Paradox,
After being up here for almost one year, I can see why you avatar says Florida. I am ready to get out of here already. Still feel bad for those affected. 94 west bound is shut down between the rock river (johnson creek/lake mills)
Jr.
How was Jax run? boat looked great from the pixs! I should be back down there in a few weeks

Supposed to get more rain in the next few days again. For up-to-date on the flooding and etc, check www.channel3000.com
They have some pretty good pics. Monday and Tuesday we have had employees leave to either pack up their houses or help family evacuate pending potential dam breaks.

At 41 your still a kid. (i'm almost 51)
Back in 70's 80's the LOTO was different and it was great. You had a 21' boat and the king of the lake.. Now.. all condos.. huge cruisers.. can't ski.. floating docks takes up half the lake. I miss the old LOTO..
My old EP is Blue and red. Used it last summer in the Tampa bay area for about 10 minutes and I thought I died. Legs, arms, back, calfs sore as heII. Back in the days I used to go for hours.. That's 30+ years ago.. I will do a bit skiing this summer and try to get in a better shape. SKiing is great excersize. But ... damn it's hard to get back in the boat when you old and out of shape.. (correction.. older ) I still feel young.. but my body thinks otherwize.
