. I worked out a deal with them, we're getting the Tribal Rate, $53 a nite plus tax, $56 a nite total.
The rooms are reserved under my name, Scott Watters. When you call and talk to Di, tell her you're taking one of the rooms in my name. At that time she'll take my CC info off the room and transfer it to your name and CC info.

Big River Inn (Di is the new manager) 760-665-9440

THIS IS A FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED DEAL! THE EARLIER YOU CALL AND BOOK THE BETTER CHANCE YOU'LL HAVE AT GETTING THE ROOM YOU WANT.

BULLSHIT! You need to be there, you're going to be our down river guide, tell the engaged couple that you wish them well and head East
What's this down river nonsence you speak of? Remember what happened last time we went down river from the trailer? You ended up on a 3 hour float on my boat........

Yep.  Water's still a little chilly...too cold for weeds....didn't find any weeds last weekend.  Maybe you guys can suck up all the rocks so I don't ding the prop.

Besides, I think we'll be having fun doing rocket runs at 90 mph (well, maybe 85 with Skip in the boat) between lost lake and big river all evening....should be able to make it there and back at least twice before I've gotta switch tanks....

Skip, as long as the water levels are as good as they were last weekend you should be fine. I am going to drive my boat from my park all the way up to Big River, so i'll know where to go if you guys want to follow me??

Going down river is really trouble free up until the bridge. Go thru the bridge on the Arizona side and stay towards that side for a bit then cut over to the Cali side. After the bend you want to stay over towards the Cali side as well until you get to shell beach

Tow the boat over.......That should give a hint!! 

Do they realize it's the "Father's Day Float?" Or I think as Omar used to call it, the "No Skirts Trip".........

Engagement party? Really? I thought those things went away about the same time as Saddle Shoes..... :screwy:

FOCK !      So a month ago I tell Tony I want to use his trailer.  Then life gets in the way and I have to cancel on him.  NOW things change up a bit and knowing you guys are going to BR, I say to the wife this morning, "hey want to go to the river?"  Sure she says, BUT . . . we have to camp cuz we are broke fokkers.  THEN but I want to go W,Th, F   NOT the weekend, because that is my (her) birthday and she "wants to do something just for her".   AND she is working Tuesday.
Sooo good ol' GC has to do all the packing, get a boat running, etc. in the next 2 days.  Then pull it to Blythe on questionable tires.
AND she now wants the kids to bring a friend, so GC ain't gettin' no nekkid time during the day, the tent just got more crowded so I won't be gettin' any at night and, I get to cook for 5.   :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

Post by: GlassCutter on June 06, 2011, 09:07:42 AM
Heavy duty strap?   Yup, been there done that.  So now she wants to bring the Wriedt which needs the bilge pump and diverer switches worked on.    At least it has the bimini that the Spectra doesn't.  On the plus side the tires ]are better.   Anybody going to McIntyre or Mayflower this week?

You guys planning on heading down river much at all? I know of a great cove that we can all chill at that is down river from BR but just above Lost Lake....Whats the plan? I am trying to figure out when would be best for me to cruise up to chill.

im not gunna say why (not gunna jinx anyone) but we like to go up river....chill at the sand bars or the cove just below the dam.

Totally understandable, I was just throwing it out there. I am just not sure I can make it all the way up there and back on gas, any chance somebody could sell me 4 or 5 gallons when I get up there?

Nick,
I'm down for heading down that way, my boat will always fit on your trailer  >:D  As for the gas, bring your Jaz jugs like you did before, just put them on the floor between the back seats, you'll be fine!

Post by: Nick on June 14, 2011, 02:52:19 PM
You're totally right Skip, I'll just keep a can in the boat, it will only be one other dude and me anways. So with the two of us and a gas can we will have just about enough room left for da beers!

not goign to make this one guys. sorry. even though the last one was epic. lol


anyway i have been to the river 3 weekends in a row. so i need a weekend to let the bank account settle. also i took my prop off to have it labed and to take some pitch out of it for a higher top speed.

are you guys still interested in a Mcintyre SCJB trip this year. if so we need to start picking a date. I have a few neighbors that rent their trailers now so we could probably get people hooked up with a place to stay.

anyway let me know

Post by: GlassCutter on June 14, 2011, 06:42:23 PM
Don't think so.  We were in Blythe last week and the tires on the Spectra's trailer are a bit sketchy.  Getting it registered should have happened today but didn't.  If testing goes well this week/end might go back to Mac next week.   Trying to save $$$ for the Tugboat's new moto, but damn the last couple weeks sure have been expensive.  If I had known that so many of you were staying til Monday I probably would have come down.  Then I could have broke down closer to a bar.  We still killed a bottle of JD and a bottle of Absolut   ^-^
Absolut and Gatorade -- don't knock it til you've tried it!  (One of my kids tried it by mistake.  He didn't like it as much as me n Momma did)  LOL

               A drink?  Uno?  :thumbdown:  Didn't I have a pitcher with me last time?   Most of what I remember was tripping over several of those tiny little speed bumps in the road when walking home LOL.
I looked for you, Jimmy, or Dan a couple times but we left about 2pm on Friday and I don't think you guys were there yet.  I was pretty burned by then and so were the kids.  Heading back home seemed like the best plan at that point.  The entire camp had no water for a while on Thurs. that was real fun trying to cook pasta for din din with no water.

Cool, thanks. I might have to take you up on that. Looks like I might have a couple more passengers in my boat, wich means no room for a gas can.

I've seen no oil pressure so many times due to poor wiring connections  :screwy:  unless it's starting to rattle, I don't worry about it  8)

Disconnect it from the pump, run it with a mechanical oil pressure gauge and see what you really have for pressure.
