Day at the lake..

[dmp]

Saturday last a few of us gathered at American Lake, in Lakewood, WA...My friend James told me He could flip me off his tow-tube-thing...I was up for the challenge I thought:

d'oh! Got cocky! Looks like my 'guns' weren't up to the task

so, I waited for him to come and get me...

Dried off, and home for Texas-Hold'em

I'm SORE...well..yesterday I was pretty sore..today it wasn't so bad.

Here's a vid, btw...very choppy/bouncy...

It's a 120?HP jetboat..forgot the make. It does okay with two passengers and one in the tube..more than that, forget it.

Mine is a 125hp Force outboard on a Bayliner Capri...one person is best for speed...anymore and the speed is reduced to 25-30mph...which is still fast enough to hurt when ya hit the water!

Tubing is a riot! The one's with the 'holes' are tough on us old-timers though. Getting thrown from them is 'ouch'. My bro and I just ordered a two person one that you can lie flat on or sit on, easier to be 'dumped', but also more kind to enter the water at 30-40 mph!

What's great about tubing is that both little kids that can swim, but might be phobic about water skiing can do it; so can those of us that arthritis makes our old past-time, past!

Not to mention some daughters and nieces that have lost tops from water skiing but want to hit the water. (bring back 1 piece suits!)
