Nope...Due to the week delay in returning from FL, we will be in OH that weekend. Just changed the date from the weekend before to the weekend of the 15th. Can't change it again...

Do you mean I have to share a boat with $pare again? I am not sure I can handle it!

I know he really did get out of hand didn't he? Maybe he will behave this time with Katie there!

Captain Bob · Post by **Captain Bob** » Fri Apr 16, 2010 8:51 pm

Excellent way to kick off the season!

And it's nice that one of our premier marinas has taken the lead (again -wink, wink) to host a "forum party" that everyone can attend --without the drama (can I mention that word here?) that occurred previously.

Thanks to all who are involved in the planning

Does that mean that you and Mrs. Captain will be joining us?

bubbles · Post by **bubbles** » Sat Apr 17, 2010 12:14 am

Sounds like a great time and it is my sat/sun wknd off. Hopefully (and it should at this time of the year) the weather will be much better than last fall. Can't wait!

Rooster, that is very generous of you and I honestly hope that Mrs Captain and I will be able to visit and meet you and your crew sometime soon. As you may know, Mrs. Captain is not well and this has not only been a factor our getting out of boating a few years back and me taking a less active role in these forums but it keeps us pretty close to home most of the time. I regret that we will not be able to attend the Forum Party.

Let me say here publicly that I honestly look forward to meeting _____ and Rooster. There was a time many years ago on that same forum when two other "characters" and "Captain Bob" were ...well... not real friendly. An opportunity arose where the three of us were able to meet face-to-face and it surprised all of us that none of us actually had horns coming out of our heads. Using our "real world" names and just being ourselves, we got over the initial apprehension and --the rest is history. I was proud to meet them and introduce them to my wife and even today, I consider both of them good friends and I would do anything for them. I won't mention names but many of you know them.

MY POINT IS THIS: Forum parties, raft-ups, get-togethers of any sort are wonderful opportunities to meet the person behind the forum name. I can't say that opinions will always be changed but, when you can just chat and learn more about folks, you will really enjoy the Lake Cumberland experience a lot more.

Now, back to the Forum Party information...

We have met a few times. I guess that goes to show our personalities just don't jive because I remember it well. We don't see eye to eye. Which is cool with me. It was not meant for everyone in this world to get along. And I wish your better half the best. But for you to say you have taken a less active roll in lc.com (yeah we're allowed to mention other sites here) is just funny. In fact you have taken a proactive roll. WTF

TheOneAndOnlyROOSTER · Sun Apr 18, 2010 8:23 am

Yes I too wish Mrs. Capt. the best... Sorry to hear you can't make it, but I can understand why!!!
I've got lots to do before this weekend, like bring the Mirage home and get it ready for the summer... My kids' Bball team that I am coaching has raken alot of my weekend time that I usually have to get my boats ready...

Heard back from Debbie at State dock, boatel rates will be posted Monday or Tuesday

Should be close to what they were at the last forum party.

Great news but I'm just glad I don't need one this yr.

I just have to walk/stumble 10 miles to get to my boat.

Actually for what I paid for my slip, it's a bunch more than the cost of a boatel .

But it will be worth it for all the other events,,,I guess.

I hope to enjoy the one yr I will be at State.

I used my GPS and it's .6 miles from there to land, so I'm guessing you're looking at a half mile walk!!!

Heck, that is at LEAST 7 minutes at a good pace....

Maybe someone will give you a ride in their boat to yours...

stop by Just Chilins, drink a cold one or two, and then you can continue on your journey to your boat.

I am getting grief from the mother of my four (4) children; so, I may not make it. Someone, please take plenty of pictures though of the band. Get to know those guys - they are a lot of fun with a lot of stories. Hopefully, they bring the one and only "Dale Baker" with them. I guarantee the music will continue onto their boatal late into the evening.
