Green is a hoot... you'd be going with the right group!

Chances are you could get Eli and David to go too!

Wish I where further south... :cry:

Louie,

This Sunday? I think I have to work on Sat, and leaving for QUebec on Tues, so looks doubtful, but I would really like to come. I will see what I can do and at least dream until then. Can you get some pictures?

Ronnie, don't be a pussy...you can use me Cascade if you want, or I'll use it and you can use an openboat. If you don't show up for this I'll continue to talk more large steaming pile of dog doo for a very long time....Come on, I want to see you run Gorrilla with handpaddles in the Cascade...don't be a pussy :evil: !

Will

yes I'll be in the Taureau

My only two trip last year on the green were in a Zoom so I'm really lookin foward to doin it in the creek boat. For the record in the 16 years since I first ran the Green I have never run the monkey or sunshine, and I have no intentions of doin them this Sunday, but of course on any given Sunday.............

I think I'm takin one extra open boat for some guy on BT. Except for glass C1's I think an Adam, 5.9 G Force, and an Inferred are all the plastic C1's I have. I might have a grydog burtried under the 28 other boats ( Chad had a big sale to finance his European trip and has cut deep into inventory )

well, sorry this isn't exactly about the topic . . . but i just wanted to thank our own (Not always so) "Good" Will Lyons and Craig "Smomething in the way she moves" Smerda for providing some serious smack-talking on "the other forum" in a recent thread. You guys never get that mad over here, what's the deal?? Are we not worthy of your rage?? You guys pretty much showed that poor kayaker who was boss I think! Now, me, I'm off to bash Necky on a public forum or that dreadful town of Wausau . . .

Alden,
I'm sorry to deprive you all of my unstopable and house-leveling rage ( :evil: ). Now, before I do get angry, send Necky Customer Service an email telling them what a large steaming pile of dog doo they are for discontinuing the B-lunt. Here's an unabridged copy of the reply I got when I sent my email:

"Will, I feel your pain! I felt the same way when the $%*#^*’s who make the decisions decided to cut the Looksha 2 and 3. I’ll pass your email along to the powers that be and do my best to talk some sense into them.
Thanks for the email, Andy

Isn't that awesome!!!
