Boom! If you ain't first your last!

Getting skis to the launch will be easy, the yard is alot less steep than the pictures looked. Doesn't look like stands are going to work so plan to bring anchors. I've got a few and rope with a bunch of clips.

Nice. You guys hanging out at the house today? Not sure if we should either stop there first after check in or hit the landing bar for a late lunch and some beers.

Any idea how many of there will be Sat night? I am going to get chicken at Costco. I will get enough for about 30 people. I can always use it at our Memorial Day throwdown in a week. Does that sound like a plan? Maybe I'll bring down some burgers too.
 
[MENTION=69521]soccerdad[/MENTION] there was a lowes right off the exit to the landing. I got everything but a staple gun and hand saw.
 
Ok so l am trusting that all of you who are attending the meet this weekend cut the grass before you left.
Just in case a couple of you didn't...go back and do it before any riding!!! Lol just kidding.

I hope all you have a great weekend and please be safe on the water, as well as, driving.

Well, the extra weight is one. My jet ski trailer is designed more for newer skis, and if I fill up the skis and all the canisters, the tongue weight goes up at least 100lbs. Hard as hell to lift onto the ball. The boat actually holds over 200lbs of fuel, so that makes a considerable difference. Then you're driving with that much more fuel, all of it sloshing and evaporating. On a hot day, I've had one can blow off the cap. I've also had one of my skis barf gasoline out of its gas cap. Found out that it was cracked that day. On my boat, if I fill it all the way, it will actually spew some fuel out of the vent. I've since learned to go very easy on the pump nozzle for the last few gallons so as to not make a mess. I'm pretty sure that driving the boat with a full tank makes some of the fuel spill out of the vent. I'll find the side a little slick upon arriving at the ramp. I'll fill it up at the best price around town, but not before a 2+ hr drive. For that, I'll try to keep it as empty as possible. But that's just my .02 ;)

Well racerxxx, you bit....
Ummm wow.
 
Damn that sucks. We just got here. Some lady downstairs was like uhhhh you're staying here? We said yeah, but now we're concerned.
