I know I had a great time, but I think Quinner and Reid had an even better one.


Don't be scared Chris...


Ok, maybe you should be scared...

Ironical you mention that. I put a razor to my face that night for the second time all year, pictures from our footing session tonight will prove it.

So Reid, sounds like your finally going to buy a Chevy powered CC.


Well, I might indeed have to buy one, but it surely can't stay that way, if I really want to pull those 7 'footers.

Just make sure you study the picture 3588 of Quinner closely. I Think Johnny has a better angle for that picture than me, but it would need to be posted on a XXX rated website!

WOW, What can I say, great pics and a fantastic spread. I don't think it gets any better than that.

Still amazing how many of us have gotten together from this website. Hollywood, any idea on how many miles you've traveled with your skiing adventures this year? Sooner or later you'll end up like Banana George and ski on every continent.

Guys,
I wish I could have made it !! Instead of Keg Stands, I was doing diaper changes and hand offs of the baby to Steph for feeding time. Parent hood is great but I still hate I missed the Party at "The Pinkham's "
The pics are great looks like a great time was had by all !!

We sure wish you could've been there too. I think you would have had an awesome time.

H.W: Now you have blown my cover, all the guys here know I don't usually go under the motor box. Nice shot of quinner telling me to "move closer". Sure wish I could have stayed over to help you and Johnny with that tough overnite job.

Nicely stated Johnny, and once again Reid and Laurie are so awesome, Reid drove for all the multi-man foot run's and did an exceptional job with that awesome bowtie powerplant, Ruck kept us well fed the entire weekend and Nautique John kept us skiers skiing, footin and wakesurfin, JBear was like a teenager and quite a trooper when I took him out along with myself on one of the 6 man runs, it was great meeting Tom and Greg, really looking forward to seeing all Greg's photo's, Josh was instrumental in keeping the cold beer flowing and Jerry keeping the boats organized and running, Reid's compound is party central and could easily be confused for a marina with all the boats in and around his piers. Thanks So Very Much to Reid and Laurie along with all the others that made this one of the best weekends ever!!

Maddie and Chris

PS, forgot to mention Boatie and Skipper, the 2 lucky dog's who Maddie played with for hours on end.

Hollywood and I stayed up and killed the second keg Sunday night/Monday morning. Time of death: approximately 2:00am. Fortunately, a fridge full of beer allowed us to stay up until it was time to go to the airport.

What a great weekend! Reid and Laurie were the best hosts ever, and the Pinkham compound is a boaters paradise! There was at least 7-10 boats on Reid's dock at all times, each one with an open invitation to drive. It was great to get to see some of the friendly faces from Green Lake so soon after. Meeting Tom, Greg, and Jbear was awesome as well. Barefoot Eddie (seen in skicat's) second picture is a freak of nature, barefooting through chop many couldn't handle with a ski on! The 5 and 6 man barefoot runs were great to be a part of, 6 was a personal record for me. And yes the rumors are true...Reid is a hell of a driver, perfect pulls every time. Reid and Laurie, thank you so much for having us, it was one of the best weekends of the summer for sure!

Here's a little video clip of the 5-man. I wish we'd had a closer viewing spot so you could see more before they started dropping off, but they had to start deep in the cove to get the calmest water. Please notice the extreme professionalism of the boat driver.

I just realized my memory card with most of my pictures is at home. I will try to post those tonight. Here are a couple.

All the young guns getting ready to be schooled by master Eddie.





They did get the 6 man, but pics at home. Here is the 5 man. L to R: Hollywood, Johnny, Nautique John, Jbear, Quinner.

If skiing after dark is no good then driving for skiing after dark must be even worse.

Josh...you are always to busy to waste time skiing. Sorry I forgot to mention all your help over the weekend.

Tom...great to see ya on here as well.

MM....I love ridin the shot-ski. Jerry mixed us up some great stuff that tasted just like apple pie.
