Baller_ Bruce_Butterfield Posted January 6, 2018 Baller_ Share Posted January 6, 2018 My lake in north Texas has been frozen over for the last 3 days. Its the 3rd time in around 30 years that its frozen over. Must be Global Warming. Er, uh, Climate Change. If it was easy, they would call it Wakeboarding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller xrated Posted January 9, 2018 Baller Share Posted January 9, 2018 no idea, I'm stuck inside with a broken leg, but reports from friends are full size trucks and 12" in a spot that somehow opened the beginning of December and closed just before Christmas. So about on average for this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Bongo Posted January 18, 2018 Baller Share Posted January 18, 2018 More than enough ice on the lake (8"+) to measure, mark, re-measure, adjust, confirm measurements, cut ice and install 39 permanent concrete anchors with attached buoys on our lake. 26 for the Slalom course and 13 for the Jump course - including a couple optional buoys (e.g. center high side of jump). They'll replace a floating Slalom course and a cable course for Jump. While neither my co-owner or I are surveyors, we did find ourselves arguing whether a 5 cm variance from exact course measurements on one turn buoy was acceptable. It was well within the allowed variance. It was also friggin' windy on an 8 degree day. I did think about some college physics experiment that went along the lines of: measure with a micrometer, mark with a pencil and cut with an axe. In our case, good precise measurements that we triple checked...then cut holes with a chainsaw. Always tried to cut a clean corner where we had the mark and we had a vertical line to the anchor from that corner when it settled on the bottom. But I am sure we had a few cm variance. And yes, using the metric system is way better than English measurements when installing these courses. 39°44'51.3"N 92°13'44.0"W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
