Havasu Barney was great. I think I was Roman 1 over there. Been a bunch of years! Who was the short haired chic that had a bunch of guys under her thumb?

[Tom Brown]

Ha! All these years, I never knew you were Roman1. That guy was awesome. Sharp Shooter, not so much..... Just kidding. Nice to see you, Sharp Shooter.

[Tom Brown]

It's always good to see Tyro. Dude is the best of us.

[2manymustangs]

Ben is Maximus I assume?

Eason and I got to visit with Maxie at Fox’s on Halloween night, it was a total freak show!

It was great to see Ben, I hadn’t seen him in 3-4 years

[HB Vic]

It's always good to see Tyro. Dude is the best of us.

Tyro came to visit me in the hospital when I crashed 3yrs ago. My own goddamn sons didnt even come to see me. Tyro is family.

[HB Vic]

Well we have some new signups. More than likely one is my loser of an ex-wife. So lets all welcome her now lol .

[2manymustangs]

460 is Tyro? Pleased to get to know you Tyro!

We had a Havasu Barney member that went by BOSS460, as I recall he was from Texas and had a company that made frozen drink machines.

His handle came from a kick ass 1969/70 blue fastback with an aluminum CJ head 460 BBF.

[Tom Brown]

Bruce, thank you for your energy with this. I have always enjoyed your presence on the forum and I'm delighted to find you well and in good spirit.

Vic, I never understood why I was banned from HotBoat v2.0. Even after we spoke on the phone, and you mentioned Dave several times, I did not understand. Perhaps you have some bad history with Dave and felt my presence was related to that. Whatever the case, I wish you well and offer my regards.

The forums are no longer part of my life but I have very warm memories of the days when I spent a lot of time in the boating group. I offer my gratitude for the friendships I've had over the years. Thank you for making my life better.

Best wishes to all.


Your friend,

Tom

Good morning Tom,

I dont think it was me who banned you. I did have a couple people at the time running around like they owned the place. It may have been them. In any event, I apologize and you are not banned and are welcome here for as long as I can keep the doors open lol.

Vic

[2manymustangs]

Where's UT?

Wicky!!!

Man O man! I thought maybe we lost you on a tuna fishing adventure!!!

How are you brother? What’s going on?

We’re waiting on Uncle Tony, he’s being summoned along with many others ������

[2manymustangs]

Thank you for the thank you Tom Brown! It’s my pleasure to gather the crew!

Everyone please be patient and hang on as we get the band back together!

Can y’all believe that it’s really been over 20 years since Havasu Barney started? Amaze balls!!!!

I really wasn't part of the Barney Band and not really Hot Boat either. I was there but not posting much in the Social Sections. Tom Brown and Rexone were intimidating and kept many of us down. :smileyvault-tomatoe

How's the fishing over here?

Would that be me? I can’t remember how my hair was then….

[GRADS 2.0]

Yes. You had the a-frame or bob cut and always took pics with your head sideways and tilted. LOL

[2manymustangs]

Welcome Grads and Bre :action-smiley-035:

Maybe, post up a 20 year old picture, maybe Jerry Sharpshooter and will recognize you :fishing2:

Honestly the only lady that my pea brain remembers from Havasu Barney is “FM Loved Water” from Vancouver????

Great memory Grads! :action-smiley-035:

Sharpshooter/Wicky, our buddy Andrew Games was just out at Catalina and got a few Pacific lobsters!!!

F that guy he was that ahole moderator always banning shitheads.

[Tom Brown]

Perhaps I can liven this thread by spilling some dirt on the real Rexone.

Phoenix, circa 2008, I was walking through the pit area at Firebird with some extraordinarily nice people, including Rexone. We were engaged in a particularly interesting conversation while a couple of guys were struggling to get their boat from a soft surface onto the pavement. Before I noticed, Mike was already leaning into the back of the boat and they were on their way about 15 seconds later.

Two years later, I was at Katherine's Landing and a huge boat was coming to the pier at a walking speed. The engine went silent and I thought, "These guys are going to hit the dock!" Thinking, "I'm not going to let that showboat Rexone take all the glory." I jumped to the edge of the dock and braced to slow their impact. Oddly, the boat slowed down and turned at the last moment on it's own power. The guys got out of the boat, looking at me like my trunks were falling off while I was boarding a jet boat from the water.

"What are you doing?"

"You were coming in pretty fast. When your engine stopped, I figured I would try to keep you from hitting the dock."

"We have maneuvering thrusters that don't make much noise."

"Huh!?"

[2manymustangs]

Ole Rexie…

I’m searching my archives for a special picture of that cat…

Our leader, Barney!

SO, in the last 20+ years since Havasu Barney days, I had a daughter who’s now starting college (on the dean’s list after completing her first semester).

My son is doing his masters program at UC Riverside CA. He’s half way done with a three year program.

I’m still doing IT software work and ready to retire when I get my shop all set up, it’s under construction ( in two years)

My wife and I are still happily married after 36 years . I’ve been calling Long Beach my second home since the mid 80’s but would like to have a snowbird situation in Parker AZ…

OH, I got new hips in 2016, it was a pretty dark time in the years leading up to that life changing surgery, I was bone on bone in both hips.

I’ve had the pleasure of meeting many of the west coast circle boat crew and call many of them friends like Jerry/SharpShooter, Mike/Rexie, Hotboat Vic, LBX David from Long Beach water ski fame and MANY MANY more fine folks that I’ve got to meet/hang with.
