A little fun this weekend - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

BLUE THUNDER · 05-04-2010, 07:38 PM

I've been waiting for this day for nearly 6 months. I couldn't take it anymore so I decided to take my two favorite toys and kiddos to the lake. Here are some pics.

BLUE THUNDER · 05-04-2010, 07:43 PM

And a couple more......

bouncytruck · 05-04-2010, 08:09 PM

AWSOME! Nothing like spending time with the kids and the toys!

FRENCHBLUE72 · 05-04-2010, 08:09 PM

Very cool....

Big Block · 05-04-2010, 08:22 PM

Looks like fun. The look on your face says it all! Looks like the girls had fun too.

BLUE THUNDER · 05-04-2010, 08:34 PM

There's nothing like being out on the water. I can't wait to do it again. That was the second time I have used the Blazer to tow the boat. The temps hardly get out of the cold with the aluminum radiator and the new u-joints seemed to work great. The lake was really low last summer, in most places you needed a 4x4 to launch and pull out. Ol' Yeller pulled it out no problem. Luckily, with all the spring rain that we had it has risen about 30'.

Big Block · 05-04-2010, 08:58 PM

I glad somebody getting rain we sure arn't. 3" low for the year already and not looking good at all. Had to start watering the garden already.

blazin · 05-04-2010, 09:03 PM

do you have a hidin hitch on the blazer?

BLUE THUNDER · 05-04-2010, 10:43 PM

I have a vintage Draw-Tite hitch. A couple of pics of it on my other thread "my build story and i'm sticking to it." @ Big Block: Yeah the rain is nice, Last year I think we had 178 days consecutive w/o rain. That was a rough summer.

Longblock · 05-04-2010, 11:16 PM

Keep on Trucking Mario........

Critter · 05-04-2010, 11:54 PM

Looks nice! I took the boat to Medina this past Saturday, it was good to see some water in it. Lots of debris though, we were dodging logs left and right!

Blizz · 05-05-2010, 03:13 AM

thanks for the invite.

Jtrux · 05-05-2010, 10:00 PM

I'm jealous!

BLUE THUNDER · 05-06-2010, 12:30 AM

Guys, this weekend? Critter and Blizz, you free?????? Let me know. I'll prob be at the lake if y'all wanna come. More pics to come.

70k5pk · 05-08-2010, 11:01 PM

I thought that looked like Medina. It really cooled off today but was a hot one yesterday. One of these days my K5 will be ready and we need to get together.

Dusty71blazer · 05-09-2010, 12:47 PM

ahhh soon!
looking forward to boating season!!!!

Glad you had fun!

2003 silverado · 05-09-2010, 01:16 PM

Nice toys

Cap'n Hook · 05-09-2010, 01:51 PM

Nice blazer & boat. Does the blazer pull it ok with the short wheelbase? I was wondering how the Medina was doing. Haven't been there in about 3 years! It was way too low last year. Hopefully we will get more rain to continue to clean it out, but as of now, it's not looking good for the next 10 days or so.

Not sure which weekend you are talking about (maybe today!), but I'm pretty booked up between weddings, wedding showers, baby showers, etc for the next few weeks. Thats why we went last weekend when we had a little time. I will let you know if something changes.

BLUE THUNDER · 05-10-2010, 11:41 PM

Thanks for the looks guys. I really enjoy family time, the Blazer, ant the boat. @ Capn: the Blazer pulls the boat great. I have yet to feel any instability due to the short wheel base. You are def invited to the next Blazer/Jimmy meet in San Antonio. Btw, it's gonna be soon. Anyone else is more than welcome too.

**Yukon Jack** · 05-11-2010, 05:28 PM

Putting the K5 to good use!

BLUE THUNDER · 05-12-2010, 12:38 AM

It gets the job done. In style too. The new seats will make it more comfortable to drive.
