I was going to have another 4-pack of tallboy IPA's for only me to drink while we pontificate about life, waterskiing and solving the worlds problems while sitting in the bleachers watching Mens 3 and Mens 4. Don't forget to bring your quarters to gamble or wager on skiers passes, high scores, failures, buoy's they will fall at and win-place-show. It's an annual tradition. You won't be too sick to go to Hawaii the following week will you?? Edited August 3, 2023 by scoke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller scoke Posted August 5, 2023 Baller Share Posted August 5, 2023 (edited) Waters around 88-90 now. Tad on the warm side but ski sits nicely and its a bit sticky but still swings out. If you are skiing after 2pm, bring a poncho, goggles and patience. At one point we had 12+ boats today. Edited August 5, 2023 by scoke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller scoke Posted August 10, 2023 Baller Share Posted August 10, 2023 (edited) I dont want to be "the actually guy", but the live scoring right now is accurate.

Baller Hallpass Posted August 10, 2023 Baller Share Posted August 10, 2023 @SCoke. Just know what I saw. I was texting with one of the B5 parents and she was seeing the same thing as I was seeing. She actually sent me of photo of results from the facilty well before the live scoring was updated. B5 is now complete on live scoring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've got 2x points on players cards for black jack tonight. come join me! Edit at 6:12pm looking at the radar: this is a legit bad one, 3 hours plus and lightning. driving by now and it’s bad. Main is 1 notch short of white caps. might go to the kennel club instead as they have 3 card monte. main lake is going to be “busy” water for the next two days fyi. edit 2: looks like 4 hours of skiers didn’t get on the water today.
