ouch.....

looks like the 'cat is outa the bag' so to speak.

as you all can tell from the pics...a place so beautiful it is hard to describe.

there has to be a reason why we in the WSWSC have returned year after year for over 40 summers.

awesome memories made there with my brother & his family plus all our ski club friends.

there certainly is plenty of great water and room for all to share.

I do feel as tho we'll need to address the desecration of World Famous BAREFOOT cove.

ps; very cool to see skicat footin' on the boom. sure wish you'da done that while I was there!
hope your Dad is on the mend Greg.

I would like to say that no damage was done to barefoot cove during the shooting of my pictures. They were done outside of sacred waters!

Update on my dad- 84 yr old doing things he shouldn't have fell and broke his back, some ribs, punctured lung, broken shoulder blade, & cut his head. I was up there last week and they removed his feeding and breathing tube. He is one tough old man and today they moved him to a rehab facility from the hospital and expected to be fine after a pretty long recovery. Thanks for all of the prayers and concern.

Awesome gathering for team red. Wow.

How did you guys get those rigs so perfectly spaced? Not an easy task with a little wind.

Why is jackie's hair still dry when she's skiing? Why is HW so bad on trick skis?

That water looks amazing. So jealous.

3 possibilities to the spacing Chris, 1- fantastic driving abilities of Team Red drivers,2- luck or 3 - alot of yelling. I suspect a combination of 2 and 3
Jackie never falls down so by the time that picture was taken her hair dried.
Hollywood and Tim seem never to fall down either so when they did it was worthy of a picture as opposed to myself who warranted a pic just for standing up.
We now need to beg for forgiveness on our defiling of barefoot cove but in our defense after all we were unsupervised out of towner's

So I've been trying to pull a Pete and get many years of service out of an impeller but not sure what I'm doing wrong. It probably hasn't been changed in 3+ years but noticed the last few times I took her out that she was running a little hotter than normal. I figured it was she was throwing a bit of a tantrum because she's been a little neglected since I got Kermit or because the water temps on the local lakes are more like bath water because of the lack of rain around here.
When we were leaving the marina down river after lunch and beer, Reid turned and ask me if the temp gage was working properly. Yep, why?   Well she's running way hot! Temp gage was pegged and the light was on. Popped the hot and Miss Scaretts heart was burning up. Used the empty bottles laying round to cool her off a bit and started pulling the pump off. Gary hung close to offer assistance and take pics of the crime scene.



I always keep a new impeller in the toolbox for this very reason so after a 30 min delay we were back underway.

Yeah, I think the impeller let me know that it was tired and calling it quits!

What a waste Tim, that impeller has plenty of life left in it. I hope you put it in the toolbox for your new spare.

For those that feel they are saving $$$ by not changing impellers more often, guess where all those rubber bits end up?

I just looked on Wikipedia, that cove used to be named "Tubing Cove" until about 40 years ago some clowns showed up and ruined it for the locals.

     Actually correctly known as Crooked Creek and was quite the popular fishing cove until we showed up. Old time local known as Uncle Charlie once pulled a BIG old gun from his tackle box and threatened to blow holes in the next Ski-Nauti-Q that blasted through there! End of 'footing while Charlie anywhere in the area!!

That's a great story! I can almost picture Charlie reaching into the tackle box to show those young kids a thing about messing with fishtermen.

I love the old stories, I was telling my kids some of them from our lake, names and happenings they had never heard about. So much of it fades away over time.

Tim,
I could have gotten at least a year more out of an impeller looking like that!

Seriously, I feel you are correct that you have been neglecting Miss Scarlet. Too many hours between using her so the water in the RWP is drying up consequently too many dry starts. Nothing to do about that except use her more and plan on more impeller changes. Have you installed a Timmy T? Hooking up the hose before starting sure would help too.

She had been running fine and I've used her a bit more recently teaching some new kids to ski. The 72 is more my spring fall boat cause I need a Bimini in the heat of Summer....Miss S gets her trip to Lake X every year.... No Timmy T installed as I still go old school with the toilet plunger under the boat every spring. Probably should change it out every 2-3 years max....

Most of the pieces fell out Bruce....I filled the intake tube from the strainer to the pump with water then drained it in the bilge. Most of the big chunks came out with it. I need to drag her out of the garage and flush the rest of the cooling hoses to be sure there isn't a renegade chunk of rubber hiding somewhere.

Uncle Charlie lived on the road into the dock. Had an very old Ford pickup. Could pull outa his drive and coast all the way down to the dock. Uncle Charlie was one of many locals that did not know what to make of our group when we first started coming to the lake. But we are now on very good terms with most all of them. Sadly most of the oldtimers are now gone.
