No plans, no partner at this time-- there is a likelyhood I will race or volunteer- gotta cough up some of this lung butter and sharpen up my game though if I am to reach the finifsh line intact**cough!**Otherwise, it looks like she's wearing a whole new Robe! I haven't seen it since the old one was discarded...

Jonathan said...

Is lung butter code for bong resin?

South Carolina shamelessly supports Rob McFlippin to regain the title.

okay y'all .. my right hand man is not available to help me on saturday morning, which throws a wrench in the works. i need you all to weigh in on whether we race either:

(a) later in the day on Saturday
(b) early sunday

flow & weather forecast suggest saturday is the better day race, but we'd be looking at an afternoon start time.

talk to me people .. cast your vote please.

Saturday

Ok, Chris and I are in and we're gunning for the gnome as we've become somewhat attached to him over the past year.

I heard back from enough people that wanted to race SATURDAY, so we're going to meet at the takeout in Granite Falls at 1:00pm tomorrow (Saturday). Spread the word please.

We'll have quick volunteers/competitors meetings .. then it's go time. PLEASE be sensible about using the parking area at the takeout: park so as many vehicles can fit in the space as possible; do not block traffic; don't play frogger with the cars on the highway; keep your recreational substances out of sight; be courteous to the civilians; pick up after yourself.

Same goes for the put-in parking lot. Use the turn-out at the top of the hill for parking.

It's kind of difficult to do this, but let's try to attract as little attention as possible.

Got questions or concerns? Lemme know.
