Jeff, this picture was taken on one of our cruises to Lake City. As for where the boat is normally, that would be Bayport.

 

 

Ahhh, the St Croix. :rolleyes: I am sure I have seen it many times then as I spend all summer on the St Croix. Usually between Hudson and Prescott and many days at Kinnikinnic.

 

Well that's awesome Jeff I'm out there quite often myself, what boat are you usually in out there? We used to go to kinni all the time until we upgraded from the 30 footer. GREAT BEACH! We currently go to catfish and high line through the St. Croix Yacht Club. The boats name is Carpe Diem in case you see One like us. There are only 2-3 466 MY's out there but there are a ton of 396 MY's to so that's how you will know it's us! If you see us give us a holler! My dad's name is Brad Btw.....Maybe well see you out there Jeff!

Carpe Diem, yep, I've seen that boat several times.

 

I'm still in a little boat (see above), but hoping to upgrade to a cruiser in the next few years. I spend most of my time in my floatie-chair with a cold one in the cupholder anyway. :cheers:

 

Ever go to any of Gary's partys? www.garysnextparty.com

 

Here is a pic from last year:

Can't say I have been to any of those parties, haven't been a kinni goer in awhile....sold the 30 footer back in 99 :rolleyes:. Yeah i think there is only one other carpe diem out there, Silverton of some sort....well anywho smaller runabouts are a great time! We had a 21 ft sea ray back in the early '90s and it was some of the best times of my life. But hey it's great to see someone else that enjoys the river as much as me! I know i wouldn't change growing up on the river for anything!

Garys river parties are usually in Hudson. He will be having another 4th of July "Red, White and Blues" one this year (see his website). Put it on your schedule, they are a great time. :rolleyes:

My roommate has a 25ft Sea Ray, and we go to this little party called Jobbie Nooner on Lake St. Clair. It's absolutely insane. Check out the website and you get an idea. You can also do a video search on it to see some rather interesting things.

You can see my boat in my signature pic.

 

With the gas prices last year only hit the St. Croix one weekend, hoping to do a few more trips this year.

Do any of you boat? Lets see some pics of what you run?

 

The first couple pics are of my old boat. It was a 16' Checkmate with a 200 Merc on it. best it ran was 82 on GPS.

 

The next set is of my current boat. Its a 21' Mate. Not as fast but just as fun.

      Not sure about DFM tech but i know there's a stop/start deactivation button.

      I could be interested if they axed cylinder deactivation and at least have a button for stop start. I’m sure the HP numbers will be higher. I would want a longer warranty to help build confidence. I’m a less is more guy as I get older. A V-8 work truck model would be my choice. I know a few outfitters for custom additions I prefer.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Zane · Posted

      It's official. GMC pulled the covers off the next-gen 2027 Sierra 1500, and we got the first official look. Full breakdown here: https://www.gm-trucks.com/next-gen-2027-gmc-sierra-1500-v8-trim-changes/   The quick hits: SLE and SLT are dead. The new core retail trim is just called "Elevation". Two new V8s, a 5.7L and a 6.6L built with high-performance Corvette architecture roots. No horsepower or torque numbers yet. The 2.7 TurboMax finally ditches the old gearbox and gets the 10-speed automatic. AT4X moves to larger standard 35-inch tires with front and rear e-lockers, Multimatic DSSV dampers, and heavy-duty Jounce Control Dampers. Over 60 inches of combined display on Denali Ultimate and AT4X, complete with a motorized articulating center screen and an adaptive passenger screen. Seven simplified trims across the entire model line to clean up ordering confusion.   So let's get into it: New 5.7L and 6.6L gas V8s with custom active exhaust tuning and a Corvette connection. Is this the exact engine lineup half-ton traditionalists have been begging for? Purging the iconic SLE and SLT names after all these years to lean entirely on Elevation as the high-volume core. Bold move, or a mistake? That motorized articulating 16.3-inch screen that slides up to reveal a hidden dashboard vault. Awesome mechanical theater, or does it make you nervous about long-term durability? Physically lowering the headlamps in the front fascia to improve road courtesy and stop blinding oncoming traffic. Smart real-world engineering, or does it hurt the truck's aggressive stance? What trim are you putting your name down for on day one? Drop your first impressions below.

      My overnight hospital stay turned into five.  I developed a post operative fever and an erratic  heart rate.  A blood clot in the lungs was the culprit.  This is apparently a common post surgical complication and easily remedied.   I was the youngest in a four bed ward and a Doctor with a Geriatric specialization was in charge of my care.  All of the nurses were good and some were outstanding at dealing with old people.  It was very evident that my age triggered a different level of care!  My advice to any senior going for a hospital stay is to have a trusted family member advocate visible.  If not, you will still be well cared for, but you may discover that your voice  isn't as strong as it once was!
