[Blue Oval]

FU, I ain't do'n no single file!!! I don't take orders from U punk!!!!:nutkick:ev1l danc

You get your big red azz through the parade lap you can do what ever you want. I am thinking if we get all the boats close to the ladder truck camera, Randy can peace in the parade lap between other shots and make sure he gets each boat in the video! Just a thought.

[Blue Oval]

https://youtu.be/-898l3Dcgno Chris that did this video would like to get in a spectators boat outside the channel this year for his video. If anyone reading this is going to be there as a spectator and would let him aboard let me know. Thanks

I'll keep my ear out!!

The new Marshall boat for in front of the channel. The Baia Yacht with the Arneson drives took over as the enforcer to keep the channel clear. It is the boat from Bay Harbor that hung out with us at the Marshall Boat Party last year. Not the actual picture of his boat, but very close.

[snowhammer]

That thing was impressive!

[Scarab KV]

Bob, is an entrant allowed to change boats on the registration?
Thought I seen something on the site awhile back stating that it wasn't allowed, but now can't find it.

[Blue Oval]

I would guess that note would be so you don't hand your spot over to someone without going through waiting list. If it is a different boat owned by you, I would think you would be fine. Call Lori at 231-582-9009 and let me know.

That's what I was thinking too, but couldn't find it when I went back to re read it.

Thursday lunch run information

First the Thursday lunch run is not an official part of Boyne Thunder but a fun event none the less. Boats will be meeting and leaving round lake at 1130 Thursday July 9th to head up to Bay Harbor. Merril Lynch has sponsored a lunch at the Bay Harbor yacht club and you must have already registered by now. For those not registered then the plan is to go to Knot just a Bar also at Bay Harbor. Both groups will leave Round Lake at 1130. Everyone is welcome, the only tickets needed are if your attending the Yacht Club lunch. Lots of fun!

Got a call from the Parade Committee , seems the Boyne Thunder boat is going to be in front of the parade this year! Gotta love a little respect from your home town!

[Blue Oval]

I can get my own Bacardi Rum. Across the street from the Boyne City Marina. Sorry only outside storage.

[Blue Oval]

Riggs made it a week. The only problem he had at the end of the week was his Chitty truck. I had to tow it in with my Ranger!:rollsmile:laff

[DocktorsOarders!]

That's all im looking for is outdoor. Secured but outdoor is fine. If you know of anything then pass it on! I will try Irish's and see what they say...

[phragle]

Time to look for another job after BT....

The 4th is my summer holiday to work..no big, vacation/BT next week...

Anyways, on the monthly schedule and on todays day sheet as of 6 am today was my holiday day off.

So I was rather surprised when my phone rang at 10:45pm and a girl from work asking me where I was...

They decided to change the schedule and add me to it sometime during the day and sent me a text at 2 in the afternoon telling me. I work midnights, 2 in the afternoon is my 2 am, I was sleeping...

This is total bullcrap.....

[Scarab KV]

Maybe a job at a nursing home?
Wrink's generation needs a good man

It lists this year as the 12th

[rschap1]

Hope it is a great event for everyone.
Got a wild idea of running up with son and his friend last night, last minute.
Son's friend's family has a cabin across from the mountain, so we were set for accommodations.
Started making a couple calls and sending emails to get in on the champagne cruise like we did a few years back.
A few minutes later get email, full up sorry.
That is what I get for screwing around until last minute.
We pull the plug and stay home.
Get home from morning run and another email.
2 cancellations and we could have got squeezed in:(
I should have took a chance and drove up last night.
Appreciate everyone's replies last night and today.
Wish everyone a great SAFE time.
Good luck ! ! !
Have fun.
I better start planning my $hi+ sooner:)

[Blue Oval]

Business owners on Lake St are always upset because no one wants to park on their end of the street. Just a thought, let's park sponsors on Water St and have a Fountain Friday party on Lake St. Get the 2 47's down there along with a handful more of them and make it a party. Maybe the real Reggie will come hang if we ask nice??

Boyne Thunder and Boyne City Main Street representatives presented checks to two charities at Tuesday's Boyne City Commission meeting. "We are very honored today to present checks to Camp Quality in the amount of $56,625.28 and to Challenge Mountain in the amount of $10,300.42," said Bob Alger, Boyne Thunder Committee Chair. "We are proud to be able to support the great work that they do."
Pictured from left are Main Street Executive Director Lori Meeder, Camp Quality executive director Kristyn Balog, Bob Alger, and Challenge Mountain executive director Elizabeth Looze. Meeder told the City Commission that "Boyne Thunder 2015 was another resounding success. Total revenue and boater participation in 2015 was up 10% over prior year." Based on a survey of the 108 participants, there were many wonderful comments about the event - with the common theme being the welcoming nature of the people and the community. "I would like to acknowledge the dedicated volunteers who literally provide thousands of hours of work to pull off this extraordinary event," Meeder said. "I would also like to thank Bob Alger for his thoughtful and steady leadership of this event. He keeps all the pieces and parts of this moving forward in a flawless manner throughout the year and I am amazed by his dedication."

[Blue Oval]

A big than you to all of you that make this event happen! Without all of your support this event would not happen!!
