....or at least a CChat forum get together this summer.

I’m ready for a get together! My son and I just brought in a fresh keg of Deschutes Fresh Squeezed yesterday and maybe 100 White Claws on hand.

I also have a 300 gallon fuel tank with hose getting delivered next week with the gas prices so low. I was sharing a tank with my next door neighbor but his 300 gallon tank was not enough for both of us. We’re buying a new dock to set up right on the property line for easy refueling.

Wait...you can do that?

Beautiful color combo! Makes me want to change my R5’s boring white with navy accent. I’m quarantining at the lake 5 days a week

What in retirement is there only 5 days? What happened to the other 2?
Where do you go to get them back? Life is Already too short!

Yep, perfectly legal in this county and the tank only needs to be double walled if it is for commercial and over 1000 gallons. I don’t even need a permit.

Love those views. My wife’s corporate HQ is in Minnetonka. We’ve discussed moving that way when the time is right.

Lol, my wife is still working so I’m being a good husband and making my way back to Minneapolis on Mondays for less than 48 hours. My 22 year is having none of that and stays at the lake 7 days a week. My wife and two daughters arrive on Thursdays and leave on Sunday night. Complicated I know but all worth it for the views at the lake.

No I get it. That's awesome. Never knew you had a place in town and she worked there. For some reason I was thinking she still worked in Cali?

Luckily we are out of Cali for good. Our home in Minneapolis is only 2.1 miles from my wife’s work. In 3 years my youngest will be done with high school and will sell that house and be at the lake from May through October. Right now it’s only a 2:10 drive so we’ll sleep at the lake home about 70 days in the next 4 months.

Yea that's sweet! I didn't relize how far away gull Lake is. Wow over 6 hours from here.

Pulled mine out for a bit of sun. Give her a treat to some driveway boating. First 2020 Corona start of the year.

Got the R5 out today. Charged the batteries, cleaned inside and out and put on the travel covers on, ready to go. I only have to go 300 miles to find a lake that is open and above 60 degrees.

Great to see so many boats coming out of hibernation...with pictures!!!

My wife’s corporate HQ is in Minnetonka as well, she’s at UnitedHealthcare. We struggle a bit with the winters In February and March after being in California for 20 years but overall we LOVE being back in Minnesota and being only two hours from our lake home. Minneapolis is a great city on so many levels and in a few years we will be wintering in south Florida and have year round warm weather for boating and just being outside.

Lake Powell is 400 miles away and its only open to people that store their boats within 20 miles of the lake.
