[jpetty3023]

[moombadaze]

did recieve a little package from overtons tho today

[jmb]

2 rounds of skiing and a round of wakeboarding. Don't get any better than that on December 2nd

[rdlangston13]

Would have gone wakeboarding today if we hadn't already made plans to go to our friends ranch for the weekend. Boat gets winterized tomorrow

Last session before pulling the boat last weekend. I should have kept it out as it hit 74 this week in Atlanta. 16654

[wolfeman131]

nice, Scott!

saw a pic of Lanier from this week and it's 14+ft down. Almost back to the drought level. How is Allatoona holding up?

[kaneboats]

Supposed to be 80 on Sun. here. Bet my river is down to about 60 though. OOOOhhhhh, that'll shrivel you.

[ChrisK]

60 will shrivel you? 80 air temp and 60 water requires no more than a neoprene shirt for me! When the water gets into the 50's I'm throwing the full wetsuit on and anything below that is drysuit. Funny how geography changes people's tolerances so much. I can't imagine what kind of temps the Canadians can take!

[beat taco]

Finally hitting Oregon water temps!

haha okay, I'll have to reconsider! say Dusty if you look in the back of my storage unit you'll see a blue/white water proof bag! ropes stored away for the winter in a water tight bag baby...

[bergermaister]

Ok Petty - how much does that storage run you a month? Curious compared to up here.

And does it really ever get that cold in TX??

[Mikey]

I believe a cold front for them ...means having to put on a light coat and pants ,not shorts. Sadly i don,t have a pic at the moment of my boat buried in snow in the back yard...OBTW today was a nice day. Snow melting slightly and sloppy roads etc. Just think only5 plus more months of this.

berg I pay 100 a month for the "tall door" unit. just back her in and go.

It is suppose to be in the low 20's overnight with highs during the day of low 40's. that's cold for TX boys....

Dang - I pay $94 for a little 10x10. A 12x25-30 would push $300/mo up here!

That's pretty cold - colder than here actually! I thought you guys wore shorts year round....

I can only speak for myself (friends think I'm insane) but I really do try to get 6 months of skiing in! Boat goes in water May 1st and last run on or near Halloween (Oct 31) if possible? WOrk schedule sometimes disrupts the end of season date!

But I do know one thing - after skiing with Trent Finlayson last week in San Marcos Texas; I REALLY WANT TO MOVE DOWN THERE!!!!!!

[rca]

Where'd you ski in San Marcos?

[iwaterskihard]

I skied at a private man made ski lake called UTOPIA. Great lessons from a quality professional dude in Trent Finlayson. I posted comments in the slalom section of the forum as well.

It looked like that out my front door today too, lasted till about 1ish.

Russ is truly devoted to his boats care. I'm not sure what finally made him goto this extreme but...

Russ actually removed the entire tower to make his boat fit in the garage.

He had to, only way to boat in the winter!
Looks like the kids are having fun!

I have garage envy but Russ already knows this... Not too many guys can stuff a 24ft boat AND a suburban AND a car in their garage along with all their other crap!

We got skunked here once again. But just 15 min up the road we can get to about 1500ft and it is a winter wonderland up there of course.

Forgot to post these last night. We were out for an afternoon break from finals for the girls. Weather was overcast but a nice 80 degrees. The boat gauge said the water was 70, but it felt much colder.

Oh yea, a good thing we went yesterday. We had 50mph winds and will hit 36 tonight. Not a good day to be on the water today, but yesterday was great!

[kaneboats]

Go girls! I gotta show my girls this stuff. Who says the season is over??????? 31 tonight though. Brrr.

[chadjitsu1]

28 tonight in Atlanta. Went and winterized the boat this afternoon. I have been holding out and just waiting for one more nice day, looks like I have to just accept the fact that its not going to get warm again for a while. Anyway I have big plans for the boat next year. I will be posting some pictures of a new project I'm working on. This is going to be a true automatic ballast system, no more valves and no more rocker switches. This should be fun.

[kaneboats]

Looking forward to seeing your progress. But, you're right about cold weather on the way. 36 overnight here. Time to go split some logs.

[wolfeman131]

Chad,

Let me know if you want a hand with your project.

[chadjitsu1]

I might take you up on that. I work for a machine automation company and plan on writing some code and adding a touch screen to the boat this year for the ballast system, much like the new high end boats have.

I will more than likely need some help when it comes to drilling through hull fittings into the bottom of the boat. The support I need is moral support and maybe someone to have a few drinks with before i actually pick up the drill.

Forget skiing. Since you're already driving on the snow, get a tower hooked up to that bed and do a little 4wd snowboarding. Or try your wakeboard. Only problem there is your feet might get cold real fast.

Only question, does one need a spotter on dry land?
