you might want to pack ur snowboard though.

i'm actually tak'n' a week and going to florida just so i can try and stick a few tricks for the first time before the year ends...and make a little vaca outta the deal.

I won't push you one way or the other for riding, but if you do decide your up to it while here your welcome to a pull on my boat.

nwhc = north west homo club?

80 too cold? nah, i'm not that big of a wuss. i've been known to trunk it w/ 56 water temp and 65 air temp. for the nwhc, i guess that's nothin'. but for a skinnier guy from cali, that's huge!

and i'm dead serious about clubjoe wearing a drysuit in july.

Man!

I'm missing that 46 degree air right now. I'm sitting here in the San Jose airport on my third delay for the flight home. F'n Alaska!

The only saving grace is my cold Sam Adams and the Bits&Bytes Internet Cafe.

Hey!! It was just the one day in July!!

Besides, I may whine about it in winter (ok summer too), but if you recall, it doesn't stop me from going!

...

I figured everything was frozen in
WA, but what do I know?.....Haven't been on the snow in years, and never on a board.........yet!

Cliff- Yeah, I'd be up for ridin' if I can get free....Still have to figure out what's going on, and how long we'll be there though (me/girlfriend are going)....Thanks for the offer!

You don't get free with Cliff -- he always charges, but the show's worth it.

hey jamie, i was supposed to go to Orlando and stay with sean obrien on the 15-20th of dec...but i found out i have a meeting for work the 15-17 that i can't miss so i have to go next month sometime. AHHHHHH!

oh, and don't forget to mark your bags "snowboards" instead of wakeboards, they'll charge ya extra for wakeboards (don't ask me why :-)

Dont' worry J-Rod. Joe has horrible flash backs from when he gave winter riding with us shot a couple years back. Let's just say purple Filipinos arent' very attractive.

Joe,

I love you little buddy, but go easy or the pic of your fateful day in 42 degree water is coming out.

Eagle,

We're definitely going this weekend. I'll give you a call.

i am going easy!

on a different note, did you guys fair well with the storms that hit the northwest? my mom called me on saturday to tell me about the snow, then told me a couple days later about all the rain, flood, wind, etc.

(seattle) · (seattle) **Join Date: Mar 2002** 12-06-2007, 1:24 PM

All the flooding happened in the tide flats from south of Tacoma and down towards Vancouver. They just keep reporting it as Seattle.

It was a pretty good rain storm though, even by our standards.

Cliff ~ come on! post it anyways

(dakid) · (dakid) **Join Date: Feb 2001** 12-06-2007, 2:30 PM

yeah, my parents' home was spared as well, tho parts of woodinville was flooded.

why bug's dying to see a bad picture of me, i have no idea. maybe he's secretly part of a homosexual club.

(slaysher) · (slaysher) **Join Date: Jun 2006** 12-06-2007, 3:38 PM

Our chance to shred the puddle gnar has come and gone. But I was thinking the same exact thing.

(antbug) · (antbug) **Join Date: Jul 2004** 12-06-2007, 7:02 PM

aaaww come on Joe.... If you can't laugh at your self, who can?

(slaysher) · (slaysher) **Join Date: Jun 2006** 12-06-2007, 8:39 PM

riley...you know it!! i actually had a shorty on, wakeskate shoes, and adam had the keys to the van and everything at the end of work, and was ready to go but our HR lady and boss were still there and woulda had a $h!+ fit if i'd have gone whizz'n' past the window on the sk8 LOL.

so we pulled out at the last.
