Throughout this year I have been taking a lot of Boating trips to Milerton Lake, My buddy John and I were going out prob once or twice a week all summer long. It was great fun. Wakeboarding has been so much fun to do. We have had so many fun experiences. Anywhere from wakeboarding 2 people off of the boat. So much fun to have two people on boards at one time, spraying each other with water, Jumping the wakes one right after the other. Its also a lot easier to learn tricks when you see what to do right in front of you.
We also had fun jumping off the boat Seal Team Style boat doing 20-40 mph along the water and jumping off. I did that until I got a concussion one time and I said that is good for me for the summer. Another day we went out and I hit the water so fast and so hard that my eye was litterally swelling out of its socket. John took a look at that after boarding for a while and told me to close my eye. Next thing I knew John was pushing my eye back in to place. That was a really weird day for me. We kept on boarding though, I figured if I can still see straight with one eye, I could still drive the boat for John. We are still going out, just not as often with the cold weather.
"Fun with the little guys at the lake"Ive also joined GB3 and have been going to the gym regulary in the afternoons. It feels great to workout. Ive lost 18 pounds so far. Lets see how many more I will go.
Oh and the latest adventure was last Wednesday for Veterans day we went shooting, We figured its what they would want us to do. We brought out the big guns. A .40 cal and a .45 handgun. a 12 gauge shotgun, a .308 and a Mini 30 We had a blast up at redinger Lake. After awhile at the lake we decided to change things up a bit and go shoot an old bath tub. We got out there and John heard some sort of groaning noise it sounded like and some scurring in the bushes so he got the rifle and went out there, trying to figure out what it was. Came to a area of thick bush so he turned around told me to get a gun and follow him and keep an I out to the side. We got about 10 feet from this bush and we heard a growling purr. At that point we both decided since we still couldnt see it but could hear us and it could see us that it was time to back away slowly. We also told the girls to get back in the truck. Once at the bottom of the hill and next to the truck we both looked at each other and decided it was time to get a look at the little fella.
So both of us got rifles and loaded them and had extra rounds with us, and then got our handguns in our holsters and went to the other side of the area on a flat top basically same height of the hill we were on and we were looking for the furry little guy wherever he might be. We got closer than we wanted but at about 20 feet I could hear it breathing though its nose, John a little later got it in his scope. It was a nice little mountain Lion with its head purched up on a manzanita bush, looking at us. About a minute later we heard another one prob no more than 30 feet from us and it was moving so we decided to just leave and let them be before one of us get mauled or worse one of the girls gets mauled by it.
This shot is from 150 yards shooting clay pigons got them every time (so fun)
People in the ward keep saying that John and I together are hazardous to our health. One of us always gets hurt or something crazy always happens when we are around each other. We were watching Sahara with a group and we were like that is totally us, something always is happening when we are together fooling around. So far I have got two concussions, one of which I blacked out after biffing it in the lake, a swollen eye that was popping out of socket (which John so kindly pushed back into place for me), our little mountain lion adventure, fun times at tollhouse rock and rock climbing and many many more that I cant remember in detail.
