Re: Who is serious about attending Spinner_bait Nut's iboats get together

i ran the #'s on mileage for Osage area. as b4 imma micro peon, but since no locations have been posted (ok, no single location), that's what i looked at. it listed motor lodges. a resort is fine with me too. as long as i'm not paying resort prices ;) <br /><br />i shot email to the mrs...don't it bite when you talk more in email than person... anyhoo, i think by her its pretty safe, although i will hafta pay later in clothing, jewelry, resorts, disney world, children's clothing, big fat dodge pymts, etc...<br /><br />i've got it! how bout this? you list some tangible expenses... so far, i'm ok with the following. ( if so far i see the appropriation committee shelling out) @ 50gals of petro=$80-90. and $75/nt x 2 housing=$150. food=$50. good est=$300 avg... i can handle it. can i splurge my vac time, and leave honey at home, with tinytot? that's the major drawback.<br /><br />i dare say, that time/money is a factor, but we'd hafta get everyone together- on a friggin boat dammit! someone's gotta have a floatation device big enuff for the poundage..... so what are the houseboats looking like? ;) :D <br /><br />don't get me wrong, i got 7yrs seniority in a 3yr old company, with lots of vac time, but since we gotta child, it gets donated pretty heavily in advance...

I am trying to get it pinned down to the Big Niangua arm of the lake.<br /><br />It is on the south side and they say the "quiet" part of the lake.<br /><br />Will keep you posted and will put up some info in a little bit.

Would love to attend but have other comitments just at that time, ie, a fishing trip with my Dad and group of regulars we go with. However, if there is anything I could do to support the effort please let me know.

Don't count me out but don't count me in either. I can't realy make plans this far in advance but if pressed I would have to say most likely I will not be going. I am going to try to work it out but with everything else we don't usually go much futher than about a 6hr breakneck speed drive away. This is due to my mother's and father's health.

Just cant see fit to go there and spend American dollars.( no offence Nosleep, Magster and Miloman) Anyhow this free's up some time so when you get the packet together Spinner send one my way.<br /><br />----------------<br />Flathead

Re: Who is serious about attending Spinner_bait Nut's iboats get together

Just a thought, but is it possible to split the regions up. Say one get together in the North East, one in the South East, one in the Central, etc. and have them on different dates?<br /><br />Only able to get weekends off, so I can't stray very far from home......SS

I'd put my odds of being there at 75% (with boat and wife). We'll spend night(s) aboard, on the hook.

Re: Who is serious about attending Spinner_bait Nut's iboats get together

Alhonna's got my vote cause they allow pets, so that means somebody could bring SLOOPY the iboats pet.. :D Just kidding Sloopy ol' buddy.. :p <br /><br />Seriously.. Alhonna looks like a nice place with plenty of opprotunities for amusement (boat rentals, watersking, fishing) and the rates aren't too bad either...<br /><br />It is an interesting idea, but I don't think the houseboat thing would "fly", so to speak.. I dunno?

Hmm, I'm a ways away but if you had something in the San Juan islands I'd likely be there.

Alhonna looks good from this end. The rates are reasonable, a definite plus, and the location looks great.

Re: Who is serious about attending Spinner_bait Nut's iboats get together

i imagine many will bring their boats, which is a good thing. but for those who don't, knowing we'd have a houseboat to at least ride out on would be nice. i guess maybe multiple houseboats might be needed, according to everyone not bringing a boat. i've got cleared on going, if i can save enough change :D <br /><br />but that's if not taking the boat and wife's transportation(tow vehicle)... i know, we're on a boating forum, and it would seem a get together would be a boat showing, but i would only be going to meet others. if i ride on the water, catch fish, great. if i can chat, goof-off, and get a laugh or two, that's what its all about- to me ;)
