Last weekend on the lake?

We went to the lake Saturday probably the last time for summer. Brought the seadoos and met Steve and his wife with their boat again and their friends Mimo (sp?) and Christine. Amritz showed up a bit later in the morning but it was cool because we couldn’t launch right away anyhow. The fancy new battery Josh got for his yellow jetski was dead! It was new as of this summer! We had jumper cables so Josh charged it off of the truck for a long time then when Amritz showed up we charged it off his car. By like 11am we got it started and launched.

The lake was super choppy but the launch was nice and empty at 11am We had yummy food. Steve and his wife brought all kinds of good stuff. Big sandwiches from Ralph’s, whole big shrimp and cocktail sauce platter, tostadas, and more! It was crazy. I can’t eat that much at the lake though. Something about knowing I’m gonna wipe out on the wakeboard or tube later… and I’d rather not do it on a full stomach. I drink tons of gatorade and water instead.

Amritz rode the war chariot for the first time and had a blast. I took some cool pics this time, more air shots But took them on Sarah’s camera, so I gotta wait to post them. Steve again rocked the tube. Not sure how he can almost surf on it at the speeds we’re going but yeah… Steve and Mimo tried wakeboarding and couldn’t get up. I got up for a little while. It was waaaaay easier off the boat. For some reason I can stay up much longer while crouching down. Something throws off my balance when I stand fully up. The rope gets slack so I pull it in closer and then it gets slack again and I have nothing to do now but fall… I think there’s another solution involving positioning the board and my body, just gotta figure it out though.

The rope got caught in one of Steve’s jets in his boat when it was Mimo’s last try. Good thing he has 2 jets! As soon as we pulled the boat out, we got it cut out no problem. So, it was fine Everytime we go out something happens, just part of the good time!

Summer is almost over! I think we might have a barbeque next weekend to celebrate the end of summer. That’s what labor day is for, right?
