Anybody ever have signs pop up that tell you to stay off your ski that day?
Me, Wayne, his wife, my step daughter and her friend that's visiting from Iowa went to the lake today for a ride. Well, I took one of Wayne's Honda's out to pull the girls on the tube. All went well. Then.........
I get on my sj and head out for a quick spin. As soon as I left the no wake zone I tried a flatwater br. I didn't get my eyes closed quick enough and out pops my left contact lens. Great.
So I head back in and luckily find an old lens in a case in my truck. Cool, right? So I head back out and bingo.....the exact same thing happens except the right lens this time. No more spares. I'd only lost one lens in five or six years of riding, now two back to back in a span of 5 minutes on the water. I start thinking maybe I should give it up for the day, but no.....I head out towards the bridge to catch some waves. About 10 minutes later snap, there goes my throttle cable. :soapboxit actually came lose from the bracket at the carb, but thought it broke at the time). WTF?????
So Wayne had to ride in and get on a Honda to come tow my arse back in. I mean seriously??? I gave it up for the day after all that crap happened in a matter of 15 minutes. I mean what the hell else woulda happened if I'd of kept my ass out there?
Anybody else ever had a string of shlt like that happen that made you think twice about being out there on your ski that day?
Oh yeah.....one of my bilge pumps gave out on me too at the same time.
Hopefully Sunday will be a better day!!
