I made it out. Car ran decently the whole way, and as far as I can tell I only lost a single manifold to turbo studs.

Is this a yearly thing? If I hadn't had JUST gone to MATG I would have been up for this. How did it go? Pictures?

It happens every other year or so. It went well. Had 6-7 people out. Hung out on the boat and drank cheap beer.

And floated in the lake and drank cheap beer.

And ate vodka infused gummi bears.

And got chased around the cove in my boat by a drone with a spy camera and "frickin' lasers".

You guys can still profit off making a floating device with a seat back like we talked about... There's still money to be made.

I'd like to say thanks to sixshooter for opening up his house to us and cooking great food!

I'd also like to thank portabull for sharing his projects at his hanger!

It was nice to meet everyone who went and a big thanks to shuiend for helping me look my MS3 setup.

^Lol, I was going to apologize for not being a better chef. I'm into subsistence cooking.

I had a great time. Good friends, good food and good beer. Next time I will be ready for floating and drinking.

Thanks for hosting Steve.

I'm starting to see a few pictures roll in.

EDIT: You can't see the other two in the front of the boat.
