Hey Kyle, what's up? Ya, the water was nice Monday afternoon/night. Got on the water about 2:30 and it was glass. Maybe we can squeak a set out before I leave for the Ozarks that weekend. We leave Thursday June 5th untill that Sunday the 8th. But I am game to get some riding done after that as well!

I'm gettin' antsy to get out! How's the water in Nebraska? Still need a wetsuit to survive the Wisconsin waters, but I'm hoping to be able to trunk it in Nebraska around May 19th.

You all should also check out www.midwestwakeboarder.com. It's a nice community of midwest riders that hook each other up with pulls and advice. The Nebraska Pull section is pretty lonely.

Also, has anyone checked out the Omaha Marine Center's Pro Shop?

I was in Omaha marine's pro shop the other day, they have a pretty good variety, especially for NE. Yesterday at Beaver the water was 62, so right now, wetsuits are your option, it just depends on the air temp and how much you plan on being in the water!

I got the boat out today so we could clean it up and put the tower back up. Here are my little helpers. The two on the outside are mine and the middle one is a neighbor friend.

Here is a picture of the tower before we put it back up...THAT MOTHER is heavy. Had to get the neighbor kids to help me lift it up. I guess they are not really kids, they are in college...I just call them kids because they are more then 15 years younger then me...

As luck would have it, I forgot to take my rope with me today, so I didn't even get in the water. I love my boat, maybe it is a good thing that I help onto it this year. Darin, I will let you know when I head back out again. My main reason for going out today was to blow the cobwebs out it.

Jesse, it was good to get on the water, even though I wasn't able to get in. I have all my stuff packed away right now, so I just forgot to get the rope out. I also forgot to bring a towel, so it would have been cold after I got out. No towel wouldn't have stopped me from getting in though.

Darin, it was a buddy of mine that was stopping by to give me a hard time. Thank god, because you know it's going to be tight this year with gas the way it is...I am itching to get out. I need to put in the extra ballast sacs that I have while the weather is crappy...

It's cool Jesse, due to the wind we had a really short run of things and I killed myself on a few falls, so we weren't out long. Don't worry, we'll get you out there. Have you checked into Omaha Marine's riders club? $25 an you get to ride twice at each of their sessions. You can't buy gas for that. If you have questions, hit me up.

Darin, if you want to help out with getting a couple things ready for the summer, I might need a hand. I want to install the ballast system upgrade I have from Fly High and I also have a pair of Wetsounds 485s that just arrived at Nebraska Watersports. If I get time over the next couple of days I am going to work on these projects...

Darin, you can try my cell when you get off work, 310-4148. I am heading back out to the boat right now after dropping off the kids. I didn't get much done with them there. I have to work this weekend, but if next weekend is nice I will be out.

Eric, can you tell me which one of the hoses up front will be the one I use for venting the Fly High Ballast? There are two up there and I am not sure which one I should tie into. I think I can tell which one it is, but I don't wont to tie into the wrong one.

I will try and pick up those Wetsounds speakers tomorrow or Friday if I get a chance. Otherwise, it most likely wont be until tomorrow. I can't wait to get those badboys on and fired up

I am going to finish up with the Fly High System this morning and then try and pick up my Westsounds Speakers this afternoon. The Fly High system is really easy to do, it's just that I was a little slow sense it was the first time. Hopefully I can work on my speakers some today too...

boardcrazy,
You can tap into both sides for the vent hose. As long as you have those check valves on each one, you will be good. The STBD side has both the rear and kgb vent lines next to each other, and the port side has just the rear vent line. Check my install out for reference. Always helps to see a picture of it.

Thanks Shawn...I ended up just pulling the cover off the front tank so I could see which hose it was. I took it out for a lake test yesterday and all the tanks filled nicely. I couldn't get one of them to empty though. I ended up unattaching the hose and letting it drain out on it's own. After I got home I remembered that those empellers can get stuck one way in the pump sometimes. Hopefully that is the case. I am going to buy an extra one for a back up so I don't have to sit and wait for it to drain in the future...

Darin, call me today if you get a chance. I might need to do another lake test later today to see if that pump work correctly and I don't have anyone to go out with me right now. If everything works we can even get some riding in...

Jon, just call if you plan to be in Lincoln. If we are riding, you would be welcome to go with us...

Jake,
Just found out this morning that Woodcliff has been moved to no wake, due to the water level. Sucks! Feel free to hit me up if you want to head out to the Beaver. We are about 3 inches high at the moment, thanks to a great damn/spillway set-up. Traffic has been pretty light out there as well, must be the gas prices! It has been a long time since we have been able to ride on a Saturday morning untill 10:30am on good water.
Late,
Shawn

Eric, I got your message and I left you a voice mail. I must have screwed that up. I took today off so I could get some stuff done on the boat. I am going to check the impellers first to make sure that is not the problem. I will let you know what I need.

As for the the Wetsounds, you probably wont believe this, but I haven't even got them out of the boxes yet. I have been too busy...but I plan to get them on today too. If I have enough time that is...I will definetly shoot you some pictures when I get it done. I think the boat is going to look awesome and I can't wait to hear them after what everyone else has to say about them.

Did you get yours on yet???

Shoot me the numbers on the 35s and I will call you after I get them. Talk to you soon...

Just put the westsounds 485s on the boat today and HOLY MOTHER MARY OF JESUS those things are sweet. Couldn't be happier with the way they sound. One side looks a little janky because I had to do some finagling to get them on, but it's only because I got one pair of brackets for both sets of speaker. Once I get the other brackets I should be set to go. I will get some pictures the next time I go out so I can post them...
