      We were at Sloans yesterday, and boy was it windy and choppy. We will probably be there next Sat or Sun, assuming the weather is nice. Monday will be way too busy.

        Had a great weekend!! Did I mention I LOVE my new boat?

        On a side note: I passed a tige on the road near my house yesterday, blue/green and white 20V. I've never seen that color before, any idea whose it was? It's was in Mead, Colorado, being pulled by a silver Dodge.

          We hit Chatfield yesterday - NEVER AGAIN! That place is ridiculous! For all of the Highlands Ranch people (not Tige peeps), teach your wife how to drive the friggin boat or truck! Both boat ramps had 6 to 8 boats tied to the dock while the husband retrieved the truck because the wife couldn't drive the dang thing. That in turn blocks the boat ramps and holds everyone else up.

          My buddy yelled as we were putting the boat on the trailer "Boating 101 folks, please pay attention" We timed the whole task from my brother backing the truck down the ramp to hook on the bow being hooked up was right at 1 minute total. How hard is it? My wife wasn't there yesterday but she can drive the boat too....

            We get that all the time here in CA. The GF has a very short fuse when it comes to that and she ALWAYS says something to them only to get the one finger solute or a few choice words from the people she talks to...

              There was even a fight at the dock because someone left their boat unattended and didn't tie it up properly and the wind took it and caused it to bash into someone else's boat while they were trying to load (or something like that - heard it from someone else). I know it's early in the season and a little bit of n00b syndrome is to be expected but I have never seen anything remotely like this!

                Hey there... just trolling the site and saw your post. Twas I. We went to boulder to watch the college wakeboard nationals. Was pretty windy and those guys and gals got pounded.

                The boat is new this year. Love it.

                  Got any pics of the nationals and your boat or did you already post those?

                    Hahahah...that is every wife on our lakes as well. My head swells when my wife schools the husbands and wife's that are trying back their boat down the ramp. I get compliments every time I am loading next to another guy.

                      G-Man,
                      Nice boat! Do you live in Mead then? I saw you on 34-1/2. The whole family said "It's a 20V just like ours" in stereo!!

                        When we got our first boat, I gave the wife the option, drive the truck/trailer or drive the boat --- I'm not doing both. She first chose the trailer, but after about 25 mins of watching her jacknife the trailer on the ramp, we switched jobs. She's awsome at stabbing the boat on. She loves it when some dork dragging his boat up with a rope from the dock spots her driving.

                          Our normal lake is just like us! The wives know how to drive the boat or the truck, it's very rare to see a boat tied to the dock waiting for a trailer.

                            Didn't get too many pics of the tourney... camera's at home. See what I can find. Conditions were so bad they were just bouncing along and then pop roll to revert with a grab. I don't know how they were doing it. Wakesurfers were really not feeling it.

                            My girl rocks she puts our boat on the trailer every time. Girls who drive boats r hotter ! We're keeping the boat in Mead while I try to find other storage. Her parents have a huge shop. It's a bit of a drive tho... need to make a move now that the season started.

                              Yup, my wife drives the truck and gets the trailer like a pro! A few weeks back, new boat and tandem trailer she got it right after one quick reset and she's used to s single axle.
