@RiverRat are those water temps or air temps you posted?

 

[RiverRat]

Water. Gotta kick down a few feet to get to reasonably cool water.

Getting really excited. As we are packing, I was wondering if there are laundry machines at Lithia or do we need to bring extra boat towels?

Wouldn't hurt to call, but I thought they did have some sort of laundry onsite.

New to the group.
We've got 7 heading down on Friday. I haven't looked through ALL the previous posts but it looks like it's gonna be good time. We're gonna stay at Opossum Creek campground for the weekend. We tried to get a cabin but they laughed at me and said they are booked for the summer. Better luck next year I guess.
So where can we find the agenda for the weekend?

I am still planning on being in Shelbyville.... I do so hope it is with the boat.

I had a check engine light come on for the port engine. Took it to service - Code obtained - Bad O2 sensor. Sensor is covered under the YES warranty. New sensor placed on order. At first it was back ordered, now it is no longer on back order but they can't find its location. It's "Lost" ....... I am told I'll have the boat back by Tuesday, if so a trial run Wednesday and away we go Thursday night / Friday AM (whenever we decide to pull out) we'll get there Friday (hopefully with Boat in Tow). Not having good customer service with the boat dealer.

Woo hoo. Have the boat back from the shop. New O2 sensor installed. One quick lake check to confirm all is right. Now time to start preparing. Lots to do. Where to begin???

All, just wanted to reach out and see who else had kids in the 8 to 13 age range. We have three (girls) coming with in that range and they are always up for making new friends.

I've got my 6 year old daughter who seems to think she's 13 with me,(and my 4 year old son) and my wife's 15 and 16 year old cousins will be here starting tomorrow.

Can some Midwest locals fill me in on the forecast?? It doesn't look good over the gathering with thunderstorms. Is boating a bust when it gets like that?? @007 @jcyamaharider @OperationROL

 

[mattschepker]

@bobbie........ NEVER. We don't like to talk about the 4 letter word that starts with r and ends with n. The St Louis crew has adopted marks ( @ar240owner ) motto. what ever the % of the wet stuff the other% is awesomeness. Example 20% wet 80% awesomeness. we like to think positive.

Forecast looks good. Shows "thunderstorms in spots" on Thursday and Friday. Nothing to worry about. It will be great!

My girls are 8 and 12 Tad. They will have plenty of new friends.

Got a bimini? Then rain is fun if in short bursts!
Got atower? Then severe lightning is not so fun.
We got off water yesterday in Kentuck because there was starting to be a LOT of lightning and we were 45 minutes out so we didn't want to get caught up in something.
We don't worry about weather TOO much on these lakes, just find a cove and weather it out!

@bobbie We're bringing a couple board games just in case we get a rain delay.
