A long awaited saturday.

In February a friend of mine, James Starr and I went to the boat show they have at the Idaho Expo Center at the Fairgrounds. He wanted to look at jet boats and I went pretty much planning on buying a ski. I figured it was probably time. I found a good deal on a Connelly F1X and texted Michelle to ask if I could buy it. She didn't reply so I figured that was as good as a "yes." Anyway, as you can imagine I was anxious as all getout to use it, especially since I had to wait at least two months before I could use it. Instead of storing my ski in the garage or a closet I kept it in the living room. I would talk to it and tell it how much I wanted to use it and how much fun we would have together.
Unfortunately when the time came to use my F1X I wasn't very impressed. It turned fine but it didn't feel as good as other ski's I've used. I found some information online and tried to figure out what I could do to make it suit my style. Of course once I did some adjusting I wanted to try it out. I waited and waited for what seemed like an eternity as a month and a half went by. A long time for the amount of summer in Idaho.

Finally, last night at around 10:00 a friend of mine, Brian Collette called to see if I wanted to hit the lake this morning. Of course I did!!! The air was a little brisk, we got there at nine, but the water was pretty warm and most importantly smooth with no other boats on the water. It was awesome. Amazingly enough, the adjustment I made to the ski seemed to work. It felt tons better. Stoked is pretty much how I was feeling. I was planning on bringing my camera to take some pictures but I had left it at work. I decided to post some shots of last summer since no one has seen them. The ski I'm on belongs to another friend of mine Troy Brown. Hopefully I'll have another saturday morning or weeknight evening to get some pictures of me on my F1X before the summer is over. Or maybe we'll just go in october again!
