    Default Been pretty quiet around here......

    Anyone still boating out there? Not much posting going on here. We have had really warm weather the last week so we ran up to the lake for a quick ski Saturday morning. Water temp was 64 and air about 60. We brought the wet and dry suits just in case but we all braved the cool water and went without. Water was smooth! Lots of beautiful colors in the mountains made for a beautiful backdrop.

    Hurricane has us pretty disrupted in the Southeast.

    We had some unseasonally warm weather on Tuesday 9-26. It was over 90 air and 70 water temp. Had to be on the water for that.

    My knee has been feeling pretty trashed ever since week #2 to Whistler bike Park in mid September. So I didn't even bring the foil or wakeboard Tuesday.

    But even feeling gimpy, I can at least surf... https://youtu.be/w72Q7RBnbl8?si=yIbFH4xcFZfpMqsD

    Thought about going out this weekend but wasn't super motivated for Sunday-funday, so just stayed home and tore into the Jeep...

    Knoxville did not get it bad per the hurricane, but the areas East (TN/NC border) of here got hammered as many have seen on the national news. Sad times for those mtn people w/o power, water, and the basic necessities. But the TN and NC people will be helping their neighbors.

    Keep saying I wish we could get out one more time but nope... I noticed no September pics thread and thought wow - that's a first. Well maybe not, but felt like it!

    Maybe a polar bear run is in order this year. I can finally try out the dry suit I seem to forget buying in a drunken stuper watching Chasing Mavericks a few years back...
    So when is this "old enough to know better" supposed to kick in?

    I have only seen 1 wakeboat-a new nautty-in the last couple of months. it's been quiet here in sin city. even the monthly trips to visit the parental unit in bullhead city az I have not seen the typical river packed with lake lice.
    found out my neighbor in this new house i'm in has a boat and he has only been out once this entire year(it's an older bayliner i/o).
    the economy here in sin city is not stellar right now being tied with the highest unemployment in the nation which, imo, is not helping with disposable income and gas has been $4 all summer long.

    Even though Knoxville did on get hit, the water is pouring through the TVA system. Douglas Lake/Dam is above us and that lake rose 20' in a few days. All that water is going to flow though our area on its way downstream. The river is brown with plenty of logs, trees, and islands of debris floating downstream.

    Ohio was not busy this year either.
    Several people new to the wake boat scene in my local lakes but they weren't regulars through the summer.
    I didn't make it out as much either but it was just the season. Too much other stuff going on I guess.
    Economy is struggling. I have been seeing "toys" for sale everywhere. Looks like the covid money is running dry.

    My cousin owned a cabin in Asheville on a beautiful mountain stream. It's gone now...very sad. It was in their family for 50 years! We have folks without power around us who will be out for weeks. We were lucky and got restored in 5 days. Lots of wind damage. Georgia Power said this is the most damage they have had in the companies history. But from what I have seen, Ashville and other areas in NC and SC may be worse!

    High of 79 today, water temp 65. Got done with work at 4pm on my 1 work from home day. At the launch by 430pm, and saw the river was smooth enough on the main channel to start riding right from the launch. My knee still isn't feeling good enough to wakeboard, but the surf therapy felt good.
