Another fine, low wind day; Deb, Matt (nephew) and myself went out to the lake to catch up on some water skiing. Had a great time and Deb managed to get some nice pics!

Deb showing her "Gangsta look"

Matt with his second time on a slalom ski!

Me on one for the first time in 20+ years. Notice I have the "air brakes" deployed

Me mocking how Matt looked last year.

Me jumping on 2 skis.

Matt getting some nice air

Me, the first wake to wake that I landed

and Me, KNOWING I'm not gonna land it and then the painful result!!

It's not the "britches", it's the chicken legs in them!!

I hate you. We were just talking, this morning, how we could get the boat out this year, and can't see it happening with the chemo schedule. hopefully, we'll have another good boating season next year.

Looks like you guys had a blast, though. I'm very jealous!

Color coded so you know how long the rope sections are. Although I'll admit when they bleach out a little, the pastels are sort of :ga

Went out last night for a last ski send off since my nephew is headed for college. Was on one ski and throwing some nice walls of water when I lost control and side slapped the water. I'm pretty sure I've cracked another rib.[1]

Looks like no skiing for a couple weeks.......again :rp This getting old shart is for the birds.

Maybe someone got a pic, but I don't have it yet!

1.	one that's been busted 3 times before

If you have a broken rib and go skiing in a couple of weeks, you are either an ironman or.... :craz

silverblueBP · « **Reply #14 on:** July, 14, 2010, 11:11:48 AM »

To my detriment, I have a high threshold for pain

Maybe it's just bruised this time. Fo sho it's nowhere near as bad as last time when I cracked 3 and turned the cartilage into crunchy jello!

Well, as long as you are having fun. :craz

AzPete · « **Reply #16 on:** July, 14, 2010, 11:15:22 AM »

Well, if you are so dang tough, what the heck you doing even mentioning, let alone complaining about a sore rib...........
:nk while he is down...lol

apollard · « **Reply #17 on:** July, 14, 2010, 11:21:25 AM »

:lol

I broke mine when I wiped out on a wake. Waited a week before I went to the doc.

But I wasn't :craz enough to go out until it healed. Perhaps that 'splains the 3 time. Just sayin'

silverblueBP · « **Reply #18 on:** July, 14, 2010, 11:22:34 AM »

Actually, I'm complaining that I won't be skiing for awhile, the pain is irrelevant. I never said I was tough, just that I don't feel the same pain pansies feel :craz

Well, it has been 2 years since I broke them last. I'm just hoping it heals in 2 weeks

I think I'll give up the slalom ski for the last time, it's just not worth the time off. I seem to open up my ribs during those falls where if I'm on 2 skis, the wakeboard or barefoot I just tuck and roll.

I think it's time to face the fact that my almost 50 yr old body can't keep up with my 19 yr old brain.[1]

1.	maybe not even 19, but close

Went out yesterday and my brother (10 years younger) tried a few flips. He actually landed this one, sans rope, but crashed after the landing since he lost the rope!

What a maroon.
