Waiting on my FW to be delivered. Unfortunately it doesn't look like today is going to be the day with the rain and lightning we're seeing around here.

Watching it rain. Looking at the radar and coming to the realization that it is going to be rain for the next 4days and totally screw up the weekend.

Heading down to the lake NOW! Ready for some tubing and wake boarding mayhem and then a weekend of cottage life in the SUN and WARMTH finally!

Weather looking good today, so packed the boat, skis life jackets etc. Filled up the car, packed food clothes etc. all ready 2 days ahead...

Ended up spending yesterday and last night with my daughter in hospital. Looks like we will be there until Tuesday. Diagnosed with type 1 diabetes as her pancreas decided it won't make insulin any more.....

What a bummer. Best of luck for getting it all under control quickly.

Just wrapped up a full afternoon and evening of tubing and wake boarding. Non-stop action and good times with the kids. Boat ran flawlessly but I think my stereo is starting to fail. I need some upgrades soon...maybe this winter. Also thinking really hard about the perfect pass gps system since 75% of our boating is pulling...

I put a new tranny in my 02 Tahoe $2,900 and it's money well spent. Looks great and runs good. Used to pull my H220 all over the country with it.
