Been pretty quiet here lately, rest assured DP Powell is finalizing some logistics and we should be over the major hurdles soon. More to come as always but things are looking good thus far. We will keep everyone up to date with the progress. While we are only a few months away now. Just to inspire some conversation...ideas on colors or types of shirts for this years reunion so we can start pricing, designing. I plan to make a run to Temple in Aug and see what the looks of ramp and water level are for this year as well. I will post pictures and such once I return.

ideas on colors or types of shirts for this years reunion so we can start pricing, designing.

I would like to see a short sleeve version of the shirts we have had over the last couple of years. As for colors, I would recommend white this year - as the previous 2 years were Red and Blue.

I just received the Mission Boat Gear Delta Tab from Kris Clover at Mission (1 of our sponsors this year). The idea is for this tab to make its way to ANYONE that wishes to try the Delta on there boat during the reunion. Now here is my request of those wishing to use the Delta, I have given Kris my word that I would take footage of the tab in use and behind our boats to be used at his discretion. So with permission, those wanting to use the tab I am requesting to get some footage while on your boat of the tab in use. Once I have what I need for Kris just drop me off (preferably wherever you picked me up, don't just throw me out) take the tab and put it to use, please return to me when finished or hand off to another owner if I am not there. If you get the tab from someone other than me my request is to take some video or pictures for me and email them to me with the the above info. My only request is that the tab makes it back to me at the end of the reunion so I can give Kris so reviews on the longevity and any potential wear issues.

Sponsor letters are in the mail courtousy of DP Powell, and we will keep everyone posted (gonna have a few suprises) as well. Can't wait to see everyone, and meet some new people to put faces to names.

One question.....who can cook?? Or has suggestions on food for the owners dinner? We are looking at possibly having a few owners donate a portion of their afternoon on Saturday to cook and prep food. We are still early in the planning of this but we do need to figure out if anyone is interested in this. There are other options....however we would rather not explore those unless we have no volunteers.

I swear I am not dumb. ^^^^ but posting from an IPad with autocorrect is terrible sorry for the grammatical errors.

I am definitely interested in trying out their product. I won't throw you off I'll tube you to shore. [emoji2] I can help with providing funds and time to cook food.

Over 100 potential sponsors contacted via regular and email today. As theGerman mentioned, we would really like to go the route of the BBQ - BUT we will need some help if that's the route we go. We are a little over 2 months away - here's hoping the lake fills up a little between now and then!

[chpthril]

What about Pro Tige Riders? Dominic L said he would love to come back, just needs to be done through Tige.

[throttlebody]

I would be willing to assist with the BBQ.

[Bad05]

Last I spoke with Emily, she seemed to be onboard. Of course that needs to be ran through Tige as well I assume!

[Thegerman618]

Awesome thanks throttlebody and Gil for volunteering, we are still kicking some ideas around. Our BIGGEST concern is making sure we don't impose on anyone's weekend. If we can arrange it so no one has to cook then we will certain go that route. However it becomes more efficient for us (owners) to do our own food, then we will go that route but only if all other options have been exhausted.

ChpThril- Riders are in the works! We mostly DP Powell is in high gear. We will keep everyone in the loop as things progress.

74 Days!!!

Assuming I'm able to attend, baby is due around the same time, and have no boat......I could also help out with the cooking. This of course would gain me access to a few boats when I'm not cooking....right? If Bill joins us again this year I'll recruit him to help me!

[Bad05]

Thanks Mike! We are excited!

I'm sure they would cater again but for the cost and quality of the meal, it was decided last year to do our own thing which I think most were happier with. If a few people are willing to cook and those who have the grills/smokers/etc. are willing to bring them, I still think that would be best. Last year was awesome, thanks again to Cory!

A little teaser for the day - sponsors are already committing. The raffle is looking good, and we are hoping the list only gets better. 65 Days!
