Hey Norm, how are you?

I'm doing good. My dad's boat is still sitting in the side yard on the
trailer. I am waiting for the temps to stop hitting 32* at night, so I can
fire up the boat with the motor flusher and get it ready.

Since we are all still fantasizing about boats, here's an oldy but goody....

Check out the photo. Yes, that is me waterskiing in the middle. It was July
4th, 1976. All of us "kids" did a waterski show back then. The boat is a
Berkley Avenger(?) with a monster 427ci V-8 engine in the back end. The first
go around, we had 8 of us simultaneously get up behind the boat. When swinging
around the lake's bay, 5 dropped off, and we (for some reason) hung on for
another swing around the bay!

What a boat.... The ultimate in a jet boat. That thing woud take off so fast,
I can remember getting pulled up so hard and so fast, I got pulled right out
of the rubber boots of my slalom ski!!!!

Wow, memories!
