Ron Hill Has Not Left The Building 2005-2017

[Ron Hill]

I talked to Al Stoker, that Baker that Pat bought with my money, is number two V Bottom out of Jerry Baker's shop. It is the first one with the notched bottom... And, the two four inch filler caps(Moon Caps as they were called) are in the original location as installed by John's Custom Marine.....Stay tuned, that boat will race agin..."No Boat Left Behind" is the motto for The Blue Water Resort and Casino 300 Enduro...

Let's see left for Needles with "Parnelli Jones" Stern....We kind of "KICKED" on Saturday, but Sunday we "GOT AFTER IT" and went to Chief Tito's Landing...His tribe is going back to their "ROOTS" and renaming themselves the Neuavi's...I think...

Picture 1: Clean 235 Evinrude, sold for $350...
Picture 2: Gas cap close up
Picture 3: Jimbo McConnell "Messing" with the APBA J propellers...(Comments of those props later..maybe MUCH later)..."ParnellI" getting "Warmed Up" to drive the Sea Doo...(Why the name "Parnelli" you ask????).
Picture 4: Jimbo not only looking at the APBA J props, he's looking at my props...I realize I'm not really the "KING" but I sure wish Jimbo would modify a few propellers, even if he just did them for ME...Jimbo knows props....But you ask him to rework one and he says, "Hello is this thing working?" Even when he's standing next to you....We've know each othe 50 years, but I'm still mad at him for driving the Black and White Scotti, with Ted May, and winning Parker......and getting on the cover of Powerboats...Freddy Hauenstein and I were second and we got one line in the magazine....and the month before, the black and whit boat was for ME!!!!!!!!!and Freddy...Until Jimbo tested it...I guess after 35 years, I shoul;d "let it go"....

Picture 5: My daughter's back and youngest granddaughter...
Picture 6: Granddaughter in chair....Jimbo did the painting....Actually, not sure who did the painting on that chair, but Jimbo and I agreed that if MY OLD MAN had have been there, He'd have thrown the chair in the trash! Jimbo and I both miss my OLD MAN...We really don't have anyone to yell at us anymore!!!
