West Florida Model boat club, Sarasota, FL

I drove by Thursday afternoon and the water had come up considerably - no more beach!

Good deal on the no more beach. That will help discourage spectators getting too close to the action.

Looks like we're be down a couple of regulars between you and Ray. After 8 or 9 days in a row doubt if I'd even be able to stand up. (I'm too old for that crap any more and do good to make five 9's).
Get some rest and maybe we'll catch up on the 4th Sunday unless you're recuperating from surgery.

Hey Guys! I finally got the photos from the last meet in May that Jon took. They should be located here. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/38g7tp04i4py343/0ETr_fjQax If you want any feel free to take them or if you want a Bigger photo quality version just let me know.

LMK if there are any problems with the link. I just setup this dropbox acct and I'm not an expert on how it works just yet.

Hey Scott. Are you making any top secret saw passes at your personal area 51 yet? Or still working so many hours you can't get a chance to build.

Off on another note (to make it kind of club business related) have we ever come up with a price for ordering new club T's yet? I'm sure some of the new guys would like to have one and I'm still good for buying 3 fresh ones myself. The ones Jim got for us are holding up well but I would like some that say Sarasota instead of Land O Lakes. Maybe we could get them from the same outfit? Personally I don't care if they're $20.00 each as long as it's on a good quality T that will last for a year or two.

I wish I was. Still havent drilled the first hole. Over 70 hrs last week, 27 already since monday am. I should be wrapping up this job though by 2 or 3 tomorow . No progress on Ts as I havent had "during the week time" in over a month. I thought about just contacting where Jim got them, but we would have to send all new graphics so whats the point? If I dont get to it this week I definitely will next...

Sunday is race day, Ill be there but probably w/ no boats. I have nothing running at the moment and dont know if Im going to work on anything between now and then. I need some "chill" time.

[bill34207]

Right now, I'm hoping the weather will cooperate and let us run this Sunday. With the high rain chances being predicted our boats might get wet.

[ron1950]

just saw the weather bill......looks as if the lake water level will rise a bit this week lol

[RCKong]

I'm hoping to run also - Last test and tune my car blew up that morning so I did not go. Yesterday I fell on a jobsite and cracked a couple of ribs and sprained my elbow and wrist. I made new pins for the lake that dont come apart, and was hoping to get up there early to set them up. I'll see how I feel in a day or two.
