BTW, take a look at this thread, we are squabbling like women. I take enough crap from my girlfriend everyday to fill an entire messageboard, as I am sure most of you do with your girlfriends/wives.

How do I think I completed on this work in a short amount of time, I been hiding in the garage.

Cumbaya. Feelin' the love.

46 here!
(I still love bikinis! )

That was uncharacteristic of me, my apologies to you all.
I crossed the line of good taste, the face value of the words I chose poorly represented my thoughts. Trying to clarify would be equally poor form.

Back to 80nauts:

Back in my day we had to get the attention of the chicks the old fashioned way - we earned it, and not with our KA stereos or boats. One day about, oh I don't know, a gazillion years ago, my buddies and I were barefooting up and down a river. There was a group pulled off on the shore having a few beers. Every time we skied by, one of the young ladies hiked her top up and shook her fairly ample bosums at us. Now see....thats respect.

Jason: No harm intended. You're doing a great job with your boat. Continue to keep us posted.

BKHallpass:

Still have your old Maja? I'm impressed. That used to be the state of the art ski. I wish I still had my old Northland, at least to hang on the wall as a decoration but it is long gone.

(Age 50 but can still make it through the course - (although not very well and not too fast) and can still knock out deep water starts and tumbleturns - pretty good for an Old Fart)

Yea baby yea!!!!,

We're all on this for the same reason and we all have different rymes. I myself, focus on whats behind the boat. Let it shine, let it glow, hell through a tv in it if you have to. One request though, when you have 8,000 pounds of weight in the boat and your boy falls no power turns please. This sends waves in the opisite direction and creates chop. Idle down and turn around. Hey that rymes, we can all remember that. Little barefoot trick. Respect, that's what we all want. Young or old and I'm young. I don't like to see guys my age buzzing my dock and watching my flawless 1980 American Skier slaming up and down on my new black finish. Keep the music clean and at tolerable levals. Lots of people go to these lakes to get away from it all. Wakeboarders, skiers, barefooters, trick and I'll let the tubers go unsaid(unless your under the age of 10).
Picture yourself, really bumbed on somthing, going off to get away at your family cabin on the lake. The first cabin built. Built over 60 years ago. You have been going since you were -1. Maybe someone in your family just died. Over the winter you completely rebuilt your boat to destress. You're finally kicking back up at the cabin and wala! The weekend warriors from the local town come by 100 ft from the dock with a tidal wave following heading for your boat. You let it go the first 4 times then head off to have a little talk. Not recieved well as expected. This is the frustration some of the older guys are speaking from. Wake boarding has the POTENTIAL to upset skiers but it doesn't have to be that way. If boarders could please take some additional consideration due to the nature of the wakes we would all really apreciate it. Not saying the previous post persons are not respectful, just a friendly reminder to all persons boating. Big wakes have the potential to due some major damage. kids on docks and even on shore. Things not everyone thinks about. Be respectful of owners that is their lake, not yours. If your can't deal go to your local resivore. If we can all show lots of respect, we will facilitate grounds for friendship and good times. Look out for one another ya know? Everyone needs help at one time or another and we'll all be there. Show respect, you too skiers. Happy Motoring!
