@bananaron Doing alright. I'm thankful that the doc got everything on my nose but, it will be awhile before I look normal again. I'm paying for my younger years. I still have to have a full face treatment "chemo cream" for a lack of a better explanation. Thanks for asking.

My favorite, from my younger days, was a boat paddle.

I had to have two spots removed from my nose Wednesday. That’s three spots this year and one more on my hand still to be removed.

Water and air 62 yesterday. Enjoyed an afternoon out on the water before draining the block in preparation for 22 degrees in a couple of days.

@dbski Beautiful ride, what did you power it with?

I've been thinking of something very similar. For instance in Jump, a skier is only allowed 3 passes. Why not do the same for slalom? If we are honest, we don't really care about watching most skiers opening pass. This should speed up the contest and increase the risk factor slightly.

A tetanus shot should probably be the first thing on your list. @Horton

Several years ago I got frustrated with my derm. and stopped going. He would scan me so quickly that I was pointing out spots he missed so I figured what's the point. Fast forward to this year and I had a couple of spots that just didn't look right. Went to a new derm. last week, had several spots frozen and have the first cut session scheduled for next Wednesday. Thankfully, these are pre-cancerous. They also want to do the cream/light face treatment. Anyone have any experience with that?

Started listening yesterday, thanks for doing this!

It's really interesting watching Nate's style at that speed. He doesn't really load the line until he has almost reached the white-wash.

Gymnastics on water, hmm, he's created a new sport.

I just saw a video of TW on IG skiing on a 2020 67" KD Platinum. He didn't appear to have any trouble turning it and it seems like a large ski for him.

I interpret #2 simply as being tall on the ski. I physically can't move my hips forward if my knees are bent at a 90 degree angle. But yes, please clarify what you mean on #2.

One other thing to add to this conversation is the economy. It has been on a 10+ year run now. Boat manufacturers have a limited production capacity and right now it seems like there are a lot of people with disposable income therefore, manufacturers can charge more. I think some of the price increases we've seen in the last several years are more due to the economy and the scales of supply and demand than anything else.
