Sorry to hear that Brian. Get better soon! 14th is coming quick!

Actually I think that would be the 12th. The 14th is a Tuesday.
Sorry to hear about the gout Brian. I know how painful it is as I've had it my thumb once before. It sux to say the least.

Hugh, I'l probably take the rigger off your hands since I don't have one yet. (yeah just what I need another boat)

[RCKong]

At least the 12th is only a few weeks away. I hope you guys will get to make some more videos.

[tiqueman]

Yeah, 12th... was thinking 14th from last month

[hebner]

I'll bring both boats tomorrow.

[osprey21]

Chris, you mentioned you were going to work on the motor, are you bringing it and the aluminum boat?

Yep, bringing both, but I haven't cut-down the motor shaft yet. I PM'd sailr earlier today regarding shortening the shaft but haven't heard from him yet and I don't want to start chopping on it until I get his blessing.

[tiqueman]

I'll bring both boats tomorrow.

Excellent because I will not have a kayak to bring.

[highndry]

I'll be there. Only bringing new p-mono and rigger

[bill34207]

Oh... he is still alive.

[highndry]

At our last gathering, Hugh mentioned that it would be good if the club had a generator. I was at Harbor Freight today and they had a small 2 cycle 800 watt generator on sale for $90! I bought one. Sorry it won't be there tomorrow, but perhaps for future runs. Should be able to run two chargers off of it at the same time. Also bought a gas can and some oil. Our treasury is now somewhere around $100!

I hope you guys can discuss snowbird rates tomorrow or maybe next time we meet we will do it. I forgot about it last time. I propose that we allow them to join for a one time $25 initiation fee and $25/year dues (good for six months only). If anyone else has ideas, let me know.

[bill34207]

Careful there Jim You'll have all of us wanting to be snowbirds with as miserable as it gets during the summer. I'll take Nov thru April for mine.

My own thoughts...
I still think we should kill the initiation fee and just charge 25 or 35 a year. Might bring in enough new interests to make it worthwhile.
Anybody just starting out is hit with the 50 bucks for namba then having to fork out another 100 to come out and play can make it a real deterrent for some folks. If we're not expensive it could well encourage more support from more people.
This would be a really good place to discuss it without cutting into play time.

[hebner]

highndry,
You better be bringing your "A" game, I'm bringing my secret weapon and a can of whup $ss! for you. Wow what happened to them Gator's. I'm living with a FSU fan, her and her three sons will be harassing me for the next year.

[hebner]

Bill,
I think that is a good idea $25 or $35 a year club fees for everyone would probably generate quite a few new members. I'm with you boating in Oct. thru May is best for me, just forget about running June thru Sept just too $amn hot for me.

Looks as if we have a motion and a second on the idea. I'd say it's time for some serious discussion or to put it to a vote and have the whole thing resolved.
