Joined: March 2008 Posts: 2683 Location: Hot Springs, S.D. | We got about six inches of snow a couple of days ago. Today we are having 45 MPH winds that are blowing it all around. I had to fill my gas tank this morning and my face and hair and jeans and jacket were encased in snow and ice by the time I was done. It was whiteout conditions on the way down here. If it doesn't let up, I think I'll sleep here at the shop tonight! | ||

Joined: January 2009 Posts: 379 Location: Alagoas, Brazil | Yeah, sure I will. I´m ringing a friend just now to cancel the weekend boat ride in order to be there in time. Oh, yes, maybe I should buy some winter clothes. It is TOO HOT here (right now, around 100). Best regards, Miguel | ||

Joined: March 2005 Posts: 12750 Location: Boise, Idaho | Oops. I failed to include, "try to stay upright" in my lesson. My water skiing lessons are a bit more complicated. Standing up on water is not natural. I've been surprised that a number of people don't know to let go of the rope after they fall. | ||

Joined: January 2009 Posts: 379 Location: Alagoas, Brazil | Maybe I´ll buy a book on the subject and study it throughly before going there. As soon as I master the proper techniques, I´ll book my flight. Until then, I´ll just lay on the beach and study while I get some tan. Best regards, Miguel | ||

Joined: March 2005 Posts: 12750 Location: Boise, Idaho | You'd really be getting to me Miguel, except that I get bored laying on the beach and reading. The last time I did that was over 20 years ago in Hawaii. I thought at I'd at least enjoy watching the babes in bikinis, but I got grossed out by all the pregnant?? women in bikinis and the fat old guys in Speedos. Hope they are better looking on your beach. | ||

In either case, gravity sux! Standing up on water is not natural. At least when water skiing, let go of the tow line and ya stop pretty quickly. Snow skiing, it's 'gravity' to the bottom (if you're lucky) or a tree or another skier! | ||
