Well it looks like i´m not going to be able to make it again. I was hoping it wasnt going to happen but it has ive got to work on sunday so no chance of getting over

I wish you all a great day, let the sunshine, the beer flow and your boats stay afloat

MacGee :'(

OK Mac! You can enjoy the event from your computer screen when we start posting photos...... unable to get the live webcam going this year, no 3G signal near the lake.

has everyone else started checking there boats, charging their batteries, taking spare crystals?!?

SteamboatPhil · « **Reply #238 on:** May 20, 2008, 09:54:34 am »

Poor Mrs Steamboat can't move in the house due to boats being got ready, markers laid out, waders, boat box, brasso for the steam plants, beer for me. I have even ordered more batteries (and spare crystals) from Howes Models.
Oh and of course all the tea, coffee, cups (with lids this year--well the ones I forgot last year-sorry Mrs Mayhem)
Caravan loaded with wine, sun lotion, tee shirts (Ok so I'm very optomistic) chargers,gazebo, small marquee, more beer and a torch !!!!!
Oh and a can of Big soup incase I get hungry !!!!!!!
So, nearly ready then

Are you bringing a flash steamer this year Phil?
Several reasons:
1. No need for lights on the evening sail.
2. Brazier if it's cold at night.
3. Super fast Bar B Q

SteamboatPhil · « **Reply #240 on:** May 20, 2008, 12:26:59 pm »

Oh you had better belive it (in fact several--semi flash really--but you get the idea) Ohhhh do you think I should have warned Stavros (who has braved to do some stopping) to bring his asbestos undies !!!!
Now where are those burgers !!!!!

Anybody panicking about getting the build ready

So much to do ......... so little time

where "watching paint dry" really means something

ken

SteamboatPhil · « **Reply #246 on:** May 21, 2008, 11:51:36 am »

Oh Kenny I know what you mean, sadly "Bruce Spring Steam" will not be ready (not even got paint on to watch dry) as I spent just a bit too long building "battle Springer", but I will have it with me to show all how to cram a twin cylinder flash steam plant into 18", Still it will be ready for Mayhem 3 (hint hint)
