Good morning Steve, Dave and Jay!! Its finally friday and yes the sun is out!!!
As far as a boat goes I know the feeling of not using it enough. We have what I call a family boat as myself, my brother and my folks all own shares in it. It usually is over at my brothers seasonal spot on the lake but I still never get there to use it. I want to try and make it out more with it myself! I should pull it down to the cities sometime this summer and we could all go out for the day! An FTE gtg on the lake!

Your right Jay!! Lee does have a boat...looks like we might be in trouble now! haha I have always wanted to go on Lake Minnetonka sometime but everybody always says it is such pain because it is so busy with boats so we have never gone there. Gull Lake up north of Brainerd is a cool lake too but always real busy also.

There are a ton of boats on Minnetonka but it is such a huge lake that it is not really "that" bad the times I have been out there. YOu go there to site see anyway not water ski. Never been on Gull

Yeah Jay when I go to the lake there is nothing like sightseeing at the beach! 
Steve that is pretty nice to be that close to a lake. Do rent a spot to park your boat there?
On a side note the tranny fluid just showed up and it is the right stuff!!!

No I keep the boat at my house it takes about 20 minutes total to hook it up, and put it in the water, plus I can watch it here, work on it here, I have a 55 gallon tank to run the outdrive in.

Morning guys.
Yes, I do have a boat, and hopefully it will get used alot this weekend after work tommorow.
Happy to hear that you know have oil for Tranny Fest II.
Ok I am done about that in three more times.
If you guys want to do a GTG on the lake I am in. I am only 15 miles from Lake Minnetonka as the crow flies.

Hey guys.
I am going to play devils advocate though Tom and say that I don't think anybody was bashing Brian at all. I think we were just expressing our thoughts on the subject which I am sure Brian would certainly understand. It is a frustrating situation but nobody said he wasn't handling it.
What is our plan tomorrow Dave. I work until 4:30 and I really, really, really need to mow my yard quick if possible. Maybe Lee could come over and do it for me with one of his many mowers...

Jay you are right my thoughts were there but it was written wrong. I meant to say that it won't turn into a bash fest. Nice catch.......
