Actually that is Alan snorkleing with the magnet.  We couldn't get enough air out of the drysuit to dive more then five feet. It was funny as heck, even with flippers, trying to go deeper, but you couldn't.

The water at Broho yesterday was finally above 50, it was a balmy 52.

http://www.goode.com/wsacc001.htm  I used to work as a baggage handler for the airline, The first time I traveled with my ski, I got a hard shell from Goode for my ski. As a union baggage handler, myself and co-workers would try and be carefull. However there were times when we couldn't control what happened to someones luggage. For example for a non-wide body aircraft where the luggage is stored loosely into the belly (large body aircraft luggage is normnally put into containers) even though there are nets and straps to help keep the luggage secured and in place, a hard landing by the pilot can cause some major shifting of luggage. What was placed on top of the pile ends up on the bottom. There were even times we couldn't get the door open, had to get the mechanics to take the door off. No matter how you pile luggage onto a luggage cart, if you have to stop suddenly for another crazy driver, luggage can go flying. Remember OF, Garry S. ski got broken in half, when he checked his ski in with a soft bag. Now a days they don't pay the baggage handlers enough for them to give a s#*t.

wow, I am thinking since the handle loop is stuck to the rope loop, that is was never put on correctly, two loops should slide together, you should have never had one loop bent like a knot over the other.Also it sounds like the handle has been on there as long as you have had the rope, if you need a new rope you need a new handle, or if you just can't part with the handle, have Brenda at Intow retie your handle for you.

After starting to ski with Doane and OF, to shut them up I quit wearing a spray leg. The very first time out without a long suit, always hurts the worst, initially I have skin razored off. It sometimes takes a while to heal, because everytime I ski again the scabs get scrapped off again, and again. The best thing though in the summer, I never have to shave the hair off my left leg. My advise is to never wear a spray leg around Doane and OF, you will never hear the end of it. Believe me this pain is way tolerable then all the pain in the butt remarks, you will hear from them for years after. /vanillaforum/js/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-sealed.gif

What about the other household members, if any?  I do the majority of the yard work other then the mowing, unless my husband doesn't have time. I wish I had a riding lawn mower.

a front loader washer works real well cleaning neoprene wet suits and vests that want to float to the top of the top loading machines. I have always washed my skiing stuff when they get to stinky with soap and water. My oneil vest is 8+yrs old and still floating. And I have always put my neoprene and vest in the dryer right away when I get home from the lake. Gloves too. If you have buckles on your vest, buckle them and turn the vest inside out, so the bluckles don't bang around in the dryer. And make sure any velcro is attached to what ever it is suppose to be attached to, because it will attach to the first thing it comes in contact with. AND ALWAYS MEDIUM HEAT, NO HIGH HEAT in the dryer.

Mrs. ML don't wait to get your tournament drivers rating. I am an assistant driver. Usually for the M3 and M4 they are always short of drivers. They hestitated at first to use me as a M3 and M4, but they didn't have any other drivers. HAHAHA it was funny, but hey I don't think they will hestitate anymore, a couple of the guys got new PB skiing behind me. I always drive for Doane, this winter he has been getting into -39 often. :)  I am thinking about seeing what it will take to become a Regular Driver.

Mrs. ML. I too do all the boat stuff you do. Since I am the only one in the family that uses the boat anymore, I also make sure all the matenance is done. It always amazes me that there are so many wifes/girls that think they can't do the driving, trailering, launching etc.... It is alot easier then they think. I am one of those that will not wait for anyone, if there is a will there is a way. :)

I think you guys should all just start wearing speedos. Tight fitting and no drag. You wouldn't lose them either in a crash.

Of course the new PB was because of the boat crew. Look how happy Ryder is for you. /vanillaforum/js/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-smile.gif

HAHAHA I will believe it when I see it Zippy especially on 80+ degree days.

 Does this include the question of the husband not liking what the wife or girl friend wants to do. Maybe you all are trying to change them and want them to do what you want to do. Go half way and compromise, you do something they want and maybe they will do something you want. Or maybe you just found the wrong woman. I found the right man and he lets me ski as much as I want. Laughing all the way to the lake again tomorrow. :) Life is Good.

Look at the two Beans, aren't they cute. Mike58 learned how to put wax on his dry suit zipper too. :)

The wind must not have been a factor then today.

That is prefect water, go skiing. If you need to use the dock, just shovel the snow off, like we did last year at Broho. :)

awesome looking boat behind Thomas. :)

Driver bonus points. :) Plus bonus points to OF great driving boat. :)
