Ladies & Gents,

I guess I was number 3 or 4 over here, but never posted a proper hello… most of you know me somewhat. I have an awesome wife, two rocking' little ladies, and we are on our second Yamaha. I love burning JP8, currently the government type, eventually back to the airline type. Happy to be here and see a bunch of familiar faces.

My dad should be on shortly too, n1agh. He has an 08 limited.

Pray for rain in North Texas!!

Hello everyone,

I live in Bulverde, TX which is a bit North of San Antonio. My wife and I have an '08 232 Limited. Our son is jawsf16. We have made it to a couple of gatherings at Lake Texoma with him and his family and met several other Yamaha owners. Canyon Lake is the closest for us, but it is still about 8 feet low which makes it marginal for safe launching at the ramps still open. Lake LBJ, an hour away, is the next closest and us a constant level lake. Hope to meet more of you this year.

Man, it's like a reunion! All the names from the past keep popping up.

I hear you 'bout the rain brother, I've been praying all year. It's not as much fun walking across the Colorado river as it i

Welcome to both of you! We're praying for rain here in drought stricken Cali. Looks like we might get a bit this week...we shall see though.

Cheryl, Trust me....since I was enjoying this top-down weather we've been having so much, the rain makers looked down and decided to wipe the smile off my face. It will rain and it will rain hard. Hope your wiper blades are in good condition! :cool:

Now, if the weather will just move east through Texas, our friends may see some of it!

Travis,

@jawsf16 - that was the intent of getting the flag! That way whoever knew us on the lake could find us easy. Not many run with a flag. But, those who do, I am the only one that I have seen with a red pirate flag.
