1st run of the year!

Well we went skiing yesterday, it was fantastic, the air temp was 39 and the water was 34, that's brisk baby.

Rob

Brisk is an understatement.... you must live up north. In Florida, water temp below 75 is "brisk"....34 is insane ! You the man.    

Toledo Oh

We Ski on the maumee river down past Grand Rapids Oh.

Rob

Rob,
"fantastic"?.. did you have to watch out for ice?
...Im in NW IL ...40 and sunny yesterday.... 5" of snow today, got the sleds out ,not the boat:( ..Im sending the snow your way...softens those hard landings!
Im still looking forward to meeting you at GL (i think).....steve

Hey 62,

You know that our Classics will bust through the ice!!(Ice breakers)The only ice i plan on breakin through this winter is in the bottom of a cooler!

Paul,

i have to make you all jealous i went riding friday it was 75 outside and water temp was like 68 man did it feel great next day off is wed.. cant wait to get back out there glad summer is already here in florida...

I think it made it to 83 today here in Central Texas. It hit 92 already this month. I remember thinking Summer's coming early this year! I'm not sure about the water temperature but the Bass are starting to move. People have been sking the last two weeks. Saw a couple of jet skies this afternoon. Dang, it's hard to get any work done this time of year.

If we don't get some good rain this Spring, we're gonna be in trouble! The lake I live on is pretty constant. The lake that feeds us is about three feet low. (The same lake that had so much water in it in July 2001, it ran over the spillway for the first time ever, creating a 500 year flood.)
We're still in a drought. The main problem has been grass fires and poor forage for the wild and domestic animals. We had a little bit of rain recently but not nearly enough to make up for the dry Fall and Winter. You see, there was this High Pressure dome over us that forced all the tropical moisture to Louisiana. Where they certainly didn't need it. --->What are you, a Weatherman?<---

That's funny. No, just curious. I saw one guy list a nautique for sale in TX because his lake was dry and he didn't expect he'd be able to to use the boat all summer. BKH

Lake Dunlap, in New Braunfels, on the Guadalupe River.
When I was a kid, I'd go swimming in Dec if it was a nice sunny day!
I stole that "weatherman" thing from a TV commercial. The dad takes the family snow sking and the teenage son:"it's summer" Dad: "what are you, a weatherman?"
I laugh every time I see it. Sometimes I give too much detail about the weather

The kids asked if they could go swimming today I think we'll make them wait until April
Dunlap is a great water ski lake if you go in the morning during the week. Smooth as glass!
There's a public boat ramp boat ramp under IH 35. BTW, There's a "temporary" ban on towed inflatables.
It's not the party crowd of Lake Austin though. Sometimes it's nice to be able to cruise up to Carlos and Charlie's for a Rita or raft up with some other boats and party, as we used to say. Or go up to Travis and cruise by Hippie Hollow.
