How's everybody been?  I hope everyone had a safe summer.  Things are begining to wind down here, maybe I can finally get some time off to start enjoying the toys again.  I contemplated selling the boat, hardly use it.  I took the trailer in and got it painted, recarpeted the bunks, put new lights on it and a few other things.  Then I took the boat out for a spin.  I can't sell that thing.  Things just wouldn't be right without a boat.  Maybe I'll change my mind again over the winter.  Too many toys and my car has become more of an obsession these days.  I love driving that thing.

Anyway, hope you are all well.  I gotta catch up on the posting, everyone is leaving me in their wake.

Later...

Jeff

Brings up a question. At Havi stats say 66% of arrests are CA peeps, What's the % for the lakes? It's gotta be lower.

Well after looking at all the pics of those boats you've been toting around, I might shop there for a new one.  That 22' squirter looked nice, although the twin wackers are cool too.

For Our Local Lakes?? :stupid  I'm Sure It's Lower.....

Interesting summer for me.  Early in the year, my work boat shattered a piston.  Merc 225 Offshore, usually pretty reliable with only about 200 hours and 22 months on the clock.  Anyway, in order to get the motor repaired under warranty I had to...basically get the PO from god himself.  Either that or have the county foot the bill for a new power head and labor, 8 grand.  So, what that meant for me was that my boat was out of service for most of the summer, and I worked the river, again.  Anyway, we really don't get that many "arrests" on the lakes in comparison to the river (Lower Salt River).  River squad beats the all the county lakes combined 5:1.  Out of those arrests, that is the ones on the river, about 40% are from...




Not to offend anyone here...





Tucson!!!


I guess you can pretty much do what you want in Tucson, but when they come here to tube the river, they usually get the whole experience.  That usually entails: 1) consuming WAY to much alcohol or other mind altering chemicals 2) becoming rude, obnoxious, and indecent while tubing 3) pissing someone else off who is bigger than them while committing #2. 4) getting their ass kicked by the bigger person listed in #3. 5) doing something stupid like throwing rocks at the deputies as they pass in their vehicles or boats 6) getting arrested for #5. 7) resisting arrest after their stoned self proclaimed lawyer friend tells them "this is BS Dude" 8) getting their ass kicked by the deputies in the act of #7. 9) going to jail in nothing but their shorts or a bikini (jailhouse favorite) 10) returning the next weekend to repeat steps 1-9

These are the river ratz, the lake people rarely give us any problems.  Just a dozen drownings so far this year, about a million medical calls (those new wakeboard bindings are so tight they are breaking legs right and left...literally) and a few car wreck.  Its all fun, tomorrow is the official end of summer for us  :bowdown  :bowdown  :bowdown  :bowdown  :bowdown

Good stats, funny too. I think they would be much higher if the CA river rats weren't DUI before getting to Parker and having to stop.

I figured that would wake the sleeping bear.  You don't count, you're an Apache Laker.  That's the tamest lake we've got, except Horseshoe, and that's technically a puddle.

Yeah, we saw quite a few nasty fractures, a couple of them mid-femur.  The new wakeboards have what look like snow-ski boots on them and they just don't let go.  Ouch.  Had another guy do a faceplant on a wakeboard about 2 weeks ago.  Didn't hit the board, just the water.  Last update was that he was 50/50 to live.
