How'd you do this season?

[wotan2525]

My season isn't over but it's winding down here in WI. Thought I'd throw out some stats:

45 - days on the water
160+ - engine hours
$135 - launch fees
$2500 - gas (OUCH!)
$1120 - beer (just what I purchased....)
2 - broken wakesurf fins
3 - broken wakeboard bindings
3 - batteries replaced
1 - prop consumed (best ever... usually go through 2-3/season)
1 - tow ins after mechanical failure (severe rope tangle.)
1 - tow in after running out of gas
1 - engine pull (cracked oil drain fitting.)
0 - fat sacs without holes or split seams (started with 5 good ones.)
0 - functioning depth finders (damn these things!)
∞ - hangovers/stories/smiles.

Probably another 2 weeks of fun to keep adding to these...... Knock on wood!

DUDE - split fatsacs? DAYUM what happened lol.

Got my backroll on lock finally, just wish I could add style or big air lol! Tantrum is causing me my first ever knee twinges in 14 years boarding. I think I am gonna lessen the duck in my right (rear) foot and see if that helps.

Minor engine issues continue(runs rough and vibrates, some power loss), electrical/ignition parts replacement continues.

Ok slightly different tune here....
40 hours on water
reliable running boat
1-tow in at the beginning of the season
interior almost complete, done at night at home!!!
new carpet
rebuilt and painted trailer

And some new found patience for the boat I thought I'd use every weekend, but enjoyed working on just the same.....it'll be that much better next year....
Somebodies giving up her parking spot behind the house this winter, so no more 2.5 hour drive to go restore the boat! My son will be that much older next year.....I don;t know why I thought it had to be perfect this year!!!!!!!
