I figure everyone is just hibernating with all this crap weather Monte.  It is either that or they are all depressed about the beating Illinois took at the hands of Wisconsin last weekend.  LOL!!!  Sorry, I just couldn't resist.

I hear you Bill.  I am REALLY getting tired of winter.  It is snowing this morning and I thought it was suppose to be in the 40's today. At least the ice is gone. 

Looks like you are doing a pretty good job of getting the Loop Cruise going.  Keep going with it.  I am throwing around some dates for the "Rally on the River".  Nothing def yet.  One bad thing that happened over the winter is that our restaurant that we used for our events breakfast BURNED down. Now I gotta try to figure somewhere else.  I am sure we will come up with something though.

I am going to The Rock also. Kicking around about going a lil early to my buddy Mike and Debbie O at LoO the weekend before.  Time will tell.

 And to you Kerry.  Thats right - we (Illini) suck. LMAO

Come on SPRING

Bill, Good to hear from ya. If I was a betting man I'd say you just as well keep going on the Loop Cruise yourself, Don usually has done something by now if he was going to get something going. Maybe he just needs a year off from all of it. We will be at the National this year and looking forward to it. Hopefully we can get a pretty large group from Illiniois Down at the Rock.

Kerry Kerry Kerry, I really thought we were better than that. I see how you are now LOL. No this is the year that we are giving everyone else a chance so you all will continue to play in the coming years.  LOL.

Booter, if ya need any help you know the number buddy.

Randy, Snow....... I know what you mean. I'm tired of it all. Carmen and I are doing well, we can't wait to fire the girl up and hit the lake. I'm going to try and hit Lake Shelbyville at the middle to end of April unless it gets warmer before then. Hopefully we'll see ya before the next boat show.

Everyone I know including non boaters are ready to be done with winter. My dock is open on April first but I question whether the lake will be liquid by then. Hoping for a very warm March! For now I have my boat on the background of my computer and I can always watch the videos on the web site. Anyone out there boat on Lake Geneva?

Ok so Me, Monte, Booter are going to the National. Anyone else from Illinois? I am taking my wife Diane(yes there is a Mrs.Burns believe it or not) and three of my granddaughters, ages 10 to 6. It would be nice for all the Illinois Crownies to hook up at a event, like one of the dinners or a raftup. I plan on having alot more fun this year now that I have GPS and won't get lost on my way to the raftup, and yes I will have plenty of gas.
