Baller ScarletArrow Posted July 3, 2014 Baller Share Posted July 3, 2014 With the 4th landing on a Friday this year, I'm planning on maximizing my water time by skipping a tournament 3.5 hours away (even if Nate is rumored to be there) and camping at the lake with the family. I imagine I will ski 4-5 sets over 2 days, plus drive for my kids (including my 4 year old who taking interest in the skimmer board), swim and give my wife a driving lesson. If I wanted to ski more I could stay Sunday, but I imagine we'll all be ready to come home by Sunday night. What about you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ScarletArrow Posted July 3, 2014 Author Baller Share Posted July 3, 2014 Well... I wanted to add a few more options, but can't seem to edit. Oh well. Hope everyone skis well this weekend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller PatM Posted July 3, 2014 Baller Share Posted July 3, 2014 @ScarletArrow Yes you needed to put - Live on a public lake won't be skiing much due to 4th of July weekend is amateur hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller A_B Posted July 3, 2014 Baller Share Posted July 3, 2014 Just need the wind to cooperate a little. It has been a windy summer so far. I'm talking white caps, not normal summer breeze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller estrom Posted July 3, 2014 Baller Share Posted July 3, 2014 I'm in the same boat as @Pat M, so we're running up today for the afternoon to tube and ski the kids/cousins and then get off the water for the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crashman Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Wind here looks great for tomorrow- I'm hoping to ski until my arms fall off. If anyone's travels take you up I-69 at exit 245 stop in for a holiday set! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Texas6 Posted July 3, 2014 Baller Share Posted July 3, 2014 It will be a normal weekend of skiing that began two days early Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller 9400 Posted July 3, 2014 Baller Share Posted July 3, 2014 Actually there is a hurricane off our coast right now but it's far enough away. So it should read "there's a hurricane but we'll still be skiing, might be a little gusty " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Ed_Obermeier Posted July 3, 2014 Baller Share Posted July 3, 2014 How much skiing will you do this holiday weekend? Just as much as my old beat up body can take. Started the weekend off early with a couple sets this morning (behind a sweet '13 TXI), going again tomorrow morning, and again Sunday morn assuming I'm not so damn sore that I can't pull the boots on... FINALLY starting to get some favorable wind conditions at the right times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller oldjeep Posted July 4, 2014 Baller Share Posted July 4, 2014 Hope there won't actually be a hurricane, but been skiing for the past week up north. Take off tomorrow for Key Largo at my little sisters wedding, so not much chance of skiing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bogboy Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Free skiing early in the morning on the larger lake. Tied a pb today, 4 @32 mph, and cleaning up my 30 mph's. Thanks to all at the course lake for the coaching. Sorry about my goofy posts earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Waternut Posted July 4, 2014 Baller Share Posted July 4, 2014 I say normal in the sense of course skiing but I won't be getting out on public water in my own boat. My plan today is to hit the course and then come home and hang out with friends in the water by the dock. My lake is a county lake so no alcohol is allowed and there are still plenty of nutcases. After seeing some of the boaters on lakes that allow alcohol, I probably wouldn't even swim in those on holiday weekends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ForrestGump Posted July 4, 2014 Baller Share Posted July 4, 2014 6 rounds this weekend. Will only ski three. I'm sure I'll get a couple of sets today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller A_B Posted July 4, 2014 Baller Share Posted July 4, 2014 Well, just put my leg through the garage ceiling after I slipped off of my attic flooring. Knee and leg are banged up a little, so will wrap some tape around them and see how it feels. Rounds might be reduced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Chef23 Posted July 4, 2014 Baller Share Posted July 4, 2014 The hurricane is going to blow through and we have Jaret Lewellyn in town for a junior clinic tomorrow. I may not ski much tomorrow but I will get plenty of time driving and listening to coaching. Hopefully one set for me and maybe a couple on Sunday.

Baller skibug Posted July 5, 2014 Baller Share Posted July 5, 2014 Life is too short not to ski as much as you can; not to mention your actual ski life in years. You won't be able to do it forever and tomorrow is promised to no one. Ski too much and don't look back!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
