Administrators Horton Posted May 5, 2014 Administrators Share Posted May 5, 2014 For my whole life I have skied at my dad’s lake or as a guest at someone else’s lake. Last Friday was the first time I ever skied on a lake as an owner. It was also the first time anyone ever skied as my guest. Pretty special stuff for me. I owe a lot of rides to a lot of skiers. They know who they are. If that was not enough, Paul Crawford showed up with my Centurion. There will be a lot of photos and talk about the boat => that will be another thread. I have only skied behind her once and driven a little. For now I can say she exceeds expectations. There are now two Centurions on the lake so stay tuned for that. Besides that it was good to see a few random Ballers who just happened to be in the neighborhood. Scott Larson showed up and skied next door behind “Bad Water” Bob’s new sparkly red Centurion. @eleeski showed up did some trick coaching and then attempted to share some random boat design ideas to Crawford. The trick coaching was good.

Baller 6balls Posted May 6, 2014 Baller Share Posted May 6, 2014 @horton cool stuff. Good time to think about your old man's influence and why this is all so important and meaningful to you now. Enjoy the lake, the boat and your family! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller eleeski Posted May 6, 2014 Baller Share Posted May 6, 2014 Really I was just trying to mooch a ride behind his new boat on his new lake. The boat was a bit late arriving and time got too tight. To think, he took the ride instead of me. Ha! Also I was trying to talk Paul into giving me @Horton 's boat to grind on. Paul was very polite - I wonder what he was really wanting to say. The boat is really pretty - it would be a shame to let me at it with my tools. Speaking of pretty, Kim looks great and excited about the baby. New house, new lake, new boat and a new baby soon. The Hortons are on a fun ride!

Administrators Horton Posted May 6, 2014 Author Administrators Share Posted May 6, 2014 @rico looks like I timed it just right @OB @Bulldog @Chef23 thanks. Never thought I would see the day @kstateskier fly out any time but I am not giving you the gate code @6balls thanks. Dr Jack is 84 Tuesday @eleeski after you left Bob and I talked about a better gate and fence. Maybe a moat full of angry bass with laser beams on their foreheads Goode ★ HO Syndicate ★ KD Skis ★ MasterCraft ★ PerfSki Radar ★ Reflex ★ S Lines ★ Stokes ★ Baller Video Coaching System Drop a dime in the can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller colo_skier Posted May 6, 2014 Baller Share Posted May 6, 2014 @kateskier It's not a long walk from the gate to the dock or even @horton's dock to pee off of. @Horton congratulations on all the life changing events and especially second what @6balls said. He is a man of wisdom on the family point. I may just have to find a simple excuse to fly out to California like hey Southwest is only $42 each way and a whole bunch of ballers are going to be out there.

Baller colo_skier Posted May 7, 2014 Baller Share Posted May 7, 2014 That's what @Horton's neighbor used to think they had :). Seems they believe there will be a steady steam of out of state visitors running that new boat all day long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller colo_skier Posted May 8, 2014 Baller Share Posted May 8, 2014 Looks like each ski excursion is going to require Beer and steaks. The steak's are not for John. Congrats @Horton the place looks like it filled up really well and looks like it will be a blast for you to ski at. Wish I had such a set up here. Denver to Bakersfield $49 one way right now.
