Home ownership can be a real drag. Last Thursday, the hot water heater went out. Had to call AIRCO to come out and fix it, they were awesome. You don't realize how often you use hot water until you don't have any. Yesterday (Saturday) the AC went out. So we will be calling to get it fixed tomorrow. Ugh!
Had a good weekend though. Spent alot of time on Lake Travis. Fought for water to wakeboard in, but all in all everyone around us was cool. We were all trying to do the same thing and everyone "got it" I didn't wakeboard because I didn't trust anyone to drive the boat but me. Call me a control freak, but I wouldn't have enjoyed it at all. There were three other boats all jocking for some good water and a group of kayaks. Why kayaks need to be in the center of a where everyone is trying to ski is beyond me. Also one boat that was parked outside the no wake zone and made it impossible to turn around...bummer. With the help of Steve from Texas Ski Ranch, Tricia finally got a wakeboard that she loves and is riding well. I love it when she rides with us. I finally figured out out how to pull stills off of my video camera and here is what I came up with. Sorry we didn't get a pic of the KGB, Rallie or Back Roll that I threw :)
We did see a real live "Jack Ass" moment. Some guys set up a ramp and were jumping their motocross bikes into the lake. Pretty fun to watch. 20 years ago I would have been right there with them, now I am cool just watching
Making good progress with wakesurfing. Cafe Blue is open and is great. We had dinner there with friends Saturday Night and they have done wonders to the place. OUr server was Kasey and she was aweme. If you are on the lake and want something more than burgers, check out Cafe Blue. It is Sandy Creek near the Marina. They have added plenty of boat parking and gas too. Say hi to my man Chris and Peter. Peter is the boss, but Chris helps you park your boat. Throw the man a tip if you remember.
You know the big Cigarette Boats you see on the lake and think all the guys that drive them must have small weiners. Well, I don't know if they do, but if you get a chance to ride one...do it. They are awesome. I would never own one, but don't knock them untill you have been on one. Very cool, very fast and very load.
Have you heard the new Kid Rock song? Something about sweet home Alabama? I love it.
Also love the new Gnarles Barkley
Looks like the Lakers are going to lose again tonight
Man the price of gas is really starting to piss me off. No really piss me off. I guess the only answer is less consumption. That will take a while. But I have to believe someone is getting really rich over all of this and it sho aint me or anyone I know. Well, maybe a couple of guys I know, but I also know they will be broke again.
How about this sicko CASA Volunteer? Molesting 2 year olds. Hey I am not a fan of the Death Penalty, but I could probably pull the trigger on this one and kick him into a shallow grave. His wife isn't messing around, she filled for divorce and wants everything, froze his assests. Good for her. I say get rid of this guy. His poor wife and daughter have to live the shame. There shouldn't be any shame for them, but they have to humiliated. Drugging and molesting gets you a special place in hell.
New Discovery HD Show; When We Left Earth, The NASA Missions. I geek out watching this and it has been 40 years. I'm going to call my parents and have them tell me what it was like to watch all of this stuff live. My Dad had a friend in the program, but did something to embarass himself and NASA and was gounded. Sucks for him. I hope I live long enough to see Space Travel for everyday people. I bet I do,and if I do, I will spend every dollar I ahave to do it. Yep, that is the one self-fish think I want to do. Strap into a rocket and blast off. WOW Amazing.
