Hello Deltaite's <BR> <BR>A small group of us from Seattle are going to be heading down to the Delta to visit Christie Fisher and do some riding Nov 20-21. <BR> <BR>I've been skunked the last two times I was down there, once due to timing, and the second you guys had the worst rain storm in twenty five years. This time, I don't care if there's a fricken hurricane, I'm riding the Delta. <BR> <BR>We'd love to meet some of you guys if your interested in hooking up.

hey, i wanna go! <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/lol.gif" border=0>

I'm down to hook up and bring my boat out. I'll try to coordinate with Christie as we get closer. <BR> <BR>Hit me: <BR>510.213.1820

Umali, <BR> <BR>It would be great to ride the Delta with you. My only fear is whenever your in Christie's boat, something always seems to go wrong.<img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/blush.gif" border=0> <BR> <BR>J-Rod, <BR> <BR>That sounds great, I'll give you a call when I get a chance.

that's fine. the delta isn't like seattle where it's impossible to get a pull. i'll be in someone else's boat! <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/lol.gif" border=0>

It's the curse of the Umalino!!<img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/happy.gif" border=0>

well, the curse only seems to happen when fisher and i are in the same boat. <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/angry.gif" border=0>

Umali, <BR> <BR>You never missed an invite on my boat.<img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/uhoh.gif" border=0> <BR> <BR>Why don't you drag your but up there for the weekend.

we'll see. the problem is the following weekend, which is thanksgiving weekend, the girlfriend and i are headin' up to south dakota to spend the holiday with her family. so i'm not so sure she's going to want to travel on the road one weekend, and fly the following weekend. we'll see tho.

Joe if I'm going to make the the from Vegas, the least you can do.........Or are you whipped???? <BR>J/K <BR>I'll know tomorrow if I can get the time off, right now I'm too amped right now for the Red Soxs to think of anything else

Everyone cross their fingers for perfect Delta weather for Cliff's virgin delta run (hmmmm...can Cliff and Virgin be used in the same sentence??) <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/biggrin.gif" border=0> <BR> <BR>Joe - You guys should come up, but you and I will have to ride in separate boats for sure! I know Henry probably doesn't want us in his boat together ever again!! <BR> <BR>J-Rod - shoot me an email and we will coordinate!

I'm there. I've been real busy since moving to Sacramento and would love to get back on the water that weekend. I'll either bring my boat down or talk to Mark about going out on his boat that weekend. I'm sure that Christie will be riding both days, but is there one day versus the other that everyone would like to meet up? I'm assuming that everyone will be meeting at Orwood. <BR>Let's hope for great weather that weekend. It should be fun.

JOe you can come in my new boat buddy... it wont break down

Yeah check out Mike's new Super no wonder it won't break down <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/lol.gif" border=0> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65919/197605.gif" alt=""> <BR> <BR>I might just have to roll out to the Delta for this meet and greet...of course I still do not own a boat.

You better start knocking on wood Mike.

Ja and I will also be around and can offer the X if needed for pulls. Otherwise we'll mooch off of Fisher or Marky Mark or something;-) <BR> <BR>

thanks mike!

I have the whole weekend off, but the wife might have other plans. I'll see if I can talk her into sticking around. Should I heat the hot tub?<img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/wink.gif" border=0> <BR> <BR>Mark

I might even bust the boat out of the garage for such a festive event.

WOW! <BR> <BR>No wonder you like the Delta so much Joe. It's a Boat Whore's paradise.<img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/talker.gif" border=0> <BR> <BR>Thanks for the interest folks, we're looking forward to meeting as many fellow Wakeworlder's as possible while we're down there.

I'll be there and will have my boat available if it's needed. <BR>Look forward to seeing you guys again Cliff. <BR>

Marky Mark, you don't waste any time do you? <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/rofl.gif" border=0> <BR> <BR>Christie, you may want to warn the Seattle crew about what goes on at Mark's! <BR>

Mark's house = drunk people. <BR>Mark's hot tub = Naked people! <BR>Naked people = ??? <BR> <BR>

Ol' doc sure would be appreciative if anybody has room for one more. New job's been keeping me busy, so I'd love to get out and see everybody!! Thanks, ya'll!!

wakeworld members = married couples (lots of 'em anyway)

Doc. You're more than welcome on my boat for this trip. <BR> <BR>We're riding tomorrow too if you want to come out. <BR> <BR>5102131820

I didn't realize that married people didn't drink or get naked, my bad. Oh wait, I'm a married person, Hmmmmm...

I just drink thank you very much...

Hey, <BR> <BR>Doesn't the same saying apply while visiting the Delta that applies when one is in Vegas???<img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/wink.gif" border=0> <BR> <BR>Christie, <BR> <BR>Should I bring my fire jumping gear?

Hey Cliff, is the Chicken going to the Delta too?<img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/blush.gif" border=0>

Joe: <BR> <BR>"wakeworld members = married couples (lots of 'em anyway)" <BR> <BR>That includes you now almost. Going back east to meet the family is a pretty big step! Next thing you know there will be little Umali Groms rollin around! Lol!

uh, i don't see no ring on her finger! <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/lol.gif" border=0> <BR> <BR>your right rob...what was i thinkin'...it's absolutely cool for married people to get nekked with other people. it's when people start throwin' lines, then there's a problem. lines, such as, "hey...you got it goin' on!" <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/lol.gif" border=0><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/rofl.gif" border=0>

Cliff - The fire jumping gear was really cool for sure, but I think it is time to think of a new line. I'm sure you have one in you!

J-Rod, <BR>Thanks, man! That would be way cool. I'll give you a call closer to the time. It will be a fun day for sure with all the regulas plus the Seattle boys.

Id like to go out, sounds like a good time.

It was beautiful yesterday at Ultimate Water Sports demo day. Water temp was 62, air temp was 68. Both will probably drop another 5 in the next couple weeks, unless we have a hot spell.

Kevin, you're welcome on my boat too. I left you a message Friday.

Mike, <BR> <BR>I'll ride like I've died, and gone to heaven if those are the conditions when we're down there.<img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/biggrin.gif" border=0> <BR> <BR>We rode Saturday afternoon, Water 52, air 50, and we considered it a warm day for this time of year.

Joe it depends who you ask....... <BR> <BR>By Joe Umali (dakid) on Thursday, October 28, 2004 - 11:31 pm: <BR> <BR>wakeworld members = married couples (lots of 'em anyway) <BR> <BR>

<BR> <BR>YO CLIFF - Hey if ya all have some extra time come on over to Healdsburg &amp; I will put ya all up on my houseboat on Lake Sonoma. <BR> <BR><a href="mailto:Mike@wakeon.com">Mike@wakeon.com</a>

I'll be seeing you guys Friday night

it all depends on the weather now. if it's dry, we're there.

Anyone have room?

Of course we have room, Arun. Shoot me an email.

we're debating whether to take off thursday night or friday morning. would anyone wanna go on friday, as well?

that saturday is Big Game, but i could bring the boat out sunday if people are interested in riding...?

wes, 1 word...tivo!

Joe - two words <BR> <BR>MEMORIAL STADIUM

I flew over the delta yesterday... If you guys make it out there make sure to be SUPER careful.. there was so much plant debris and who knows what else floating along all over, esp. Victoria, Union Pt., Disco area.

wes, 3 words...they will lose! <BR> <BR>muhahahahaha!!!! <BR> <BR>jk!

Matt: There was a lot of debris in the Delta yesterday. It was an obstacle course. But, it was butter all day! <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/biggrin.gif" border=0> <BR> <BR>Arun. You're welcome on my boat too.

Mike, <BR> <BR>I only have Friday night, and Saturday to ride. I won't be able to make it over to your neck of the woods this time. I'll see ya at Shasta 05, we've got our reservations for the week 07/11-07/15 this year.

cliff, not riding on sunday???

Look like I won't be able to make it this weekend. Something important has come up. <BR> <BR>Doc and Cliff: Sorry for the inconvenience.

Cliff, <BR> <BR>My boat is going in the shop this Wednesday but I would like to hook up. If anyone has some room, it would be appreciated. However, there is an off chance that I'll be headed to Tahoe for the weekend. Wont know until later in the week. <BR> <BR>Hope all is well. For me, things have never been better, <BR> <BR>-Matt <BR>

might be foggy in the mornings, but it's supposed to be in the mid 60's and sunny in stockton this weekend. yippeee!!!!!

Matt, <BR> <BR>I'll call ya Friday to see what's up. <BR> <BR>Joe, <BR> <BR>I might just be trunkin it if the weather is that nice.<img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/biggrin.gif" border=0>

Where is everyone launching at

Cliff/Jeff - <BR> <BR>I hope you guys have fun down. I will surely miss going out with you guys on Saturday. Get lots of riding in. <BR> <BR>At least Brad has meds to make it through the nice weather this weekend here in Seattle without going out on the boat. <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/happy.gif" border=0> Maybe he can share some with me to help me get through it. <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/rofl.gif" border=0> I will be here dreaming of that w2w I still haven't made.

kev, we'll either launch out of stockton or orwood.

OOh...OOOh...OOh <BR> <BR><a href="http://www.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/findweather/getForecast?query=stockton%2BCa" target="_blank">http://www.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/findweather/getForecast?query=stockton+Ca</a>. <BR> <BR>I'm finally going to get to ride the Delta.<img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/talker.gif" border=0>

you better hope wind doesn't pick up.

No thermals this time of year. I'v done my homework.<img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/proud.gif" border=0>

hahahaha! just messin' with you.

Our weatherman announced this morning that it is going to be WINDY but clear this weekend. Let's hope he is WRONG on the windy part <IMG SRC="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/happy.gif" ALT=":-)" BORDER=0> <BR>

We better bring plenty of liquor. Depending on which forecast you believe, calling for 9-16 mph winds out of Brentwood. That's usually enough to keep me home even in the summer, but oh well, have to suck it up when the Seattle crew is in town!

<blockquote><hr size=0><!-quote-!><font size=1><b>quote:</b></font><p>That's usually enough to keep me home even in the summer<!-/quote-!><hr size=0></blockquote> <BR> <BR>please, let there be 9-16mph winds!!! <BR> <BR>just kidding doc! hope to see some of your sick riding out there.

ok, i'm assuming everyone's meeting at orwood? what time?

We can't make it on Saturday but will be heading out Sunday. I know Christie plans on heading out Sunday, will anyone else be out on Sunday? We'll be in our boat, full crew:-) <BR> <BR>Cliff, R U riding Sunday too? I hope to meet you guys...

well, i just got some bad news. henry's my pull and lodging for this weekend. but his mom went in to the hospital and had emergency surgery yesterday, so he's comin' down here to see her. <BR> <BR>anyone have room for 2? if not, no big deal. we'll hook up next time. <BR> <BR>thanks.

ok, disregard request. i'm going to stay here. if my friend needs me, i want to be around for him, my best friend in the world. <BR> <BR>flame on. call me "no show joe" or whatever.

Saturday at Orwood at 9:00 a.m. Sunday, we haven't set a time yet. <BR> <BR>Joe, send my love to Hen-Dawg and let him know that I hope is Mom is OK.

Yes, Joe tell Hen-Dawg I will say a pray for his mom.

henry said thanks! <BR> <BR>got an update. hen-dawg's mom's doing ok. she's able to talk to hubby and family. they took out an 8' section of her colon. liver seems to be a concern right now, but no definite diagnosis yet. doc said she's ok, but not completely out of the woods. <BR> <BR>pray for mom-dawg.

Oh, you make funny joke... I get it!! Ha Ha<img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/wink.gif" border=0> <BR> <BR>My thoughts go out to Henry's mom and the whole fam. Here's to a strong recovery!

Good luck with the wind guys. I just heard something about 35mph gusts on the AM news. Hopefully those gusts don't hit the delta.

It's supposed to calm down on Sunday.

Hopefully you're right and this is wrong: <BR> <BR><a href="http://www.crh.noaa.gov/forecasts/CAZ007.php?warncounty=CAC013&amp;city=Brentwood" target="_blank">http://www.crh.noaa.gov/forecasts/CAZ007.php?warncounty=CAC013&amp;city=Brentwood</a> <BR>

Worse case, we can all meet up for lunch and kick it:-) <BR> <BR>Who did the wind dance?

I'm showing winds at 10-15 for Saturday. That's not bad. You'll find plenty of good places to ride. <BR> <BR>Christie and Cliff, thanks for trying to hook me up but I have a rather full weekend. Next time. Hopefully, that will be at Shasta Lake some time this summer. <BR> <BR>Have a great trip. Enjoy the water! <BR> <BR>Best regards, <BR> <BR>Matt Paquette
