It was really nice here last night here, too. Warm and calm. Took 3 sets and was really happy with the results. Even squeaked out a 36 mph pass for the last run back to the dock.

 

I do believe that we won't get too many more like that yet this year.

The worst slalom equipment I own is between my ears.

We have a arctic cold snap headed to Austin / SMRR this weekend also, high of 76 Saturday and only in the upper 80's to low 90's the following week, but its a trade for a little rain that we need.

 

76 for a high in September that's a first.

Awesome night to ski last night, probably like the last day without hot tops for the season. lows in the 40s overnight for a few days but we should see some mid 70s next week. 3 years ago we had some great skiing in Oct up here so I hope we can squeeze some good skiing in before Nov.

I think we're probably done here in northern Illinois. Low last night was already in the upper 30s and all this week it won't get out of the 60s during the day with lows in the 40s every night. Next weekend says mid 70s for highs but with some wind and possible rain. Been raining like crazy for this late in the year, cutting the lawn twice a week still. Years back when we had longer falls you could ski into October pretty comfortably with a wet suit but anything after September 15th the past few years has been pointless. Already jacked the motor up 1/4" and changed props. Time to make some speed runs and enjoy the fall colors on the motorcycle.

@ms will do. If we don't have a big crowd I won't cook 'em all and we can do some for lunch or something as well.

Trying to decide whether or not to pull my boat this weekend. May do it and then I will only have dock and lift to worry about moving forward. Hate this time of year even though I couldn't ski...our lake looks so much cooler with my dock and boat out there.

Looks like we'll get a few more good ones this year. Today was beautiful - my skiing was not good, but it was nice out. Got to watch a couple really good skiers while we were waiting though.

 

Get another shot at it tomorrow.
