Deb has had the week off work and we finally found the time to head out to the lake. It's a beautiful day here in the Heartland, almost no wind and 90*!

Hitched up the boat and headed out, talked to my nephew and he said he would meet us there when he finished working. We both skied till he got there and then Matt was on 2 skis, a wakeboard and finally got the courage up to try one ski. After a few attempts, he got the hang of it and stayed up on one for a couple minutes....great accomplishment for him.

Since it was pretty smooth and I had a driver, I figured I'd give something a try that I hadn't done in 20 years.

Put my barefoot suit on, laced up my old pair of Chuck Taylor's, cinched up the gloves, gave Matt and Deb all the instruction they would need to drive/spot and jumped in.[1]

Floating, just waiting on the driver!

Here's what a deep water start looks like. Not much to look at, but it will sure give you a nasal enema :ep

Up on two feet/shoes! Waaaaaa hooooooooo

and finally.......trying to do some cutt'n

I was happier than a tornado in a trailer park :ecit Been a long time and was happy to be back on my feet, albeit in a pair of tennis shoes! Not too shabby for a guy freight training into 50 and didn't end up in the ER, so Deb was pretty happy.

What a great afternoon............now I need a nap

That is damn cool! You may not be able to teach an old dog new tricks but this proves that old dogs can do the same old tricks! Congrats! :10

Your pictures are the proof of two things:

1. Sh1t floats.

2. Dumbo can fly (on top of the water that is).

Of course the rest of us working stiffs are sitting at a desk getting older. Congrats on your day out.

Self employment does have its advantages! Although, it is hard to sell jobs out on the water :wm?

I can't tell you how jealous I am right now. I never once broke out my ski last year, even though we were on the lake almost every weekend, until the lake was too low in early August.

This year, the lake is totally full, and I cannot imagine jumping off of the boat onto the pier to get the truck/trailer to land the boat.

Getting on skis this year with the chemo therapy will definitely never happen.

Glad you had fun!!!

All you have to do is say when! We're going out tomorrow morning and Sunday, usually go out Wed evenings too.

what, no face plant?

silverblueBP · « **Reply #19 on:** June, 04, 2010, 12:26:41 PM »

Who said anything about NOT face planting? That happens so often, it's not even worth mentioning! How do you think my ears got stretched out so far?

Wait....don't answer that :amaz

Face plants are a way of life when you mock.....caution and rare sense on the water.
