Took my youngest daughter out on the jetski for the first time, she wouldn't stop asking. Finally my wife told me to take her out. We only stayed in the marina and never broke out of no wake but she had a blast. I see a speed demon in my future. Side note she does have her USCG approved PFD and was tethered to me and the engine shut-off lanyard. Safety first!
 
Worse than skunks IMO. He was poking around my neighbors front yard and then I chased him through my front yard. Too bad my doorbell camera didn’t get that at 6am.

They are super destructive by undermining your homes slab. Make sure he's not digging under your house. On a positive note, they are super easy to trap.
 
Finally getting the last piece of my dream shop... my 10k lb lift.
Started putting it up today.
Cant wait, it's wide enough to back a boat onto and lift it up to work on the pumps or outboard like a human not a caveman on the ground.
No more Toyota tech for me, I am full time working for myself. Officially it's: Neutron Cycle and Jetski service LLC.

Thanks, It was definitely a big leap but I just turned 52 and we are set pretty good financially so it was a great time to do it. Getting steady calls and keeping busy.

Wish you were closer…I would get on the waiting list to rebuild the top end of a Yamaha 9.9 OB motor that broke a valve/spring on us yesterday.

Picked up another ski for a killer price, a friend is going through a divorce and didnt want his wife getting anything. So for the cost of the transfer of title I got the ski. I offered way more and he refused it because he would have to split it.
I talked to my wife and she said have fun with the name and decal. Made this up and printed it last night, install today. Should be a conversation piece.
 
It’s nice to go to sleep in the middle of the Atlantic and wake up in paradise.

Sounds like y’all are having a great time on your cruise! ??

I think it’s the best time ever for cruises as there has never been such a choice in ship size, features, and itineraries. We did 4 weeks of cruising last year on much smaller ships, as we are older, slower, and empty nesters.

This is our second cruise. Last year we tried it for the first time, figuring living in Florida now and only a 20 min drive from the house to the Tampa port would be worth a shot. This year we did the next class size up so we were forced outside of Tampa as this class of ship won’t fit under the Skyway bridge. Mexico last year and Bahamas this year. I would say if nobody has done a cruise before, it’s worth the try. A small 3 night 4 day like we do is just enough time away. For me, I was ready to sell the house, wife and kids (keep the dogs, they are the only ones ever happy to see me ?) and move on a cruise ship. Doesn’t even need a destination IMO.
